Extremely Slow Render/Export on Adobe Media Encoder 2022

[Elfean]

I have been waiting for more than 30 mins for the final video to be rendered. It's already 40 mins and it's barely 50% rendered. Never had this issue before. My laptop specs are as below and my GPU is RTX 3070.

Anyone knows how to solve this sudden issue?

Can you post direct vs. AME export times? Can you share the project? I can private message you the instructions.

I'm experiencing the same lag with Premiere Pro, playback and export. A one minute video is taking five minutes to export, and anthing longer than 30 minutes is taking in excess of three hours.
My CPU is maxed out, and GPU at 0-5% use - again the RTX 3070.
I've uninstalled the app, tried different versions - it all the same laggy performance.
I'll try the beta app to see if that's any better.

Can you please share your specs (OS, CPU, GPU, memory)?

Same here. I am trying to export a simple 2 minute avi file from Premiere CC 2024 to ME. I am encoding to H264 for youtube It was taking 10 minutes before I killed it. It use to fly across. Now it goes in short spurts. 

I have  a Ryzen 7 7800x3D 8 core processor, 128 GB of DDR5 ram and all SSD drives. I should be flying but I feel like I am on a Win 98 SE machine with IDE hard drive

Would you be able do do a screen recording and provide a short sample project? I will file a bug. I can send you the instructions via private message in this forum.

Which AME 24.x version were you using? Is it the same in AME 25.0 beta?

I don't have a screen recorder. It is a straight forward avi to h264 medium adaptive export. I am using ME 24.6.1 (Build 2). I do not have 25 beta.  It seems to be working faster today.  Last week, a 2 hour video was going to take a few hours.  Today it looks like it will be around 30 minutes. I notice that it is encoding in bursts. I don't seem to recall it doing that in the past. Does that sound normal? And for the record, when I exported this video taken from my phone, it blew right through without any hiccups,though it is only a few seconds long

We do not have something like bursts. Depending on the material the communication between apps may take a bit.

I'm stuck with this export. Is there anything that can be done to speedup? 

I've changed the background of the video and replaced with an image. Other than that, no effects are used. Video is roughly 60seconds long. 

Used after effects to change the background, pushed to encoder to export. 

Thank you in advance.

A while ago, and I mean a few years ago, I had this problem and spent a whiole researching the issue.

At the time, I documented what I learnt and found these notes to be helpful.

• Media Encoder the update selected "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only" so make sure you select under
  
  Preferences/General/ Video Rendering " Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Metal) Recommended.
  
  Check in premiere as well, apply the same setting and then restart.
  
  
• Media Encoder Preferences > General > Uncheck "Import sequences natively" and try export again.
  
  
• Deactivate parallel encoding

• Put source and target on different physical hard drives

• The source file needs on a fast drive - and I mean fast, 2GB/s minimum, better 3GB/s (M.2 NVMe with 4xPCIe for example), with 3GB/s+ it may also be possible to keep source and target on same physical drive.
