aso checking, render @ maximum depth and quality boxes gives a big hit to render times

FWIW neat video renders relatively fast using GPU even though it is not listed as an accelerated FX in PR

You sure it's not MB Denoiser?  IIRC, that's pretty render intensive.  You could test by turning off the effects, and exporting a section.

Other things that can produce excessive render estimates are bad fonts, corrupt footage, and plugs that got degraded.  I've had to remove plugs and reapply them before.  This may not be what you're seeing, but I'd watch export progress go along at a even rate, then slow to a crawl and the time remaining estimate would go way up while it appeared that it was still rendering.

I usually start from presets and add only minor tweaks. Even CBR and QT P-JPEG are dog slow. At first I thought it was MB Denoiser II or a Windows firewall issue, but nope.

8-12 hours sounds wrong.  I get fast exports from Pr to H.264.  What settings are you using?

One thing I noticed will really slow exports to H.264 is to mess with the Advanced settings, so I never touch those.  

And I don't use Format: Quicktime>H.264.  Use H.264 under Format.

Exporting from Pr or AME is exponentially faster than exporting to uncompressed or ProRes and transcoding in Squeeze.  Squeeze only uses one or two cores, very inefficiently, whereas Pr and AME max out my 8 cores during exports.

Last week, I tried dragging an Ae comp into Pr (Dynamic Link), and then used the export settings in Pr, which are more extensive than the Output Modules in Ae.  Worked very well for me.

I don't think Adobe is doing GPU encoding yet, or it would appear in the marketing bullet points (maybe CS Next some time). Sorenson Squeeze does, and it seems to have a Premiere export plug-in.

I'm now experiencing serious export slowness in Premiere. I have Yellow lines in the Sequence and perfect playback, but exporting takes 8-12 hours to h.264 or QT. Last year for similar material on a similar computer, it was 1 hour to render h.264 (~ 2-hr event videos). I'm not sure even magic words by Todd Kopriva will fix this.

Hey folks,

Does anyone know if/how the GPU is utilized in transcoding files on output in Premiere  or AE with cuda support? In other words are the GPUs being utilized other than when editing?

TIA,
