1. Re: New computer - slow encoding!
SAFEHARBOR11 Jul 14, 2014 9:23 AM (in response to mikec82)With CS6, there was a workaround to get Premiere to use the GTX cards for hardware acceleration. My understanding was that CC would automatically use capable cards...maybe you still need to modify the supported cards text file?
But anyway, Warp Stabilizer takes forever to render, and color looks plug-ins are also known to take a while. If you want to do any type of benchmark between the old and new computer, encode a raw clip without the effects. It should really be realtime or faster to encode a clip to H.264 on that machine.

2. Re: New computer - slow encoding!
mikec82 Jul 14, 2014 9:49 AM (in response to SAFEHARBOR11)Once I made changes to the Premiere and AME supported_cuda_cards.txt files, it was exporting basically in real time. Major difference! Plus now I don't have to render all my warp stabilizer or lumetri shots. I'm definitely feeling relieved - thanks!

3. Re: New computer - slow encoding!
SAFEHARBOR11 Jul 14, 2014 10:23 AM (in response to mikec82)In re-reading your initial post, it seems that you had rendered the timeline (red to green), is that correct? But since the export in AME still took 45 minutes, can I assume that you did not check "Use Previews" in AME? Seems that maybe everything has to render again at export?
This link has some good info about rendering in Premiere - http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2011/02/red-yellow-and-green-render-bars.htmlBasically, even if you have red bars above segments in your Premiere sequence, there is no requirement to render those areas. If playback is smooth enough for you to see what you're doing, then don't worry about it, leave it red. When you export in AME, everything gets rendered at that point, and from the original source clip, for best results. If you render the timeline to green, that creates new clips behind the scenes, and if you then check "Use Previews" in AME, it re-renders those temporary rendered clips to the desired final format. So you now have a "copy of a copy", so you are losing some quality with that method.
Hope this helps with the workflow
