Media Encoder not fully utilizing CPU

I encode edits created on Premiere Pro CC 2014 to main profile H.264/12Mbps but they are not being turned around nearly as fast as I thought they would for a PC with my kind of specs, when observing the task manager during an encode I can see that the CPU utilization only goes up to a maximum of 64% (averaging at around 45-55%), meaning that a 30min sequence can take as long as 45mins to complete.
Is there a way of getting any more horse power from my computer? I have invested in this solution as i need to turn around clips very quickly but at the moment the performance is not living up to my expectations.

As far as I know, FCPX uses the GPU for rendering in the timeline now...
Not sure, if it’s of any help...?
Check out “Mark Spencer” and “Steve Martin” talking about rendering in FCPX...

FCPX is not fully utilizing CPU. Slow Rendering.

When rendering in FCPX, I notice in the Activity Monitor that FCPX is only using 38-43% of available CPU and the rest of the CPU muscle is sitting there "idle." Does any one know how to correct this problem? This is nonsense. I should be rendering quickly and right now I am not moving faster than my 3 year old iMac with a 512 MB graphics card.
I've spent a bank roll on a top of the line 2012/13 iMac and external drive setup:
3.4 Ghz i7
32MB RAM
3 TB Fusion internal drive (only running system softward and other applications that are NOT opn when I am runing FCPX)
My FCPX files are on a Pegusus R6 12 TB Thunderbolt drive

Hello, Adobe?

Matrox Media Encoder not working in CS4

Good day,
I have just purchased a used RTX2/ CS4 bundle which includes the card and breakout box.
I am currently using RTX2/CS3 which I bought way back in 2008 and is still working on my PC with Windows XP Professional (32bit) running Service Pack 3.
The existing PC was built according to Matrox System requirements:
Intel(R) Core™2 Quad CPU@240GHz with 4GB RAM etc
So all the hardware on the machine is working with RTX2/CS3 without any problems.
I have installed CS4/RTX2 on the same machine and everything shows that it has installed correctly.
In device manager the card and drivers can be seen.
When opening Premiere CS4 the Matrox logo dispays and all the effects and presets can be accessed. The tune does not play when the logo is displayed.
The only problem is that when trying to export a sequence the Matrox Media Encoder option is not available.
When selecting File > Export > the only options available are:
Media
Adobe Clip Notes
Export to EDL
Export to OMF
There seems to be a missing link to activate the Matrox Media Encoder option.
Please help as I paid a lot of money for this hardware/software bundle which does not work.
Regards,
Johan
My RTX2/CS3 software is registered with Adobe as well as Matrox and I will do the same with RTX2/CS4 as soon as I can get them to work.

Media Encoder only using 15% CPU, and system slows to cement

Not sure what's going on, but trying to export from Premiere CS6 to Media Encoder and very basic 640x360 H264 4 minute clips are taking 40 minutes, only using 15-30% CPU (on 2011 Macbook Pro 2.3 core i7), and the system slows to a cement crawl (had to stop it just to type this post). Nothing else is using any CPU and RAM is 25% free.
I don't even know where to begin to troubleshoot. Tried restarting is all so far. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon

It seems there is a problem with the Mercury Playback Engine on my MBP. I turned it off and switched to software only mode, and now CPU is screaming at 750% on export and estimated time is about 8 times faster

Adobe Flash Media Encoder not detecting internal camera

I'm running OS X 10.8.5 and it won't detect the camera. I've installed the latest update from Apple that's suppose to address this error. After installing the new update I reinstalled Adobe Flash Media Encoder and it still doesn't work. The camera is also not being detecting on Skype. Reisntalled this as well. Anyone running into the same problems post update?

Verify that you are using the latest Flash version that works with you system:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
If you need to update, use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions.
Then follow Adobe's instructions here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90893.html
Be sure to uninstall your current Flash player before installing the new one.
Repair permissions again immediately following installation of the updated Flash player.
Be aware that the current Flash Player Preferences can be configured to block your camera in your Mountain Lion Mac's System Preferences. However, you still configure Flash settings as shown here: http://tinyurl.com/5kjv3

Media Encoder not multi-processor capable?

