Media Encoder CC 2019 disastrously slower than CC 2018
I'm trying to make proxies for this doc project (I use the procedure where within Premiere I right click all the footage in the folder and choose "Create proxies")
Before, on Premiere and Media Encoder 2018, this was going smoothly, with the proxies being created and attached at a speedy rate.
But after being forced to upgrade to 2019 for the client, the performance has plummeted. It now takes 1-3 hours to make a proxy for a single clip when it used to take only a few minutes. It has brought my work and progress to a screeching halt. Below is a screengrab of my system specs.
