If optimization threshold is set to Off (zero), on the other hand, the
yellow and green markings that indicate rendering progress are not
displayed; instead, all effects are played back in real time. However, this
can result in reduced playback quality (lost frames, ‘jerky’ playback) if
the number and complexity of effects outstrips the available processing
capacity of the system.
Render while play: When the Automatic setting is used, the application
decides on the basis of system information whether real- time
rendering can be done during playback. If the Off setting is used,
rendering is disabled during playback but resumes when playback is
stopped.
Hardware Acceleration
When activated, this feature shifts part of the processing load from the
CPU to auxiliary hardware, such as the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)
of your graphics card. The level of support for hardware acceleration
depends on the type of CPU and graphics card on your computer.
• Most NVidia cards support the CUDA architecture. When this is
accessible, the GPU is used to assist with H.264 decoding.
• Machines equipped with a recent Intel CPU having the Intel Quick
Sync Video feature can use it for rapid decoding and encoding of
H.264 and H.264 MVC material.
To choose Hardware Acceleration type
