Question

After restarting the computer, the rendering speed increases fourfold!

After restarting the computer, the rendering speed increases fourfold! How can I make this work without having to restart? To clarify: only one program is running—either Premiere or Encoder. The hardware performance remains the same. What could speed up the rendering so much? 2 hours versus 30 minutes—that's a huge difference! Once again—I turn on the computer, run the render twice (which takes 4 hours). I restart the PC and the render finishes in 30 minutes! Technically, this would be impossible if the problem were hardware overheating.

    What is the frame rate, frame size and duration of your sequence? Do the sequence and media sample rates match?

    Everything matches up—I've been doing video editing for quite a few years now.) 25 frames, 4K, 30-minute video length. Minimal color correction and audio effects

    What is your media and export codec, and what effects are you using for color and audio? These details will help us determine what might be the cause.

    Just a guess:

    A memory leak?
    Too many temp files?

    Up to 30% of the 64 GB is being used during rendering. The project contains 2 video files and 2 audio tracks from an audio recorder. 4 files in total. I turned on my computer this morning and checked—it says 30 minutes again. It's really strange how it calculates the time like that.
