Questions

Hi, I'm really new to video editing and not much of an IT expert. I was wondering if anybody could advise me regarding this. I've read the minimum specs on the adobe site and I think maybe my laptop falls below in a few areas. For example my graphics card just says AMD Radeon whereas the minimum seems to be a Radeon Pro. Will this mean that Premiere Pro won't work at all, or would it still work but not up to it's full potential?Also, and I'm sure I should know what this is, there is a minimum network storage connection - does this mean I need cloud storage? Thanks for any advice

Can someone suggest a CPU on a DDR4 forum?My desktop computer is used for regular home activities as well as amateur photo and video editing. I use Photoshop and Premiere Pro. I don’t play games. I use Windows 10.The Intel 8th Gen Core i5 8400 was suggested. Could someone please help me especially with choosing a CPU. It seems as if after Black Friday, there are no more i5 8400 CPU's available at a reasonable price.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if there is anyone here with a Quad-Core (i5 or i7) Surface Pro 7 here? The reason I'm asking is because I've been running some tests on Surface Pro 5 and Surface Pro 6 (just upgraded from 5 to 6) and the results were surprising: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24sZCntPzNM I ran some tests in AE and PR using the same files and the same CC version, and I'd like to have a comparison with Surface Pro 7 to see if I'd gain anything if I were to get Surface Pro 7 instead of 6. I can provide the files I used for anyone willing to help     All best, Marek

The problem is pretty simple, my GTX1060 is not used for export or playback. The export times from 4 minutes on a 4k 200mbs have gooing  up to 24minutes because the CPU does almost anything. The GTX is used between 10-18%, CPU 100% Cuda is activated for this and I didnt change anything at all. The only thing what happend during that month is an update to Premiere. So what do I need to get it running again?  I dont have any secondary GPU/iGPU

I have my OS and programs on an NVME. I will have another NVME one day for projects and assets.Right now I have my projects on a new SSD. I have my scrach/media cache on an old SSD but I'm afraid that SSD has issues so I'm thinking about trashing it and replacing it with a new one. I have 4 USB 3.1 ports. So I'm wondering, would be better performance to use a large 3.1 flash drive for scratch and cache so I don't use/wear out an SSD?Lastly, is it better to have the scratch/media on the fastest drive or the assets/projects on the fastest drive?

Can anyone point me to discussions on good physical editing tools that connect and are alternatives to a keyboard? I don't do a lot of complex editing. Just need a good scrubbing wheel and trim buttons.  I saw an article on Loupedeck CT but I'm looking to try to compare. thanks

Hi all,I wanted to increase the power of my computer by adding a Tesla K10 GPU to the gtx1080 that I already have.I wanted to know if this configuration would benefit me in editing and in rendering time?I do not find clear information about it ... sometimes I read that premiere pro can not use 2 gpu at the same time ... is that true?Regards, and thank you very much

Hi,Please can anyone suggest PC configuration to handle 4K (minimum 2 tracks on Screen) Video Editing?I can see following available for sale, is this good enough? 2x 6-Core Intel Xeon E5-2667 2.90 GHz Processors32 GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM1x 500GB SSD 2x 1TB HDD (RAID Configuration) XFX R7-260X AMD Graphics Card 2GB GDDR5  CPU 12 Cores. is this enough?How much RAM / Type and Speed is required?What should be the HDD / SSD Read & Write Speed for 4K?GPU Suggestion? I'm using Premiere Pro CS6, should I upgrade to CC? I'm looking for a minimum / budget configuration. Will appreciate any suggestions / advice.Thanks in advance.  

Hi guys, For example, my Cintiq Pro 16 covers 94% sRGB range, if I use it connected to a laptop (screen) that outputs only 57%, which range is being outputted on the screen? I am assuming the Cintiq Pro is as colour accurate as stated regardless of what is powering it, am I correct? Thanks in advance.

