Why doesn't Pr use my CPU's cores while rendering/exporting without strange workarounds?

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me understand this. I just finished working on a project that utilized a late 2013 maxed out MacBook Pro, a late 2013 maxed out iMac, and a late 2008 maxed out MacBook Pro all using the latest Mavericks OSX and monitoring with iStat Menus. In each of them, when I rendered or exported a timeline, Pr (and Ae and AME for that matter) would not utilize my CPU's cores until I started opening programs and browsing webpages. And if I stopped doing that, the the CC programs would disengage and the core usage would go down to almost nothing.
This was frustrating to say the least, but I was under a deadline and couldn't see how I could fix it (especially because it happened on three very different computers).
Now that I have time, I still can't figure it out. Has anyone else experienced these issues? They are intensely annoying because when I set a project to render or export, I can't be having to baby the program to do its job.

CPU usage depends on the effects you are using, the bandwidth of your system, and several other factors. When you have a machine with a bunch of fast cores and a bunch of memory the bottle neck that slows things down may become the read write speed of your hard drives.
You can try different memory and processor allocaions in the preferences file. Here are some resources for the optimum settings.

Why doesn't Apple use 7200RPM hard drives??

People seem to upgrade their MacBooks to faster drives with no problems, so why doesn't Apple use or at least offer faster drives in the MacBook?

It's an entry level laptop - so you get an entry
level drive to work perfectly well with it.
And I **love it**!!!! Other than the plastics and case design (how often have I griped about THAT) that houses the electronics, this computer is simply awesome!

If OWC SSD drives are so good, why doesn't Apple use them?

I see a lot of positive reviews for OWC SSD drives, but I am curious as to why Apple does not use them if they are so good.
Any thoughts?

All SSD's are not created equal. Further it's been shown that the NAND chips are NOT the critical factor, even the controller chips (SandForce vs Marvel, etc) aren't the sole speed determinant of speed as with identical NAND and controllers firmware plays a significant role.
Apple's first SSD's in MBA were very slow, the 2010 MBA SSDs were much faster (nearing 200MB/s), but still well below what was the top of the line of last years SSDs. This year's generation of SSDs are just showing up capable of 500+MB/s. I haven't seen a review of the 2011 MBP SSDs, but I'd imaging they're on par with last years.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/3991/apples-2010-macbook-air-11-13inch-reviewed/4
The point of all this is to say, there are now very high end and very low end SSDs on the market, and huge price differentials... since Apple doesn't detail the specs of bundled drives we won't know until someone publishes benchmarks.

Why doesn't iMovie use ProRes 422 or native instead of AIC

Does anybody know why apple still uses AIC to transcode all captured video streams instead of ProRes 422? And why does it transcode in the first place? Why can't they use the native HDV or AVCHD streams?
I know that using native HDV, and especially AVCHD, loads the processor with all the decoding, but it should at least be an option for high-end machines. HDV editing on FCP works fine and the storage requirements go down to between 1/3 and 1/8 of what it is with AIC and ProRes.
I think the ideal workflow would be to capture in the native format, edit in the native format when no re-compression is necessary and only render to ProRes when effects/titles/filters are applied.
Is it just too much development work or is there an architectural consideration from the development group to force everything through AIC for some reason?
Is it a licensing issue? Does Apple pay royalties for ProRes for every FCP sale? Would it be prohibitively expensive to distribute ProRes with iLife?
Obviously only someone from the iMovie group would be able to answer all of these questions but we may be able to gather some insights from the community to get a better picture.

