Full Article: https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/art...
Premiere Pro has supported H.264/H.265 hardware encoding for a long time, but it was limited to Intel CPUs that supported Quicksync. In the new 14.2 version, Adobe has added GPU-based hardware encoding that supports most modern GPUs from both NVIDIA and AMD.
Exactly how much faster this new hardware encoding is over software varies based on your system hardware, source media, and export setting. However, we saw on average around a 2x improvement in export times, but in some cases, it was more than 5x faster with only a minimal difference in video quality.
