Premiere Pro Rendering Extremely Slow (M1 Macbook Pro)

Hello All,

I'm curious if anyone has experienced extremely slow rendering speeds with Premiere Pro on their M1 products, and if so, is there is any fixable solution?

I export a simple 14 minute looping slideshow every week, which used to take me 5-10 minutes to render.

On my new M1 MBP my export time has increased to around 45 minutes! It's agonizing.

From what I can tell, all of my settings are correct and fairly basic.

I feel like I'm missing something (like a big duh moment.) Videos are not my expertise.

I've had some colleagues check my settings but everything seems normal.

Anyone out there able to help?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

Shows they are at least working on an M1 optimized version. I would contact them to be informed when it is released, and/or if you want to become part of the beta program. Keep in mind, beta programs are "unfinished" work, and you should keep any data used with it backed up in a separate location. If you beta with them ask them if they are any compatibility issues moving projects back and forth to the Intel version.

Your export setting look like they should not be problematic. Are you using the latest version of Premiere and Media Encoder that are built to better support the M1 chip?

I would also ask on the Adobe Premiere Pro support forum:

Using Premiere, AE and Media Encoder on my system without issue, but not an M1 system.
