Why GPU not being used at all in rendering

[Gt279546939n7u]

I'm trying to render a 5.30 minute clip edited on Ae through Me; it's taking about 30 hours to render because CPU usage is 90-100%, GPU 1-2%.

Render settings:

H.264

60fps

VBR pass 1 is set to 40 mbps.

Footage is from YouTube in .webm

 

Even on parts that have effects like magic bullet looks, s_filmdamage, and turbulent displacement (the rest of the edit is simple with subtitles and an emoji png), GPU is not used. What's the use of GPU encoders and decorders when they're not used at all?

How can I increase render speed? Everything is set to CUDA renderer

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Your versions should be in synch in order to DynamicLink work properly.
