As a final benchmark I will use Adobe Premiere Pro 2020 (v. 14). For this I used one of my YouTube videos as a template for the HEVC codec and run the encoding via the plugin Voukoder R2, depending on the graphics card, via NvEnc or AMF with the highest quality setting. The video uploaded here was rendered e.g. with NvEnc on a RTX Titan.
The time can be compared in numbers, but unfortunately the output quality cannot. The render time of the Quadro RTX 4000, which is 27 seconds longer, for example, deceives us into thinking that a significantly higher image quality is achieved here. The clips encoded with AMF are clearly to visibly worse even in the highest settings. Nevertheless, a comparison of the respective manufacturers among themselves is worthwhile. The encoder of the RTX cards acts a bit slower than Pascal, but offers the better results. Of course the quality could be reduced drastically, so that the RTX cards would be faster again.
Next, we’ll test the hardware-accelerated video playback with Premiere Pro’s Mercury Playback Machine. This 4K sequence represents the usual intro sequences common in online video production and uses generated audio with accelerated effects to create a lively opening sequence. The sequence consists of two video layers and a title graphic layer. The effects applied include lens distortion, Gaussian blur, mosaic, finding edges and video transformations (rotation).
The goal is to achieve 24 FPS for a smooth preview and not to drop single frames. This is where all AMD cards fail, because the number of frames dropped is sometimes dramatically high. If you go for AMD, Adobe Premiere Pro 2020 is a rather bad choice, especially since the Radeon Pro WX8200 had such huge memory errors that the program hung up completely.
I am now encoding a fully processed music video sequence using the CPU and hardware accelerated filters, scaled to 4K. The video uses the customization layers of Premiere Pro 2020 to define the final “grunge” look of the project. The effects used in the project include: Video scaling, luma curve adjustment, fast blur, noise, hue, RGB curves, black and white effect, and image mixing and video overlay.
But it can be even more demanding if you let the processing run simultaneously. This final sequence shows the simultaneous processing of three 1080p subsequences within a common 4K timeline. Three separate sub-sequences are used, whereby one sequence is duplicated into one quadrant. All effects for the subsequences are then rendered within the common master timeline.