I understand that the iMovie and FCP teams at Apple have been, hitherto, completely independent.
FCP was bought in - under a different original name - and tweaked from its original incarnation before being offered as 'Final Cut Pro' by Apple. See the section marked "History" in this Wikipedia article.
iMovie, however, was written long ago to Steve Jobs' specifications by Glenn Reid as a simple video editor for amateurs.
The ProRes codec appears to have been created separately from the Apple Intermediate Codec of iMovie ..probably because of different programmers' responsibilities for the separate programs ..although, under the 'Terms of Use', we're not supposed to speculate here in Apple Discussions.
HDV and AVCHD, being extremely 'compressed' methods of storing video, similar to the MPEG-2 format used for squeezing long movies onto small DVDs, cannot be edited 'frame-accurately' directly, as most of the video frames rely on data stored in other frames for their content. In other words, the 1st frame of fifteen frames contains a whole frame's worth of data, but the next 14 contain only differences between the first frame of a group and the subsequent frames.
So there needs to be a method to 'unscramble' or extract the data from the next few frames after the first of each group, in order to reconstitute the rest of the frames for editing them.
AIC is the method used in iMovie. ProRes is the method chosen for FCP.
It's interesting, though, that Randy Ubillos, now 'Chief Architect - Video Applications' at Apple, and the "onlie true begetter" of what later became Final Cut Pro, was the man who demonstrated iMovie '09 at last month's MacWorld Keynote. So if Randy's on hand to explain how to use iMovie, and created the new-style iMovie, then maybe we'll see some more convergence occur. (..iMovie has already taken on board FCP's "instant rendering", so that we no longer have to wait for transitions to be rendered within iMovie, but can see the results immediately. iMovie's real "behind the scenes" rendering now takes place during export, after after editing's finished..)

Why doesn't SAP use SAPUI5 for this and that

This is my personal opinion about this topic! Again and again I stumble about this and now I want to share some of my thoughts about this topic. I want to share this from a point of view, when I was not a SAP Employee - I worked at a SAP Partner company - because this best reflects the view from the outside.
1. SAP "wants" us to use SAPUI5
I don't think that "wants" is the right word - the right word is offers! In terms of: hey now even included in your license and open sourced (because you wanted it so). Look - we build sooo many Fiori apps with it - and put in some great enterprise features (right to left, accessibility, translation, ...) and it is responsive. So if you want to build Fiori-like "apps" - there you go - this is your technology to go! This is what I understood.
I was very very very happy that it was build with open standards. But the main point for me another thing - (because I worked with Sybase Unwired Platform and SAP Mobile Platform) OMG an open data protocol!!! OData FTW! I could use ANY front-end technology and consume SAP data - the protocol is REST based - a dream came true. And so I did - yes I played around with Sencha Touch and OData, I used data.js and used it in a standard HTML5 application. We played around with an iOS application we already had and consumed the data. I feed the data into d3.js. I prototyped around with SAPUI5 and I have build apps with it. Brilliant, so I could choose whatever UI technology I wanted.
I always had the feeling, that SAPUI5 was meant for B2E applications - and building many of that - and they should look and feel the same and I can theme the apps. I can use it when I want to make my applications SAP like - so that the user thinks the apps are all the same and everything fits nicely into the Fiori launchpad - great if you want to build partner apps. In my ex company we won a SAP Pinnacle Award - for a native iOS app, no SAPUI5 in sight - but we have received an award, so SAP did not "want us" to use SAPUI5 ;-)
2. Is it the right UI technology for everything?
At my ex-company I was dealing with mobile applications and web apps. I always knew that I get the best user experience when I write a real native application and if you want it to look like in a very specific way with awesome UI --> you would not do it with a write-once-run-everywhere HTML5 super-styled wrapped (phone gap/cordova) app - you would write the apps for the specific platform and it should feel like it was written for the platform. SAP offered us the SAP Fiori Client that I could enhance the user experience for the Fiori apps, but I was never told to use SAPUI5 it for everything.
The same discussion goes on with: why was the new SAP website not build with SAPUI5, or the UX Explorer (eat your own dog food), or a useful internal app - why Angular, or the other way around why do we even use SAPUI5 and not Angular JS itself. Back to the past - SAP did never tell me to build a website with it, or to build something tiny and small with it (a widget) - or to enhance parts of a website with it - or to build something super-specific with it.
And yes maybe the UI in a mobile app was not SAPUI5 but do you know if it uses Gateway with OData or the SAP Mobile Platform, was the API managed with Apigee, was HCI involved in getting the data from different sources, was it maybe wrapped with SAP Mobile Secure, did it maybe use a HANA backend or some of its features (predictions, text analytics, ...) - are some backend parts maybe hosted on HCP - who knows? So yeah, maybe other SAP technology was involved which you don't see, but in the end it made your life simpler.
Instead of arguing around why this and that was used for this and that - can we save our energy and instead look at the result - which is all what counts - that it was the right UI technology with the right user interface which makes the user happy? I stated something like - does Google use AngularJS for everything? Nope. They offer us something great we can use. Right, maybe AngularJS is not as important for Google like SAPUI5 is for us. But we have something with which we can build our day-to-day business apps with and we do so.
3. We missed great opportunity in not using SAPUI5 for this and that
Let's think about how projects are going: you want something, you look at the costs, you choose most efficient option. Yes this could mean reusing an existing native application which was written long ago and you pimped it up. Or you had outsourced it to a company which wrote a similar app. Or you bought the source code. Or you have some cheap internal staff which could do it (students, trainee), or you could outsource it cheaply. Or all you have is people with experience in this and that technology. Or it must look in a very very specific way (because marketing says so) and you go native. Or it maybe should even differentiate itself and should look NOT like a Fiori app. And no - I don't think - this is my employees view - we are not for example an event app producer. We normally build business applications. And I don't think that we can write an app from scratch "just" for an event in a certain technology. Yes it would be nice if this and that would use SAPUI5, I think if it would be possible in terms of time and costs and UI wishes and hundreds of other factors we would do it with SAPUI5.
Working at the partner SAP showed me over 50 Fiori apps, now hundreds of Fiori apps are released. SAP now showed that SAPUI5 is going big with S/4HANA. We have seen the Simple Finance solution. I was walking around at the CeBIT this year and I was impressed myself which cool apps and screens have been shown with SAPUI5. I used the SAPUI5 app on a Samsung Smart Watch myself. The SAP Web IDE itself is built with SAPUI5 in its heart. I don't need any other "proves" that SAPUI5 is great. I have seen great use cases for it, but I also know myself when I would use other stuff.
4. My conclusion
There is never every anything which can cover all different use cases. One-size-fits-all clothes also does not fit for everyone even if it says so. If someone creates something great don't judge it by the UI technology. Judge it by the experience and the value it creates. There are reasons why this and that was chosen. Use what fits your needs best with your requirements. Make the end user happy!

