Not Using All CPUs

Does anyone know why Premiere Pro CS6 (Windows) is only using 4 CPUs when I have 24 on my Mac Pro? I am running Windows 7 Professional on Bootcamp. I have 48GB of RAM. I am importing JPEGs stills and creating a sequence but it is moving very slow. Thanks!

Go to PROJECT SETTINGS on File>Edit>Project , you can choose Mercury GPU Acceleration or Software only..
I run all 4 Cores. We only use Windows Professional 7, you should have no issues with 640x480 as we use only 1920 x 1080 and no more than 2,000 for a high definition blu-ray production ; but no more than say 200 edited Imported images reduced to high definition quality, at a time, as I think Photoshop may not be able to function above that limit ? Well Adobe Photoshop Elements does not...............................................
All our images come from a Canon 5D Mark II converted from RAW to jpeg at full resolution, then reduced to 1920 x 1080 pixels HD for Blue-ray.
Good luck !
Ps. We do not use the Apple Macs as we had a lot of issues when we were editing Professional anamorphic HD 1440 x 1080P from a Firewire connection, but no issues with a PC.

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.

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.

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,

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?

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
                              5420 MB inactive....11.2 MB free
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.

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:
Win7pro
EVGA X58FTW mobo
I7 970
6x4gig Kingston hyperX 1600 RAM
Quadro fx4000
WD 140gig Raptor sys. drive
2x1TB RAID 0 (3gig SATA) data
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:
Thanks for looking.

Lightroom 6 / CC2015 - Facial Recognition Terribly Slow, not using all of CPU or GPU, still keeps going when paused.

This is actually a couple of issue but wondering if others are experiencing it and worked through it.
I am using a Dual Xeon CPU 3.2 ghz Mac Pro, Catalog on SSD, Images files on Mirrored Pair, Dedicated GPU (max I can install in my version of Mac Pro) and hardware acceleration enabled in Lightroom.
I watched the Lightroom 6 Facial Recognition tutorial which leaves out a lot of the bulk editing and says basically let it loose on your whole catalog.. NOT recommended.
I started out with a couple small portrait galleries that identified a couple hundred total people to seed facial recognition so it didn't suggest everyone is the first person I confirmed (which it will do otherwise). I have also optimized my catalog multiple times.
I have encountered the following serious performance issues and bugs with Facial Recognition.:
Lightroom Facial Recognition goes to a ridiculous crawl after about 2000 images to be confirmed. (i.e. 2000-2300 in a couple hours, 800-1200 in the next 12 hours)
Lightroom becomes largely unresponsive after having a fair number of images to be confirmed, even after pausing Address and Facial Recognition. So even selecting 4 rows of images can take 5 minutes with several long pauses.
Once I select and click confirm it takes up to 2 minutes to update the "to be confirmed" list again.
When I click on an individual at the top of the page, pause facial recognition and address lookup it still continues to "Look for similar faces" [BUG!!!!!!!!] even though all I want to do is just confirm some individuals more quickly in bulk with the images already identified.. not continue to look for more as a work around for the painfully slow responsiveness of the module.
The odd part is that with all of the performance issues Lightroom will not use more than 20-30% of my two Xeon CPUs, barely touches my GPU (<10% CPU, 30% memory), my and no more than 35% of my memory. Computer Temps are also barely above startup temperatures and 15-25 degrees cooler than when I run other applications which will consume my entire CPU and memory if I let it. I have explored Lightroom's settings but seen nothing further I can configure to speed it all up. I have also attempted the operation on images on the SSD, my drobo (known to be slow), an independent fast disk I have, and a pair of raided disks and have the same issues.
I will also note that all of my other applications seem to continue to operate just fine.. the slowness seems to be contained to the Lightroom application itself.

Anyone have any suggestions?

