Hey Maliek! I use powedirector to make youtube video's of my daughter singing for her channel, I'm a 53 yr old car mechanic, not a video editor but all these tips and tutorials are helping me big time! I really enjoy using the software and l am learning all the time! Thanks man you're a hero 👍👍
Stephen Dray I’m happy my videos are helping you learn the program. Good luck on your daughters channel.
Thanks Maliek! This was something that was NOT set up by default! I needed something as I was all ready to ditch this program, as my workplace asked me to produce a promo video for when we reopen again, And PD for the first real time kept hanging and crashing constantly. Forums were no help, (loads of other people just saying 'me too'. One suggestion was to uninstall GeForce experience.
I'd even downloaded a trial of DaVinci Resolve and was about to learn from scratch how to use that.
Following along with this video, my GPU was running at 1% before the adjustment, so it would make sense that with all the clips I had to use, and High quality photos, it was a lot to expect the CPU to do on its own.
Another great tutorial, perfectly explained again, I bet a LOT of people never knew this one. Appreciated as always.
I'm glad you and others seem to find a lot of value in this tutorial. Yes, many people don't know these steps need to be taken to help get the most out of their GPU. Crazy what the program can do when your PC is setup with the best possible configuration. feel free to link this video to the thread in the forum if you think it will help others.
@@PDU_Tutorials I will indeed. Thanks again.
@@blue_ranger 👍🏾
@ Blue: Where did you work that they would want you to produce a porno video?
@@lordofthewoods Haha. I had to take another look to check for typos and autocorrect, there!
Thanks man. I've been trying to figure out how to do this for years. Just got a new PC with a powerful Nvidia card and was wondering why I hadn't seen much improvement in production speed. It's amazing now with this setting on 👍👍🔥
Dustin Dunnill Glad the video helped you improve your render speed
My experience too!
Tony Wood Awesome!
@Justin Berry He's got some great content.
WOOOO WEEEEE, I didn't know this could be done! Thank you Maliek for sharing this with us. I'm gonna hit that up right now!! Have a great weekend Maliek and HAPPY EASTER!!
You’re welcome. Enjoy your Easter weekend.
Thank you for all your effort in putting these videos together, all of the content that I view that pertains to what my project requires me to do is very helpful. I have been using PD since 2007 when I needed to put together a 30 minute video with pics and video footage. Wish I had your tutorials to review then. Keep it up
Thank you Earl.
Great video Malik ..your material is always nicely paced, clearly presented with good use of arrows etc. to avoid confusion. You are a top man!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you like my work.
Just found this video. I had no idea how much faster I could render a video. Thanks a bunch for putting this one out.
802 Outdoor Adventures Always happy to help. Thanks for watching.
Thanks... been trying to figure this out for weeks
Wow ! Great improvement ! I was not aware of that. Many thanks from a French fellow living in Sevilla Spain !
You’re welcome. France 🇫🇷 looks so wonderful
Malik, thanks! Because of this video I have learned how to use my Nvidia graphics card for the first time since I purchased my computer.
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much. I didn't even know I needed this or that such an option was available. I thought my computer was just crap
Well, I can't tell if your computer is crap or not but I hope this helps. 😄
You make this so much easier to learn. Thank you. 😄
You’re welcome.
THANK YOU