Hey Denise,
Thanks for pulling this discussion into SCN. Makes it much easier to discuss compared to Twitter. But I also have to apologize in the beginning that my answer now exceeds 140 characters by 50 times.
Let me share my thoughts and personal opinion as well. I will try to look at it from a strategic point of view, as you – as the technical UI5 expert - have already covered the technical perspective.
SAP recommends using SAPUI5 where it fits to customers’ requirements
Let me begin with a clear statement from my perspective: It makes no sense that SAP takes customer decisions.
Of course, customers expect SAP to help them with their strategies and decisions and of course we are helping. But at the end, the decisions have to be taken by the customer who needs to take the specific conditions of the company into account. The most important condition in the context of UX is the end user. But we shouldn't forget the business strategy as the most important influence factor. I’m not saying that technical decisions are completely unimportant, but I would like to point out that other things are more important for a company.
As a result, it wouldn't make a lot of sense if SAP would just want every customer to use SAPUI5. To me, customers need recommendations leading to solutions that satisfy their needs and requirements.
There is not that one UI technology that serves all needs
This headline might be a challenging statement and I can already imagine reactions to it. But in fact I can confirm this sentence easily. You always have to combine different technologies. Some of them are from SAP others not. The selection and combination of these technologies is different from customer to customer because the requirements are different. There are still reasons to use Web Dynpro ABAP and I’m still recommending SAP NetWeaver Business Client, POWL (Power Lists), WDA Chips, FPM based on the given environment of the customer. And obviously there are also reasons for UI5.
SAP already proves the usage of SAPUI5
In general, I see two different use cases here: Developing custom applications vs. adopting applications from SAP.
In the one case, customers want recommendations on development environments and UI technologies that consider their development requirements and existing conditions (e.g. existing skills, given implementations). SAPUI5 is a great UI technology and there are some special aspects that make the decision obviously easy. If I want to create simple business applications that can be connected with my SAP system easily, especially in combination under responsive conditions on multiple devices and targeted for casual and/or occasional users UI5 might be the right choice for many. Exactly this pattern is what many customers are searching for these days. So, the recommendation for UI5 comes quite often.
Whether or not SAP proves the usage of SAPUI5 in their own world is to me more connected to the use case where customers want to adopt SAP applications. And in deed, SAP is using SAPUI5. There are hundreds of SAP Fiori applications that have been built with SAPUI5 and there have been a lot of other applications developed using SAPUI5, too. And again, there is a huge need for applications for casual and/or occasional users, so that’s a big reason for SAP to create such applications.
Websites vs. Business Applications
This discussion was triggered by some statements in twitter, that SAP sites such as sap.com, SAP UX Explorer or the latest mobile conference app are not developed using UI5. Actually I see these to be websites but not business applications. I have never told a customer to build a website in UI5 and I would continue to do so.
Maybe we need to discuss the difference between a website and a business application. I guess it is not easy to find a common understanding here, as the borderlines between several worlds have disappeared in the last years.
Some years ago it was more or less easy to differ between:
Native desktop applications running on a specific desktop OS
Native mobile applications running on a specific mobile OS
Browser-based applications running in specific browsers
Websites, basically running on many browsers
In the first three categories we saw business applications. 1 and 2 were selected especially when specific functions of the device and OS where needed to be accessed (for example the camera of the mobile device, the fast rendering capability of the desktop). 3 was also used for business applications but in most cases on desktop browsers.
Today, one can develop browser-based applications that look like native applications and even can access the devices like native applications. Responsive design breaks the borderlines even more. Now, browser-based content can be rendered perfectly on a desktop browser as well as on a mobile phone and a user might even not be able to judge whether it was originally intended to be developed for the one or the other.
So maybe there is no big difference anymore between websites and browser-based applications. But there is still a difference between browser-based applications and browser-based business applications, where additional requirements such as integration into business systems are drivers. Here I see SAPUI5 as a very cool UI technology.
That’s just my 2 (personal) cents,
JJ