A big problem continues to be that once you wait for it to index all your faces you find it missed over half of them. There are many cases where it missed the subject of the photo but managed to find a tiny waiter off in the shadows. I don't know how this will ever get fixed; it seems it'll require an update that lets you rerun the indexing a few times, maybe with different levels of granularity. I doubt that's coming.
It stands to reason that a system that hands you thousands of false positives for every face can't recognize if something is or isn't a face in over half the cases. Faces in profile or tilted down, especially with the eyes looking down, are bypassed completely. I have directories with a thousand people shots in them, many with multiple people, and instead of LR6 returning an index of 1.5k or so, it gives me 385. I'm not sure how valuable the search advantages will be in this case; I can see it not returning some favorite shots of people.
Anyway, for anyone looking to get past the spinning wheels, work on one directory at a time. Then once a directory is done, keep it selected so you have the same thumbnails of identified faces in the confirmed area, and control-select the next directory. You won't have to reseed the confirmed faces area this way and things move much faster when you're not working with the entire library. It also helps to click each person in the confirmed faces and work in that view sometimes. It'll return faces of family members of that person and you can rename those. You can watch it focus its top results as you confirm but, annoyingly, it doesn't narrow the total suggestions but actually expands them the more faces you confirm and the fewer correct positives remain. (This seems opposite to how it should work. It should give you fewer faces the more you confirm as it gets a better idea what the person looks like and has fewer shots left unconfirmed of that person.) Yet, even with the expanded results, faces will still escape it and pop up in other people's results as false positives.
Bottom line: It's only a little better than manual tagging, and not as thorough because of the poor hit rate of the initial indexing. But it works better if you stick to isolated directories and occasionally individual people. At least that way you don't have to wait for it to re-sort tens of thousands of results with every click.

Quad Processor Not Using All Four Procs?

Hi All,
I am using a Quad-G5 2.5Ghz with 4.5 GB of DDR2 SDRAM, 10.4.8.
When I do an encoding with Compressor and open up Activity Monitor, the process hovers around 240%. The next highest processes use between 1-5%, and way down below it says about 38-42% of the CPU is idle.
I have similar results doing any processor-intensive function. I understand not ALL programs can take advantage of the processors, but I am 99.99% sure the Apple Final Cut ones can.
Any suggestions to use all the processor power? Doing a PAL->NTSC conversion takes long enough; it's really bad only using 55% of the total CPU power....
Thanks,
Jason
G5 Quad 2.5Ghz, 30inch Cinema HD Display Mac OS X (10.4.8)

A lot of it depends on the input and output codecs as well. Some are more heavily optimized than others. It also depends on the version of Final Cut Studio you have. The UB version takes better advantage of multiple CPUs than the non-UB version does. So, if you're using Compressor 2.1 or greater, you'll see better performance than if you're using Compressor 2.0.1 or earlier.
For example, encoding a DV movie to MPEG-2 on my Quad will use up to 370% or so with Compressor 2.3. Encoding a movie that uses the Animation codec to MPEG-2 with Compressor 2.3 takes much longer. Granted, the data rate of the Animation codec is much greater than that of the DV codec, but the CPUs are not nearly as well utilized.

AE CS5 not using all memory and cpu

I am using After Effects CS5, wondering why the rendering is not using my CPU and memory full. It`s using only 15 % of memory and sometimes up to 50 % of CPU. What can I do to make it use better my hardware.
The current rendering is chroma key using Keylight.
I understand it can`t use all the hardware, but why only 15 %, because everybody is talking that you need a lot of RAM for AE.
CPU: Intel Core i7 920 - overclocked to 3.4 GHz
MEMORY: 6 GB DDR3
GRAPHIC: nVidia GTX 285

Not all rendering operations will max out all RAM and all CPUs (processor cores). Some rendering operations are I/O intensive; some are memory-intensive; some are CPU-intensive. If, for example, I/O is the bottleneck, then you won't see either CPU or RAM usage maxed.
Also, the goal isn't to see that 100% of the CPU and 100% of of RAM is being used. The goal is faster rendering (and other operations). Sometimes greatest performance is achieved when there's "headroom" left over for other activity. See this page.
Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing? That is one feature that really benefits from having a lot of RAM. The 6GB of RAM that you have in your system is not enough to make effective use of that feature. See this page.
Here's a page that collects information about how to optimize for performance.

