25.1 slower h.264 exports

So just tried exporting through Media Encoder with the new PP25.2. It did not fix the slow encoding times I am having. Exported out a 16 minutes 1 track video with no effetcs and it took 43 minutes. Exported the same video out striaght from PP 13 minutes....so so frustrating....itas getting close to switching to Divinci

Hi Kevin,

Thank you so much for jumping in. So I tried export VBR one pass and no change, still slow export through AME.  I read through the link you sent me regarding the decoding issues with windows 11 24H2. 

Firstly,I am still using windows 10 22H2.

Also my CPU is a Ryzen 9 5950X which has no IGPU

Both boxes in preferences are checked to use Hardware decoding and when playing back the Sony 10 bit 4:2:2 footage task manager clearly shows that the GPU is decoding the material.

I thin it is safe to say in my case the issue is not a windows issue. I have also found now that the issue only ocurs when I export the sony footage through AME.  If I export directly ffrom PP 25.1 I get the normal encoding times I am used to.

Thanks 

Darrell

Hi @10Eighteen Media 

Have you tried a one-pass VBR preset?

I wonder if it could be related to this issue: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/premiere-pro-25-1-igpu-stopped-decoding-my-footage/m-p/15021522#M542214.

I hope the team can assist you with this one shortly. Sorry for the problem.

Take Care,
Kevin

So I had to export out a 10:44 second video to H.264. Same type of source material,. Sent it to Media Encoder  1:04:15 yes you read that correctly over an hour!

So I then I exported the same video directly from PP25.1  and it encoded in just over 7 minutes. 

What is going on?

Adobe help me.

Same here, just updated to 25.1 and export is very slow, using mainly the CPU.

Adobe please fix your software, or redesign it from the ground up. My team and I are seriously considering switching to DaVinci at some point, and even watched tutorials about it.

DECODING... HW

Just ran the same project and export through PP Beta 25.2 the the encoding time was 2:03 (log below) So PP25.0 PP Beta 25.2 encode the video in around 2 minutes. PP25.1 encodes the video in 17 minutes. All same machine, same hardware, same operating system. The only variable is the version of PP. Yes Hardware encoding is on and CPU is running normal before, during and after encoding.

Check it again... either the hardware decoding is not working or the CPU load is low.

Hardware

25.1 Software or Hardware Decoding?