Thank you. Very interesting, had no clue. Again, thank you.
JAMES DUNN 👍🏾
Great share of knowledge! Much appreciated.
Michael Perrett Slways s pleasure
Great tutorial - I thought I'd already got this operating, but following your excellent step by step guide did speed up my production time.
It also sped up the rendering time for sections of a clip on the timeline - which is a great time-saver when there are a lot of effects added.
Thanks - and take care of yourself; DT's certainly not
Glad it helped you out Tony. Have a great week.
My nephew is using an old 4th generation laptop with no visible GPU, an Intel HD 5000 graphics card core i3, he followed this video and now his edits are faster than ever. No lags, great job Maliek
Nev Harrison Comedian You’re welcome.
I remember watching this video a few years ago. As I upgrade with PD, I have to remember to change the path to the app, because it goes from 19, 20, 21 for the folder name. Just a note for anyone who watches this in the future.
👍🏾
Thanks for the good edumacation there Maleik
LOL! You’re welcome.
Tnks dude, you SAVED MY time
You’re welcome.
Thanks again for another of my problems solved.
I love being a problem solver.
Thank you Maliek, thats awesome. Made the changes, now my Gpu is doing like 45-50% and rendering is quicker. Nice one. Have a great day, all the best kieron
Wow, this video is helping so many people out. Glad to see the increase in speed. Have a safe weekend.
hi bro, just to let you know i sent you an email a while back. Dont know if you got it, so sending you it here th-cam.com/video/ykHTo6HT6Q0/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for this! I bought a new laptop (prior laptop was a Toshiba and put in 5+ years of hard work) and was wondering about setting up GPU. Also, I re-bought PowerDirector through your link. If we ever meet, buy me a Kit Kat as a kickback. lol
Will do. Thanks!
Really I am looking for it thanks bro
Welcome
Thanks, man! That's great!
You’re welcome.
@@PDU_Tutorials I've tried the steps, however, it does not seem to use the GPU still :(
I will try restarting and let you know :D

Enabling the GPU Fast Render stuff decreased my render time from 44 minutes to 5 minutes. Thank you Maliek!
Awesome results! Glad to help.
Bam! This!
Thanks you for the info
Any time!
excellent session thank you
PAUL POWER Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
This helps me a lot!! I was wondering why my CPU is always stressed up to 100% every rendering. Thanks.
Happy to help
Perfect thank you
You’re welcome.
Good job.... This also should prevent those unwanted crashes of PowerDirector.
It should reduce the crashes but not sure it will prevent them
Great video Maliek! Thanks for sharing it with us!💖👍👌😎JP