Can not use all these apps

Creative Cloud is a terrific service, but, I can't use all these apps because I either don't need or want them, or, I can't understand how to do things with them. The only app I am able to make any use of is the Premiere program with Encoder and Encore.
Is it possible to subscribe only to Premiere for a much reduced monthly payment ??????
steve
www.homemovies.ca

Actually, I was just doing some simple math.
SO - what happens if I drop to just the one PP CS6 app – or cancel the service now and switch to upgrade instead ? Do I have to pay some sort of cancellation fee ?
Re: the simple math I just worked out:
Let's see, full Cloud access to all 17 apps $ 34.64 including taxes and exchange rate - number of apps 17 - only 1 of which I vaguely understand how to use and want
for a total cost this first year's subscription of $ 415.44 - which then doubles for the 2nd year.
Arguably --- $ 34.64 divided by 17 = $ 2.04 per app
but apparently I would have to pay about $ 23.08 for just the one premiere pro CS6 app ?
That's $ 276.96 for the 1st year, then the 2nd year doubles in cost from that.
I can upgrade from PP CS5.5 to PP CS6 for $ 172.06 and save a tonne of money I don't have.
Ok - Creative Cloud does NOT work for me -- the way they price it --- really really really really really really really really really really really sucks
The Creative Cloud services would be terrific IF I could understand and use all those apps, but, for just the one and only app I can vaguely understand and use - the cost really sucks.
but i gotta give them credit for figuring all that out so they're the big winners no matter what we do nor how bad their programs are.

Photoshop CS6 not using all available computer memory [was:Hello all]

I have the creative cloud trial version, and when I use photoshop cs6 it will not allow me to use all of the memory. I would love any help that can be offered.

Sound like you starting the 32 bit version of Photoshop on a Windows system. If you have a 64 bit Windows system both the 32bit version and the 64bit version of CS6 is installed. Look in you start button you should sett two CS6 start icons one for each version. Only the 64 Bit version can use more than 4GB of Ram.

Upgraded to 8GB RAM - Windows 7 64-Bit Not Using All of It

I just upgraded my 3.02GHz MacbookPro to 8GB RAM and in both Mac and Windows (64-Bit) it acknowledges that I have 8GB installed. However in Windows 7's task manager it shows:
Total Physical Memory 8167MB
Cached 4500MB
Available 4557MB
Free 91MB
and it shows I'm only using 3.51GB....Why only 91MB free? In Adobe Illustrator I am getting not enough RAM errors so it seems like Windows 7 is tapping out at the old 4GB ceiling. Anyone know if this is a setting that is easily modified so I can use all 8GB?
Thanks!

mine too same time as well

Macbook Pro not using all available resources

Hey All,
I have a MacBook Pro with Retina Display (Late 2013) with the 750M and 16 GB RAM. I monitor most of my resource stats with MenuMeters and I've been noticing that it doesn't use all the available power to complete a given task, I assume to save battery life. What I'm wondering is, can i change some settings to allow my processor to run faster (not overclock, just use a higher percentage of available CPU power)? For example, I was updating league of legends, and the launcher was scanning itself to check for discrepancies. It took a minute or two and I noticed that my CPU percentage hovered around 20-25% and my SSD read speeds were not even close to the theoretical maximum (I've got the PCI-e interface). Is it just poor programming that doesn't let my computer work its hardest? I feel like I have a Porsche with governor on it.

Expanding on the above, with 64-bit systems like Mountain Lion, RAM becomes critical. 4GB is a bare minimum. And will fall short if you add a few hungry apps. What happens then? Unix's fallback for low RAM conditions kicks in: virtual memory. The system tries to simulate what it does not have: extra "RAM" in the shape of a chunk of hard disk space where unneded stuff gets dumped to free real RAM. Now the system starts to lag as it desperately tries to guess which part of stuff in RAM can be moved to the disk and waits till the slow disk operation concludes. Worst case is when space runs out in the drive and all comes crashing down.
So, upgrade and give the big cat at least 8GB RAM. Can go up to 16GB. And always leave AT LEAST 10% of the drive empty.
Lastly, if you want to know what your cores and threads are up to, start up Activity Monitor. Click on the CPU tab at the bottom part of the window. Then double-click on the CPU graph. A new window will pop open, showing the load on each thread the CPU can handle concurrently.

Not using all the ram

Hi!
I"m wondering, I have FCE exporting a video while iMovie is importing one. I see that my Macbook is only using 750 mg of ram. How come it doesn't use the whole 2 gigs?

There are no options that cover RAM usage in the Energy Saver System Preferences. In fact, with a MacBook, you can't even select "better performance" usage of your processor. This functionality is built-in to the processor and there is no GUI for adjusting it in Mac OS X. So, there are no options you can configure to alter the amount of RAM used or not used with Mac OS X, it's all automatic.