Google apps doesn't connect using exchange option in mail while on 3G

Hello,
I have been using google apps for over two years and it has been working perfectly on my iPhone. I set up my email using the exchange option and its been running without incident. I also have my gmail setup using exchange and it too has been working fine for years. About 2 months ago I had my iPhone 5 replaced by apple under warranty and on the new device I was no longer able to setup my gmail using exchange. I then read that google stopped supporting exchange for new iOS devices. However, my google apps account continued to work perfectly until a few days ago. It suddenly stopped connecting to my account. I did a few experiments and noticed that it works perfectly when connected via wifi or on Edge but not on 3G. It's strange that it just doesn't connect on 3G. To troubleshoot I deleted the account and added it again but that didn't solve the problem. I also restored the phone but that didn't help either. Finally I changed my SIM card and that didn't help too.
Does anyone have any idea why this is and how I can solve this issue?
Regards,
Saeed

What did google say when you contacted them? It's their service.
Also, I am able to connect using Edge and wifi but not while on 3G.
Connect to what? Are you saying Google Apps works on Edge, but not 3G? Or are you saying you can't connect to the Internet at all over 3G?

Why isn't OCR using more CPU power for quicker recognition?

Hello,
I'm currently running OCR (optical character recognition) aka. text recognition in Acrobat Pro XI, and it goes fairly slowly. I am wondering why this process cannot be sped up. I thought maybe this was the maximum capacity of my processor, but this is clearly not the case.
Indeed, the resource usage looks like this:
8% of CPU, about 100-150mb of RAM during OCR.
I would have expected much larger resource consumption for such a computationally heavy task. Indeed, I want more resource usage to get the task done quicker.
I have a Intel Core i7 5820K processor (6-core), and 16GB of DDR4 RAM at 2133mhz. This doesn't seem to be making use of the hardware I purchased.
What can I do to make it faster? Or is this functionality simply not coded in a way that can exploit the full power of my PC?
Thanks.

