Just got VMS14 Platinum installed and did a quick render test. Definitely not using my GTX1060 to render to MP4. Is there some obscure setting or VMS14 just doesn't use HA at all?
Nothing obscure.
It depends on your program settings in Options/ Preferences/Video and/or your settings in some rendertemplates.
Thanks, I checked that out and the Encode Mode is not there in that dialog box for me. I did , however, change the settings in Options/Preferences/Video and restarted VMS14. Using GPUZ, the GPU is being used (7%), but the GPU video engine is not (0%). I may reinstall VMS14 but doubt that will help.
I don't have Movie Studio but much (or perhaps even all) of this post for Vegas Pro should also apply to Movie Studio: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/faq-graphics-cards-gpu-acceleration-for-vegas-pro--104614/
Thanks... Checking the Legacy GPU option caused the Encode mode to show up, but unfortunately, VMS14 still doesn't use the GTX1060 video engine (OpenCL or CUDA). Looks like Magix would need to add support for the newer nVidia NVENC. When it comes to rendering, VMS14 is really slow even with my OC i7 4770K.
CUDA GPU rendering only works in MainConcept AVC/AAC and only on GTX 500 series or earlier.
So your saying that Sony/Magix doesn't support any newer GPU technology? Very disappointed in VMS14 rendering so far. Got to be the slowest I've ever used.

Correct, for GPU rendering. However OpenCL on modern cards is supported for "GPU acceleration of video processing". AMD is stronger for OpenCL than Nvidia is.
I won't get into an OpenCL debate. nVidia has their own 'video engine' (NVENC). Unfortunate that VMS14 doesn't support nVidia natively.
