I can’t seem to figure this out–I’ve been searching online and in the manual and poking around in the software but to no avail.

I’m doing a first-pass through a lot of interview material, and I’m making subclips of the responses. This will make it easier to go back and start structuring things out on the timeline.

So far, in the Edit tab, I set my…

Everything is working fine–I just can’t figure out what the contributing factors would be.

When exporting native GH5 h.264 footage (after editing and color grading), different projects use different amounts of the CPU & GPU. Some projects will max out the GPU on exporting (1080ti) while the CPU runs about 40%, other projects will push the CPU up…

So I’ve recently transitioned into a new job where I use my personal system to edit all day long. After pushing it hard each and every day I decided to upgrade the workstation to make life a little faster.

Old specs:

Intel i7 – Quad-core – 4 Ghz; 32 GB RAM; Vega 56 RX

New specs:

AMD Ryzen9 3900x – 12-core – 3.7Ghz; 64GB RAM; GeForce 1080ti

Render and…

No other versions installed. Just a bug I guess. Yay! One more to add to the list.

Hmmm, great thought. I’m not using any 2-pass VBR though…

This has me stumped! If I queue to Media Encoder from Premiere, and set Media Encoder to use GPU acceleration, and only export 1 video at a time, it FLIES! (exporting to h.264)

If I do the exact same scenario, but export 2 different h.264 variants from the same Premiere timeline at the same time, the GPU will not be used at all, and the total…