The hardware is not all that relevant. The local machine can (and typically does) have many processes making demands.
Even if a dedicated, no other features, OCR desktop application is used one would have to kill all the other processes to optimize availability of resources.
For wham-bam performance you'd go with servers and server products.
The slip stream of their passage can rock you. But, such is expensive.

Why doesn't iTunes use track names on burned cd's instead of querying Gracenote?

I run a recording studio and burn cd's of original music for clients. Sometimes when those clients open their cd in itunes, titles and artist names with no connection whatsoever to their music are displayed. Why does itunes not just use the titles burned with the cd instead of automatically querying Gracenote and arbitrarily assigning incorrect titles and artists to the disc? I have even imported such a disc into itunes, changed the titles and artist name, created a new playlist with those songs, and burned a disc from that corrected playlist, only to have it come up wrong again when the new disc is opened in itunes. This needs to be fixed. Some of those clients use the burned discs as booking demos, and having another artist's name and song titles come up causes confusion and embarassment.

ed2345,
No need for you to be an a-hole.
Fair enough, although you are better off getting that feedback from me than from one of your clients who puts 2 and 2 together.
I clearly stated that quite often these were unfinished projects, often with working titles that may or may not be the final title.
What you "clearly stated" is that your clients are having "confusion and embarassment." Is that not sufficient for you to get those discs into the database?
....if the names haven't changed will Gracenote accept a submission of the same titles but different running times from the same artist and delete the old one?
If the running times are different, it will look like a different CD to Gracenote. If the CD is not the final version, you should append its title with "Demo" or "Work in Progress" or a similar indication that will distinguish it from the final "real" version.
You may have a misimpression about Gracenote. Yes, they are authoritative about commercial CDs, but they have also opened their DB for submissions to any hobbyist with iTunes and a burner. They have tons of such things in their database. There is absolutely no need for you to avoid putting your stuff in there. In fact, since iTunes cannot read CD Text, there is currently no way other than Gracenote to solve the iTunes problem which brought you to this Forum.

Why doesn't printing use the default printer?

I have two main printers to use at home and whenever I print a web page, Firefox automatically prints using the non-default printer. If I select the default printer from the drop down list, it works fine. I shouldn't have to select the default printer every time I want to print.

Note that NONE of the replies answer the original question.
The key word in the question is "'''Why'''" and "default printer" refers to the system's default printer.
Why does Firefox behave differently than any other Win app when it comes to printing, ALWAYS use the system's default printer UNLESS the user changes it (''and NOT memorize the choice'').
To put it another way, '''Firefox should NOT always use the last printer selected'''.
'''This non-standard printing behavior should be changed.'''

Why doesn't Labview use (Macromedia) Flash for building controls?

When working with Labview you have a lot of options, but even although "everything" seems covered, I wonder wether this will still be true in the future when more complex and flexible interfaces have to be developed?
(I had a vision That's why, to me it seems good if Labview would "broaden it's horizons"
and look around to which software-standards it could conform/can adopt.

It sounds like trying to attach wings to a Mercedes in order to make it fly.

... and a better idea is for Macromedia to include a LV Player ... :-)

Why doesn't Aperture use iPhoto's date logic?

