Help me identify problem for slow export on a powerful machine

Hi,
I am exporting an interview in Premiere Pro CC. It is 1:45:00 long and it has been 20 hours since, but the export is only 94% complete.
Project & Footage:
The footage is a combination of DSLR footage - 5D Mark III, GH3, 650 & 550D.
The edit is all straight cuts with: {a} Color corrector on each clip to match all cameras {b} NEAT - reduce noise on around 10% clips {c} Sharpen (10-30) & {d} An adjustment layer overall with a 3-way color corrector for a simple color grade.
Hard Drives:
E: SSD-RAID for the source footage (Samsung 840 SSD on RAID-0)
D: SSD for previews and cache (Samsung 840 Pro)
C: SSD for Windows, Adobe CC & all programs (Samsung 840 Pro)
G: Simple Seagate Hard disk for Export (used to be a 3 disk RAID but 2 drives crashed some time back)
Other Machine Spec:
Intel i7-3930K overclocked by 10%
64GB RAM
GTX-770 GPU
This is my longest project to date in terms of total time, but last time I did a 1:00:00 project, took around 2 hours not 20.
My concern is I need to understand where the bottleneck is?
My CPU is hardly working a sweat - 40% at max
My RAM is plenty - being used 40-70%
GPU is not even being used in anything (see it at 0%)
Disks (which I was sure was the bottleneck) barely cross 10MB/s
Checked the "power options" in Windows also - everything is set to maximum performance.
It was a big mistake not to send it to Media Encoder as I could have continued editing a different project. Biggest. Mistake. Ever! (no idea why Adobe does not make it a default behaviour?)
I am fairly new to the industry and till last year was using a MacBook Pro until I started getting demanding projects.
I want to know is this normal? If I had used NEAT video for 100% footage then probebly I could have understood this, but its used for only 1/10th of thr footage and I have used NEAT before (but on After Effects CS6) on my Macbook pro (nowehere near as fast as my current machine) and it only added a small overhead - nothing of this sort.
I expected maybe 3 hours to export this 90-100 min seqeunce, not over 1 day.
So what could be the reason? Why isn't one of the above (CPU, RAM, Disk, GPU) at 100%?
I expected 1 of these to be the bottleneck but nothing is crossing 50% even when it should be on full blast.
I dread what if there is small tweak required in the edit once its complete. This video is due on Monday, I would have to reencode for 24 hours.
Please experts - let me know your thoughts. Could it be that Creative Cloud Windows is slower than CS6 Mac & its not a hardware problem?
I am sure I am missing some hardware that is causing this bottlenck. Attaching resource Monitor screenshot (let me know if I should use some benchmark software for you guys to get more information).

UPDATE: My export crashed (and heart sank) after 96% (25 hours). Win7 restarted. I have no clue why (If someone has any tip how to seach logs/dump in Windows to find a reason how, please let me know - I was worried about CPU temperature but that was around 40 deg, I was monitoring it.)
Anyways, so I used Media Encoder now (instead of direct export in PrPro) and made 2 changes:
1. I unchecked "Render Maximum Depth" just as it is in the the default Youtube 1080p@24p preset (but kept the keyframing distance at 24 instead of 72 which is default).
2. From VBR - 2 Pass, I made it CBR
Its been 15 min I started the export and the video is 20% encoded already, with remaning time just 00:30 min.
Now I am flabergasted.
Did not using maximum depth & VBR- 2 pass alone make such a difference? From 30 hours to 1 hour? I am still using all the video effects and absolutely no change to the edit.
I am seeing 2 differences the way my machine is working:
1. Is Adobe somehow using some old renders it did for the last export? I am using disk utility and it is refering to original source files and some "Media Encoder preview files" which I think it was not using before (could be wrong)?
So all that hard work it did for 25 hours is being utilized and if I do such a project again it will take me 30 hours again. Right?
2. GPU is now being used (and to good effect). How is GPU being used now? I am not scaling or using any fancy effects. Just Neat Video, 3-way color corrector & Sharpen.
This was before (export done in Premiere Pro directly):
And this is now:
Very sad that no one (even from the Adobe Staff) has replied to my post. Did I say something inappropriate or TMI?
C'mon guys I am on the Creative Cloud - show me some love

  • Help with installation problems for PE 12; error while installing Shared Technologies. Suggestions?

    Help. I've tried to install PE12 multiple times without success due to shared technology installation failure. The install gets right to the end and then fails when trying to launch and uninstalls. Per the help suggestions, I downloaded the ASA, which identified no problems.
    Very frustrating.
    Any suggestions for someone who is not too tech savvy?
    Thanks.

    In Windows what has always worked for me is ending any already running PSE/PRE processes from previous or current versions - look for anything with 'Elements' in the name, and 'dynamiclinkmanager.exe'. Then I run the setup program by right-clicking and selecting 'Run as Administrator'. This runs the setup program with even higher privileges than a user account with Administrator privileges.

