How to speed up export/render times on premiere CC?
Laptop specs:
I7 4980HQ
32GB DDR3L
512GB M.2 1200mb write/read
1TB SSD 550mb write/read
GTX 980M GPUFiles:
1080p60fps
Format h.264 at Source Quality High Bitrate.What tips do you guys have on increasing the quality/reducing render time? I see it’s using 100% CPU but only 30% Ram at around 8gb ram at a time.

Can you please post a screen shot of the Export Settings for review? Checkboxes for “Max Render” and “Max Bit Depth” can add to render times, but are not needed much of the time. Could that be an issue for you?
Thank you

Don’t export to C: (system) drive, rather export to a dedicated fast media drive. Also, what does the rest of the export panel look like? There are checkboxes that can increase render times
Thanks

What are your export times? How long videos are you exporting? What kind of times are you expecting for the exports?

A 20min video barely edited took me 20min to export, I am exporting a short 4min video now and it only took 5mins to export which is good.
I want to cut it down to around half though. Because I need to be able to export a lot of 20 – 40min videos.
It’s basically just me syncing audio with video and adding a new audio track and then an outro and intro. Shouldn’t take 20mins

I don’t know what your source footage is but those times sound fair for high framerate/bitrate H264 encoding.

Breaking up the reads & writes is always good in PrPro. Exporting is nearly totally a reading process, and reading media files is pretty much a one-way read process. So both of those can often (up through 1080) go via a USB3 connection where say, using that for project files or such would slow you to a crawl.
But … that would be one USB3 connection for exporting, and a different one for media you are working from.
Exporting to even a fast flashdrive like some of the PNY 128Gb ones connected through a USB3 port would give you better processing times than sending the export back to a disc that’s getting heavily used for in/out work like your system drive.

Set up Media Encoder to use GPU. Done.

If he’s not doing anything that would use the GPU that doesn’t really help.
