The new hardware accelerated encoding is similar to Quick Sync - with a few key differences. Since quality is everything in the video world, a lot of users have pushed Quick Sync aside and just accepted longer render times. Many users complain that media exported using Quick Sync has a noticeable downgrade in quality and can even cause artifacts in footage. While Quick Sync helped with faster render times and exporting timelines with mixed media formats, the benefits came with some trade-offs. Additionally, this feature isn’t available on X-series CPUs, and it must be paired with a compatible motherboard, which makes it a little difficult to utilize. Quick Sync is only available through certain Intel Processors, and it can’t be used with discrete GPUs. This is (technically) a form of hardware acceleration that uses the CPU’s built-in graphics processing to export media. Prior to the current update, Adobe enabled Quick Sync, which utilizes the CPU’s built-in graphics processor for quicker export times. How will Hardware Accelerated Encode improve on Quick Sync?

The changes also apply to Adobe’s Media Encoder, After Effects, and Audition apps.” The 14.2 update includes GPU-accelerated encoding using Nvidia’s hardware encoder for the company’s Quadro and GeForce graphics cards, with the promise that video editors will be able to export high-resolution videos up to 5 times faster than by just using the CPU. “Adobe is releasing a new update to Premiere Pro this week that includes hardware acceleration for Nvidia and AMD GPUs. Here’s how The Verge summed up the announcement: AMD and NVIDIA cards are both supported in this update, so whether you’re on Team Red or Team Green, you’ll be all set. They allow better playback and help render specific effects, but they’ve long been absent in the final export process. Graphics processors are very important during the editing process. This new feature allows your discrete graphics card to lend a hand during the rendering process, making your exports faster. Improvements to the ProRes RAW Import on Adobe’s Community Forum.
