I used to be able to leave Media Encoder running in the background whilst continuing working in After Effects or Premiere Pro. Now media encoder takes over the entire CPU and I can't even use a browser or edit a document if it is encoding.
I am presuming this is something to do with CPU priority. I have tried using the 'renice' command in terminal but it has no impact.
I have a feeling it is a fault in Mac OS rather than Media Encoder as the whole ecosystem has changed with Catalina. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Using version 14.8 build 31
Thank you. Tim

I can't speak to using your browser in conjunction with AME, but there's a checkbox in the Premiere preferences that can at least pause AME encoding while playing back in Premiere.
Premiere Pro > Preferences > Playback > Pause Media Encoder queue during playback
