Hardware-accelerated decoding and encoding

Last updated on Dec 14, 2023

Boost Your Export and Playback Performance with Premiere Pro's Hardware Accelerated Encoding and Decoding.

Premiere Pro supports Hardware accelerated encoding to accelerate the encoding (export) performance and reduce the time to export H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) formats. Premiere Pro can also improve the timeline playback performance with hardware-accelerated decoding support for H.264 and H.265 formats.

A GPU with hardware-accelerated encoding and decoding capabilities is required to use these features.
Learn whether your system supports hardware-accelerated decoding and encoding depending on the GPU you use — NVIDIA, Intel, AMD, or Apple silicon.

Apple silicon (M1 and higher) supports hardware-accelerated decoding and encoding of H.264 and H.265 formats, including 10-bit 4:2:2 decoding support. HEVC HLG 4:2:0 10-bit encoding still encodes via software.
