Dear All

I have started producing 4K Video content regularlly for my Gaming YouTube channel but PD 14 Ultimate does not allow me to use hardware video encoding while producing/rendering videos

I have created 30fps and 60fps profiles in mp4 codec as custome profile.

While it does produces video file in 4K but it takes too long (1 hours video takes 4 hours to produce) as it is relying on CPU only

I have Nvidia GTX 980ti as GPU and Intel i5 3570K as CPU

Can anyone suggest workaround?

PS: 1440p/1080p resolution videos are rendering fine and it does allow use of hardware video encoding

Thanks PROHDGaming Subcribe @ http://bit.ly/1650GFv

there isn't any for GTX 980Ti.

to my knowledge, so far only GTX 950 & GTX 960 with GM206 can encode & decode H.265 HEVC.

GTX 970 & GTX 980 is GM204 and GTX 950M, GTX 960M, GTX 965M, GTX 970M & GTX 980M HA decode only.

encode only with nVidia's NVENC...

4K H.264 AVC HA, you should. i have first gen GTX 750Ti and working fine.

my PD14 is v2019 and driver version is 347.25.

had some driver issues >347.xx <359.xx

; however, >359.xx should be fine.

Happy Holidays.

Don't use the default youtube "online" profile. That does not support HA. Use a standard 2D profile, h264, that will be accelerated.

Why the provided profile does not support HA? Because of licensing issues. That specific format (h264 or h265) is not allowed to be used for commercial work (licensing agreement), so you should not use those files if your youtube channel is ad-supported (you are making money from it). That's why PD defaults to WMV for youtube uploads... those have no licensing issues but unfortunatelly those are hot hardware supported by the video cards.
