How to get Premiere Pro CS5 using maximum computer resources?
I purchased a new computer system to use with Premiere Pro CS5. i7 920 Quad Core Processor, 12 Gigs of DDR3 1333 Ram, GTX285 Video Card so Mercury Playback Engine is enabled and I have Premiere set up to use up to 9 Gigs of ram.
My problem is that no matter what I do, Premiere never uses more than 2 gigs of ram and about 15% of the processor power.
Previews play fine because of the Mercury engine, but rendering or exporting with Adobe Media Encoder seems to take forever – equivalent to my older machine.
Right now I’m exporting a 14 minute 1080P 24fps Cineform avi (no effects at all except a few cross dissolves. Premiere is taking 70 minutes to do this using 15% CPU and just 1.3 Gigs of ram.
How can I get Premiere using more of my system resources?
Thanks

Oddly enough, Adobe Media Encoder is not optimized to take use of the Mercury rendering engine.
For the fastest rendering, export media in Premiere, set output options and export right from that window. DO NOT enqueue and open Media Encoder.
Under the memory preference I have optimize rendering for ‘performance’.
I don’t know how heavy Cineform is on the CPU, but I regularly export 1080p30 footage at close to real time (limited effects) and I’m running 8gigs of ram on a AMD Phenom X4 (equivalent to a Intel i5)
Also make sure, for whatever reason, you’re not running Premiere with a low priority. Check your task manager for that.

I have the same problem. I have adobe CS5.5.
When I export videofiles from adobe or media encoder, my computer only uses 6,7GB Ram and Max 30% processor speed.I have set Ram by performance and I have set energy level in windows on High Performance and also the priorty to High in task manager.
Several months back I had an export with 90% ram usage, but I forgot how I did that..
Can anybody help me?
My computer has: 16GB DDR3 ram Windows 7 home premium I7-2600K NVIDIA GeForce GTX570 videocard