Hello.Need help.I can't work with .mov files hevc (h.265) 1080pPremiere CC 2019  open a files but not played. (video duration does't matter).mov hevc h.265 processes only Intel 6th Gen  Is that true?My CPU is i5 3th Gen.What to do, need to buy a processor or there are other ways (with software)What do you think?By the way, I use Windows 7/10 x64

Question ; will editing and rendering in premiere be substantially faster on a new fully speced M1 mac mini as opposed to my multicore 2013 trashcan pro?  Now with rosettaand in future with dedicated M1 sorry if this is a basic question but I've spent hours searching net and so many mixed messages.. I understand M1 premiere is just beta testing.  

Is there anyone using Mac Mini M1 for video editing?Can it handle 4K editing?Can anyone post some information, experience or may be benchmarks including Blackmagic Raw Speed Test?  

While I understand a mini PC doesn't usually have great hardware capabilities like a regular sized tower, is there one that would be good enough to use Premiere Pro 2020 (w/ at least 16 GB of RAM) for less than $1,200? Would the HP ProDesk 600 G4 Business Mini Desktop (Intel Hexa-Core i5-8600T, 16GB DDR4, 256 GB PCIe SSD) be suffice?*I have an external 500GB SSD. 

I have the following configuration: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6Ghz - 4.4GHZ16 GB 3000 MHz RAM6GB GDDR6 RTX 2060512 GB NVME SSD SYSTEM DRIVE4TB 5400RPM HDD STORAGE I am using this as after effects machine. I store my projects on HDD and my software and windows are on SSD. I currently work from HDD. The disk cache is located on the system SSD. Now please tell me if I should make a partition from the system SSD and manually copy projects from HDD to improve performance. Would it make any noticeable difference in workflow speed and render time? Or should I try something else? I will have to work with what I have and cannot buy/change any more pieces of hardware. Please guide.

Hello all.Total noob here with a little Lightroom and Premiere experience. I am choosing parts for a new PC and have some quesitons about optimal storage arrangements. B550 motherboard, with a 5900x (when I can get one) and either a 3070 or 3080.I understand the OS and software should be installed on an M.2 drive, and then maybe I can use large HDDs for archiving old projects, but what is the fastest and most efficient set up for the rest of the process?Do I need to have separate project and scratch discs? Should I use the second M.2 mobo slot for one of these? What should an SSD be used for? Could you also please recommend specific sizes for all of these?I will be using the computer for: Maya, Substance, ZBrush, Nuke / Modo / Mari, Houdini, Redshift etc, and Adobe Creative Suite (mostly Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere).Thank you 🙂Chris

I use premiere pro for contant production on a semi-regular basis. Some of my bigger projects take a while to actually render and/or exhibit bad timeline performance due to the lack of hardware acceleration. My question is, when is hardware acceleration not going to be restricted to very specific circumstances. That is, unless I'm doing something wrong, but a lot of my research point me to the fact that dedicated cards can't do hardware encoding, because reasons

Recurrentemente se ha hablado en el foro de cual monitor era más recomendable para el procesado de las fotos, pero ahora ya hace un tiempo de la última vez que se habló sobre ello. Animo a los que más se conozcan este tema que nos digan que monitor es el más recomendable a día de hoy.Cuando realmente tomo una decisión, quiero saber cuál es la diferencia entre sRGB, Adobe RGB y DCI-P3 en el monitor?

Hi! I know there is a lot of threads with a similar question but I would appreciate if someone is kind enough to suggest the best setup for my specific situation. I am using mostly Photoshop and After Effects and a little bit of Illustrator. I have 3 disks, a 250GB SSD, 500 GB NVME and a 1TB HDD (+ external hard drives for backup) Correct me if I am wrong but I would build my machine like this:250GB SSD for Windows + Adobe + Office500GB NVME for the projects I am currently working on + scratch disk1 TB HDD for the projects I need quick access, but not currently working on them I find the size of them appropriate for my needs. I am just wondering if its better to put Software and current project on NVME and then use the SSD as the scratch disk or is my original idea the right way to go? Thanks,Matej

