I pick up the Studio 12 Platinum a week ago, I was surprise to see that on the GPU Sony has the NVIDIA or AMD GPU, but not the support for the Intel Quick Sync on the Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge. Come on Sony some of your competitors has it.
Intel Quick Sync is in Platinum 12. Its in the Render As, Customs Settings, video tab , in the Encode mode:
It gives you Five choices : Automatic (recommended) - CPU only - GPU if available.
Intel Quick Sync (quality) - Intel Quick Sync (speed)
I look at where you said and don't see the option for the for Intel Quick Sync. I do have a i5 Sandy Bridge that has the build in. Do you have ti have the IVY bridge for it? I know I can ise the quick sync with PD 10.
I have Movie Studio Platinum 12 build 334 64 bit installed.
