Hi everyone. I recently completed my new build but I can't export h.264 video in Final Cut Pro 10.4 with the igpu disabled. I know enabling the igpu and quicksync can help with that (I had quicksync working on my old z97 build) but no matter what I try I can't seem to get it working on this new build with the HD 630.
Here is a rundown of my system/setup:
MacOS: 10.13.4
Gigabyte z370n-wifi
i8700k
Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 Special Edition
SMBIOS: 18,3
BIOS -> Primary Graphics: PCIE Slot
BIOS -> Integrated Graphics: Enabled
BIOS -> CSM: Enabled
I tried following this guide to enable Quicksync:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/amd-nvidia-primary-display-with-airplay-mirroring.118662/
If I do everything the guide says, I get a boot time that takes like 5 minutes or more (seems like the system doesn't know which graphics card to use). It flashes several times and then finally finishes booting. MacX Video Converter then says that Quicksync is not enabled. If I export h.264 video in fcpx it'll work but not at quicksync speeds so it doesn't seem like its working properly (and the massive boot time is a deal breaker).
If I don't have the igpu enabled, and no headless igpu settings, then MacX Video Converter says that Quicksync IS enabled but I can't export h.264 in FCPX (very weird behavior).
I've tried both options from the guide above, with ig-platform-id = 0x59120003, with/without GFX0 to IGPU, with/without Lilu + whatevergreen, I've tried with RadeonDeInt enabled and disabled, tried with/without Inject Intel and/or Inject ATI and I've tried every combination I could think of with all these settings on or off.
I was previously on SMBIOS 14,2 because I was getting black screen after boot because I use Dual Monitors with DP cables. Adding the latest Whatevergreen from a few days ago fixed that issue so I changed back to 18,3.
Anyway, any help with this is greatly appreciated. I have to be able to export to h.264 because of all the video editing that I do.
