Adobe Premier SUCKS at encoding!

Adobe Premiere V25 (including current update) has made in app encoding impossible. A two minute cuts only video with titles takes 11 minuted to encode. Yet if I send it to media encoder it take one minute. I am greatly frustrated and perturbed. I spent three hours this morning tech'ing through my network 10gb card and harassing IT. The card was not the problem.  There is no excuse for this issue, it was bothering me, so I jumped through every hoop I could find to no avail. I landed at the truth Adobe Premiere is unusable for rendering output in a rational amount of time, and I am upset by this.

 

WTF adobie!

Hi @mediam51394087 - As a test can you Can you try and hold down "SHIFT" while launching Premiere and check the boxes
"Reset app preferences" (Backup Preferences first)

Hi @mediam51394087 - What exact version of Premiere are you using?  What driver are you using for your 2080TI? 

Are your media files HEVC?  Are you using the same Preset between AME and Premiere Pro?

Hi @mediam51394087 -  I’m really sorry you’re running into this I completely understand why this would be frustrating. A two minute sequence taking 11 minutes to export in app, while Media Encoder finishes in about a minute, is absolutely not what you should be seeing.

 

We need a few more details to try to help with the issue.  Please see, How to Report a Problem.

 

Have you checked that you have hardware accelerated encoding checked in your preferences > Media.
