That means iMovie and QuickTime rely on CPU based video encoding and not Quick Sync.Īpple has traditionally been very conservative with adopting new hardware features in software (ahem, TRIM). Not only is Quick Sync not featured by Apple, it's not supported by any Apple application other than FaceTime. Given how well Quick Sync is suited for moving content between i-devices it's surprising that Apple doesn't tout it as a feature of the new 2011 MacBook Pros. ![]() While Quick Sync's performance/quality in the pro space is unproven, there's simply no better way of taking your existing video content and transcoding it for use on mobile devices like an iPhone or an iPad. In our review we found it to be better than any of the currently available GPU based transcoding methods and far better than just running the transcode operation on your CPU. One of the most significant features of Intel's Sandy Bridge CPU is Quick Sync, the hardware assisted video transcode engine.
