Media Encoder taking FOREVER compared to Premiere

I am exporting a simple 20-min lecture clip. When I add it to my queue in AME it takes something ridiculous like 30-40+ hours. If I export it from Premiere, it does not take near that long and is manageable. Same settings, same computer, everything.

It's a big part of my workflow add things to AME queue and keep editing in Premiere. How do I get that functionality back? Currently, Media Encoder is useless for me because it takes so long.

What is happening?

    Hi Kevin,

    If issue persists after trying the steps stated by R Neil Haugen & Jim Simon, try the following.

    In Media Encoder > Preferences > General > Premier Pro > Uncheck "Import sequences natively"

    Relaunch Media Encoder, queue the export & test it.

    Please let us know the status.

    Thanks,

    Vidya Sagar.

      PP and AME have separate settings for CUDA.  It can be on in one and off in the other.

      Check that.

      I think something is screwed up in Media Encoder. A typical first thing to try with this is to uninstall/reinstall, and to get it to work, I'd run the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool to do the uninstall of PrPro/AME, then re-boot and download/install a 'fresh' copy of PrPro.
