I take it back, I had Maximum Render Quality checked but for some reason did NOT have Maximum Depth checked. That was the same for all of the tests.

I had Maximum Render Quality checked as well. Don’t I always want the best quality? Is your thinking that if I unchecked that my CPU usage/encoding time would drop significantly? Won’t the quality suffer?
-
FWIW, I always render at maximum depth. I was told in the past if you don’t then graphics won’t look nearly as good.

If you’re in Windows and you’ve ever exported a test or anything, you can type %temp% into the run box and there should be a ton of project files, one of which should be YourProjectName_1.prproj. The higher the number, the more recent the version. Hope this helps!

I think I’ve solved the mystery behind why my machine was pegging every core to 100%. I was doing a bunch of very long speedup/slowdown sequences and that’s when it maxes everything out. If I just render the same project, but with the clip at 100% speed then my CPUs are more like 85% capacity and my computer is much more usable. Anybody else have a similar experience?

Well, it’s working in the sense that the Mercury Playback stuff in Premiere is activated, and appears to be fine. It’s not working in the sense that AME errors out with an Unknown Error without doing any actual encoding.
I tried both methods of renaming the txt file and including my video card using the Adobe program to find what they call it. In both cases it activates in Premiere, but fails once I try and render.

I tried both methods outlined in the link, and both of them enable the Mercury Playback Engine in Premiere, but when I go to queue the movie and export with Media Encoder it fails with an “Unknown Error”. If I change the text file back then it exports just fine.
I was thinking if this worked and the difference was noticeable that I would go buy another card with more CUDA cores, but now I’m hesitant.

Very interesting page, thanks!

I don’t remember have this kind of slow down on my old machine, and this one has a faster CPU, RAID drives for media, SSD for OS/programs, and more RAM. The only thing it doesn’t have is an officially supported graphics card.
I have a 1gb NVIDIA GeForce 210 which is a good card, but like I said not supported. Could this be related to my inability to play media/YouTube while encoding? In other words, is my CPU maxing out at 100% because nothing is being off-loaded to the video card, whereas on my previous system the “supported” card took some of the burden? Sometimes when I click back to Premiere during encoding it actually re-paints the window, which I haven’t seen happen in years.
Any thoughts?

Wonderful, thanks Angelo!
