Adobe Media Encoder Long Render Times

[Bang Em]

Running Versions

Premiere Pro: 23.3

Media Encoder: 23.3 build 57

Hardware

GPU: GTX 1660 Ti - Nvidia Studio Driver: 531.61

CPU: Ryzen 3800XT

So my pridicament is that my render times have increased exponentially in the last month or so. A simple 2hr video that i would attempt to render and upscale to 4k using the YouTube 2160p 4K Ultra is now giving me estimates of 35hrs until completion with the video only being 10% complete and its current time elapsed at 5hrs 47mins. 

Now i have tried the following but i still seem to be having the same issue. 

- created new project

- new sequences created

- premiere pro cache deleted

- media encoder cache deleted

- rolledback GPU version

- rolledback premiere pro version

- converted media to .mov and tried the render process again.

- stripped out any keyframes i had set

- removed any additional graphics i had also implemented.

- rebooted PC

I feel like i have tried everything under the sun but still this issue persists. Is anyone out there having similar issues and if so did you manage to resolve them?

I've attached a screen shot of the progress it made earlier. im so stumped and have no idea how to resolve it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey,

I can understand how frustrating this must be. Do you see this issue with the Premiere Pro native exporter as well? Let us know what type of source files and effects (if any) you have added to your sequence. Please share a screenshot of your complete export settings in Media Encoder and source file properties (Project Panel > Right-click on media > Properties) if possible. We're here to help!

Thanks,

Ishan
