I've been playing around with various demanding games and also using Adobe Photoshop and After Effects for my design work.   Currently, I’m torn between getting an NVIDIA RTX series card or an AMD Radeon card. Does anyone have experience with both in terms of performance and compatibility with Adobe Creative Suite? I want to make sure whatever I choose can handle intensive tasks without issues.   For reference, one of the games I'm developing for is a high-intensity, multiplayer car game similar to <link removed-kglad>.  I need a card that can handle such graphics smoothly while also being great for video rendering and graphic design work.   Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!   Thanks!

Hi everyone!I have a question. I have been dissatisfied with my RTX 3060 12GB for the past few months (I had the same experience using Premiere with the GTX 1660). I am also not happy with my NVIDIA graphics card in other scenarios. Therefore, I am considering building my next PC not only with an AMD CPU, but also with an AMD GPU. I am thinking about a setup with a Ryzen 5 7600X or Ryzen 7 7700X, 64GB of RAM and an RX 7600XT.For those of you who have experience with AMD GPUs in Premiere, could you please tell me how well they perform? I heard in an AMD presentation that there is good support for AMD GPUs in Premiere.Thanks in advance!And also for you to understand, I use After Effects compositions in my projects and various plug-ins for Premiere, so keep that in mind.

my work- printing designs for large print sizes like billboards, booth designs, web design, video editing, after effects bit of 3D, want to future proof for atleast 6 yearspurpose of getting mac- portability, better workflow, industry integration, designright now I am super confused between two configurations in max chip I am leaning towards a 14 inch max with 36 gb ram but somewhere I am thinking that this amount of ram will lag in the future and affect my professional workflow, like 4k video exports, 3d renders or adding effects to big size illustrator files (somethings I face issue in my current windows laptop with 16gb ram and rtx 4070 laptop), then getting a 48gb ram in 14 inch what the apple salesperson advised me to avoid due to heating issues he suggested 16 inches for this configurationnow with 16 inches my portability will suffer and a 48gb ram is way over my budget to affordlooking for cases where you face problems with 14 inch macbook pro max so I can make an informed choic

Hey there. I currently use After Effects to edit videos. Most of the clips are 4k but I downscale them to 1080p but stilll without any effects just the clip imported to a 1080p composition and resolution set to 1/4 i get very laggy previews. I have to encode those to prores and then i can preview smoothly at 1/4 resolution but 1-2 effects make it laggy again. Im currently using a igpu. I want to know will a external gpu be enough to solve this problem or I need a entire new system for fixing this.My specs:CPU: Intel Core i3 10100MOBO: MSi B560M Pro-EGPU: Intel UHD630RAM: Corsair 2x8GBSSD: Crucial P3 Plus 1tb

Hi Guys, I want to add a Nvidia 3060 12gb version to my system to get better timeline performance and when twiddling with effects and color grading. Final render speeds for me take a back seat. I can wait. What i want is more responsiveness on the UI for color grading. For example when i change workspaces theres a 7 to 8 secs pause the the screens white out. I want to over come these. My current rig is...*Processor -Ryzen 7 -5700G (8 Cores+16 Threads) @ Base Clock 3.8 Ghz And Max Boost Clock 4.6 Ghz (Architecture -Zen 3).

Hello, everyone!I'm starting a new project that requires editing directly from disk, and I'm interested in keeping all the material and the project in the same place. The material weighs approximately 5TB, so I would like to ask for recommendations for external hard drives that meet the following requirements: -Large capacity (8TB or more). -Good read/write speeds. -Reasonable price. I know that SSDs offer the best performance for editing, but I understand that external SSDs with capacities greater than 4 TB are scarce or very expensive. What options would you recommend?

