Premiere Pro CC Export Speed

[Luke Pearson]

Just an update, still experiencing slow export speeds but a 45 minute export is actually taking around 90 minutes to export as opposed to my earlier timings.

I’ve been monitoring the CPU, GPU and RAM use extensively, CPU use by Premiere or AME is only at around 4%, RAM use is at around 1.5GB and the GPU is not being used during the export.

Exporting the same timeline to DNxHD (matching settings) takes around 15 minutes, RAM use hits around 12GB and the CPU ramps up to around 50%.

I’ve sent a bug report off to Adobe, I haven’t yet tried going from a different codec to AVC Intra so that’ll be my next test.

Good news, the latest 7.1 update has seriously improved AVC Intra encoding, I’m seeing an improvement of around 150% on this system.
