Dynamic Linked AE comp not using all cores in Premiere CS5 to render

I have a project that is taking forever to render and am trying to troubleshoot it. It has an AE comp that is used several times and seems to be the culprit. If i load that into after effects and render with my "use 7 of 8 cores with 1GB ram each" setting in afx then my cpu usage is about 80-90% and it renders that segment in 50 seconds.
Now when i link that into premiere and it is rendering along almost maxxing out all 8 cores until it hits that comp and then cpu usage drops down and only one core is at 80% and the rest are around below 20% and that segment takes almost 10 minutes for premiere to get through.
Now obviously i can pre-render that and replace the comp and the problem will be solved but i would much rather see premiere render at full speed like it should. Am i missing something? With multicore systems this would make dynamic linking almost worthless if it wont use them (and i LOVE dynamic linking, it is a GREAT feature)
system is win7, cs5, dual quad xeon (8 cores), GTX 460, and 20GB ram.
thanks!

> Am i missing something?
No, you're not missing anything.
This is a current limitation of using Dynamic Link between Premiere Pro and After Effects. When Premiere Pro calls the headless version of After Effects to render those frames, only one After Effects process is used.
We're working on improving Dynamic Link. If you'd like to influence where we put our effort, please make a feature request so that the folks deciding what work to do can register your vote.

Premiere Pro is not using all core power for rendering of timeline

I have got PremierePro CS5.5 and i7 920 and nvidia GTX 295. When i edit my footage (cineform) everything is fine becouse i am using CUDA boost but when i am trying to render timeline i saw on my CPU & GPU Monitor that rendering is using maybe about 10% of power of all cores (8 cores). How to do to use all cores power when i am rendering my timeline?

When i am using cuda i work much faster with fullhd timeline than i am working with cpu. I thought that cuda is accelerating only editing of timeline becouse line is always yellow and when i am using rendering line is green and system is using cpu power. So i thought that cuda is acceleration only for editing without rendering acceleration. When i would use cuda for rendering acceleration system should work faster than with cpu rendering and it`s not true.
What is fastest way to turning off CUDA (to turn it on for a while).
Thanks a lot...

AE CS5 is not using Multiple Cores

I have a six core Intel I7 980X machine which i've got running at over 4GHz, yet AE is completely not making use of this speed.
I've turned on "Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously", and set it to use all cores (it detects 12 because of hyper threading on the I7 CPU's) and this does nothing for both the Preview window/working area or when actually rendering a video in the Render Queue. It uses about 9% at most of my CPU, that's not even 2 full cores.
I also have two SSD drives in RAID 0, they're Crucial C300 SSD's, pretty much the fastest you can get, infinitely faster than any Hard Drive, yet again... not making use of these it seems. I also have 12GB DDR3 running at 2GHz, i've set AE to use 9GB of it, as much as it will allow.... yet i cant even work with HD 1080p material and get near to smooth performance or even play it smoothly with or without effects applied, atleast with the video/viewer window near to 1080p size. Really pathetic. Premiere Pro on the other hard does a much better job but still dont fully make use of the speed and cores available. Adobe Media Encoder also does not use all cores.
Other software and even games make way better use of these cores than Adobe software seems to.
I've got two ATI 5870 graphics cards in Crossfire mode, they have the latest drivers. Performance is like this on any driver version though, but as far as i know none of this software makes use of the GPU's like it does with certain CUDA based Nvidia cards. I'd still like it to actually make use of my other hardware though.
I'm most bothered about AE, so any ideas why AE CS5 is [edited] so badly?
This is on Win7 x64.
Thanks for your help!

I've atleast made the renderer work a little faster by ticking "Enable OpenGL" in the Render Settings, and increasing the amount of used graphics card RAM to 800MB.
I also tried doing what those Blog posts said in the FAQ links - It has not helped much, if at all. So i tried a few different other RAM settings too, which didn't really help.
Then i put the video files on my SSD drives, and that helped a little. But not much difference still overall, very unimpressed with AE CS5 performance. It's took me hours to put together a 1min 30secs video that has 6 video files in total with some lens blur and colour grading effects applied, that's just silly, even for often slow Adobe software.
Cant see this happening but i'd like it if Adobe almost completely focus on performance for CS6 and hardly add any new features. While also making use of the speed of Solid State Drives and having GPU's also made use of more. I mean my SSD's are capable of reading around 600MB/sec and doing 40,000 I/O's per second but none of this is being made use of.

