Enable or disable hardware acceleration

Movavi programs support NVIDIA hardware acceleration (NVENC) for video encoding on compatible graphics cards.

If NVIDIA acceleration isn’t available or doesn’t work as expected, the cause is usually related to your graphics driver, GPU compatibility, or program version.
What you need to know
NVIDIA provides hardware encoding through NVENC, which is available on supported NVIDIA graphics cards.
Hardware acceleration depends on:
  • your NVIDIA GPU model
  • your installed driver version
  • the Movavi program version

Older encoding technologies are no longer supported in current Movavi products.
If NVIDIA acceleration is not available
If NVIDIA acceleration does not appear in the program settings:
  1. Make sure your graphics card supports NVENC.
  2. Install the latest available NVIDIA driver from the official NVIDIA website.
  3. Restart your computer.
  4. Open the program and check the Acceleration settings again.
How to enable NVIDIA hardware acceleration
  1. Open the Movavi program
  2. Go to Settings → Preferences → Acceleration
  3. Enable NVIDIA hardware acceleration (if available)
  4. Apply the changes
  5. Restart the program

If the option does not appear, your GPU or driver may not support NVENC.
Important notes
  • Installing outdated drivers is not recommended.
  • Not all NVIDIA graphics cards support hardware encoding.
  • Some laptop systems may require manual GPU selection in Windows graphics settings.
  • If acceleration causes instability, disable it and test again.
When to contact Movavi Customer Service
Contact Movavi Customer Service if:
  • NVIDIA acceleration does not appear despite using a supported GPU
  • the program crashes when acceleration is enabled
  • export fails only when NVIDIA acceleration is active

Include:
  • your NVIDIA GPU model
  • your driver version
  • the Movavi program version
  • log files (if requested)
