I'm rendering my 720p footage in ame instead of ae because i want to use the h.264 codec. when i had my i5 4670k it ran at 100% cpu. but now that i have upgraded to an i7 4970k the render times are about the same and my cpu is only running at 50-70%. When i run the ram preview with exactly the same setting as the ame render, it will go up to 100.
Can someone tell me why it doesnt utilize my cpu fully and how to fix this? and if it isnt possible, is there a codec in ae that is similar to h.264 that i can use instead?
