Export (Premiere CC 2014 & Media Encoder CC 2014) not using 100% of CPU

Hey all, had this problem for a while now, Adobe CC 2014 just doesn't want to utilise my CPU, thus taking a 3min clip to encode forever (god forbid I use any effects or a 3 minute clip encodes for over 5hours - no not a joke) it doesn't matter if I use the built in encoder in Premiere or use the Media Encoder. I've seen that many people struggle with this but no-one has supplied a solution not at least oen that I could find. Does anybody know a workaround? Just to throw in some numbers here. A same project file, with the same export settings with the same source files and on the same computer of course; 1 hour and 21min clip encodes in 2 hours and 24min (h264 2pass encode with 35mbit stream) in CS6, with CC 2014 it takes 6 hours and 49 min and that is just preposterous.
As can be seen from the screenshot Adobe CC 2014 is only using about 50% of my CPU thus encoding slower. I wonder if there is a way to tell Adobe to just use all of the resources that are given to it?
My PC:
i5 4440 @ 3.1GHz
32GB RAM
2x Crucual 256GB SSD
1x 3TB Raptor
GeFroce GTX 560

  • Premiere Pro to Media Encoder to .MP4 not working? Please help

    I'm trying to export my Premiere pro project to my iphone .MP4 . I just did it last night for the first time, went to the encoder. Today I think I did everything the same but the .MP4 won't sync to my iphone. Then, I tried it again and now it's exporting two files, one being a .AAC file and the other file has varied. .m4v and .m4v.md0. I just want to export to .m4v, I didn't think it would be this complicated, especially when it worked flawlessly last night. Any insight will be appreciated.

    Hi Andrew,
    Which preset did you use?
    Thanks,

  • Media Encoder CC 2014 Exports larger file than Media Encoder CC with same settings

    We like to deliver final exports to most of our clients with the following settings:
    Format: Quicktime
    Codec: H.264
    Quality: 100
    1920x1080, 23.976, progressive, square pixels
    use maximum render quality
    audio: uncompressed, 48khz, stereo, 16 bit, single track
    When I used to export a ~5 minute video using these settings with Premiere or Media Encoder CC (7.2.2.29), I would get a file ~1GB. If I export a ~5 minute video using these settings in Premiere or Media Encoder CC 2014 (8.0.1.48), the result is ~ 4GB.
    Any thoughts on why this might be? I assume it's a user error but I can't nail down what it is.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi matthewrichie88,
    I used the same settings that you have mentioned above on a Windows 7 computer and got the same file size with both versions of Media Encoder. Please specify if you have a Mac or a Windows and which OS exactly? It would really help if you can post screenshots of your export settings with both versions. Give more details about the source files as well.
    Thanks!

  • Media Encoder CC 2014 using cached versions of Precomps in AE and Nested Sequences in Premiere?

    I'm seeing this weird thing where Media Encoder is using older versions of certain assets when exporting a Premiere Pro CC 2014 sequence.  I'm seeing issues with nested sequences...Media Encoder uses an old version of a linked AE comp or it doesn't render a certain video track. With linked AE comps...I'm seeing Media Encoder use an earlier version of a precomp within the main comp.
    When I look at the video in the Export Settings dialogue in Media Encoder, the old version of the AE comp shows .
    If I look at the Export Settings dialogue in Premiere, it's up to date and looks right.
    Anyone dealing with this or found a workaround?  Thanks!
    Calvin

    I don't think I'd call this issue expected behavior...at best it's anticipated behavior that's going wrong.  The only reason I wouldn't call it expected behavior is because what I'm seeing is AME reverting to a cached state on a FRESH LOAD of a sequence to render directly from Premiere.  Basically, AME isn't open...sequence looks fine in PPro...load into AME via PPro export...look at export settings dialog in AME and note that the sequence is the old/cached version.  So, it's not like the export was already in AME and THEN I made changes in PPro.  It appears AME might be incorrectly identifying the newly imported sequence for export as an older, cached version.
    However, I didn't get a chance to test your original solution so I'll try that the next time I see it happen.  I also fixed the issue by clearing out the media cache and databases.  NOT an elegant solution at all and TOTAL overkill...but it did work.
    Thanks for the links!