Nvidia has announced, or will soon announce, that all remaining pre-Turing (this means all pre-RTX-generation) GeForce and Quadro GPUs will become depreciated to legacy driver support status after the release of the forthcoming version 580 branch of the Nvidia graphics drivers. All remaining GeForce 700-series (GTX 745, GTX 750 and GTX 750 Ti), GeForce 800M and Quadro K-series (K620, K1200 and K2200) GPUs, plus all GeForce 900- and 10-series, GeForce MX 110, MX 130, MX 150, MX 230, MX 250, MX 330 and MX 350, the Titan X, Titan X (Pascal), Titan Xp and Titan V, and the Quadro M-, P- and V-series GPUS–all based on the Maxwell, Pascal or Volta architecture– will be affected. The GeForce 16-series GPUs and the professional T-series GPUs will not be affected as those two series are derived from the RTX 20-series/Quadro RTX series (Turing architecture) GPU line, and will therefore continue to be supported in the drivers above the 580 branch for the foreseeable future. As a result of thi

Hello,I just bought a second hand GPU intel arc B580 as an upgrade to my GTX 1060 card to help me with 4K video editing of 10 bit 422 h265 footage that my camera shoots.The card passed all the standard stress tests in furmark and OCCT just fine.But when I try to edit any 4K footage or project that I worked on in the past, there are artifacts throughout my playback window as seen on the video at 0:20 and further.Any idea what might causing that?The GPU is also very underwhelming in terms of performance, but I have no comparison since till now all the "heavy lifting" was done by my CPU, and it was handling the playback smoothly. Usually it gets to a point where in device manager it shows GPU stuck at "copy 100%" and premiere crashes after a while of this jittery artifacty playback.My other components:CPU: R9 5950xRAM: 128 GB @ 3600 MHzAsus ROG Strix B550 - APSU: Corsair RM1000x SHIFTVideo showing the artifacts - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQqgQCZvluUAny advice appreciated.

I post regularly on the After Effects forums where I do my best to help others.  And I frequently see requests on reddit and youtube for advice about picking between two computers. Having asked around and looking at this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/premiere-pro/kb/hardware-recommendations.html I began to think about how I've bought computers in the past and generally any big purchase I make involves making a spreadsheet.    I've put together a "score card" for buying a PC for either PP or AE, but I'd like some feedback, if anyone is willing.  I'm not sure this would be helpful to someone buying an high-end machine, I'm thinking more about people starting out, deciding where to spend any extra cash.  For example, "Is deal B (that costs £300 more than deal A), worth it for a second hard drive?"   https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1orl6o4UpLKgu2x7hmOIcb5vKNaGn8ezYmlm-WyZjTM0/edit?usp=sharing   This is a work-in-progress, so I'd love some feedba

Hi all,I'm planning to use a GeForce GTX 1650 in my new HL15 (2.0) case build. Just wanted to confirm if anyone here has run it in this chassis and if there were any clearance or airflow issues?Also curious if anyone has tried running it with the front fan removed to allow extra GPU length - does the 1650 benefit much from that in this case?Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,I'm planning to buy the Gunnir Intel Arc A380 Photon 6G OC (6GB GDDR6) mainly for video editing using Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.Here’s my current PC configuration:Processor: Intel i3-10100RAM: 16GBMotherboard: Gigabyte B560M Gaming HDI’ve heard that Intel ARC GPUs had some driver issues in the past. Just wanted to ask, have those been resolved in recent updates? Does the A380 now work reliably with Adobe software?Would appreciate any insights before I make the purchase.Thanks in advance!

Bonjour à tous,Je travaille principalement sur After Effects (animations, compositions complexes) et je dois changer de machine.J'hésite actuellement entre :PC : Ryzen 9 9950X3D avec 128 Go de RAM DDR5Mac : Mac Studio M4 Max avec 128 Go de RAMJe précise que je n'ai jamais travaillé sur Mac jusqu'à présent. Je suis donc habitué à Windows pour tout ce qui concerne le workflow After Effects.Mon objectif est d'avoir la meilleure fluidité possible dans After Effects , notamment :Prévisualisation RAM rapideTravail fluide sur des compositions lourdesRéactivité générale sans ralentissementsMême en lisant de nombreux benchmarks, j'ai du mal à être convaincu de manière claire sur la puissance réelle du M4 Max face au Ryzen 9950X3D. D'autant que l' écart de prix important entre les deux configurations me fait hésiter sérieusement.Si certains d'entre vous ont pu tester l'un ou l'autre dans un cadre After Effects intensifié, vos retours d'expérience seraient vraiment précieux.Merci beaucoup !

