H.264 vs QuickSync — Can You Tell the Difference? — Video Encoding Test

Should You use Hardware or Software Encoding for video transcoding, either for living streaming or simply compressing your final output file?

Today's video shows the difference between H.264 software encoding and Intel's QuickSync Hardware encoding in Adobe Premiere Pro.

Yes, I'm aware this isn't the same as Twitch Live Streaming in OBS, if there is enough interest in this video, I'll follow it up with NVENC vs H.264 vs QuickSync at 6Mbps 1080p to see what that looks like in OBS.

Let me know what you think!
