Intel® Quick Sync Video makes fast work of creating, editing, synchronizing, and sharing your videos—at home and online.

What is Intel® Quick Sync Video?

Intel Quick Sync Video, built right into the 3rd generation Intel® Core™ processor, uses dedicated media processing to make video creation and conversion faster and easier. With it you can create DVDs or Blu-ray* discs, create and edit 3D videos, convert 2D video files into 3D, and convert video for your portable media player and for upload to your favorite social networking sites—all in a flash.

Intel 3rd generation PCs with Intel Quick Sync Video can convert HD video content for a handheld device twice as fast as PCs based on Intel 2nd generation processors.¹² Instead of you waiting for your video, your video is waiting for you.

How it works

Video content is typically compressed and encoded into a specific format when it is stored on hard drives, DVDs, camcorders, cell phones, or broadcast media. When you want to play that content, burn it onto a DVD or Blu-ray* disc, or copy it to your phone, it must first be decoded and then re-encoded in a new format, a resource- and time-intensive process. Intel Quick Sync Video accelerates decoding and encoding for a significantly faster conversion time, while also enabling the processor to complete other tasks, improving overall PC performance.
