Multicore Rendering?
I’m currently trying to edit some HD video in Adobe Premiere. When I try to render it, Adobe Media Encoder tells my that it’s going to take 40 hours to render a 1 hour video.
Is there a way to set up a render farm for Adobe Media Encoder? I’m also wondering if there is a way to make Adobe Media Encoder use multiple cores rather than only one.
Thanks in advance

Have you set the Highest Quality tick box in the Export Settings? That may make a difference to your render, however it can make the render times MASSIVE.
The estimate is not completely accurate at first, it assumes that the entire project you are exporting is as complicated as the current section it’s on with FX etc.
You either have the tick box activated, you have a slow machine, are rendering back to the same hard drive your media is on, are using a laptop, are exporting to a different format than you edited in, have the lower end scale of RAM (4Gig is not high these days), have other operations/applications going bogging down the CPU, serious video and audio effects heavy edit, or any combination of these things.
Try exporting to an Uncompressed format to a separate drive I tend to use the “Quicktime Format” with “Animation Codec” and Uncompressed Audio. It will chew up Hard Drive space but the “number crunching” for export is way less complex – then I use that as a Master to export to another format.
You will need to change the preset of DV to Animation then go in and setup the matching frame dimensions fps progressive/interlaced etc to completely match your edit.

How much of a hit does one take if you’re rendering and pulling media from the same drive?