  • Help in weired problem for  dunning -f150

    Hi All
    My  problem is the following
    After I run the transaction F150 , to make a dunning proposal , I want to dun only a limited  number of customer   say from level  1-3.
    When I click in the change button ,  I  got to another selection screen where I can   put the dunning level  .
    After putting some vlaue in the dunning level field  the program exits with the error message saying Delimitation to the dunning level not allowed
    The strange thing is when I run the program with the dunning level field empty , the program runs as it should and I can change the dunning proposal.
    I debugged the program RFMAHN21  and I found this piece of code
    In my case
    CASE h_variant-handle.
    WHEN '0002'.
          data ld_lines type i.
          describe table ma_mahns lines ld_lines.
          if ld_lines > 0.
            message s020.
            exit.
          endif.
    u2026..
    endcase
    the program exits as soon as we put some value in the the dunning level field which is the table ma_mahns and the message s020 I written out u201CDelimitation to the dunning level not allowedu201D
    I wonder what is the purpose of having a selection option field, when the program exits as soon as the field is not empty.
    I have searched sap notes for help but without luck.
    Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Solved
    I had to write a z program based on sap program and delete the exit statement.
    cheers.

  • Any help on writing code for XML export?

    Hello,
    The Adobe Acrobat 6.0 allows us to Export/SaveAs PDF to XML 1.0. Currently we have developed an application which reads PDF files and emits some XML. However this XML has a very basic schema and we need to add more structure to it. Like one examples is of recognizing tables from PDF document. Logical information of tables are not there in PDF files as such, and tables in PDF document are merely stored as collection of horizontal and vertical lines. Acrobat 6.0 recognizes tables and lists somehow. I need to recognize them too. So is there any reference or some algorithms which tell us how to extract this logical information from a PDF? Any
    clues? Any type of guidance is appreciated.
    Regards,
    Atiq

    You're posting to the wrong forum. This one is about XMP metadata, not about Acrobat or general XML. You should repost on an Acrobat forum.

    Minimize your iTunes, right click on your Desktop, click Properties, click the Settings tab. Increase your screen resolution to 1024 x 768. If it looks OK, click OK. You should be able to continue with your iPod.

  • Help Please, Battling Problem For Months

    This is the first time I've posted on SunJava's forum, and hope I'm doing this right ^^; Please do correct me if I'm wrong.
    For months, I haven't been able to compose mail on web-based email, view sites programmed in Java, or use Angelfire or Geocities or other similar programs. I've installed the Windows XP Service Pack 2 and attempted to Reinstall IE6, but was unsuccessful and go an error message. I've installed SunJava and enabled it under Internet Options' Advanced Tab. I've searched the web, Google and Forums pertaining to the topic, but haven't found anything that has worked. Any advice? Thanks! Greatly, GREATLY appreciated.

    I'm not really sure if any of the sites you mention actually use Java. Hotmail, for example, does not use Java. Most do use JavaScript though, which is something entirely different and is not a Sun product.
    This isn't really the right place for questions like this. Although most people probably won't mind posts such as this, the forum is intended for use by people developing software using Java.
    You might want to check out http://www.java.com/ instead. That's the official resource for 'consumers' (i.e. people NOT interested in writing programs using java, but only in using the programs themselves). There will probably be some facility there for reporting bugs or answering questions.
    As a last resort, you might want to try using another browser. For example, take a look at the products at http://www.mozilla.org/ A lot of people actually prefer those browsers to IE for numerous reasons, including better security

  • Help network connecting problems for netflix

It will work fine for days, then halfway through a movie all of a sudden everything quits. When we try to reconnect the network won't reconnect.

    No. Furthermore, the system requirements for Nokia Software Updater state clearly that a fast Internet connection is required. If you don't have a fast Internet connection you can always ask a Nokia Care Point to do the update for you.

  • Adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem

    Hi,
      I got this message after importing about ten or so H.264 files that I encoded from Adobe media encoder.  "adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem."
    The files we're shot with HD cameras.  Edited in Premiere Pro CS3.  I installed the update 3.0.1 with still the same error.
    I also tried a brand new project and after about ten or so files being imported into a timeline, the system crash.  I tried this twice....
        Thanks in Advance

    Hi Hunt,
           Here is the skinny.  A window base PC.  footage shot with HD sony HD cameras,  Project imported to Premiere CS3.  Once completed sent file to Adobe media encoder and render them as H.264 widescreen high Quality.  Imported them to Adobe Encore CS3.  After about ten files or so.  I got the error message.  Did all the basic trouble shoot like restarting the computer, got latest patch.  Even build a new test project with the same problem.
        Something else I read in the forums, is the encore will transcoded the project to Mpeg 2 anyway, after looking at my project I realized those few files were indeed untranscoded.  So it will be a double compression and I dont want that.  So, my new question is, what is H.264 good for ?????????? I was research that Mpeg 2 is a faster render but H.264 is a slower render but better quality.....
       what do you think ????

