WHY CAN'T I RENDER USING RX 480 IN PREMIERE PRO CC 2017?

[TheVideosChannel]

Helolo!

I have been trying to render using the Mercury Renderer OpenCL but for some odd reason the option to choose something is greyed out.

It has selected Software Only but I want to use my RX 480 8GB to render....what do i do?

 

P.S. I can select GPU in Media Encoder though....

Are you using latest GPU drivers? any old drivers still on your PC?

Alright, turn off OpenCL on Media Encoder and try it again on Premiere Pro.

Oh shoot! Now I cannot select OpenCL in Media encoder either! It was working just a minute ago.

aha....I found that for Media Encoder to enable GPU accel I have to open Premiere Pro and leave that open and then open Media Encoder. If I open Media encoder alone it does not enable...and if I open media encoder and then premiere it does not open enable either.

ooooo more wired stuff. I have to open premiere pro, then open media and media enables GPU.

Then close and re open premiere and leave media open and now premiere also enables GPU.

Wierd???

That's very odd. Try uninstalling Media Encoder, and only try Premiere Pro.

Hmm...now that I did all that I closed Media and Premiere and re-started my PC and now premiere is working with my GPU just fine by itself.
