I am trying to use Kdenlive on my Windows 10 laptop that has AMD GPU R5 M330, 2 GB.

When I export a video, it just doesn't use it. Only CPU is being used which is really really slow even for 2-minute video.

When I choose AMD option in the rendering dialog, it says:

Unsupported video codec: h264_vaapi

enter image description here

Do I have to install anything else to make it work?

I have googled it already but couldn't find anything that seems helpful.

    vaapi is not available on Windows. You should try amf instead, if the ffmpeg build you have is built with the support. – Tom Yan Jan 15 '23 at 18:02
  • @TomYan And amf is already installed or I have to download something extra. I mean I have AMD Station installed already. – Suleman Elahi Jan 15 '23 at 18:10
  • What I meant was, you should look for some "AMF encoder" (or "AMD encoder" that has no irrelevant wording like "vaapi"; I don't know how the option would be shown) on the list in you shown on the screenshot. If there's no such choice available, then likely the ffmpeg kdenlive ships is not built with AMF support (or, kdenlive hasn't got the support to make use of it in its own code yet). Obviously whether you have installed the required drivers or libraries does not matter, otherwise you won't see all the choices that are irrelevant on the list. – Tom Yan Jan 15 '23 at 18:21
  • By the way, I suppose you are using a native version of kdenlive (instead of some WSL version), right? – Tom Yan Jan 15 '23 at 18:25
  • Yes it has `h264amf` when i create a custom rendering profile from here https://www.pling.com/p/1893905. I checked that FFmpeg that Kdenlive is using has the same encoder enabled. But it is still not rendering, giving errors: https://res.cloudinary.com/suleman/image/upload/v1673809933/error.png – Suleman Elahi Jan 15 '23 at 19:12
  • Yes it's Windows version not WSL. – Suleman Elahi Jan 15 '23 at 19:12
  • No idea. Maybe you can ask [here](https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/AMF/issues). You are [not the only one](https://stackoverflow.com/q/74216907) anyway. – Tom Yan Jan 15 '23 at 19:42
