    Rendering 10x slower with media encoder than Premiere pro direct export

    DVExpert Community Member

      We use CS5 (have been using Adobe since 2004). I open a sequence (edited in Premiere with no fancy effect - just open title & closing title - length 4 minutes). It is HDV so nothing special or out of the ordinary.

      If I render the sequence by going to FILE => EXPORT => MEDIA and export this way it will take approx 1 minute to render the file.

      If I close Premiere and open Media Encoder and import the same sequence and render with exactly the same settings, it will take 10 or 11 minutes to render.

      I have tried most obvious areas such as closing all other programs and only opening media encoder, as well as making sure the RAM allocation is the same for media encoder, but nothing seems to make Media Encoder render at the same speed.

       

      It doesn't matter what the video format is on input or export ... media encoder is always so much slower.

       

      Why does Media Encoder take so much longer to render?
