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...

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.

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.

Premiere Pro is not reading all of the video content in my AVCHD clip. I know this because my computer plays all of the content through Preview, so the information is on the card. How do I get Premiere to read all of the content?

Premiere Pro is not reading all of the video content in my AVCHD clip. I know this because my computer plays all of the content through Preview, so the information is on the card. How do I get Premiere to read all of the content?

First, AVCHD isn't just "one" clip, it splits the video & audio into several files each per clip, typically with randomly generated names. The only way they "play" correctly is if the software doing so is able to read from the data file ...in a different folder ... the information that X clip is actually A, B, D, #@, and 456 video clips and TR, #r54, and ert$%4 audio clips. The next "clip" is ... and on and on. So both rapid access to the video files AND that database file are necessary to play the files back, or do anything else with them.
VLC is a fairly decent but simple playback tool. It's nowhere near as complicated nor demanding in its "relationship" with those clips as an NLE like PrPro, which will be trying to do more reading & writing.
Further, many of the preferences in PrPro are natively set so that it writes project, cache, preview, & database files next to the footage. So ... if it doesn't have both a fast enough connection with the data AND space for putting all of it's own stuff there, it tells you it can't work the file.
Therefore ... the need to have the complete data from the card in the exact same folder structure it was in ON the card copied to a "local" hard drive.

Premiere Pro Does Not Support Audio-Only Capture For Some Formats, Such As HDV?

In the PPro CS 5.5 Help file under, "Recording audio", it says:
"Note: To capture an audio-only file from a digital video source, choose Audio from the Capture menu in the Logging pane of the Capture panel.
"Premiere Pro does not support audio-only capture for some formats, such as HDV."
I'm shooting in HDV and if I want to capture audio only, would I just need to switch my setting to DV?
The only thing is my Canon HV20's HDV audio is MPEG-1 Audio Layer 2, 16 bit, 48 kHz.
My DV setting is PCM audio, which I think is a better quality format, right?
Would there be any noticeable difference?
Thanks.

Capture your HDV material in the normal way and just drag audio only from the source monitor to the timeline.

Why does FCP not use the quad Processors for rendering

Hi. I notice the other day when I renderd out a rather long project that FCP does not use all available processors. I notice on some effects that it uses the graphics card and non of the processors. It there a reason for this and is there a way to make better use of the quad core in rendering both audio and video files.
Thanks

Good question. I've been asking around off forum looking for an answer too. Motion is a big one for me. I'd love to have it render out with all 4. But then again, it's not meant to be a render engine. Both FCP and Motion are now becoming more GPU intensive.
Now... COMPRESSOR uses all 4 at the same time.

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 & Media Encoder only using all cores of only 1 CPU

After following the recommendation of the Adobe White Paper on Premiere and Media Encoder I purchased a dual Xeon machine. It has dual 2699 v3 processors each with 18 physical cores. Both Premiere and Media encoder will max out 36 cores (18 physical and 18 Virtual) but only on one CPU, the other CPU sits idle. Everything I read is that Premiere and Media Encoder are multi-processor not just multi-core aware. When I run Cinebench I get 100% across both processors (72 cores maxed out). I do a ton of 6K Red work and I bought this machine to speed up my rendering times but so far I would have been better off with a single CPU machine as Premiere and Media Encoder seem to only run on CPU at a time. Please HELP!!!!

This has been driving me CRAZY... so going over the message boards from 2 to 5 am this morning I found the best explanation I have seen. The problem is that Adobe Creative Cloud is NOT "Processor Group Aware". Windows parses any more than 36 cores into "Processor Groups" and while the Pro version of Windows 7 & 8 can handle 256 threads they have to spread them across multiple processor groups.
Simple Version: AREA | How many cores does 3ds Max support?
Microsoft's Explanation: Processor Groups (Windows)
Clearly, this is an Adobe Problem... If any engineers are reading this PLEASE review the below and incorporate it into your next build of Creative Cloud!!!
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn653313%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Again, I bought a VERY expensive machine based on your white paper that recommended Dual Xeon Workstations. Please, Please Give us the product you PROMISED!!!

Premiere pro is not appeared in Creative Cloud for free trial

I tried to use free trial of Adoebe Premiere pro, so I downloaded Creative cloud.
But when I logged into Creative Cloud to download it, I couldn't find "Premiere Pro" on the list of apps in Creative Cloud.
Can you tell me how can I find Premiere Pro app and start to use free trial?

If an application does not appear in the programs list, it normally means your machine does not meet the system requirements for the software. Here is a link to find out the Premiere Pro requirements:

Premiere Pro CC is using all my Macintosh HD drive space when conforming footage!!

