Kanen Flowers found a way to beat Adobe to the punch by "hacking" Premiere Pro's OpenCL approved card list and adding the GPUs found in the latest (at least until June) iMacs. So far Adobe has only allowed two GPUs found in the Macbook Pros to enjoy the wonders of hardware acceleration, but Flowers discovered simply adding the GPU model names of the ones found in the iMac to the list turned on hardware acceleration for iMac users.
I've actually tried the hack and found some glitches, especially with audio playback which caused crashes. While scrubbing the timeline, the audio would suddenly turn "cylony" and then the system would lock up and a kernel panic would ensue. Since I reinstalled CS6 and never reengaged the hack, I haven't had those specific audio issues reoccur. Was it the hack or maybe just a funky install? Who knows, but if you feel adventurous, give it a try.
