Slow Exporting Performance with Premiere 2019 (Windows)

Having the exact same issues. Over an hour to export a 6 minute video with a very capable machine. I think this 2019 release of CC is the final nail in the coffin for me. After being a professional adobe user for 8 years, I'm done. These releases just get worse and worse.

    Jonathan,

    I work on the Premiere Pro engineering team and I'd be more than happy to help you resolve these issues.

    We've been trying to isolate issues from a large thread that was headed in many directions.

    I have been reaching out to users on the original thread for the past couple days.

    Many issues have been related to specific drivers and hardware configurations. 

    Can you share your hardware config details and current version of drivers being used?

    Hi JonathanF,

    I understand our engineering staff has helped you with your export and it was a success. I also understand you were given some workflow tips that will assist you in the future. Since you have not returned to the thread, we will mark this one as solved (correct), unless you still have an issue you still need fixed. Let us know!

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    No, do not mark this as solved. My exports are not a success, they run, literally, ten times as slow as they did with PR 2018. This is ridiculous. I'm done with Adobe, This is the last month you'll get my money

    jonathan, is your drive formatted ExFAT? What codec are the source video files in?

    My drives are always, and have always been, formatted as ExFAT. This is a must for my workflow. The codec is XAVC S from the Sony A6500 and A7 III. I also have dynamic links in my project. I know a lot of these COULD be causing my issue, the thing is, they shouldn't be causing issues. These are all standard things. I shouldn't have to stop using dynamic link, change my workflow or the way I format drives, change my codec preferences etc.

    The new curves and other features are cool, but FCP X and/or Resolve are just flat out better choices now. Premiere and After Effects are so full of bugs, slow downs and arbitrary hurdles that it's just not worth it anymore. Then there's also the fact that since 2018 PR and AE only utlilize about 1/4 to 1/3 of my 8th gen Intel CPU/Nvidia GPU processing power at peak loads due to being so unoptimized for modern hardware.

    It's sad. I love adobe and WANT to use their products, but I no longer can in a professional environment.

    I agree. Very frustrating. Hopefully Adobe will fix it.
