Premiere Pro Hardware vs Software Encoding - Quality results
By Gabriel Cooper •
While exporting a Video in Adobe Premiere Pro, there is the option to export a Video with Software or Hardware Accelerated encoder. After i searched a bit about this topic i found that it is pretty unclear if the Hardware Encoding will result in lower quality of the video, also the official site of adobe itself won't give any information on this. My question is, will hardware encoding in premiere pro result in a lower quality as trade for rendering time.

I would recommend asking question on , but yes, quality is definitively inferior (at times unusable) when using hardware encoding.
I am very disappointed as render times are very appealing when using hardware encoding.
FYI, I am using Adobe Premiere 22.4 on macOS Big Sur.
