Problems with Premier Pro Rendering on high-end PCs following the Windows 10 update are identified.
Hello everyone
As the title indicates, I'm facing a problem with rendering on Premier Pro. Prior to several updates, I regularly edited videos for my YouTube channel—ranging from 10 to 30 minutes, or even shorter clips of 1-2 minutes. I was amazed by the speed of rendering, particularly for the shorter videos, which would finish almost instantly. However, after a few Windows updates, rendering a full HD video from my Twitch stream—just one minute long—now takes 2 to 4 minutes or more. I experimented with both hardware and software encoding, keeping the same bitrates and settings as before. After reinstalling Windows (now version 1809), I've updated all drivers and other software. The render times are slightly improved, but still far from what I was expecting. Could anyone assist in resolving this issue?
My PC specifications are:
- 5900x Ryzen, capable of boosting the 4775 MHz in games (Ryzen Master says control mode is PBO, with a max clock speed of 4.900GHz, though I've never seen it reach that high; voltage is around 1.375 or lower depending on tasks)
- Noctua Cromax Black DH15
- 32GB Vengeance All-Clocked @ 3200 (DOCP profile enabled in BIOS)
- RTX 3080 Evga FTW3 Ultra
- 850W Cougar PSU
- x470 Prime ASUS motherboard
As mentioned, I'm currently running a fresh version of Windows 10 Pro, build 1809.
In the Task Manager, CPU usage is around 4.5GHz with about 30% utilization, and GPU usage is roughly 8% when using a software encoder. The numbers appear reversed when using the Hardware encoder, with slightly better render times (a full HD video without effects took 4:30 minutes on software, compared to 2 minutes with hardware).
How long should a 10-minute full HD video take without any effects? I've just edited the clip. I'm considering more high-quality projects where I'd experiment with colors and effects, so I'm wondering if rendering a 10-minute video could realistically take around 10 hours? I'm concerned about my PC's performance, as it seems to be underperforming after the Windows update. My gaming performance hasn't noticeably dropped, but I'm getting a bit anxious.
If anyone has a few minutes to help me through this, I would really appreciate it. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.
Please let me know if I've missed anything that could help. Have a great day everyone, and thank you in advance!
By default, starting OBS uses a preview mode that handles everything without saving the video. If it runs on all CPU cores, it makes more sense.
Did this change occur after a Windows update? Perhaps an NVIDIA update affected hardware acceleration?
Are you certain the settings in Premiere remain unchanged from before?
If none of these apply, I’d suggest disabling PBO and using only PB, as PBO significantly raises vcore and might be causing problems.
Windows version is currently 20H2. Review system performance using Resource Monitor. Examine Premier Pro specifications – the requirements might be higher than expected. Storage details: type, model, size, and current usage.
System performance is normal.
Higher requirements?
Premier Pro and Windows are installed on my SSD, which is a Crucial 500GB drive, and I also have a 1TB HDD.
This machine began causing me discomfort, and now I’m experiencing severe lag when launching SIMPLY STARTING OBS in games. I’m confused about what’s happening.
