•Enable OpenCL technology to speed up video effect preview/render: if your computer supports GPU hardware acceleration, select this option to speed up the rendering of some video effects by tapping into the multi-core parallel processing power of your computer.
Note: to activate hardware acceleration technology during production, select Hardware video encoder in the production preferences section of the produce window before production. If your computer does not support Open CL, the wording on the UI will be replaced with the supported hardware acceleration technology. |
•Enable hardware decoding: if your computer supports hardware decoding, select this option to use hardware acceleration to decode the video during the editing process and when producing video.
Optimization:
•click the Optimize button if you want CyberLink PowerDirector to analyze your computer's GPU, and then optimize the hardware acceleration settings based on its decoding and encoding capabilities. Using this feature could, for example, enable your GPU to use hardware decoding on more than one clip simultaneously, if your GPU supports this feature.