Hi,fessing up that I am clueless when it comes to computers and what is needed for video editing (the last time i edited anything was 24 odd years ago on a i mac).  I have been asked by some clients to make some tuitional videos and I haven't a clue what specs I need when it comes to a PC.  My current PC is about 10 years old and wont handle Premier Pro (which I have as part of my Adobe Package).I have been to my local independent shop who quoted £2500 to build me one (my financier and wife) says for that price it had better be able to travel in space and time.I then checked with my local PCworld Curries and have these specs.  And I have absolutley no idea as to whether they are good enough to edit video or not.  My video will be either shot on a Canon R7 and a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 both using 4K Any help would be greatly appreciated.  My budget is approx £1000 Specs: - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060- 8 GB GDDR6RAM- 16 GB DDR4 (3600 MHz)- 128 GB maximum ins

I have over 100 episodes of 20-minute 1080p .mxf footage and plan to use a media intelligence search tool. My current 2017 iMac (i5, 32GB RAM) struggles even with just 30 short MP4 clips (30 seconds to 2 minutes) when using the tool — it constantly shows a “memory running out” warning. What specs would you recommend for smooth, AI-assisted processing of large .mxf files? I’m considering a MacBook Pro M4 Max with 128GB of RAM, but I’m not sure if that’s sufficient.

I tried downloading Adobe InDesign CC app on my MacBook Air and found out it's too old to run InDesign. My laptop is on MacOS Big Sur and can't be updated to a later operating system anymore. (Doesn't really have enough memory anyway and it's an old computer). I'm on a very tight budget but need to be able to run InDesign mostly for documents, layouts, etc. Will a refurbished 2019 MacBook Pro work? It doesn't have the latest M series core processors, but does have retina display, 16GB memory, 512GB storage, 4GB video card and i9 processor.  I don't want something that won't work in a year, but I'm happy if I can get 3 years of good use out of a refurbished model. At that point I may be able to afford a new one.Thanks for your help.

Hello, my name is Usman. I am a video editor and an SEO specialist. I mainly work on motion graphic projects in video editing, and as many of you may know, these projects can put a significant load on any system. Currently, I am working with an HP Probook 435, but I’ve realized it’s no longer capable of handling both my video editing and blogging tasks efficiently. Given my workload, it’s crucial for me to upgrade to a high-end system. Therefore, I’m reaching out to ask for your suggestions on a powerful system that can easily handle my editing and blogging projects. Ideally, I’m looking for a system with at least 4 cores or more, and one that can manage even my largest video projects effortlessly. I’m eager to hear everyone's recommendations and plan to make a purchase as soon as possible. So, if you have any suggestions, please share them without hesitation. Thank you!

Hi,  Would lkie to connect Premiere to Panasonic Moniter thru SDI, this is what I had found, need solution, thanks "Based on the search results, the Grass Valley STORM 3G is not designed for direct compatibility with Adobe Premiere Pro.EDIUS-Centric Design: The STORM 3G is a hardware device specifically built to enhance the video editing workflow within the EDIUS software. It provides features like 3G-SDI I/O and HDMI output for professional video editing and monitoring in conjunction with EDIUS.Third-party support in Premiere Pro: While Adobe Premiere Pro is open to integrating with third-party I/O hardware like those from Blackmagic Design, Matrox, and AJA, the Storm 3G isn't mentioned among these.GV STRATUS for Premiere Pro: Grass Valley does have solutions to integrate with Premiere Pro, such as the GV STRATUS extension plug-in, but this is a separate product from the STORM 3G and designed for different workflows.3D editing in EDIUS: The Storm 3G supports 3D editing

Hello everyone,I have been trying to piece together a new setup for 3D modeling and rendering but I am  way out of my depth. After hours of reading, I am  still not confident I am  picking the right parts.Main goals: fast renders,stable multitasking. No gaming.AMD Ryzen 9 5900X32GB DDR4 RAM (thinking 2x16GB)ASUS B550 boardTB NVMe + 2TB HDD for storageStill unsure about:Which GPU gives the best performance for Blender (RTX 3070 or 4060 maybe?)Power supply wattage and brand (quiet if possible)Cooling — is stock cooler enough or do I need an aftermarket one?I will be using Windows 11. Just want something that won,t choke under render loads like my last build did. Any suggestions or tweaks would be a huge help. Thanks in advance. 

