Hi! I realize that this question was brought up before but never answered, so I ask again: What could be the reason that I get only 65% max CPU usage while rendering this: Video captured with Shadow Play (Media Info in spoiler) [spoiler] General Complete name : G:\Material\Video\Dark Souls III\Dark Souls III 04.13.2017 - 23.16.32.04.mp4 Format : MPEG-4 Format profile : Base Media / Version 2 Codec ID : mp42 (mp41/isom) File size : 2.28 GiB Duration : 6 min Overall bit rate : 50.2 Mb/s Recorded date : 2017 Video ID : 1 Format : AVC Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Format profile : High@L4.2 Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, ReFrames : 1 frame Format settings, GOP : M=1, N=30 Codec ID : avc1 Codec ID/Info : Advanced Video Coding Duration : 6 min Source duration : 6 min Bit rate : 50.0 Mb/s Width : 1 920 pixels Height : 1 080 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate mode : Variable Frame rate : 60.000 FPS Minimum frame rate : 56.711 FPS Maximum frame rate : 63.694 FPS Standard : PAL Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.402 Stream size : 2.27 GiB (100%) Source stream size : 2.27 GiB (100%) Color range : Limited Color primaries : BT.601 NTSC Transfer characteristics : BT.470 System M Matrix coefficients : BT.601 mdhd_Duration : 390654 Audio ID : 2 Format : AAC Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec Format profile : LC Codec ID : 40 Duration : 6 min Source duration : 6 min Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 192 kb/s Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel positions : Front: L R Sampling rate : 48.0 kHz Frame rate : 46.875 FPS (1024 spf) Compression mode : Lossy Stream size : 9.09 MiB (0%) Source stream size : 9.09 MiB (0%) mdhd_Duration : 390586 [/spoiler] There are multiple video files that I wanted to cut together and export from Premiere with h.264 and a very large bitrate because later I will encode it again with Handbrake which supports HEVC. It was already a bummer to find out that CUDA is not part of Elements but Pro - something in my eyes so rudimentary - but if even my CPU now is somehow not working at full capacity then I kind of want to think that my money was wasted. I cannot make a screenshot because I'm rendering right now but I set the export settings to match the source manually. The automated "Match Source" function recognized a lot of the settings wrong. My system: i7 6550K @ 4.200MHz 4x4 GB RAM 2.400MHz Windows 7 x64 Sorce files are on a WD Caviar RED HDD 3TB Destination is a Samsung SM951 M.2 PS: There doesn't seem a way to preview my port here. So I hope the spoiler works EDIT: No spoiler doesn't work
