FAQ

1. Why is it necessary to configure the exporter codec settings?

Properly setting the exporter codec can effectively increase video export speed, allowing you to get your final video faster.

2. What are the benefits of using a hardware decoder/encoder?

A hardware decoder / encoder can be used to handle codec tasks via specific hardware like GPU or dedicated encoding chips. This method is faster and more efficient, significantly reducing CPU resource usage, lowering your device's power consumption, and optimizing overall performance.

3. What are the benefits of enabling the CUDA acceleration?

If your computer has an NVIDIA graphics card, you can enable the CUDA acceleration to utilize CUDA technology to speed up video and audio encoding/decoding. This significantly improves processing efficiency during video editing, transcoding, and exporting, while reducing CPU load and saving energy.

4. What is the purpose of configuring player codec settings?

Optimizing the player codec settings enhances the smoothness of video previews, allowing you to review your footage effects more seamlessly during the editing process.

5. What are the benefits of using a hardware decoder for video playback?

Using a hardware decoder can effectively improve video playback smoothness, providing a smoother preview experience.

6. What does the "automatically apply hardware detection results to set codec operations" option mean?

When this feature is enabled (by default), the software automatically detects your computer's hardware configuration. Based on the results, it automatically selects suitable options for both "Exporter Codec" and "Player Codec", making it convenient for you to quickly obtain compatible codec settings.