HELP: Premiere Pro CC not using all CPU and RAM during rendering and export

Hello,
I am using Premiere Pro CC on a Windows 7. My timeline is quite simple with two videos, one with the movie (mpeg) and the other with the subtitles (avi).
When I render the sequence in PP or export, the rendering time is way too slow and it only uses around 15-20% of the CPU and 3 GB of RAM.
My hardware config is :
- CPU : i7-4770k 3.50Ghz
- RAM : 8 GB
- Disk : 2 x 3 TB SATA (no raid)
RAM is not the bottleneck, neither the disk access.
I have tried rendering and exporting the same project on an iMac (with an i5 2.7 Ghz and 4 GB RAM and only 1 disk) and the result is 4x faster !!!
The CPU usage is close to 100% as well as RAM usage.
So how come PP uses all resources availble on an iMac and not on a Windows 7 ?
Is there any known bug or software bottleneck on Windows 7 ?
My machine is brand new and nothing much installed besides Adobe products.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,

I just rendered out a a 2 minute sequence with about 100 clips in it and Colorista effects on everything to the Vimeo 1080 H264 preset. It took about 5 minutes to render straight from Premiere, it used all the recourses it could, my CPU was running at near %100, same with my ram and GPU, I was happy.
Then I did another render with Red Giant Denoiser and it now wants to take 30 mins and it is only using about %20 of the recourses available. My problem isn't that its taking longer with Denoiser but that its not using all of my computers CPU and GPU.
Im rendering at maximum render quality and bit dept to H264 (Im happy to wait the extra time), if I try to use VRB 2 it encodes 1 pass at a time and wants to take up to 40 minutes.
I would appreciate some advice on this.

MBP not using all memory while rendering video

Hey,
When I do rendering in Adobe Premiere Por CS6, my Mac is not using all the available RAM: 2773 MB used....5416 MB free
Memory Pages:
                              1658 MB active....1099 MB wired

it also says that:       3 swap files at peak usage
                               256 MB total swap space (20 MB used)
350 GB free storage space( total 750 GB)
I have a MBP (OS x Lion) late 2011 with i7 2.8 GHz and 8 GB RAM
Adobe Premiere Pro is set to use 6.5 GB of RAM but not even while working in the programme it has ever used that much of memory.
During rendering, it is the only app running, except for Google Chrome.
If this info is not enough, just ask what do you need to know...
PLEASE HELP, rendering takes forever.
Thanks,
kund

You never said what model Mac you have. Since this is the MacBook Pro forum, I assume you have some version of the MBP. 390% CPU would indicate CPU-boundedness for a quad-core CPU without active hyperthreading, or a dual-core CPU with hyperthreading active.
Given the high CPU usage and the low swap usage, it seems unlikely that memory usage is the problem, but I'm not a Premiere Pro user, so I couldn't guess what it.
You might try posting your question in an Adobe forum for Premiere Pro.

Hi tonys60181,
Could you please let me know what version of Adobe Acrobat are you using.
What all drawing tools are you unable to access?
Is this issue specific to one PDF file or all?
What exactly happens when you try to use any drawing markup?
Please let me know.

Premiere Pro CC not using all resources... 4k

I just put together a new workstation machine for editing 1D-C 4k files in Premiere Pro and After Effects.
Specs...
i7 3770 3.4
Gigabyte Z77 Mobo
32gb Corsair Vengance DDR3 1600 RAM
250gb Samsung SSD
4x 2TB Seagate 7200 HDDs in RAID 0 (Yes I know it isn't backed up, we have that part covered)
Nvidia Quadro K4000 (3gb vram)
Anyway, we transfered a project with all the media files to our RAID media drive.
It opened up very quickly and loaded all the media much faster then our old workstation.
Then I hit the spacebar (perview) and the problems started..
It won't play back smoothly at all,
AND it is only running the CPU at 10-20%, GPU 10-50%, ram at 25% and it is not really taxing the drives very hard either...
Why won't PP use all the resources at 100% like I have previously seen it do on other machines?
** The project we are trying to play is 2 layers of 4k .MOV footage in a 1080 timeline... with sharpening, Fast color corrector, and RGB curves.
** It also drops every fourth frame when playing back just one layer of 4k .mov footage in a 1080 timeline with NO Effects applied. (Much smoother, but still not using all resources)
What I am asking, is why would it be giving up so quickly? Before even taxing the resources very hard?

I too have a recent 1D-C project I'm editing. That 1D-C is something, yes? Most filmic images I've ever seen from a DSLR. But I digress.
I'm following a workflow closer to the one used by Philip Bloom and Shane Hurlbut. The Motion Jpeg files will not play well at all on your system. It's strictly a capture medium - not an editing one.
I converted all my 1D-C files to Prores 422 at 4K size using Mpeg Streamclip. Those files imported beautifully and edit well on my Retina Macbook Pro laptop. I usually set playback to 1/2 quality, ps.
I have had problems using CUDA, so I'm sticking to software mode. But I don't see any problem with being able to cut my film and finish on my computer.
Also - my sequence is a 4K sequence right in Premiere. I simply chose a clip and "made a sequence" from that. Why scale when I don't have to? I've exported to 1080p easily from the sequence.
If anyone finds this workflow less than ideal, I'm all ears. Thanks.

SAP job not using all dialog processes that are available for parallel processing

He Experts,
The customer is running a job which is not using all the dialog processes that are available for parallel processing. It appears to use up the parallel processes (60) for the first 4-5 minutes of the job and then maxes out about 3-5 processes for the remainder of the job.
How do I analyze the job to find out the issue from a Basis perspective?
Thanks,
Zahra

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for replying!
I don't believe its a standard job.
I was thinking of starting a trace using ST05 before the job. What do you think?
Thanks,

System not using all avail. mem.