  • Need help identifying problem (lockup/freezing in Warcraft III & CS)

    my macbook pro:
    Model Name: MacBook Pro 15"
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro1,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
    Processor Speed: 2 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache (per processor): 2 MB
    Memory: 1 GB
    Bus Speed: 667 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: MBP11.0055.B08
    SMC Version: 1.2f10
    Serial Number: W862318KVWY
    Sudden Motion Sensor:
    State: Enabled
    It freezes and has black screens during games in which apple Q and force quit doesn't work. I would need to restart the comp. when it freezes the sound would stutter, repeating whatever the game had playing.
    things I tried but the macbook pro still froze:
    running the game off USB storage device(so i think HD is fine)
    wiping HD and reinstalling OS, updating everything and playing it on both USB and the installation of game (not 3rd party apps)
    opening the macbook pro and cleaning out the dust (didn't take anything out, just blew dust off)
    resetting RAM with apple options P R
    took RAM out and put it back in
    ran apple hardware test (everything was okay)
    running a different game (Counter-Strike on CrossOver and still froze)
    Disk Warrior 4 (only minor repairs and it froze in the test game after i ran DW4)
    booting system from an external and running the game from USB
    things to note:
    although sometimes when it freezes, the temperatures are really high - even with fan control (70-80C) but, i've reproduced the lock up with the temperatures at 60C, so i don't think its a heat problem (thermal paste and whatnot)
    sometimes in safari, quicktime, itunes, or just on desktop picture i would see a single, horizontal, 1 pixel-height distorted line running across the screen, which i can take screenshots of. no idea what's causing it but it could have some relation with the freezing/lockups
    some days it will run without problems for the entire day, just to see lockups the very next day. I think it could be random.
    help please..

    =\ no one....

  • Slow export for no reason

    Hi fellow mac users. I have two macs. One of the macs has a much faster exporting speed that the other for Imovie HD. I heard about it being something about one using DV maybe?
    Well it takes on the slow exporting mac 20 minutes to export a 10 minute clip in CD-ROM format. But on the other it takes about 4 minutes. Considering I don't want it to take 20 minutes because the 4 minutes quality is fine - how do I make it go faster again on this computer?
    Thanks,
    -G

    Hi
    Not really understanding Your problem I can make a guess.
    The most common origin to that a Mac slows down is the amount of free space on
    the internal (start-up) hard disk (no other counts)
    • 5Gb or less - most probably Your Mac doesn't work or have an occult behaviour
    • 5-10Gb might work but slow
    • about 25Gb free space - my way of getting things done
    Second reason:
    DVD discs has a speed no: on them eg DVD-R x16 (most often to fast for most Macs
    to make good burns) I use iDVD08 or Apple Disk Util tool to burn at x1 speed
    Much better result and DVDs that most often works.

  • Firefox 31.0 - slowness and script problems for using websites

    Since Firefox 31.0 is released, some technical problems of slowness and script problems to use
    websites have been noticed from mine. Sometimes it needs up to some minutes to load a website
    and sometimes there are error messages for an unanswered script.

    Hello FredMcD,
    thank you for your message.
    But your answer to my question at support.mozilla.org is not helpful,
    although it is a professional technical answer from a Top 10 Contributor
    from mozilla.
    It seems that there is a permanent unfixed problem always if a new
    version of mozilla is released. After all fixed problems of the earlier
    version of firefox, there is no problem at all.
    But if I am already working with the non-problem earlier version of
    firefox, then suddenly the problems of error messages, slowness and
    script errors are appearing, and if I have looked for the actual version
    of firefox, there was signed a new version and now I have known,
    aha a new vesion of firefox was released and it needs up some time
    for every new version until the error problems were fixed.
    Maybe it is combined with the plugins like flashplayer or shockwave.
    But a professional version of firefox should not sign up error messages,
    because of plugins, while working with these plugins.
    Another answer from another support.mozilla.member was for an
    overload problem, because of opening some windows of firefox.
    But to open many windows of firefox was already no problem with the
    earlier version firefox 30.0 or earlier, until the error messages are fixed.
    The same unfixed problems are since firefox 25.0 up to 30.0, but I was
    wondering for how long version 30.0 was actual in practical working.
    And since version of firefox 31.0 was released the same problems
    of error messages, slowness and script errors were appearing.
    At the moment it seems firefox 31.0 works alright.
    But only the following time shows if it works without error messages,
    slowness and sript problems or not.
    In hope to give a helpful answer to yours
    kind regards