I got an Nvidia P4000 last spring, and have had trouble with it ever since. Half the time my PC reboots, it doesn't detect the card. It got so bad that I eventually took it out altogether and ran an older K4200 with my Windows 7 system which always ran flawlessly.So, now I just built a new Windows 10 system. Intel i9 8 core CPU, 64 gigs memory, booting from an M.2 card (which I didn't even know existed before building this thing). Just blows my 9-year-old Win7 system away. But I still can't use the P4000! Windows would not boot with the card installed with Nvidia drivers without going through a repair sequence. Eventually, the system just quit seeing the card at all. Also, I really ought to mention that the P4000 not once outputted any video on the new machine.The good news is that PNY will replace the card, after many, MANY attempts at tweaking & twiddling and resintalling Windows and resintalling drivers, moving cards around, updating Windows, BIOS, firmware...snooze....So,

When I try to render footage from my PC I am unable to use hardware encoding.  The encoding menu looks like this in the export media menu:This has been a persistent issue on this computer.  I tried reinstalling adobe, installing older versions of adobe, and installing older graphics drivers, and last but not least completely wiping the computer and reinstalling windows.  So far nothing has re-enabled hardware encoding.  This issue does not appear present in Adobe Media Encoder CC 2019:My configuration:Windows 10 Pro build 1809Nvidia graphics driver 417.35ASUS X99-E-10GIntel i7-6950xEVGA GTX 1080Ti64GB RAMI'm really not sure what's going on here.  I'm running a perfect clean install with just the system's necessary drivers, google chrome, and adobe installed.  When I render with software encoding, whatever that means, it is slow and unstable, and I get rendered files that are full of artifacts.  Using software encoding Premiere will frequently crash an

Hello,I am wondering if it is time for an upgrade to my system. I have been experiencing stuttering and lag on the preview while trimming clips, I have to Render In to Out in order to watch the the timeline video in real time. The peak of problems occurred trying to render a transitions heavy video (a template from Motion Array) for final output. I'm not looking for a miracle computer, just looking for smooth playback, final rendering time that's reasonable and no lag.Here are the computer specs. Essentially it is a pre-built HP with a NVIDIA GPU and has been going strong since 2012: OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 ProSystem Model HP Z420 WorkstationProcessor Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1620 0 @ 3.60GHz, 3601 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 24.0 GBNVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 (driver version 397.93)Adobe Premiere Pro CC 12.11And here is a screenshot of what happens when I export a plain cut of media: 25 seconds of 4K footage to standard 1080P YouTube format. Th

I have just updated to 14.6 from 14.3 and was exporting some recent projects to confirm everything was working OK but I noticed the 14.6 version is slower by about 30% than 14.3 even though it is meant to have performance upgrades.My setup is an i9 9900k, GTX 1080ti, 32GB ram and 1TB m2 drives for both OS and caching drive, the OS is Win 10 Version 1909. Nothing else has changed other than the update. All the footage I use is H.264 and I export to the Youtube H.254 1080 profile.The main difference is that 14.6 is only using about 20% of the CPU cores when exporting whereas 14.3 used 95% of the CPU cores. The GPU usage is more consistent with 14.6 at about 60% were 14.3 was varying from 20% to 90%.I have gone back to 14.3 because of the lack of CPU usage just making the whole export process slower than before.My question is:  Is 14.6 optimized more towards the newer 10th gen CPU's and the RTX 3080 as I'm looking at upgrading to those soon but if Premier is going to be slower w

I've seen posts about how to optimize if I have 3 drives.SSD#1: OS and softwareSSD#2: Project and source mediaSSD#3: Media CCache and Scratch If I only have 2 hard drives however, what's the optimization?  OS and software on one and project and media on the second?

This is my current machine. I've been reading through this article on storage optimization.I currently have an HDD and NVME. I am looking to buy an additional SSD. I currently have my OS and Creative Cloud apps on the NVME, and then I have my project files, cache, source media, scratch, exports and archive on the HDD.Should I move my project files to the NVME with the OS, and have the apps, cache, scratch, and source media loaded to the new SSD, and then exports and archive on the HDD? Or do I set this up another way for better results.My motherboard doesn't have a second NVME slot, so I'm stuck with one NVME slot for now (and I prefer getting a cheaper SSD anyway).Thanks!
