Why is Adobe Media Encoder pure garbage?

[Kevin Monahan]

Mason,
If you can export 8K from Premiere Pro you should continue doing so. Since AME is struggling with this, feel free to file a bug: https://adobe.ly/ReportBug

My personal feeling is that if you continue to have trouble with exporting via OpenCL and your dual AMD GPUs in your 2013 Mac Pro, please have them looked at (and potentially replaced) by an Apple service center. A few other customers have done so and had success after doing so.

Thanks,
Kevin

So, today I had some free time to finally experiment with OpenCL again. It worked flawlessly. No crashing this time. AME blasted through 1080p with no issues in the final file, and exporting 8640×1080 took about 6 minutes, similar to the export times of Premiere. Does Premiere use OpenCL?

Yes, assuming the GPU meets certain minimum requirements. Definitely yes, for the card in your system.
