Question

Media Encoder 2020 render extremely slow

Same problem here, out of nowhere rendering in the timeline and exporting from both Ae and AME started taking much, much longer. What would usually take 1-2 mins is suddenly taking 30 - 40. I updated to Ae 2020, no change, updated my graphic drivers, no change. Tried rendering with mercury software only rather than GPU, hasn't made any difference.

I have 12 core, 64 gigs Ram, Nvidia 1080 Ti, I don't really see why it should be struggling like it is. At one point I couldn't even use masks in Ae because the lag was so bad it made it impossible to work.

Its really frustrating to go from a relatively great workflow to something that is, at times, barely usable.

Any advice or fixes on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Same issue here.  I think it might have something to do with a change to the H.264 encoder, but I could be wrong.  Something changed in the jump from 14.4 to 14.5, and the only solution right now is to revert to 14.4.  Please fix this ASAP, Adobe.  As soon as I'm not able to use that version, I don't know what I'm going to do.

      Just for an example, I just started a render of a low resolution H.264 proxy on Media Encoder 14.6.  It told me it was going to take 5 hours, and the time kept on climbing.  Reverted back to 14.4, and now it's going to be done in around 40 minutes.  I can provide screenshots if that would help.

        This is workflow-breaking, guys.  Please prioritize.

          Really Frustrating !!

          A 2min16sec timeline in after effects (with no plugins, no color effects, and no 3D, etc..)  is taking 5h13min to render in H264 - 1920x1080 ... seriously !!

                Just now, I have finished rendering a 1 hour composition in Adobe Media Encoder. It took approximately 23 hours to render. I have no idea why this would happen. My computer is considered to be "high end" with an intel core i7-9700K and 16 GB of ram. I have an RTX 2080 as well. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks

                  Hi Jon,

                  We're sorry about the issue and appreciate the fact that you tried to troubleshoot it before reaching out. The system details that you've shared look good enough. However, we'll need more information to optimize the performance.

                  • Which OS version do you have?
                  • Does it happen with every project?
                  • Which effects are applied to your composition?
                  • Have you used any third-party plug-ins in your project?

                  Looking forward to your response.

                  Thanks,

                  Shivangi

                  Adobe wt... I ahve deadlines and your media encoder is has suddenly taking 10-15x longer to render or it just stops with no error. Fix your software and you owe $52 for a new external hard drive and $130 for a lost client!

                    We understand any delay in meeting the deadlines could cost you time, efforts and money. Do not worry! We're here to help.

                    Could you share the details I've asked above? It is important to know about the computer's hardware and the project's complexity while troubleshooting the performance related glitches.

                    Looking forward to your response.

                    Thanks,

                    Shivangi
