Solved CPU usage increases a lot when rendering a Video in Camtasia Studio!

[WinAndLinuxTutorials]

When I render a video in Camtasia Studio, the CPU usage becomes very high, most of the time the CPU usage is <65%. I have been facing this issue since version 6 (on my old laptop) and I am now using Version 7.1.1 and the problem is still there.

Please help me.
Thanks

I convert videos and i find every single program i use will make the cpu higher, so im not sure if its common in video editors and converters but it might be

Not much we can do, considering how else the video would render?

I don't use Camtasio StudioCan, but can you change any settings available for CPU usage/rendering?

I get this only if I set Camtasia on high prioty in the task manager.

That's just how it works. You can offload it to the GPU... if the program supports it. Video rendering is very CPU and RAM intensive.

When I render a video, It's best to close off all other programs you have running that way you dedicate all your CPU power for Camtasia.

If you use the High Priority option such as me, You will feel your CPU getting a good workout plus the positive of the video rendering faster.

With any video producing software you will find your CPU getting kicked.

That is what I do.

Video making/editing is meant for high end computers and laptops. So, it is very normal for Camtasia to use a lot of CPU and also RAM. Especially when rendering a video.

it happen even when doing a screen capture

It's very pricey ain't it, was kinda thinking of buying something like this at some point... but out of my price range, any other offerings which is cheaper or even free?

oO(would rep + but jack still toying about with the whole thing heheOo

when rendering video, camtasia use by up to 500K of RAM.
with CPU usage by up to 30%
that's why I fast when rendering video

Same thing about RAM usage, but the problem is the high CPU usage. What is the CPU you have?

Do you think this is normal on an i3 CPU?

 

[win7holic]

it's normal, I think.
Is you open another program also?
such as a browser?

Not always, even when very few programs are running which do consume a very few amount of CPU, it will still be high when a video is being rendered.

Tried/Tested converting normal AVI to HD Plus on Divx earlier just to test CPU & RAM usage, as far as CPU goes I was getting mid 90's... so the CPU really was getting some workout and with it being i3-370 that I have some heat was happening so heard fans giving it a bit of stick.

Assume would be same if used same software you do too.

It's normal man, video rendering takes up a lot of resources.
You can get better hardware if you want.