I have a laptop with an iGPU and a RTX4070.When using premiere pro, I notice that until about 30% of export, the RTX4070 is used. After that, premiere pro makes it switch to the iGPU.I have tried following steps:- Using windows settings, setting the preferred GPU to the RTX4070- Using Nvidia control panel to put premiere pro under the RTX4070- Going into BIOS and tell my system to use the RTX4070 GPU only Are there other steps I can do to make it actually really use the RTX4070?Or did I really spent this much money on a laptop, in order to have an old brick when it comes to premiere pro?If so, it is time to say goodbye to Adobe for video editing, as the least they could do is put a MASSIVE disclaimer when looking at the website of premiere pro when checking GPU compatibility to check whether a future expense is a good one. I did not just spent almost €2000 to have a brick when it comes to video editing, that is outperformed by my 12 year old pc that back then cost only 1000 t

Hey guys.The prices of 5000 AMD series are decreasing, and since I have recently build a AM4 platform with 32gb of ram (which is enough for me) I am considering upgrading from my Ryzen 5600X to an 5900X -- it has double the cores and threads, jumping from 6 / 12 to 12 / 24, if compared to 5600X, my actual processor.My idea is to give my machine some additional lifetime, since I have no intention of changing the whole platform to a AM5.Does it worth the upgrade, in your sincerely opinion?Thank you so much for your attention. 

Hi everyone,I'm new here, so it's nice to meet you all! 😉 I'm posting because I'm looking for advice regarding very slow rendering and overall poor performance in Adobe Premiere and After Effects on my workstation. I bought this setup expecting that a dual-CPU configuration with Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors would be more than sufficient for smooth video editing, without long wait times for rendering. Unfortunately, rendering is extremely slow compared to, for example, an i9-14900K setup (13 minutes for a sample project), while my HP Z840 workstation takes a staggering 1 hour and 45 minutes for the same project — which is a colossal difference. This Xeon setup has many cores, along with 64 GB of ECC RAM and an NVIDIA Quadro M4000 GPU.However, during rendering, CPU and GPU usage stays around 5–10%, which is shockingly low. I don’t understand why this is happening. Can anyone help me identify the issue and suggest what I can do to make my machine run more efficiently?

I need to create meditation sounds in 10 hours playlist. I use Premiere Pro.The only video track is the static business logo.The only audio track is the music playlistExport: H.264 1080p 30fps low bitrate Using RTX2060 on a Core i7-7700 I can render this project in 30 minutes. If I use RTX 5090 ( Core i9 - 14900k), can I render in much less time (5 - 8 minutes)?I need to know if i invest in a new PC or I need other strategy. Thank you.This is my first time typing in a forum.

We're purchasing a dedicated Windows computer to run Premiere Pro (and other Adobe Suite software).  What would be the optimum specs for a computer to run the software smoothly, balancing cost and functionality?   We generate short (5-10 minute) instructional videos incorporating a lot of animation and effects.  

Hello, I'm having a lot of difficulty rendering with high resolution, that is, 8000px, in demension. I asked Adobe support for a lot of help, but I couldn't solve the problem. I also installed other versions of Demension to see if it could be from the update, but I couldn't solve the problem either. Today I made changes to nvidia (adobe support link) and I still can't render. I'm out of options, I've been unable to render high resolution images for two days and I can't find any solutions. Is there anyone going through the same thing? I really need help solving this problem, last week I was able to do this render without any problems, and today I can't work on the demension anymore, can you help me? adobe support link: https://helpx.adobe.com/dimension/common-issues/gpu-rendering-is-disabled.html#sa_src=web-messaging
