Media Encoder CC 2017 (11) Very Slow

Usually if you use many effects, files or compositions, it slows down the encoding time. This happened to me before. Try lowering you fps or bit rate. Just clean up your composition and it will render faster. Currently I am encoding an audio spectrum for a friend, and it is taking 23 hours to render and I have seen his work, it is pretty messy.

Says this question has been answered but if that's the only solution to uncheck the "Import sequences natively"
then that's hardly a solution because not everyones AME has that option so is there another solution or is that it? I'm just trying to render simple 50 second videos and it takes like 20 minutes each time, it's ridiculous.

Is there no other solution to this or will there be an update to AME that Adobe plans to make?

Same problem. Very slow.

I want to delete AME right now. I have a MacBook Pro here are the specs:

Ok, not the best for video editing, but it gets the job done. I was exporting a project from AE, and it had 3 lights and quite an assortment of effects. I would estimate my computer could render it in 30ish min. I put the 10 sec. video in the render queue, and left the laptop on all night. I woke up to seeing the video less than halfway done, and 15 HRS LEFT!!! I am really hating this problem Adobe. This is with the new version 15.1.0. There is no excuse for this, and many people like myself can't get work done like this. And yes I am looking into upgrading my computer. Lol.

Include me in on this clock watching group.  I have upgraded with the last upgrade of encoder and AE.  I have a 2 min. video and for grins and giggles I decided to render it out as a 4K.  The only filter effect on it is noise reduction. It said it would take 2 plus hours and it took 2 plus hours.  Cuda was checked. I thought that was because of the 4K, so I rendered it again in Encoder as 1080P and it said it would take 2:01:33.  it looks like that is what it is going to take for a 2 min. video.  Grrrrrrrr!  I have an HP Z840 with only one Xeon processor and yes I already regret not getting the second one.  My GPU is an Nvidea Quadro P4000 with 8 GB of GDDR5.  Not super but not bad.  I think my old HP could have done this well.  Oh I had VBR 1 pass chosen, but I would think that would have made it quicker.  Could there be some changes in the Encoder software that is making it insanely slow???

I'm now having the same issue since the last update.  I've made all the changes to the Encoder settings recommended in this blog. 

I encoding H.264, VBR. 2 passes.  The first pass goes through fine, and time wise is rockin'.  But when the 2nd pass begins, it slows to a crawl the completion time goes on forever.  And right now I've got a four-hour board meeting I'm trying to get out.

Same kind of issues.  Using the exact same settings a 15 minute 1080 timeline will render in 26 minutes, the very next time, same exact settings with a few minor edit changes, the render took 2 hours.  Both times using Software only, because of course GPU renderer crashes on a Lumetri effect half way through. Did not queue from Premiere. Imported sequence from AME's media browser.

Also had a corner pin effect that worked perfectly before suddenly go awry, shoving the image over.  Click on effect controls and "pins" are where they are supposed to be but image is slid over 50%.  Fun!

The Adobe suite if we can call it that (More like the Adobe motel room, infested with bugs) is getting worse and worse. I rarely go through a session without something going wrong. Really bad when you're on a deadline.  Can't trust it to do what it's  supposed to do. Feels like it's time to jump ship and go with Black Magic.  Adobe keeps adding features without improving the core machinery.  What a shame.  I used to recommend Premiere but can't now.

Same here, just started having issues a few days ago. After an update it seems. No system changes. All drivers up to date. We're converting 8K AVC MP4s to J2K, but its only using 10% of the system's resources and taking 4hrs or so per shot. Earlier conversions went under an hour and used full resources.

I've just started having render issues the past week or so. My render times have increased ten fold. I was not having any issues prior to this. I am exporting my short videos (90 seconds)  and they end up taking 45 mins to 90 minutes to export. I'm using very few effects.... slow motion on a few of the clips. Maybe 10 seconds in duration. Like I said, I was not having any issues before. I have updated my video & audio drivers.

This all seemed to go pear-shaped a few versions ago, somewhere around Lumetri coming in.

Whatever is going on in the back-end, I hope Adobe address it somehow in the coming versions. You can't just keep saying "you need a faster computer" or "you need to make proxies". That's just taking backwards steps.
