One of the benefits of using Adobe Premiere Pro is the Mercury Playback Engine. You can just hit the ground running and edit almost any format. What makes it so powerful? In this video, author Jeff Greenberg discusses a few of the things that make the Mercury Playback Engine so powerful in Premiere Pro.
- Adobe's Mercury Playback Engine…is more than a great marketing term.…It happens to be the name of the technologies…Adobe created into Premiere 5 and 5.5…to kind of leverage your computer's GPU and CPU and RAM…to get better performance with difficult material.…It can be almost a transcodeless workflow…if your system is strong enough.…To see that information here, under the file menu,…when I go to my project settings, under general,…you'll see the same window when we started up a project,…and you can see the words up here under rendered,…the Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration,…and it's currently set on my system to CUDA.…
