Selection of the renderer affects the speed of rendering your project. If the speed of the rendering and/or exporting of your video seems slow, please take a look at the renderer currently used and select the faster one if it is not selected.

• The variety of the renderer in your selection depends on the GPU specification. Therefore, you can only select renderers supported by the GPU specification of your computer.

Here, we present 2 points-
1) How to change the renderer setting in Adobe Premiere Pro and
2) How to change the renderer setting in Adobe Media Encoder .

Please note that when you change the renderer setting of Premiere Pro, that of Media Encoder does not change automatically.

1. How to Change Renderer Setting in Adobe Premiere Pro

a) Click “File” on the tab on the top and direct yourself to “Project Settings” and then “General…”

b) On the pop-up window, you can select a renderer from the “Video Rendering and Playback”.

The higher a renderer is positioned in a selection list, the faster it renders your project. In the photo, “Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Metal)” is the fastest and “Mercury Playback Engine Software Only” is the slowest.

2. How to Change Renderer Setting in Adobe Media Encoder

a) Click “Media Encoder” on the tab on the top and select “Preferences”.

b) On the pop-up window, select “General” from the tab on the left and then select a renderer from “Video Rendering” at the bottom.

The higher a renderer is positioned in a selection list, the faster it renders your project. In the photo, “Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Metal)” is the fastest and “Mercury Playback Engine Software Only” is the slowest.
