    I'm grateful for the information. However, I verified this with my PC builder, and it appears that there is a hardware or CPU core issue. But fear not—as soon as I have my PC back, I'll attempt to check. Once again, I sincerely appreciate your assistance😊.

    Hi @Rutvick37025740gmbk,

    I'm glad you were able to nail down a potential source of your bug. Have you received your PC back from your builder and are you clear of this issue yet? Please let us know. I'll move this report into the Discussions forum while we await your response. I apologize for the issue.

     

    Thanks,

    A bit about H.264/long-GOP exports ...

     

    You can select either 1-pass or 2-pass exports. There is a huge effect on processing depending on that choice.

     

    Because all 2-pass encoding must be done by the CPU in total. This process cannot use the GPU on any hardware or software. It's "the rules" set by the people what makes the process.

     

    2-pass encoding will be a LOT slower on most machines!

     

    Another choice is VBR versus CBR ... variable bitrate versus constant bitrate.

     

    VBR encoding means there is a range of data total amounts per frame that will be accepted ... so that when there's a lot of fine detail, more data is created, when there's very little fine detail, a lot less data will be created.

     

    CBR encoding means that no matter the detail level of the image, there will be X amount of detail written to file for that frame. 

     

    In reality, though CBR sounds better, VBR is by far the better choice for most things as you can set the min/max settings to your needs, and not 'waste' data space on stuff that doesn't need as high a data rate.

     

    So unless you really do have specific needs, like ... a service sends a pdf for deliverables that you must abide by ... 1-pass VBR set to a tested, adequate level in final use ... is probably the better choice for nearly all workflows.

     

    But as with anything, TEST!!!!!!! 

     

    If you send to Youtube ... produce a short sequence with a range of images. Do a couple different settings for export data rates, and upload. WAIT 24 hours, to make sure that YouTube has finished their re-encoding process.

     

    Now ... view that on several devices, preferably on both PC and Mac. A TV also.

     

    You'll have the answers you probably need.

    Everyone's mileage always varies ...

        We're frequently getting people, uh, er... 'inquiring' about not using 100% on their systems. So, interesting to see it. And excellent spot by Neil. 🙂

          Very obvious, actually. You chose to use 2 pass H.264  encoding and no GPU is ever used for 2-pass long-GOP encoding. Period.

           

          Use a single pass H.264, and where there are GPU accelerated effects involved  such as color or resizing, the GPU will get used.

           

          That isn't an Adobe choice or under their control. It's "the rule" in video file encoding processing.

            Hello @Kevin-Monahan 

            I appreciate your reply. I am appreciate it.

            Issue - When rendering in Premiere Pro, it uses the entire CPU 100% instead on GPU.

            Adobe Premiere Pro version number: 24.5.0 (build57)

            Operating system - Windows 11 Pro Version 10.0.22631 Build 22631

            System Info:

            CPU: Intel Core i9 14900K upto 6.00Ghz
            Motherboard: Asus Z790 Maximus Hero
            AIO: Asus ROG Ryujin III 360mm AIO
            RAM: Corsair 48x2 Dominator Titanium 6600MHz CL32 Black DDR5 96GB*2
            GPU: Asus RTX 4090 ROG Strix Gaming OC 24GB
            SSD: Corsair 2TB MP700 Core Gen5 M.2 MVMe
            SDD2: Samsung 2TB 990 Pro Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD
            PSU: Asus 1200W ROG Thor II Platinum Modular

            GPU driver version: 555.99 released on June 4, 2024

            Video format: I have added the SS for reference
            Workflow details: just basic for now editing gaming videos
            Steps to reproduce - just basic thing not much high end
            Expected result - why it goes CPU to 100% as its totally depends on GPU for rendering.
            Actual result - while starting export it will constantly 100% usage of CPU.

            Hello @RCGAMER,

            Thanks for filing the bug report and supplying the system information. That will help a lot. However, the team needs more information about your media and workflow. See: How do I write a bug report?

             

            I hope the community or the team can help you shortly. Sorry for the frustration.

             

            Thanks,
