Hello. I'm very much a beginner when it comes to understand whats making my computer run, especially when exporting videos so please be patient with me.

I know there are many threads about CPU and GPU but I got lost looking through them all.

My problem:

Premiere is set to "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA)" but when I check usage the CPU is being utlised more than the GPU.

CPU is in the high 90% and the GPU 20-30%.

I'm using Premier Pro cc2019

My computer is an Acer Nitro 5 (AN515-53)

Intel Core i5-8300H CPU 2.3Hz 2.30 GHz

8 GB RAM

64 bit operating system x64- based processor

GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4GB

Can someone help me please?

Thank you,

Mark

Hi Mark.

Try using Adobe Media Encoder to export instead of Premiere.

Encoder has a different method of exporting and uses the GPU to a much greater extent.

Try outputting with Encoder and then Premier and note the speed differences, as well as the CPU to GPU use levels.

Encoder is faster, and in many cases, much faster.

Give it a try.

Hi, thanks for posting everyone, I think I understand now why the GPU is not doing much work from all the posts, I've learned a lot from you all. My thanks. Mark

Happy to help ... there is so much about working in the Adobe DVA's ... "digital video apps" ... that is not obvious, and frequently is referenced a few different places in the various help things in different ways that can be even more confusing than not knowing at all.

So ... do look through their online help, especially the pdf reference manual they finally updated ... and of course, feel free to ask questions. After all the work I've done, I finally learned a few more things about the way Lumetri processes color information last Friday. Sheesh!