I checked the preferences. Don't see any options to enable
multi-processors. Jobs take forever but they could be going a lot
quicker if they used the full potential of the hardware.
Media Encoder CS4 Version 4.0.0.374
Load average is 1.12
CPU idle is at 85%
The jobs are not being distributed at all.

Here is a shot of my Machine running a 2 hour encode on Media Encoder, notice that one processor is completely maxed out while the other one is completely idle...

Adobe media encoder not available in Photoshop CC - attempting to render animation.

I just downloaded CC about a week ago. I'm running it on a 32 bit Windows 8 PC. I've been trying to export video but the adobe media encoder is gray and unavailable. I can't find any support on this issue. I purchased the photography plan as all I needed was Photoshop. Anyone know what to do? When I try downloading the media encoder from the adobe website, nothing happens.

Unfortunately, video features are not supported for photoshoop cc and cc 2014 on windows 32 bit operating systems.

AppV - Adobe Media Encoder not in default location?

I'm virtualizing Adobe Captivate 5, which includes Adobe Media Encoder. During virtualization, when I launch AME, I get a message:
Adobe Media Encoder is not being run from the default installation location. This is not a supported configuration."
I never changed the installation location for Captivate... it's going to wherever Adobe has it set to go.
After I hit OK (that's my only choice, no "Don't show me this message again") the app seems to be OK... so if there's a way to change a registry key or something and just get rid of that message, that would probably be fine.

Media Encoder not starting from Premiere Pro

I'm having issues Exporting from Premiere Pro - I'd rather queue it through Media Encoder so I can move onto the next edit, but when I select Queue and Media Encoder opens, it doesn't do anything - simply sits there with "Not Currently Encoding" as opposed to importing the data to export.
Help?
Adobe Media Encoder, 6.0.2.81
Also installed other CC products Ps, Pr, Id, Lr, Ai, etc
I have run Adobe Updater but no updates available for Me.
Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion)
I am using Adobe Media Encoder through a Creative Cloud Membership subscription
Project is 6 minute film shot on Sony FS700 (AVCHD) and exports from Premiere Pro
No error message, just no action from the Application
Have not seen the problem before - most of my work is vi Canon 5D MK III, so maybe it's a Sony Codec issue? Though I have exported footage from this camera before though...
Apple MacBook Pro, 17",
I am using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration in Premiere Pro
Cheers

Finally got fed up and rang Adobe (if all else fails...)
Video Support Team Member opened my Library folder (Go\Go to folder...\~/Library/) then went into \Preferences\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\ and changed the folder called 6.0 to 6.0old (i.e. rename it to anything else), then hit Queue in Premiere Pro and the project successfully opened in Media Encoder and was able to start encoding.
Hopefully that helps someone else suffering the same issue!

Media Encoder not finding "audio capture device"

Hi,
Im using Adobe Flash Media Encoder with Dxtory for Twitch streaming, and at first it worked fine. Recorded both my mic and game audio perfectly. Then seemingly suddenly, I fired it up and it wouldn't stream the game audio. It would my Mic, but thats it. I then unplugged the mic and it started saying I had no Audio Capture Device. I checked in Dxtory and its set up the same as it was when it was working. It picks up both the mic and speakers like it should. I have uninstalled this program multiple times, both 3.1 and 3.2 versions, and each time when I re-download it, it loads up the same profile I had before. So when I am uninstalling it, its not uninstalling everything for some reason. Even though the program is no where to be found after its uninstalled. I have downloaded xsplit, and it picks up the game audio and my mic. So its just this program. Anyone have any ideas? I cant seem to find anything online about this issue.
Thanks!

From where? PP sequence? PP bin? PP Source Monitor? Watch folder?

Media encoder not loading

The .exe for media encoder CC is missing from my local computer. I have uninstalled Premiere Pro and Media Encoder using add/remove programs, and then reinstalled Premiere and it is still missing.
Using Win 7, 64 bit, 12gb ram.
Any ideas? Ive looked for another location to download this form but can not find it anywhere.