"GPU is putting in work!!" haha thanks!!
It's a very good video! Bravo!
Thank you.
This was great. Thank you for putting this together, as it looks like a lot of tedious work. I am wondering if this setting will allow users to be able to “watch” the rendering in video playback speed without audio like you were able to do with earlier versions of PowerDirector. The most recent versions of PD it seems you only get a jumpy preview while the video is rendering, and I liked being able to view the rendering as a near-final quality check to see if all the elements appear okay.
Thanks. Not sure this will have that type of impact on the preview. Try it out and see what happens.
Thanks!
Ivan S. You’re welcome.
EXCELLENT!
Excellent
Al Rafay Computers Thank you.
I've got a slowish PC and I fitted a GTX1650 card a couple of months ago, hoping it would speed things up. I was disappointed that it only made a marginal contribution. I've just followed your instructions. This morning, before watching your video I had just rendered a 10 min film @1080p, took about 15 mins to complete. I've just rendered it again and reckon it's taken less than half the time. A big thank you from the UK 🤝👏
I'm so happy that this helped you get your render speeds reduced considerably. Hoping this helps many others achieve similar results. Have a great weekend and stay safe.
@@PDU_Tutorials and the same to you and your family. Difficult times for us all. Here in the UK we're in lockdown, with only essential travel permitted. Its wonderful the YT community can still function and thrive though, so keep that wisdom coming!
@@Back2TheBike 👍🏾 Edit #WithMe
Greetings from Germany... and thx m8 ^^
No problem!
Thanks - I was not even aware, that the GPU's performance can be viewed in Task Manager :-).
You’re welcome.
Great video
Thanks!
A HUGE thank you to you! I realized I wasn't even using my GPU in PowerDirector. Now video previews are smoother and rendering is quicker. I see you only checked "Enable hardware decoding." Is there any benefit in checking "Enable OpenCL technology to speed up video effect preview/render" as well? Thanks again!
You're welcome. Glad you saw an improvement. If you have a GPU that supports OpenCL then there is a benefit.
wow - you make it so easy
Thank you.
great video, speed things up
Awesome! You’re welcome.
@@PDU_Tutorials bro, I really learned a lot of power director from your videos, I was also trying to make some TH-cam videos, and I wish you all well.
EVO Support Desk - GMAIL Same to you. Be safe.
Thank you, thank you for this video. Now my expensive Nvidia GPU is working better for me.
Great to hear! 😃
You make this so easy and simple. Thanks! Do you know if the technique of adding programs under the DISPLAY/GRAPHICS tab is recommended for all graphics-oriented programs, e.g. PhotoShop and video games?
Greg G Yep, it will work for any program
Awesome video I'll definitely be trying this! Do you notice a speed difference in production on a 4k video?
Not much.
Impressive. thanks rendering time has roughly been cut by 65%. how did I miss this
What a significant decrease! I'm glad it helped.
good job.
Joseph Valentinetti Thank you.
Not sure if i'm doing something wrong i did all you stated and my number didn't change. I don't have that option in H.264 AVC but have that option in H.265 HEVC im running PD 365 subscription. My utilization may go to 23% but mostly stays down 10-12%
Won't work with H.265 HEVC. Not sure why you only have the H.264 / AVC option. th-cam.com/video/dFgxMwe5lRk/w-d-xo.html
If you don't have that option go to the PowerDirector Users group on Facebook and create a post with a screen shot of your Produce page on the Standard 2D tab. Ask for help getting the H.264/AVC option to show up. Make sure you provide the version of the software you're using.
wow!!!tnx mucho!!!
You’re welcome mucho.
Im using PD17 and an RTX 2060. It will use the GPU for rendering a video but doesnt let me select quick video rendering technology and doesnt show up as the gpu for my fx. Also in my Nvidia settings it wont allow me to put it as anything other than Intel HD for powerdirector. Is that because my power director version doesnt support the rtx 2060 fully?
I doubt it. Did you follow the steps in the video? If so, what profile you are producing to (H.265 , H.264, etc.)? As you can see in the comments this has worked for many users so it is likely to be something on your end.
Will this setting make the video output more faster ??~ or just make a free ustilize from CPU so that i can do other things when output video in my computer ??
It could do both depending on your GPU. Since your GPU is doing the work and not competing for resources it could make the process faster.
Thank you for the tutorial. It helps during edits as GPU is used, but fast rendering is still greyed out (and GPU usage is at 4% during rendering). I choose H264 as the codec, and I have a laptop with a 2070M (with Optimus I think). Do you have an idea why and how to fix it ?
Do you have an internal Nvidia GPU or external Nvidia GPU? If it is internal then I'm not sure why it isn't working.
Hey brother great video stay safe. covid 19 got us home so please make more PD videos lmao
