Or you can just use an NLE that supports AMD Decode/Encode Acceleration. Those actually exist in the consumer market... so I'm not sure why anyone would waste years asking for it, or being frustrated by the lack of it, in any particularly piece of software...1jhill wrote:I see, that makes more sense.

Supposedly the new 20 series of cards have a better encoder for Nvidia than previous 10 series, I know AMD encoder isn’t supposed to be as good but no one knows what will be in Navi and it’s supposed to be AMD’s first true attempt at regaining some market share.
Yes those NLE’s exist but the one I saw that had it for sure (cyberlink) didn’t have the same plugin package I wanted.iNate wrote:Or you can just use an NLE that supports AMD Decode/Encode Acceleration.

You should always configure the machine you're buying or building based on the software you plan to run on it.
You don't build a computer to run Premiere Pro [for example] with a Ryzen CPU and AMD Graphics. You get Intel with Nvidia. Same for any other piece of software. Yes, the suboptimal components will "work," but they are "suboptimal."
At the end of the day, Hardware Encoding is underrated, anyways. It's going to degrade quality on already low quality 8-Bit H.264/HEVC, in most cases. And then you will lose more quality when you upload to sites like YouTube. Render while you're at lunch, or something
Pinnacle and VS are entirely different pieces of software and do not use the same engine. While they might share some features, that's about as far as it goes under the "hood". They also edit much differently.1jhill wrote:Yes those NLE’s exist but the one I saw that had it for sure (cyberlink) didn’t have the same plugin package I wanted.iNate wrote:Or you can just use an NLE that supports AMD Decode/Encode Acceleration.

Building a pc for specific use at consumer level is not realistic in the least unless your gonna tell people to build one pc for gaming or even gaming while streaming which AMD cpu currently do better and depending on game AMD GPU can do better when price is a factor, and then another pc for video editing oh and then also do some light CAD work so there is another PC. Consumer level PC are built for general use, hence why consumer software should be designed for general hardware first in my opinion.
I’ve heard the claims of hardware encode quality issues but then asked the community (using pinnacle but I’m assuming same engine as VSP as they appear to be similar) and while the intel was noticeable worse the Nvidia CUDA showed no difference if not even better with same render settings and user reported noticeable improved render times.
At the end of the day it’s not the end of the world but as the title states “wishlist” so that’s something I would prefer is to have the ability for the software to support all hardware options and not have the software support as a consideration when buying hardware. May not sway my final decision when buying but it would be nice not to be a concern.

(I realize I can let the computer sit there for long periods of time to render out a bunch of smart proxy files, but smart proxy hogs CPU and I can't do other CPU-intensive things like play games while it's doing that.)
