Hi guys and welcome to Neat Video
tutorials! This is going to be a very quick video about our Performance
Optimizer Tool and you will love what you're going to learn today. Let's dive
right into it. This is the window of Neat Video’s optimizer tool which controls how Neat Video is using your resources. Now I’ll show you where you can find it.
Go to TOOLS > Preferences > Performance. Here you can see three different modes: CPU only, which is the default; GPU only and CPU+GPU. Now lets check the speed you can get with these settings. Click this button. All right. In the CPU only mode working on 4k clip my computer can get 8.1 frames per second. Now the most interesting part: Click Optimize Settings, Start. And Neat Video has started checking what the best combination of hardware is for this specific clip and filter settings.
In my case it’s CPU and GPU, this will give me 12.2 frames per second. That’s
much better than 8.1 that I had with CPU only. Now I need to
Accept the Best Combination. Cool. This slider is showing how much of GPU memory Neat Video is allowed to use. We generally recommend to only change these settings if you are getting GPU errors during render or looking to extract every drop of performance from your hardware. The green triangle is showing the optimum amount of memory required for best performance on videos with
the current frame size. The red bar on the right shows how much memory is used
by the operating system, video editing software and other programs, so don’t go here.
If you are experiencing GPU-related problems during render, you may want to
move the memory slider to the left of the green triangle, especially if it’s
currently in the red area. Neat Video’s speed may decrease when you do it, but
the drop in speed may not necessarily be noticeable with some filter settings. You
can check the impact directly by clicking ‘Check speed’ here.
If you go higher than the green triangle, Neat Video will actually not use more
GPU memory with the current frame size and its speed will not increase. However,
if you switch to a video with larger frames, then the green triangle will move
to the right and the higher limit will help Neat Video work faster. In any case
keep the slider out of the red zone. Otherwise your video editing application
or the whole system may slow down or become less stable. And that’s all done! Guys remember doing this every time you switch between video formats (for example, from 1080p to 4K), change temporal radius or Neat Video quality settings, upgrade hardware. All those factors affect the speed of individual devices differently, thus the balance may change. If you like this video, please subscribe to our channel and give this video thumbs up! We’ll be back with new videos soon! And that’s it.
