1. Re: Why is AME only using 20% of my CPU when rendering a PPro sequence?
JSS1138 Aug 28, 2012 1:06 PM (in response to Stanley Arthur)Premiere Pro uses whatever CPU cycles it needs. If it's not using them all, it's because it doesn't need them all.

I think AME or PR does not support Dual CPU. Thats why its using only 20% what is you're seq or project prefs?

Stanley Arthur Aug 29, 2012 5:57 AM (in response to Stanley Arthur)Here's an update with some more information. For several weeks, I've been producing short interview pieces (2-3) minutes using the Digital Anarchy plug-in Beauty Box. Over the passed two days, I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to export a couple of longer interview sequences (30+ minutes), but no matter what export scheme I try, it always fails 5-10 minutes in. While I was trying to figure out what was happening, I opened the Task Manager and observed that the CPU usage was quite low.
Today, after much frustration, I stripped out Beauty Box and exported both sequences easily and quickly using "Match sequence settings". I noted during export that CPU usage was between 75%-85%. So in short, Beauty Box has always been known to increase render times by as much as 500%, which is fine for me because I really love what it does. Unfortunately, it just isn't possible to export longer sequences with it. It somehow effects CPU usage dramatically and eventually the export just freezes.
I have been talking back and forth with Digital Anarchy's Jim Tierney, but as of yet, no solution or work-around.

JSS1138 Aug 29, 2012 6:02 AM (in response to Stanley Arthur)There are a lot of effects like that. Magic Bullet Looks and Colorista are also known to slow things down to a crawl.

Stanley Arthur Aug 29, 2012 6:36 AM (in response to JSS1138)Well slowing down is acceptable, depending on the quality of the effect. Sadly, there is no work-around for a complete failure to export. What Beauty Box does with one click is nothing short of phenomenal. I even tried pre-rendering the entire sequence in small chunks and selecting "Use preview files" for export, but it doesn't change anything. Export still freezes after only a few minutes. The only thing that works is removing Beauty Box.
