Hello,
I saw that the new version of Final Cut Pro X supports GPU-accelerated export, but I'm curious about what export option actually uses GPU acceleration (like Share to Apple devices, DVD, h.264, ProRes...) and what video cards are actually supported.
I can't see any options to activate/deactivate this (for benchmarking purposes).
Has anyone seen a performance boost?
Final Cut Pro X, Mac OS X (10.7.1), Final Cut Pro X 10.0.1
Me, too!
It's the Export command (Cmd+E) that uses it, and you can't turn it on or off, it's just on. I know what my system does for a standard export, and after the upgrade is almost twice as fast. A complex 3 minute project I know takes a good full minute to export now takes just under 30 seconds. It's extremely noticable. But you can't turn it on/off.
Thanks, BenB. I found that, as well, after fiddling around this morning. Definitely seems to be faster. I'd love to see some real-world comparisons at some point.
Thank you BenB.
Do you know if the gpu acceleration works for every export option under the Export command (ProRes.., DVCPRO, h.264) or just only h.264 (or ProRes, or another)?