I'll keep making them every week. Stay safe.
How do I change the max bitrate setting when I create a custom profile? I have a video that's 152000 and custom profile only allows 128000 max. Please help.
I can confirm this also works for PD-14. Fast video rendering technology option was not checked, but utilization was GPU-38%, CPU-56% for the 720p sample video I made. This was coming from GPU-0%, CPU-100%.
Thanks for the confirmation
THanks as always for all your work. I notice an option "Enable NVIDIA CUDA technology to speed up video effect preview/render" I presume that should be checked as well? thank again
If you GPU has CUDA and you want to speed up the preview when you adds effects to your videos then I would enable it. Not sure if it will increase the render speed but in theory it should.
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial. Now my PD can use Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ti for editing and rendering. Editing with effects feels smoother with Nvidia. Also, rendering HEVC h.265 mp4 is much faster than the integrated AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 gpu of Ryzen 7 4800H (mp4 1080p 30fps 48-minute video with 3D effects: rendered in about 50 minutes with Radeon, but about 30 minutes with GTX 1650 Ti).
Glad I could help!
Hi Maliek - couple of things - I went to program files scrolled down and I only have a PD file not a PD.exe file - am I missing something in Power Director - also I tried all your recommendations, but it was only operating at 10% - I do have Fast Rendering Technology and Hardware Video Encoder highlighted - what do you think ? Best Wishes Robert.
Is it a PDR file or a PD file? Make sure you are able to see file extensions on your machine. fileinfo.com/help/windows_10_show_file_extensions
Are you suing an internal or external GPU? Are you trying to render to the H.264 codec or something else?
Do you know of a program to convert the format of video files that I can purchase in one payment (as opposed to renting).
The conversion programs that are offered for free on the web cannot support the larger files that I handle.
So they are useless to me.
The free program Handbrake is what I use. I'm not aware of any others that you can buy.
Does this pd already uses multiGPU?
Or is it still stuck in single gpu even if you have 2 or more like the tread I read in 2014?
It will only use one. You can select which one you want to use. forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/85823.page#355385
Great video .. is the GPU used during video editing, adding effects, previewing etc? That seems to slow down a lot as you add more effects. So, this part is dependent on CPU and RAM then? Please clarify as that would be great to unnderstand if I need a RAM upgrade or CPU upgrade. Thanks a bunch, MR. GURU of PD!
You need more RAM and a faster processor. Your systems RAM modules help your processor work more efficiently. The more room the processor has to store data in that temporary memory, the more things your computer can do at once (more effects, preview video, etc.).
@@PDU_Tutorials Cool, thanks Guru. In ur experience how much RAM does PD need? Is 16GB not enough? May be I should double it
Cheers.
@@melodychest9020 There is no definitive answer for that. It depends on several factors. I would guess that if you have a good processor 32gb should be enough. I always go for overkill if I can afford it.
Hi Maliek. I followed the steps described in your tutorial in my laptop which has an intergrated intel graphics card and an nvidia geforce gtx 960m card. Nvdia still doent work and now i cant even use intel quick sync video now. Cpu goes to 100%.what im doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your responce
If it isn't working change it back. If you are following the steps in the video then you're not doing anything wrong.
We Really appreciate this great effort, but I wonder if you may show us how to downdload and use AUDIO SPECTRUM on Power Director?🤔 Is there an option in PD to add audio spectra?
No option that I know of.
Been following you for as long as i have PD365...however I encountered issue with the software where my GPU Nvidia 1650Ti is not being utilised at all. More over Nvidia Control panel also does not allow PD365 to change performance settings. The steps mentioned here are correct but still i am not able to change settings to performance due to which my Rendertime is horrific. I like the software but i am stuck with my all projects. Any help ?
Sorry, if you're following the video I don't have any other solutions. Try asking for help on the forum. The link is on my channel under the About section
Hello sir, A huge fan of u.... The way you teach us it's amazing. I've a question plzzz not related with this video. What is difference Chroma Key in A.Premier and Power Director? Both same working?
They do the same thing.
Nice! vid keep up the good work. One question, sometimes when I render and upload to TH-cam the video is just black and doesn’t upload.
Thank you. That's probably an issue with TH-cam. Try producing to a mp4 video on you desktop and see if the video is black or not.
PowerDirector University thanks for the reply!! I’ll try that next time.