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 and Media Encoder CC 2014 not completing encode.

    This is a project that I have been successfully encoding in short segments until now.  Now when encoding, session runs about 10-15 minutes and then ends without error messages. 
    Removing effects and changing to Mercury PB Engine SW did not help. 
    Also tried disabling metadata as suggested in another forum. 
    When CUDA used, logged as "Encoding failed."  When Mercury SW used, logged as "File Successfully Encoded" even though video file is only 6 KB with no content.

    I am having a similar problem.
    Premiere Pro CC 2014 suddenly decided to crash every time I export to either Adobe Media Encoder or within Premiere itself.
    The encode will usually go for 5-10 minutes before the programs either spits out a "serious error has occurred" window, or it just sits there frozen until I force quit.
    I did find a work-around for the moment. If I open AME and FILE > OPEN, select my project and then the sequence I want, AND put it in Software render mode, it will work.
    My timeline is 2K, 58 minutes in 23.976
    Only effects applied are Lumetri LUTs - no third party.

    Because I can get my renders out, I am not too concerned. Either there is something wonky with my timeline that screws with any graphics enabled rendering, or there is a bug that is have the same effect. I will try rendering on another of my edit bays that utilizes a GTX 580 that I KNOW works. The Titan is pretty new to my workflow.

  • Premiere CC 2014 hangs when sending sequences to Media Encoder CC 2014

      Whenever I try to send a sequence from Premiere Pro CC 2014 to Media Encoder CC 2014, Premiere immediately freezes and becomes unresponsive. AME seems to still be running just fine.
    I've tried the following troubleshooting steps:
    – Clearing the media cache.
    – Clearing and moving the scratch disks.
    – Deleting all render previews and re-building them.
    – Completely re-installing all of Adobe's Creative Cloud suite.
    – Importing the at-question PPCC14 project file into a fresh PPCC14 project and importing only the sequence I need to export.
    – Dragging and dropping the at-question Premiere sequence into AME.
    – Opening only AME and trying to drag the entire Premiere project file from Finder.app into AME's render queue. (This happens to work, as a matter of fact, however something strange happens once the sequence is in the AME queue. It pops up just fine, I can change the render settings and file export location, but when I click the green play button at the top right, nothing happens. AME doesn't hang or freeze up or anything, it's just that nothing happens. No prep, no nothing – very strange.)
    – Uninstalling CUDA completely and tried using only OpenCL and software-only rendering engines.
    – Opening the same at-question project on an entirely different computer.
    – Trying to export from PPCC14 itself.
    – Tried opening up an entirely different PPCC14 project and exporting – worked perfectly. So it must be something with this specific project file.
    I eventually got it working (honestly, I'm not even sure what I did – at that point it felt like I was in a zombie state after four hours of troubleshooting and was just repeating troubleshooting steps because I was trying to hit a deadline with this export.) I was able to export it directly from PPCC14 – I was never able to get it to work with AMECC14, however.
    Other miscellaneous noteworthy things: This project I'm trying to export is massive – it's a feature documentary that's about 2 hours in length. It's very complex in its edits, has a mixture of ProRes 422 files and .MTS files, and the entire project is reading media from three separate USB 3.0 hard drives. I know that's not the ideal workflow, but it's been doing just fine until this last time I tried to render out the latest export for our client.
    Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

    I've tried importing into a new blank project, but that did not seem to work. I then tried selecting the sequence in the bin and exporting that as a "Simplified Project" via the File menu. That still does not work when sending the sequence to AMECC14, but it does work when I render straight from PPCC14.
    I have also found that as long as I give it enough time to load up and all that, I seem to be able to export just fine from PPCC14 itself – I'm still getting the freezing/hanging when trying to send to AMECC14 however.
    Thanks for the help so far Cgunningham – I really appreciate it. I'll keep following up here if I find anything else new out.