I left my computer running last night and when I came back this morning I only had 500mb left on my start up drive. When I shut down Premiere CC I started to get back the space on the drive. Searching the internet I found some solutions like cleaning the cache and setting the Media Cashe files and Media Cache Database files to my external drive, which I did. I even went back into CS6 (which I still have installed) and cleaned out the cache from there aswell. I did get all the storage space back onto my drive after doing all of this and closing Premier. But now I've opened premier again and as it is conforming the footage it is still occupying loads of space on my Mac HD startup disk. I've tried everything I've found online and nothing seems to stop it from using space up from this drive. Im using the latest version of Premier CC v7.2.1
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks.

I just found this thread as i am having the same exact issue. I've set all media cache folders to my external drive too. When premiere conforms files on launch it is creating the files on my media drive but at the same time i am noticing the space on my hard drive is being reduced as well. I even did a complete wipe of my OS and reinstall. Interestingly, as was the case with pablinksi13, there were no Media Cache and Media Cache Files Folders on my system drive in the default location either. I don't have this problem on my laptop. Nor have i ever had this issue before. Was wondering if you guys have learned anything new since this thread was created. Thanks in advance.

Premiere Pro CC not using previews on export

I'm using PP CC on a decked out iMac(i7, 32Gb RAM, 14TB RAID, internal SSD) and my exports are very slow even when "use previews" is checked. Thing is, I don't think PP is using those previews. During the export I can see that aerendercore and importerREDserver are running. The sequence is already rendered so it shouldn't be pulling in the raw files from the red server or going to AE to render the linked ae comps. Right?

I've been through this discussion before ... talk about deja vu all over again!
The best explanation I have received was at NAB, with two of the heavy-lifter behind-the-scenes staff of Adobe's video programs. Long and involved discussion, one of those where for about the next ten minutes I felt very enlightened on video processing, codecs, and computer hardware design & usage. And then reverted to a normal human status over the next hour. Ah well.
Basically, there's only a couple 'codecs' where it is even possible to utilize previews in a render-out full export. They're huge puppies and most of us don't have the massive-capable machines that can handle that stuff on the fly for editing purposes. As to the rest ... remember, PrPro is like Lightroom, NOT Photoshop. It never makes a complete new 'file' when 'saved' like say Photoshop does, but only stores the info of the changes you have called for to be applied to the original footage, similar to Lightroom. And note, just as Lightroom can create p-views of various sizes up to 1-1, it never utilizes those highly-compressed p-views when you want to create or "export" a final form of the image for use. It takes the recipe of what you've ordered done to the original image and creates a version of that image with that look in the size and file-format (think codec) of your choosing. Which has nothing to do with the file-format (codec) of the internal-use p-view, even a 1-1 p-view.
When viewing a monitor during PrPro, Sg, & AeFx, that's what you're seeing: the original footage with your changes added to it on the fly ... for the most part. In all three programs there are things complex enough that it will create new viewable bits & pieces but in very few situations will it ever completely create a new run of footage. You'd howl if it did ... think of the massive increase of stuff on your drives if it behaved that way! The bits it stores as "Previews" are neither complete new forms of your original footage nor are they of the quality you'd want or the particular nature of pixel-structure for any specific codec you want an output prepared into.
When you render sections, or even entire clips/sequences for previews it renders those frames and sections of frames that are problematic into an internally-chosen codec that is quick for it to use on the fly and looks ok, and constantly intermixes those bits with original frame and the 'recipe' of what is being called for. It does NOT make an entirely new & complete form of the original footage with all changes applied.
Apparently, there has been discussion internally as to whether the "Use previews for export" button should simply disappear unless you are using one of about two video formats that actually "live" in PrPro as full-res/size files. I asked why this hadn't been done, and the response was ... it's been considered. It would save a lot of hassle, grief, and arguments if they did, is what I'm thinking. The vast majority of us don't have one of those rigs that's like four super-Macs built into one "single" computer. Or a mobo with 8 different quad-or-better core cpu's, that sort of thing. We're not working directly in the formats that need such hardware.

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.

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.

Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again.

I have administrator rights to the computer. The drivers are up to date. But I am still getting the error message "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again" when opening Premier Pro CS5.5. This appears to have happed after I upgraded to Mac OS 10.10.2.
Anyone?
Thanks

Hi Stan.
I had the same problem as you did though I am using Adobe CC. I saw nobody replied to you so perhaps my eventual success on my later version may have applications to the error on your version.
Anyhow, I did all the suggestions found here (Error "Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules" | Startup ) first and updated my NVidea card to no avail. Eventually what did the trick was this...
After mucking about with the video card, I said "OK lets just have a go at Premiere itself." So I uninstalled Premiere CC and reinstalled it. Now for some reason it didn't give me the latest patch but a slightly earlier version than the current one but lo and behold it was fine with the video card again. I was able to get my friend's video imported and quickly edited but then was having some issues with exporting where it would hang up but I went into Adobe Media Encoder and exported it there without a care. That task out of the way, I then went and made the update to the latest patch and it works perfectly fine - no video driver issues.
So short of it is this - if you've updated your drivers, perhaps what you could try uninstalling and reinstalling Premiere.
Let me know if this works.
Cheers and good luck