This is how image date logic works in iPhoto. This image date value is used in queries and sorts.
1. Image date is stored in database.
2. Initial value taken from image metadata if available.
3. If image metadata not available, use file date.
4. User can edit database date (does not change file header).
This is how it seems to work in Aperture 1.5
1. Image date is stored in database.
2. Initial value taken from iPhoto database if import from iPhoto.
3. If not import from iPhoto, initial value taken from image metadata if available.
4. If image metadata not available, use file date.
5. User CANNOT edit database date.
I was shocked (really, I'm still stunned) that Aperture 1.5 still does not equal iPhoto's date management capabilities. Since Aperture is a Pro application it's reasonable to have several date fields, but one of them should behave like iPhoto. That metadata field should be useable in queries/filters, sorts, display, book printing, etc. It should be the default date metadata element for all date related operations.
Please note, it's fine that Aperture does not muck with image file (exif) metadata -- that's dangerous. EXIF is a quasi-standard badly implemented.
So now, my question. Why?
Aperture 1.5 was a huge update. They fixed much more than I thought was possible. It could have been labeled Aperture 3.0. Offering it free to users was a genuine apology, gratefully accepted I'm sure. It took all my strength of will not to order it immediately, waiting instead for the initial reviews to come in.
So there had to be a reason Aperture's Product Manager, Joe Schorr, had not to implement iPhoto's image date behavior. Something he'd thought carefully about.
What was it?

Perhaps it's just that they don't have infinite resources ?
The big deal (for me) was that they can "import" files but leave them on the filesystem. In true Apple fashion though, they took the extra steps of allowing management of the images within the application (consolidate and relocate). Perhaps the knock-on effects of all the things they did implement prevented them from doing other things...
We see Apple as a corporate entity, master of its domain, all-seeing, all-knowing, all-powerful within the confines of an Infinite Loop. In reality it's a bunch of people who only have a fixed number of hours in the day to work. Someone takes the decision that X is more important than Y and Y is dropped for this release - it's that simple IMHO.
In any event, I'd like to know how many people worked on Aperture 1.5 - the difference between the Aperture update and the Lightroom update was huge! Do they have lots more engineers/QA, or did they just get more done in the same time-frame ?

How do I stop Firefox from auto-loading websites on startup? Why doesn't it use the cache?

When I open up Firefox, I see a row of "loading circles" swishing around. I don't want my browser to do this, because it slows down my internet connection, it's unnecessary 95% of the time (I often keep tabs open just to have quick access to some text), and sometime it's actually detrimental (for example, when the page has changed since the last time I loaded it, but I actually wanted the information from the former state of the page).
How do I fix it so that Firefox uses the cached page instead of trying to load a new one?
To clarify: I want Firefox to load the new page when I visit a bookmark, or click on a link to a page I've seen before, or press the reload button. I just don't want it to do this when all I've done is start up Firefox.
Let the tabs sit there until I tell them to do something! Can anyone help?
Using:
Firefox 9.0.1
Windows XP SP3

Yes, but at least the start will be faster and only one tab ta the time is checked on the server.

Winacd, why doesn't apple use something like this, or advertise it?

I mean it completely fixes the power on issue and adds extra features fur tuning the montitor itself. I dont quite understand since the ACD needs this in order to function correctly on a windows PC.
Here is the link if anyone is interested.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/winacd/
On a second note. I received my display with a scratch on the front bezel. Do you think it is possible to allow me to send mine back and get it fixed? I want it fixed and not replaced since the one I received has a perfect screen on it. i don't want to deal with switching it out again and possibly getting a bad one.

WinACD is a windoze driver created by Laurent Morichetti and generously offered free of charge. LM has also provided an extremely generous level of personal support to users of this driver. Why does Apple not provide a similar driver? Who knows? Why is there not even a link to this free driver on Apple's web site? Who knows? But look at Apple's Mighty Mouse driver. As weak a piece of software as has ever been offered. Vastly less versatile than either Steer Mouse or USB Overdrive. But at least there is a link for Steer Mouse on Apple's download page.

Why doesn't firefox use Active X Controls

I need to have Active X Control to access my banking process. I have this on IE but prefer to use Firefox, how can I make Active X Control work on Firefox

Firefox does not support ActiveX technology for multiple reasons.
* ActiveX is only available on Windows operating systems, and as a result webpages that require it will not work on Linux or Mac.
* ActiveX integration with the Windows operating system has made it a target for malicious software.

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 2013
2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB (CUDA GPU enabled in Premiere)
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Why doesn't Pr use my CPU's cores while rendering/exporting without strange workarounds?
