Until now, this feature was available only to computers running the Mac operating system, which the collaboration between AMD and Adobe is intended to change for the upcoming version of Premiere Pro. In the current version, GPU acceleration of the Mercury Playback Engine, which forms the basis of Premiere Pro, is still performed with Cuda under Windows.

OpenCL is expected to accelerate the performance of AMD graphics processors with the new Premiere Pro release. According to AMD, this performance increase, which is intended to enable real-time editing, compositing and colour grading, applies to FirePro and Radeon graphics cards as well as A-Series APU graphics technology.
