Hello, I found Resolve Export speed is significantly faster than AE by around 300%. While I did not export to the exact same codec (I think), both were choosen to export the same DNG sequence to a 10 bit RGB clip (resulted same size) without effects applied. I enabled the Multiprocessing setting in AE and all cores work at full load, yet Resolve gets the job done faster. Is this common behavior or is there a way to level AE up?

Resolve leverages the GPU when exporting, I don't think AE does that.

You will probably find that your CPU is not at 100% with resolve because I'm pretty sure the GPU is taking care of it.

My laptop only has a crappy GT525m (96 cuda cores) but the CPU is an i7 quad. and I can encode at about 8fps in resolve with CPU at 30%, and I think that AE is around 2-3 fps and the CPU is maxed out.

I still need to test on my desktop which has a GTX 680 with 1536 cuda cores but a slower than the laptop (Core2Quad 3.0ghz) and see how that goes.  I'll report back when i test.