Hi Mylenium,
thanks for your response.
A recent problem on the computer saw all of the adobe CC .exe files deleted (they were incorrectly marked as malware!).
I did a full uninstall of these apps using the unistall tool.
After uninstalling I used the CC desktop app to reinstall all the apps needed.
The Media Encoder (which I believe should install withh Premiere Pro) was not installed with Premiere.
I unistalled Premiere, restarted the computer and reinstalled Premiere. The Media Encoder again did not install with it.
I assume that there is still a registry entry telling the downloaded that Media Encoder is already installed.

Adobe Media Encoder not launching when I clicked queue in Export Media

Hi guys,
I have been trying for about 3 weeks now trying to render my work using Adobe Media Encoder but it just won't launch as mentioend in my subject line. Upon clicking on queue, the animation showing "preparing data for export" and "exporting data" appeared and disappeared and then nothing happens. Resuming to work on my project in Premiere Pro becomes impossible and a semi-transparent white screen appears over Premiere Pro and it hangs with a message from Windows 7 appearing saying that Premiere Pro has stopped responding.
Here are a few things that I have tried:
Updating all of my softwares included in the Production Premium Suite CS5.5
Deleting all files in the folder C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\5.5
Pressing Ctrl + Alt +Shift and launching Premiere Pro
Pressing Ctrl + Alt +Shift and launching Adobe Media Encoder
Opening sequence in Adobe Media Encoder to try to render
Called up Adobe Asia Pacific only to be told that I will charged something like USD$39 if they were to help me
Disabling Mercury Engine Playback capability
The only work around I'm doing now is to copy the files to another computer and rendering from there.
Can anyone else suggest another way or point me in the right direction please?
My com's specs are as follow:
Windows 7 Premium 64-bit Operating System
16Gb RAM
Intel Core i7 CPU [email protected]
System type: 64-bit Operating System
Display Adapter: nVidia GeForce GTX560Ti
Many thanks people.

The X58 platform uses triple channel memory mode if you use 3 or 6 memory sticks, but if you use 4 slots, memory will only be used in single or dual channel mode, depending on which slots are occupied. Amount of memory has more impact than the mode used, but you may get better performance from 24 GB (6 x 4 GB).
However, I don't think that will solve your issue. Having only two disks is minimum. Adding a disk can certainly help, see Adobe Forums: Generic Guideline for Disk Setup
Have you turned of indexing and compression on both disks, have you uninstalled the sidebar, MSN and games? Have you disabled unneeded services, etc.?
It says Vista but also applies to Win7: Adobe Forums: Guide for installing and tuning a Vista...
DSLR material is usually HD, but .VOB files are SD, so there is a lot of scaling going on when exporting. Make sure you have enabled hardware MPE. Also have a look at Adobe Forums: System requirements for CS5

Media encoder not working

I have two ProRes timelines about 90 minutes each in length and when I try to export using "match Sequence Setting" or if I try to export to a DVD format, in ME they fail immediately with this code:
- Encoding Time: 00:00:00
12/06/2014 11:54:01 AM : Encoding Failed
A low-level exception occurred in: QuickTime (Exporter)
Export Error
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
I can export them directly from Premier with no issue to ProRes and to the DVD MPEG2 format. I cleaned the media Cache, so I'm not sure what I should do next. Also reinstalled Premier and Media Encoder.

Thanks, I should have dug a little deeper before posting here.
For anyone else who might have this problem here is the exact steps I took to resolve this.
1.Close all Adobe applications.
2.In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. (If you installed Premiere Pro CS4 in a location other than the default of C:\Program Files\Adobe, then navigate to your custom installation location.)
3.Right-click on Adobe Premiere Pro.exe (which might appear without the .exe extension) and choose Create Shortcut.
4.Rename the newly created shortcut to just Premiere.
Important: The name of the shortcut must be exactly Premiere with no other characters.
5.Open a second Windows Explorer window, and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
6.Move the Premiere shortcut that you created into the dynamiclink folder.
Thanks again. Hope this helps others as well.
