Hey everyone!
First time to the forums as I'm a new Premiere Pro user, although not new to editing or NLE's.
I have come mainly from FCP7 and FCPX then to PP CC 2019. My issue is with creating proxies and the time it is taking, I'll list all specs of my machine, files types and whatever else I can below.
iMac (Retina 5K, 27" 2017
Processor 3.5
40GB 2400 Mhz DDR4
Startup Disk Mactintosh HD
Graphics Radeon Pro 575 4096mb
The original files I am encoding:
I am ingesting using:
Format - QuickTime
Preset: GoPro Cineform 1024 x 540.
Original files stored on a Lacie HDD and encoding proxies WERE originally going back to the same drive, but I was advised this would be bottle necking the process so I have sent them temporarily to my iMac's Fusion drive. This has sped things up but still VERY slow.
Total file size for encoding is 750GB, so yes I don't expect it to be lightening but its been at least two days and I'm not even half way!
Is this just down to my iMac not being up for the task?
Or something else?
I look forward to any guidance!
Thanks in advance.

Hey Kevin, yes still very much having this issue. I had one very large file of 114GB take 32 hours to encode!
I have been told that Mojave is potentially a problem?
I did reinstall both Premiere Pro and Media Encoder but found that this initially gave me a speed increase in the process but it didn't last long.
So yes, any help would be amazing!
Thank you!

Make sure you are exporting to a fast SSD connected by Thunderbolt 3. Working better? If not, try a different source format. Or is the camera recording those 444 files? Let us know.

You need to list the CPU model number.

This is my situation right now too. I am exporting back to my 2tb Lacie drive though so will change that to avoid bottleneck. In any case this is going on 24hrs and no business can afford this kind of time linefor just creating proxies!
