How to increase Premiere export speed while running the app in background?

I'm using Windows 11.

 

If I export a video using Premiere the exporting speed is good.

 

However if I put the app in  background (e.g. if I open a browser and put it full screen above Premiere) the exporting speed is really LOW. 

 

This is because Windows considers it as a "low priority" task and it slows down the export process significantly. This is so frustrating because I would like to use my PC while exporting. I have an high end system so if I put my browser and Premiere side by side I can use both without lag while exporting, however I would prefer to use a full screen browser/app.

 

I tried to go on task manager and to increase Premiere Priority to "real time" but it doesn't change anything.

 

I'm sure this slow down was not happening on Windows 10 or on previous version of Premiere.

 

Any ideas? How to make Premiere fast on export while running in background?

 

Thanks

    It seems that CoreDirector may be worth checking up! 🙂

     

    "CoreDirector is a free Windows application to keep specified processes from being scheduled to efficient cores (E-cores), thereby keeping them on performant cores (P-cores). This allows improved performance in demanding applications, such as gaming, audio production, video editing, and streaming."

     

    Try it and report back! 🙂

      Wow, it works!! Thank you a lot. My CPU is always @ 100% while exporting in background and it also looks a lot faster to export even on foreground.

       

      By the way from the CoreDirector page I can see:

      "A common challenge with heterogeneous CPUs like Intel 12th+ generation is the occasional undesirable scheduling of threads onto the efficient (E) cores, hampering their performance. This issue arises because most applications have not been, and may never be, updated to provide explicit instructions to the scheduler regarding their thread load types, leaving Windows to rely on educated guesses."

       

      So Adobe could add a flag on Premiere preferences to allow us to always use P-Core when available. What do you think about this? Should we open a feature request for this? E-Core in future will always be more wide-spread.

        Glad that it helped! 🙂

         

        Yes, you should definitely file a feature request for this. Here is a link to that forum: Premiere Pro - Adobe Community

          Hmmm... my P and E cores keep humming along nicely, I'm going to have to disagree with that.

            I always stick to the Balanced power plan. The two "hi performance" ones, just run your processor the 100% all time. A sure way to say and early good-bye to the processor.

             

            If you go to the DETAILS page of task manager, you can set the priority of various apps there. I've needed to do that, but that's where you set it. Let us know if it helps.

            I already set high performance and maximum priority to Premiere on details of Task Manager. It doesn't help.

            I would start by going to Control Panel > System and Security > Power Options and make sure that you change the power plan from Balanced to either High Performance or Ultimate Performance. When done, restart the computer and try if anything changed.

            Thanks, it doesn't help. It's already on High performance (I don't see Ultimate Performance).

            Hello Neil, 

             

            before becoming a videomaker I studied as a Software Engineer. I know very well how process scheduling works and the algorithms of process scheduling. It's a complex topic. However using Windows 10 and previous versions of Premiere (and apparently even now on Averdahl's computer) there is no slow down.

             

            So we should try to understand why it's slowed down on my computer while running in background.

             

            Any ideas?


            I've seen @RjL190365 go through things and break down how specifics of the coding and hardware affect certain systems. At my level of knowledge, it's basically test and poke. I've had a few years of doing that to know a lot of the "usual suspects", but am also aware that the specific cause can at times be nearly obscure for certain users.

             

            Hence someone with the encyclopedic knowledg of RJL ... and their assistance becomes crucial.

             

            I've had enough dicussions with staffers at events to know that background operation isn't a huge emphasis for Premiere itself. The basic assumption is this program is a Heavy Lifter app, and if you're using it, it is THE focus of your work. "Background" processing is all setup to be handled in MediaEncoder. But even there, it's designed to work around whatever has primary use of the hardware resources.

             

            So if RJL has some further thoughts, it would be good to know.

            Everyone's mileage always varies ...
