I read about how adobe does it. it looks at a watch folder to see what frames haven't been processed yet. It only works on image sequences because there's no way to know when a video frame is done being processed as some are not I frames. either you would need a really sophisticated algorithm or a way to have media encoder see the same folder across several virtual machines. theoretically should work with premiere by chopping up the timeline into equal in/out points as image sequence. ----------- also, I read a nice review that said the fastest exports for AE was 6GB RAM per core. " if you are exporting to H.264 1080p, you would ideally want a CPU with about four or six CPU cores!." https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Adobe-Premiere-Pro-CC-2015-Multi-Core-Performance-Update1-806/#TestSetup Try starving premiere of excess cores/threading if you don't have RAM=Cores*6 anothe article said that premiere can't see past 24 cores anyway. and some effects are single threaded(len distortion), so add them later after final export. and finally, ---------- - The Super Fast Premiere Export Guide - 1. run creative cloud software update 2.launch media encoder before opening premiere(there's a single core bug if its opened after) 3. cleane the cache setting, delete temp files 4.update neatvideo and run its optimize tool. 5. check if cpu's are parked. The utility is called ParkControl or select High Performance profile in Control Panel-Power management 6. change available memory by changing the rendering optimization preference to Performance from Memory or visa versa if you have large image formats. 7. shrink large images to sequence size before importing into premiere, stay away from PNG, they are not thread safe! 8. don't use lumetri 9. enable smart rendering 4x-12x faster render http://blogs.adobe.com/kevinmonahan/2012/10/11/smart-rendering-in-premiere-pro-cs6-6-0-1-and-later/ 10. don't use adjustment layers 11. don't use 64 cube luts 12. don't use dynamic link with AE projects. render them out first, expecially warp stabilized shots