Thanks Maliek you,ve just scored another great goal. You are the Lionel Messi of PD. I don't know if you will work that one out? lol

Not sure. You can always try it out and see if it works. :-)
@@PDU_Tutorials Yes, it works. Thanks.
StevesBoston Great
Hello Maliek, .In PD 18 I am not given the option to choose which video rendering I can use. It only has SVRT and Intel Quick Sync. Do you know how I can go about enable this function so that my NVIDIA becomes an option? thanks
If you have a graphics card with Nvidia GPU follow the steps in the video and the option should show up for you. I discuss this in the video.
I cant select classic app - instead it shows "desktop app". Is that fine too ? thanks for letting me know
Windows probably changed it so I guess it's ok.
Hi Maliek, could it be that the GPU acceleration only works with H.264 but not with H.265 input files? Regards
Simply Roman Not sure about imported files but in PD if you Produce to certain codecs such as H.265 or AVI you can’t use fast video rendering
Would an egpu would k also (external GPU)
I don't think this works with external GPUs
Was thinking of upgrading my GTX 1060 6GB .....BUT .. PowerDirector seems to be hardly using much of the GPU at all!
In rendering a 5 min 1080p video with a couple of effects the usage of the GPU core is only 10% and the GPU video engine on average is about 25% .. that's it!
It is ALL CPU which keeps going fulltime at 95-98% throughout the rendering. My hardware acceleration shows up as nVidia CUDA so no problem there and I got all settings ok.
Some GPU is being used obviously but not enough to warrant a high end card beyond what I got.
Wondering if it this generally the case or do you need to be working with 4K and a lot of effects for the GPU to kick in much more?
In any case, seems pointless for the 1080p platform which is what is the most common out there right now.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
I think the best way to solve to your issue would be to post a new thread in the PowerDirector forum. forum.cyberlink.com/forum/forums/list.page Make sure you provide your program version, and a DXDiag file of your PC specs. If you can share your project on Google Drive that would be helpful as as well. There are other discussions around this on the forum so I'm sure we can help you there. forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/86345.page#357490
Hi. Does it also work with the trial powerdirector 365? I have a 3080ti and I can't use my gpu. It's a desktop.
Not sure. I have never had the trial version
rheres any different in term of video quality? if i used GPU? Just a Little or same
Same
Great Video as always, my question is. Which is better in PD. GPU or CPU? Let's say both high ends.
And on CPU, which is better to use, AMD or Intel. On Premier Pro, Intel is optimized so no Go for AMD threadripper. But I like PD more than Premiere pro, I just hate that my client's are always asking for premier pro. TIA
I don't think any is better. I think they all have pros and cons. It is up to each user to determine which is best for him/her. Why does your client want Premiere Pro? Do they see your showreel? If so, they would (and should) be hiring you based on your work not what program you use. They should want what you're able to deliver. Once after a client viewed my showreel he asked, "Do you use Premiere or Media Composer?" I asked him "Were you impressed by my showreel?" He said "It was awesome." I asked him "If I can meet or exceed your expectations based on what you saw in my showreel would it matter what program I use?" He said "No." I said "I'm going to use the program that will allow me to meet or exceed your expectations." That was the end of that conversation.
finally it work!

What should i do if the option in PowerDirector is greyed out and i cant click on it? I know that i was able using it years ago. Currently using Powerdirector14. I also have 2 Graphicscard in SLI
Not sure. Could be your system, could be the file type you’re trying to produce to, etc.
One of the most important videos regarding Power Director. Does this work on other versions of Power Director?
Yes
There is a problem if we have integrated as well as dedicated graphics.
My laptop only chooses integrated intel graphics over my dedicated AMD Graphics for some reason.
If you are trying to switch to the card you prefer you can read this thread from the PowerDirector forum. forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/80955.page#333050
@@PDU_Tutorials This will never work with a laptop unless you buy one of the $4,000 mobile desktops that do not possess an integrated GPU. The issue stems from the way power director is coded and how it "sees" video cards. Laptops no matter how fancy are designed to have the GPU piggybaack off the integrated GPU which power director is unable to see past. Quite simply power director cannot be made to see 2 GPU's it picks the one that is universal which is the integrated GPU.
@@OffTheShelfBoardGameReviews ✅
@@PDU_Tutorials So does that mean that powerdirector on a laptop can't use hardware acceleration?
@@Tankc4 If it has integrated GPU you may have to do some work within the registry to change things u and that's not my expertise.

Hi!!, I'm very grateful for all your videos, Using your tricks and teachings to use my PD and create my channel for adventures with my wife. I've been getting better thanks to you. On the Nvidia Topic, I have a 1060 6GB and I do show the Hardware encoding option and I did all the steps, but when I check on my task manager, I still see that my i7 is doing all the work, 92 to 100% load and the Nvidia Card just 3 to 5%..

@@PDU_Tutorials Didn't work I'm afraid Malie! Win7 only has Dxdiag.exe show what you have, now HOW it performs! Dm anyway, I have hardware suport and it does render very fast. I just didn't USE it as I thought it did quicker, but lesser QUALITY video output, so I have just been using my CPU to render!

