Export issue timing

Hello community, i have an issue.

Recently i have a computer with these components: i9 10850k, 32gb ddr4 3200mhz, 1tb m2, 1tb ssd 2tb sata, gtx 1070 8gb, everything work fine, but, if i have on my timeline (full hd sequence 1920 x 1080 about 10min of movie, sequence with hardware encoding CUDA activated), i press export button check to see if it is activated cuda rendering and it is, as timing is almost the same, i mean is about 1:1 the export time...it doesn't seem to be ok, and i don't know why. The coolers in the unit are not starting to "accelerate"...is like everything is in idle mode. 

Am i missing something? Am i doing something wrong?
Thank you, i am waiting for your replies.

Having little details about the project and settings, I can only suggest these general steps:

1) Manually clear media cache - close Adobe PP/AE/ME, go to cache location and clean/delete folders: Media Cache, Media Cache Files, PTX, Peak Files.

2) Turn off hardware accelerated Decoding in Preferences > Media...  (Remember to do app restart)

3) Your timeline render bar is red. Which means that all effects are runnig on the CPU (and may even be bottlenecked by a single thread). This may happen because not all effects are GPU accelerated. And order of effects matters. To make render/export faster, follow these rules:

   a) Ideally don't use CPU-effects at all (keep a timeline "yellow" = maximum speed mode)

   b) If you can't avoid using CPU-effects - don't mix up CPU- and GPU- effects in the same adjustment layer. Doing so will switch rendering into "software only" mode (=very slow). Instead separate GPU and CPU effects in two different layers. Put "GPU-layer" on top of a "CPU-layer". This way GPU-acceleration will actually work

   c) In case of applying effects directly to a clip without adjustment layers: organize effects in a way that all GPU-effects are applied after CPU-effects

   d) and if by all means you have to use some CPU-only effect on top of accelerated ones - then split the job on 2 parts: first you export the timeline with accelerated effects, then re-import and add that necessary CPU-effect(s). This way it'll be much faster than CPU-only render in one pass

Hello,
1). The cache has been cleared.
2). Ok, i did that, slight a change, i  start hearing the vents in the unit so it is a good thing i guess, the 13min export was quicker like before, it was about 5/6min instead of 13min.
3). It was yes red, i put some graphics over the timeline, i don't see how can i make this without making red the timeline where is graphics added. Usually, the timeline before i add the graphics is yellow, it turns red only after i add the graphics.
I'm trying not to do many exports to keep everything clean, Thank you

What is the codec/size of your footage and what codec/format are you exporting to? Those variables will affect the export times just as much as the hardware. Also what version of Premiere are you using? Newer versions have more H.264 acceleration built in.

Hello, i am using the latest version, i am keeping Premiere with the latest updates (v 22.1.2).

The code of the footage is mp42 (mp42/avc1), format MPEG-4, 50fps.


The export is usually in h.264 - Profile Youtube 1080p Full HD
