Hardware encoder usage results in black screen

Help/How To
1

I’m on Linux and trying to render a simple video with hardware acceleration. I’m running KDE and my GPU is an MX150 but it still makes a huge difference in render time. However after the render is done the video ends up being just a black screen. I just chose H.264 Main Profile and then in Advanced changed the FPS to 30.

Here are my settings - https://imgur.com/a/OcidT7o

And here is the final output log after the render is “finished”

And the video size is only 18MB.

Meanwhile another video without the hardware encoder ended up fine, but rendering it took over 20 minutes. Is there any way to get the hardware encoder to work?

Also I tried opening the exported video in Shotcut and it was a white screen instead of a black screen and the video tab in properties wouldn’t open.

EDIT: I’ve now discovered that hardware acceleration at least works in Windows, but only with h264_qsv and hevc_qsv, other configurations only seemed to produce the same black screen as back in Linux. I’ll report back later to see if different configs in Linux fix it too.

EDIT 2: I’ve tried every possible combination of hardware encoder settings in Linux and noticed that vaapi does not work at all - it fails every time, while nvenc at least renders, but afterwards the video itself is missing.

EDIT 3: I think I’m on to something. Right now I have both h264_nvenc and hevc_nvenc checked for the hardware encoder, but I manually changed the codec to libx264 and this time it worked! I don’t know why, but when Shotcut was automatically selecting the codecs h264_nvenc and hevc_nvenc, the video never worked, but now it seems to do the trick with libx264.

You are not using a build provided by us, or if you are then you are launching it wrong.

This error message speaks for itself. Try reading it and installing NVENC. You need to install the binary driver from Nvidia or lookup distribution-specific instructions.

Because it is not using hardware encoding or NVENC.

EDIT: Ignore the original it was my mistake

But then again I’m sure that hardware acceleration must be working, because there’s a huge difference in render time between using only my integrated Intel GPU and using my Nvidia GPU as well. Or am I mistaking hardware encoding for hardware acceleration?

Hello,

I use an RTX 2080 on windows 10, also using HEVC(hevc_nvenc) for encoding. It’s the fastest out of all of them in windows 10. It also seems to use less cpu usuage. I’m not sure how it is on linux, as I haven’t tried yet. In windows I use windows task manager > Performance> GPU and it shows me it’s using the video encoding. I’m not sure how you can check on linux though. Hope this helps.

I had this exact same issue but a driver update fixed it for me.
