  • Premiere Pro 2 – Uses only 1 of 2 cores during export!

    Posted by Nick Marques on April 8, 2007 at 10:11 pm

    I’m running Premiere Pro 2.0 on Windows XP Professional (32-bit). I have an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU (2.16 Ghz) and during exports (renders), it only uses one core!

    Any way to fix this?

    It depends on which effects you apply. Exporting is disk dependent more than anything else, so how many cores is not particularly important. The effects you apply make a difference.

    For example, put a fresh clip on a new sequence and apply a Gaussian Blur. Render that and see both cores in use.

    Take off the blur and use a three way color corrector. Render that and see only one core in use.

    My guess is that they will all be improved eventually, but how soon I would not even try to guess.

    There’s no effects. It’s just cuts and so forth. I think I figured it out though. I got a program called RMClock (it’s free), and hard set my CPU to full trottle, restarted Premiere Pro, and it’s using both cores 100%. It effectively cuts render times in half.

    I downloaded that utility, I am a little slow on how to use such… would you tell me how you force it to run both CPUs? Or does it do it automatically?

    All I did was apply the Maximum Performance profile, then check “Use P-State transitions” and “Use throttling” and only check the highest values in each list.

    I’m not sure if that’s what fixed my problem or not, but it does force the CPU not to run slower.

    AMD “Cool and Quiet” could cause a similar issue. I am not sure if Intel has a similar driver based performance adjustment. Check out the following link as this relates to the RMclock program and AMD.
