Update to Media Encoder 24.1 has greatly worsened render times

I recently updated to the latest versions of the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, and as for the Audition, After Effects and Premiere features, I can certainly see an improvement. With Media Encoder, though, it's totally another story. I've been editing podcasts that last in average an hour and a half to two hours, and it usually take about 1 to 2 hours to render. Since the update, I've seen it climb to about 10 hours without doing anything different (Even though I don't see could have been done to upset rendering that much). 

 

Any insights on what could cause this issue? It's really a deal breaker for me if something as simple as this simple podcast takes 10 hours, I don't want to see anything with high production...

Let's continue via e-mail if that is okay with you. See my last PM.

Apparently, the private messaging doesn't really work. I answer almost right away and get weeks before having another message saying that my previous one hasn't been received. Would there be an alternative?

I'm still waiting on feedback in PM on the matter. It's not solved since the 24.1.1 update. I had up to 13 hours of render for an hour and a half of not highly edited video.

I have an Intel i7-6700K, 32GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080. I could provide a project for you to look into without a problem. I have plenty examples that worked in the past and took just a couple of hours to render. Let me know how you'd like to proceed.

So the slowdown is in the export from Premiere Pro to AME. What are your hardware specs? Would you be able to share a project for us to look into? I can private message you the instructions in this forum.

My workflow is Audition > Export to Premiere > After Effects > Premiere Pro > AME. I've been using this workflow for about 2-3 years now, without issues. Might I add, it's a podcast I'm rendering, and the video version is the one with the issue, the audio only version took 3 minutes.

I am sorry for your bad experience. Let's look into this. Which workflow are you using? Audition > AME? PPro > AME?