Thanks Maliek! This has really improved speed! I did notice that 'Hardware Video Decoder' doesn't show up on my PC. (SurfaceBook 2). It has 'Intel Quick Sync Video'. I have been running it with the SVRT selected and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX10 GPU seems to spike to 100%. Whereas before it didn't, so I'm thinking it's working. Under preferences I have ticked ENABLE HARDWARE DECODING, I also have the option ENABLE OPEN CL TECHNOLOGY, what does this do and should it be ticked? Really appreciate all your effort with these tutorials!
This article should explain it and some other things as well. www.cyberlink.com/support/faq-content.do?id=12777
@@PDU_Tutorials thanks mate. Amazing how you take the time to reply to everyone. You're a legend. Thanks
Angus Knight You’re welcome.
I still couldn't get this to work and eventually contacted Cyberlink Support. They gave a couple of helpful hints, one of which was that Fast Video Rendering Technology is NOT used when you select AVI as the output format. When I checked that and switched output format then it worked okay.
YEs, there are multiple codecs that can't use it. AVI, H.265, etc.
I have a question about PowerDirector 9. I'm getting a black screen during playback in the timeline. Have you heard of this and
do you have a solution. I'm using windows 10.
No I have not. Might be due to the older version of the program and compatibility with Windows 10. The only thing I can think of is updating your graphics card drivers.
@@PDU_Tutorials Thanks
@@Frankyouknow You’re welcome.
Been using Power Director for several years. Currently still using 16. Bought a new PC with an I7 10th gen proc. 16G Ram and has an Nvidia GT1030 card. I watched this video over and over and followed your instructions to a T and cannot get PD16 to utilize the Nvidia GPU. Render times are not great. Bought PD19 and figured I was good but nope. Crashes constantly so went back to PD16. Tried also to change the Nvidia control panel settings to have PD16 only use the Nvidia GPU and it still chooses the onboard Intel GPU. Frustrated as heck. Thank you so much for your tutorials though, you have helped me countless times. Followed the link below to the forum but can't understand why my Same brand laptop with the same version PD16 and same brand GPU DOES use the Nvidia GPU and it is 10 times faster with a slower processor and specs. Thinking the GT1030 is weak and I hope if I grab a better GPU then PD will use it.
So many different factors to take into account when trying to get the GPU to be enabled. Wish I was more of a computer guru and I might be able to help you out. The forum is your best bet at getting some answers. Don't give up on those guys as some of them are true computer gurus who might have the answer.
@@PDU_Tutorials Thank you anyway sir! It seems that PD decides the the best option and since my external GPU is rather poor, PD chooses the onboard GPU. The forum has helped a lot to understand PD better.

i'm using my legion y740 with RTX 2060 GPU and i did all the steps you said and still am seeing intel quicksync option instead of hardware encoding and the cpu is doing all the work... I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.
Alex Thorn If you followed all my steps you aren’t doing anything wrong. You may need to take additional steps that I’m not aware of. You can ask for help in the PowerDirector Forum.
@@PDU_Tutorials I got it. Another video from another creator also said to mark the Gpu Activity ex to high performance and now the hardware option pops up to render.
Alex Thorn 👍🏾
For some reason that's not working for me. In either case with Powerdirector 365 it uses the CPU more than the standard display adapter or the NVIDA GPU. When trying to setup for hardware acceleration I can not select it when producing video. Hp Pavilion I7 with Intel UHD Graphics 620 and NVIDEO MX150...
Not sure why it isn't working. You should reach out to CyberLink for support. www.cyberlink.com/support/index.html?scrollTo=contactUsSection
Thanks for the pro tip, however after following all the steps hardware acceleration does not show up on the produce page. Using NVIDA GeForce Mx150, shows gpu running at 0% while rendering
Are you on a laptop? Are you using an external GPU? Have you tried updating the additional settings that others changed (see the comments)?
@@PDU_Tutorials yes laptop, no internal gpu. But I read online that the Mx150 does not have a built in decoder? Would it be beneficial to buy an external GPU for the laptop? I have usbc connection so should work?
@@paulsasianadventure8050 External GPU won’t work that’s why I asked if you had one. I also found that laptops are difficult. There are some comments below of people with laptops who enabled additional settings. You can scrub the comments and see if you can find them so you can try what they did.
@@PDU_Tutorials thank you for the prompt reply, I will try a few more things, it's really only 4k it struggles with.

I had this all set up with PD 19. I upgraded to PD 20. Now the PD.exe file is gone. I can't figure out how to get power director to use my Invidia Graphics card.... HELP!!!
Not sure what to do if the option isn’t there, You should reach out to CyberLink.
