Solved Utilizing Cuda in video rendering?

Hi guys. So I watched the Zen video on how to activate a OpenCL or Cuda enabled graphics card to help with video rendering to help make it faster and also to help not over-stress my CPU. I have a Titan Black nividia card, and I have followed step for step and setup the use cuda if available. But it still only defaults to using just CPU. When I check my monitoring systems, it shows my CPU spike to 80C and 100% usage. while my GPU readings show no spike at all, and the rendering is taking longer with this option checked then it has in the past. Is there something else I need to do? I am using Sony Movie Studio Platinum 13.0, and have a 4 core i7-4790k which is liquid cooled by a sealed system.

I am attempting to render gameplay footage for let's plays. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Orexxer

The modern Nvidia GTX600, GTX700, GTX900 and Titan Graphics Cards are not supported by Mainconcept AVC/AAC hardware rendering.
Mainconcept is a very old codec now. The makers of Mainconcept have not updated their coding to work with modern GPU Architecture.
As well as this, Nivida has crippled the Drivers in their cards for Video Rendering - they are trying to force people into buying the much more expensive Quadro Cards.

All the older Nvidia GTX400 and GTX500 Graphics Cards do work very, very well with Mainconcept.

I use a GTX460 and use CUDA to render. I also have an Intel i7-2600k. Rendering using CUDA is much faster than using only the i7-2600k.

Just in case other people read this thread, please be aware that AMD Radeon cards work a lot better with Movie Studio Platinum and Sony Vegas Pro.
AMD has been working closely with Sony and has much better Drivers for GPU Acceleration of Video Processing.

Users that do have a modern Nvidia Graphics Card have reported to me that Sony AVC/MVC does utilize CUDA for rendering.
Have you tried this yet ?
Select Render using GPU if available.
OR
Because you have a modern CPU, you may also be able to use Intel HD Graphics for GPU Acceleration.
Select one of the Intel Quick-sync options.



Also make sure you have your Graphics Card turned ON in the preference settings.
Go to Options - Preferences - Video

Hi there. I have followed the instructions as you put for making sure my graphics card is selected and also trying the Sony Codec with GPU if available selected but it still does not seem like my card is being utilized at all, Sony Studio detects I have Cuda available but does not use it. I tried the intel quick sync option but tells me it is unavailable when I try to start rendering. I guess maybe they haven't made it totally compatible with a newish card like mine?
