Question

I get an unreasonable estimated time (Remaining : 90 Hours)

With the same 40 minutes video- on the same computer, Adobe Premiere finished the export in 12 hours.
With Media Enoder - After 12 hours I still have 90 hours left -and the estimated remaining time just keeps going up.
(see the attached print screen)

The only difference from the 2 exporting is that in Premiere Pro the export was with 2 muted (by accisent) sound tracks.
Now, -it's the same basic laptop (without a quality graphic cards) opted for software only rendering.
For me the only reason to export within the Media Encoder is the stop-continue option-nothing else.

The process > export settings in Premiere > send to Media Encoder > Turned On

My questions :
1- Why is there no option to pause and continue the export within Premiere Pro? (assuming it's the same rendering engine)
2- Correct me if I'm wrong - a software designed specifically for rendering /exporting video should't  be faster than software designed mainly for editing?

1) It is not the same rendering engine but uses common code. The AME part has a lot of communications between the apps in addition.
2) See 1). I guess it should be roughly the same.

Would you be able to share the project and media with us to look into the issue? I can private message you with the instruction if you are willing & able.

Unfortunately, it seems like something went wrong in your AME job. There's no reason AME should take that much longer. If you find the counter is still going up and no progress has been made, it's usually best to cut your losses and restart AME or your computer. 

 

And if AME and PR are using the same encoding tools, then I wouldn't expect AME to process faster. Each codec uses different software to render, and that is all handled in the Mediacore engine, which is shared. There are a number of factors which can cause slowdowns in encoding, but to be very broad about it, if you're not using Dynamic Link and you have the AME setting to "Import Premiere Pro Projects Natively" checked, then the speeds should be comparable.

thanks David. I'm exporting now directly via Primiere without full depth and max quality. after 20 minutes I'm on 6% so maybe theres a chance for reasonable encoding time. what your thought about the 1'th question?