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 and Media Encoder CC 2014 Crashing constantly

    Running out of options and ideas...
    Symptom: Every time I work on any project in Premiere Pro CC 2014 or try to render out in Premiere Pro CC 2014 or Media Encoder CC 2014, the software crashes after 2-3 minutes of use/rendering when the GPU is enabled in Premiere/Media Encoder, or after 5-10 minutes of use/rendering in software only mode.  The crash is a software crash, Windows continues to run fine.
    I have tried all the standard list of steps that adobe reps post on threads like these - clearing media cache, software only on render, new project, etc.  https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-system-errors-freezes-windows.html

    I have wiped adobe off the machine and reinstalled - same problem.  I have tried projects that crash the machine on other machines and it works fine.
    The machine is new, clean install and runs everything else great - 3ds max, high res games, scientific computing - max memory use, etc.
    Spec:
    5K iMac running bootcamp and Windows 8.1
    Intel Core i7-4790K @ 4.0 GHz

    1TB SSD
    AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4GB GDDR5
    I have used this bootcamp/imac configuration for 5+ years on 3-4 machines and everything has always just worked great.  Guess it was my time for a problem, but I'm open to new ideas to try...
    Finally - I hope someone from Adobe reads this.  I have spent 2 nights on the phone with support.  The first night I got an over confident answer that it's a gpu driver issue, just go with software only (no luck - same crashes and different drivers aren't solving the problem).  Tonight I was hung up on "by accident" as the agent looked up my video card after waiting 15 minutes to talk to someone, only to be hung up on a second time while on hold after calling back and waiting 20 minutes (because I assume the Adobe call center closed). No message to say so, just hung up on. An overall very disappointing experience.
    Thanks in advance to anyone with ideas on things to try,
    Cheers!

  • Exporting with Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 loses sound.

    So... I've been having a hell of a time with the new Adobe creative cloud when it comes to video editing.  The drop of .flv format, unable to straight export .H24 formats from after effects, it's a total nightmare.  Here's the issue, to export as a .H24, you now have to use Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014.  The biggest issue, however, is at the end of the export, when you open the video, half of the video's sound is mysteriously GONE.  Just gone.  If you go back to after effects, look at the file and the audio, the wave forms are there.  There's nothing that would make it lose sound.  Audio is selected on export... I have no idea what's up.  Editing videos for youtube was a snap in previous versions of After Effects, now It's becoming almost impossible.

    I think the same problem:
    Part of audio missing in mp4 AAC rendered files from Watched Folders
    Probably with cached files. Try this: Adobe Media Encoder 2014.2 Part of audio missing in mp4 AAC rendered files - cache problem? - Video Production Stack Exc…

  • Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 + Dynamic Link = no audio!

    When exporting to any file from AE via Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 (8.0.1) rendered file has no audio at all.
    When importing AE comp with audio to Premiere CC 2014 imported track doesn't have audio.
    Problem is somewhere in dynamic link.
    How can we export, for example to H.264, from AE if Media Encoder have problems with Dynamic Link?

    Hi Dmitri,
    In AE project I have JPG sequence footage and sequence of ten MP3 audio tracks. I have created WAV file from those ten tracks and tried it in AE instead of MP3 files, but result was same - no audio in file, rendered from AME.

    I have troubles with the latest update of Media Encoder CC (2014). I get an error which says: I can't unpack the downloaded files (translated from Dutch). Please try again. I try again, but it don't help. I have a MacPro early 2008 with Mavericks.
    =======================================
    Moderator moved thread from Premiere Pro forum to AME, and trimmed the title.

    Looks like one component in Media Encoder is either missing or corrupted somehow.
    Could you uninstall Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 and please make sure all files are deleted after uninstall?  Then, please try re-installing it.

  • Media Encoder CC 2014.1 won't render Neat Video plugin

    Apply plugin in AE CC 2014.1 and sent to the Media Encoder CC 2014.1
    it opens and nothing happens !!!!
    return back to the AE CC 2014
    remove the plugin Neat Video
    and send it back to Media Encoder CC 2014
    everything works fine !!!!
    What's the problem?

    Hello Qnolic,
    As Bob suggested, please check with Neat Video support to ascertain as to whether the plug-in is approved to work with Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 and AME 8.1, or not. This update was not a dot release, it was a major release where things like plug-ins, GPU drivers etc. need to be updated to be fully functioning. Keeping plug-ins updated is the work of the plug-ins manufacturer. If the plug-in needs to be updated for the update and no update is available, it is better to stay on the former version. That is why I marked Bob's response as correct, as well.
    Thanks,
    Kevin
