There's a very good chance that your computer already supports  hardware-accelerated video encoding. Question is, what kind of  performance impact does it have?

Encode Video Faster with Hardware Acceleration (That You Probably Already Have)!

I am always surprised how you made tech accessible for people who do not know a lot about it! And I’m also always surprised by the quality of your videos. The script, the angles, the plans everything is very well made and feels very professional. Oh, and nice t-shirt 😁

My upstream is pretty bad (1.5 mbps on a good day), so I always run videos through Handbrake after exporting them from FCP. I have *no* idea that hardware acceleration was available! Experimenting with VideoToolbox on Mac now... seeing some huge performance increases (Hitting about 250 FPS). Export options are a bit limited but I think it will be worth it. Thanks for this one... I'll bet it will save me a lot of time!

Quick Sync is really the secret behind how Final Cut is so much faster than other NLE's, especially if you enable background rendering (which transcodes to ProRes on the fly). It's a bummer that they haven't added QS support to Handbrake for macOS yet.
