Specifications

 
Please note that the current version of Elemental Accelerator is compatible with Premiere Pro CS4 only. At this time, there are no plans to develop a plug-in for Adobe Creative Suite 5. However, with the Mercury Playback Engine (MPE) now available in Premiere Pro CS5, it's possible to achieve significant performance improvements in rendering and encoding using select graphics cards from Nvidia. For more information about GPU-accelerated video processing in CS5, please visit the Nvidia website or the Adobe website.
