Hello,

I have a bunch of AE projects to export and I've set them in que in ME to render over night. To my suprise they did not finnish. I checked the logs and it needs 4-5h for one project to render. But then I realised that ME isn't using the full GPU or CPU power.

Any thoughts what I have set wrong or,.....

(I have the lates drivers, updates,.. CUDA set in AE, PP and ME,...)

Thanks

Hard to tell since you don´t give us any export settings. Some codecs takes full advantage of CPU/GPU, some dont.

Has ME ever used full GPU and CPU power with the settings you use?

I noticed that the disks are almost full. This is an issue and can slow down renders and make the export to stall.

But then I realised that ME isn't using the full GPU or CPU power.

Any thoughts what I have set wrong or,.....

Which versions of After Effects and Media Encoder do you use? Does the GPU usage increase if you export directly from After Effects?

I'm using v24.6.1 build 2 ME and v24.6.2 AE. CPU and GPU usage goes up a little if exporting from AE directly but not much.