Hi all, did a lot of forum searching and haven't seen this topic.
I'm using PPCS5(in production Premium) While rendering, the program is not using all available memory. before I go on here is the system I am using:

2x2TB RAID 0 (6gig SATA) data
see image:
I have 21gigs allocated to the program.
Is the bottleneck the cache memory?
This is what I'm outputting:

In cs6, my preview files are not saving on my Dynamic Link AE comps when i reopen the project

i cant figure out the life of me what seems to be the problem
This has been going on for a long time for me, dont know if anybody else has this problem, but for me, when i render out the whole entire sequence, everthing has the green bar, i save, i quit and reopen, the red bar appears and i have to re render all the Dynamic link comps again! its really annoying, i feel like its just collecting more space every time i do this
Any fix for this, and here are my specs

Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB

It happens sometimes that preview files get lost. There's no definitive fix yet, but you could try this:

Cc2014 not using all CPU cores or GPU

I'm using the new CC2014, and I exported a project straight out of Premiere and it utilized all 8 of my CPU and my GPU. When I export using Adobe Media Encoder, it only uses one core and doesn't seem to use the GPU at all. I tried changing the setting to from GPU to software only, and it didn't seem to make a difference.

Just found out, that drag and drop PPro Sequences into AME seems to be a work-around.Plus unchecking the "Import Sequences Natively" in AME.
Well, ..indeed it worked. Not very convenient though and it's a bug that's been around for a while (7 month!! according to some users).
Please fix this, cannot be too hard, can it?
What bothers me even more is a still low CPU usage of around 35% over all when exporting....

PPro not using all cpu cores evenly

Hey Guys!
I've been recently trying to optimize my laptop to get better performance.
I have a Lenovo Y550P -
i7 Q 720 1.60 GHz
8GB Ram
Nvidia GT240m video card (1gb ram)
64 bit windows 7
500 gb 7200 RPM HDD
I know this is not the ideal setup, but it is what I have.
I have a massive amount of GoPro footage to process, and was having issues shuttling at 1/4 resolution. I made some tweaks such as:
removed windows visual effects
enabled hard drive write buffering
disable CPU core parking (laptop thing)
various tweaks to the services.msc file
"enabled" my video card for cuda =)
This has greatly improved my shuttling for 2x and 4x. however when I watch the performance monitor I notice it uses CPU cores 4 & 7 significantly more than the other cores. CPU usage only reaches about 40% during shuttling, yet stutters.
Here is a screen capture of resource monitor on disks: I'm currently reading the footage from an external USB 3.0 drive (F), scratch disks are set to internal (C).
Here is a screen capture of CPU resources, notice how cpu core 4 (start from 0) has higher usage.
Is there something I can improve on my setup to make my system more efficient, or is all this just because of the HDD bottleneck? Any advice on improving my limited systems performance would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time!

Sorry, here are the images!

CS4 Not Seeing All Cores

AE CS4 is only "seeing" 4 of the 8 available cores in the Preferences/Memory & Multiprocessing Menu.
However during stress test rendering, all 8 cores show activity in Task Manager/Performance.
Any ideas?
Many thanks, Linda

Ok, perhaps I'm looking at this the wrong way.
I need some memory help.
I wrote the following on the Premiere forum, but got no answer. You're both quick to respond, so please can you read this, as my problem is a mix of AE & Ppro.:
Using a new cs4 system, I start a new 1080i project.
I dynamically link to a new AE file. Within the AE file I put one 4mb jpg running over 20 seconds, and save.
Back to Ppro, I put the AE comp on the timeline.
At this point, Task Manager shows that PPro is using around 0.5 gb ram.
I render the 20 seconds of the Ppro timeline which has the AE clip.
After rendering, Task Manager shows PPro as using almost 2GB ram.
But this ram doesn't seem to get freed up again... so after a few minutes more working, I start to get ram warning messages.
Soon after, Ppro shuts down.
I've tried changing the "Optimise rendering for Performance / Memory, in Ppro, but this doesn't have much effect.
So - I've got a new system with loads more memory than my old XP cs3 system - yet the performance in PPro & AE is nothing like as good.
After rendering, I can save, close and open the file again - it's marked green for rendered, and the memory is back to 0.5gb.
But I shouldn't have to close the programme between every render, I'm sure.
Background info and rant: this was a new system which was delivered to our studio last week.
Eventually tearing my hair out this afternoon, I've written to the pc builder saying I want to return it, and to Adobe asking to return CS4.
But if you can solve this problem I'll happily go back to them both and say it's fixed.
I wrote on the Support forum, which says I'll get a reply in 3 days.
I phoned support three times, each time being put on hold for 20 minutes before being cut off.
So suggestions very welcome to get what should be an awesome system up to scratch.
Many thanks, Linda
