The question is how to integrate this into os x or the NLE's. And how to separate GPL from proprietary code. On windows I am doing this with the COM interface/protocol but there is no such thing on mac os (AFAIK).
Erk. OK, that's a bit beyond my knowledge.
Hey Vouk -
I just recently got myself a new 2019 Mac Pro here at home. It's got the Vega II GPU, which has a hardware VCE on it, if I'm not mistaken. I'd love to help you get this ported over to MacOS properly, if you're game. I'm not all that good with code; my Comp Sci degree has long since gone to waste. But I can keep trying and provide a solid platform for builds, etc.
If you're interested, that is. 
I didn't manage to run the test all the way through. I started it up, saw that the estimated time went up to somewhere around 1.5t and let it go for a minute or two, then killed it. In other words: it's slower than 1.1.3, but a little faster than 2.2.0.
Did you try the VRPT tool on the project? Does that finish faster or slower than 1.1.3?
I'll try that once I get home from work later today and report back. What confuses me a bit is why running it through 1.1.3 is so much quicker if it's a vRender issue? Wouldn't that affect both versions of the plugin?
Hey gang -
I have both 2.2.0 and 1.1.3 installed with Premiere, and I'm attempting to export a 25Mbit/sec 4K/59.94 video that's about 8 or 9 minutes long. I'm doing so with the HEVC hardware encoder on my 2080Ti card. When I use the older 1.1.3 plugin, it takes about the amount of time I'd expect; if the video is time t, the encoding/exporting is about time t. But with 2.2.0, when I hit the export button, it takes upwards of 2t if not longer.

I usually cancel it out, which is why it doesn't run that long. It feels like it's trying to do a 2-pass for some reason, but I don't see that option anywhere in the plugin menus.
I'm sure I'm doing something stupid here; any guess as to what it is?
Thanks!
You can disable pre compiled headers and remove that files.
That only got me to the next round of errors: it's looking for the SDK_xxx files as inputs (headers and C++ files). Nowhere to be found.
Working on that right now. Not really easy to get everything set up in Xcode.
Let me know if I can help as a guinea pig. I'm not much of a programmer so I can't help with the code. But I can build it w/XCode and test stuff out.
I've been trying so far and failing because it can't find the file SDK_Exporter_Prefix.pch. Is that something that's supposed to be built before hand? Or was it supposed to be included with the source?
