as for output - PP does use multiple CPU's. just watch the Activity monitor. this is especially true for h.264 output. not sure there needs to be any control of this. if you are doing a direct export you want everything to be used so it gets done as fast as possible. FWIW I find when I have a longer output I can still flip to a browser or other light app and still have ok responsiveness. OTH I wouldn't be jumping in to AE.... go file a FR with adobe for the format you need. 16bit TIFF isn't something most editors are ever going to want to output. you can always send the TL to AE, not ideal but gets the job done.

Various things – multi-core optimizations and control, lack of support of various formats (i.e. try outputting a 16-bit TIFF with LZM compression turned on) much less straightforward color management etc.. Plus an overly busy UI for a featured more limited than AE. And AME’s performance is underwhelming especially with AE files. GPU accelerated rendering in a panacea.

It’s not a crash/buggy as it used to be though – that has improved.

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.

Curious about the render output problems or engine you are referring to.
I’ve not had issues exporting from PPro using Export Media or via Media Encoder (both of those things seem to share a common or very similar codebase).

The biggest things I find myself explaining to people is that “Smart Export” (copying as it exports) only applies when the source and destination codecs match and also explaining what the “Maximum Quality” and “Use Previews” checkboxes do.

The issues I used to have with disappearing rendered previews have vanished with the latest version.

It’s just disappointing the Premiere’s codebase is still far from where it needs to be – memory issues like this and it needs a render output engine like AE.
