No Hardware Acceleration. DJI Aerial Drone Footage

chris-caulcutt wrote on 6/30/2017, 10:22 AM

A 5 minute MP4 1080 50fps video with imported MP3 sound-track takes close to 1 hour to render with no hardware acceleration.

Software:

  • Movie Edit Pro Premium 2017

System

  • Software: Windows 10 64bit
  • Processor: Intel i7 7700k
  • Graphics Card : Gigabyte nvidia GTX 1080 G1
  • Ram: Corsair Vengeance 64GB 3333mhz

All my aerial videos are captured with the new Dji Phantom 4 Pro and Inspire 1 Drone.

Recording Options are 1080 up to 4K . Various frame rates. Usually I go for 50fps. Mpeg 4 format.

Hardware Acceleration has been selected in Program Options.

Can anyone shed some light as to whats going on?

Thank you

Chris

Hi Chris

Make sure your Intel HD graphics in you i7 are active - you should see both the iGPU and GTX in Device manager. If not you may need to do this in Bios or just plug the on board graphic output into a monitor.

SW only export is pretty slow with the Intel codec but 12x less than realtime sounds too long. HW export should be pretty swift and can go through in better than realtime if there are not too many effects and optimisations on the timeline footage.

Note that your Nvidia card will not support HW export.
