5.If your computer supports hardware acceleration and you are outputting in a file format that supports it (H.264 and MPEG-4), select the Enable GPU hardware video encoder automatically option if you want CyberLink PowerDirector to use it, when available, during the batch production.
Note: on computers that have more than one GPU, CyberLink PowerDirector allows you to perform GPU switching by selecting the preferred GPU from a drop-down when enabling hardware encoding. This is ideal for users that are running PowerDirector on laptops that have both an integrated and discrete GPU. |
6.Click Start to begin the production of all the tasks in the list.
Note: select the Shut down computer after production option to have CyberLink PowerDirector shut down the program and your computer once all the tasks are produced. |
