Adobe is to release a new update for Premiere Pro this week and if you own a GeForce graphics card, you'll be happy. The update brings support for GPU-accelerated encoding using Nvidia's NVEnc encoder, allowing it to export high-resolution videos faster, like five times faster than using a processor for that task. 

The changes also apply to Adobe Media Encoder, After Effects and Audition. Don't get confused, Premiere Pro has had support for Nvidia's CUDA cores for a long time, speeding up video effects and reducing export times. However, this new update optimizes the application to use Nvidia's dedicated GPU encoding hardware, further accelerating performance.

Both Adobe and Nvidia promise great improvements in encoding times with this new update. Nvidia claims that a basic 4K transcoding using an RTX 2060 should take 4 minutes and 45 seconds, as opposed to the 11 minutes and 43 seconds it would take using CPU accelerated encoding on an Intel Core i9-9750H.

The latest Adobe updates also include support for Apple's ProRes RAW format in both Premiere Pro and After Effects, allowing video editors using Windows to import ProRes RAW files without having to transcode . This is also accelerated using Nvidia's CUDA cores.
