Currently, pyVideoTrans does not support Apple Silicon MLX (Metal Performance Shaders) for GPU acceleration. The software relies on NVIDIA CUDA for GPU‑accelerated tasks (like local Whisper models). On macOS, only CPU‑based processing is available through source deployment (Python 3.10 + uv sync).

If you’d like to see MLX support in a future release, I suggest watching the official GitHub repository and the documentation site for updates. There is no confirmed timeline for its addition.

For now, you can run pyVideoTrans on Apple Silicon using the source‑deployment method, but all AI models will run on CPU, which may be slower.
