Additional GPU-accelerated encoding enables you to export projects to H.264/AVC in less time. And, you can export Dolby Digital Surround Sound and DCI-compliant JPEG2000 Digital Cinema Packages.

" Q; {; Y" A) J2 G3 ZTotalCode for Adobe Premiere Pro expands the library of codecs and formats supported by Premiere Pro, and it also provides expanded encoding controls for formats already supported. The plug-in suite works seamlessly with Adobe Premiere Pro to support:
7 J0 X! \9 \5 B- AVC-Intra, DVCPRO, VC-3, Ikegami GFCAM, JPEG2000 and MXF OP-1a
- MPEG, DVCPRO and AVC-Intra smart rendering for faster exporting of those formats

Since the native Intel plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro: Adobe Premiere Pro / Premiere Elements Encoder plug-in stopped in development, and does not support the version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, then the plug-in: Rovi TotalCode for Premiere Pro 6.0.3, in Which claims support for hardware acceleration: NVIDIA (CUDA), AMD (OpenCL) and Intel hardware (Intel Quick Sync Video).

When switching to the Advanced Settings tab, you can see functions that are not normally available to GPU codecs. Rovi TotalCode supports high profile (High Profile) for Blu-ray and is equipped with means of recognition of scenes (Enable scene detection). This profile requires flexible separation of each individual image into blocks of different sizes depending on whether the corresponding fragment is filled with dynamic scenes or it is rather a static background.

When using the Intel QSV mode, not only the processor is actively used, but also the amount of RAM, over 600 MB of ordinary mode using only the CPU. So this memory is used by the integrated graphics core Intel HD Graphics 4000, and in case of using faster memory: DDR3-1600 (DDR3-1866 does not support the integrated dual-channel processor memory of the processor), the result of this operation
