GPU support for Videopad - Intel Quick Sync, CUDA and etc.

[smartik]

Hi anyone!

I've just intalled Videopad Editor on my PC - Intel Core i5 with internal Intel HD4000 graphics. I've read many reviews in which people says that Videopad is fast. But I can't repeat it after this people. My PC is think for a long time for simple things like adding videos and etc. And I run GPU-Z program which is show 0 % of GPU load of my HD4000 graphics.

Is any Intel Quick Sync technology support of VideoPad?

Many other video editing software have hardware acceleration support, even freeware.

VP has Hardware Acceleration support, and there is promise for further improvement.  Look under OPTIONS|EDITING for the on/off toggle.

What format and resolution files and what VP version are being used?

I add and edit just only 720p (not even fullHD), just 60 seconds. And PC freeze for 2-5 seconds when editing. (core i5 4 cores, 4GB of RAM, SSD hard drive)

Option "Use video effects with hardware acceleration (needs SM 2.0)" in "Editing" tab of " Settings" is enabled. So I guess that hardware acc-n is used only for "effects" and may be for decoding when exporting Project. 

Do I import wrong format of video? But it raw material from Youtube, which I need to use in my clips.

4GB ram is marginal for video editing, which is resource intensive.

Please upload the :60 project and share it.  Someone will check it out.  It takes but a few minutes.

Here's how...  http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/23659-tips-for-getting-help-on-this-forum/

If it contains sensitive material you can link it in a personal message (PM) to me, via the envelope above.  Be sure to FILE|SAVE PORTABLE PROJECT AS, not simply SAVE PROJECT, and don't forget to share it.

Hi,

Currently VideoPad uses GPU to compute effects and transitions.

We are working on also using GPU for encoding and decoding as well as format conversion. Entire video processing will then runs on the GPU if suitable.

Reviced hardware pipeline expect to be released early next year.
