12 core Mac Pro only using one core with Media Encoder 2018

As in the thread title... Media Encoder is not using the anything like the twelve cores of the 2013 Mac Pro I have on my desk. In fact much slower than my home iMac etc.

Activity monitor shows about 118% of use with the CPU sitting pretty idle.

Anyone got any ideas? Kinda sucks to have a twelve core machine that Adobe can't take advantage of.....

Open Activity Monitor and click View, Update Frequency - Very often. Window - CPU Usage and Window - CPU History, then do your export. Is only one core showing progress?
