Questions

Hi Guys, My son needs a laptop for his school work and needs to run the latest Adobe PS and Premiere software. Could you tell me if a laptop with Windows 10, Core i7 10th gen CPU, SSD HD, 16GB ram and a dedicated Nvidia GTX 1650 graphic card will work well for the next 3 years? My budget is limited to € 1000,- Thanks for your opinion. Eric

Hello, I'm about to buy the 2020 iMac 27 inch, 3.8GHZ intel core i7 processor, 8GB RAM (will upgrade to 64GB), and wanted to know if there is much difference with graphics cards Radeon Pro 5700 xt vs Radeon Pro 5700 when it comes to rendering and exporting in Premiere?  There seems to be a big jump in quality from the base model to the 5700 xt but not so much to the 5700.  Would appreciate some input. Thanks! 

I was searching for tips to improving video editing performance (Premiere Pro and After Effects) on the internet. I came across these two videos which are quite unique out there. I kept searching blogs and  youtube for some backing up for this but couldn't find any.  But out of desperation, I went and did this anyway. According to my personal experience, I couldn't find much difference in performance. If anything, AE and PP was crashing more often. Although this could be because of multitude of factors as I was nearing completion for this video with a lot of graphics. So, with my limited technical knowledge, I can't blame it on tweaking these settings. So, I am posting it here. Please shed light on this. It would not only help me but many other beginners like me with mediocre PC trying to improve performance. Thanks  

I upgraded to Threadripper 2 - 2920x (12/24)ASUS X399-A / 16GB ddr4CPU utilization never gets above 45% during encoding. Encoding a 39 minute video from 2 cameras (1 is 4K, the other is HD) down to MPEG-DVD.After 45 minutes, it still estimates 1 hour 25 minutes on a 2 pass encode. This is crap for a program that is supposed to be multi threaded. A 6 core, 12 thread intel processor can do a similar encode in 20 minutes.Is it time to switch to a better video program? Is Adobe making PPro CC even more useless?[Moderator note: moved to appropriate forum.]

Hi, I was wondering if an HP pavilion laptop 15t with 16gb and core i7 would work well with after effects. Im not planning on using the laptop for anything other than video editing, so I'd like to know if this is a suitable choice. 

I need to purchase a notebook for video editing and sometimes for 2d motion graphics animations.  The footage I will be dealing with will be a maximum of 4K 200Mbps.  I have a budget below 2000 euros to buy a notebook at work. What do you think about this one: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07WLDNRCP/ref=sr_1_11?dchild=1&fst=as%3Aoff&qid=1597062257&refinements=p_n_style_browse-bin%3A392619011%2Cp_n_feature_browse-bin%3A14725839031&rnid=392660011&s=computers&sr=1-11 If you have other suggestions/models that look more professional other than gamer notebook, I would appreciate that 🙂  The display is also very important for colors and usability. I can also purchase Macbook but for that price range, windows will be much better, right? Thanks

Hello community, I have a budget of 3 - $4,000 USD. Looking to purchase a mobile workstation that will run video editing, motion graphics, and CGI using Premiere Pro and After Effects. I need a lot of horsepower in efforts to cut down on export and preview times. Some other items listed below:Two internal SSD slots32 - 64 Gig ramThunderbolt 3Also, this budget should include a docking station that can run multiple monitors and provide USB A for connecting some older HID components. Thank you so much in advanced for the advice ❤️ 

Just got a proposal from Puget Systems ... I work mostly in Premiere, with some Ae/Audition and some Resolve also.   How's this sound? My area of concern is the AMD CPU, for H.264/5 accel, but ... I don't actually 'need' that media that much, I do work BRAW, RED, and ProRes, Cineform or DNxHD/R more.   Neil   Case: Fractal Design Define R6EVGA Supernove 1200W P2 power supplyMobo: Gigabyte TRX40 AORUSU Pro w/wifiCPU: Ryzen Threadripper 3960X 3.8Ghz 24-core 280WCooling: Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 with additional fans addedRAM: 128GB DD44-2666 (4x32GB)GPU: RTX2080 Super 8GB "open air"System drive: Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD

Very interesting Kevin will be a matter of trying, thanks for your contributions. I wanted to ask you if you know what could be the reason that Premiere does not use the GPU of my new AMD Radeon Pro WX 3200, it only uses the GPU when exporting with the sequence part that has bone preview that has been processed before (that is to say that in timelines appears green) but when it is time to export the part of the sequence that has not been processed before (that is, it is seen in red) it stops using the GPU and of course it is very slow. The same happens to me when processing, I edit DSLR and Sony video camera videos, if I ask to process all the video it takes horrors and it is that it practically does not use the GPU at all and I changed the card because Adobe recommended it. It goes without saying that I have it, I think everything is configured as recommended, and everything is up-to-date (both Windows, drivers, and Premiere). I have 16GB of RAM, a 4 core2duo i7 (8 logical cores) at 3

Wondering if anyone else is seeing this. I recently upgraded from a GTX 1070 to an RTX 2070. I wasn't expecting huge improvements, but definitely didn't expect to see my test render take about 12.5% LONGER after the upgrade.Any insights on what would/could be causing this?System Specs:Intel i9 9900kRTX 2070 EVGA XC32 GB DDR4 3000Mhz

Adobe just released a new premiere pro version which claims that it works better with AMD GPUS. Does that mean AMD GPUS are equivalent to Nvidia GPUS for premiere pro nowadays?

Hi everyone, Am upgrading my mid level PC and have AMD Ryzen 5 3600x with 32gb ram and 1tb ssd card. Now looking to buy a GPU but am bewildered by the choice. Needs to be able to do a bit of 4k editing. Currently does this with GTX 970 but a bit glitchy. Currently looking at RTX 2060 or GTX 1660 so around about £300-350 price range.  Any advice gratefully received. Thank you so much.  

I recently acquired a Mac Pro (Mid 2010) and am running High Sierra with the following specs: Processor: 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel XeonMemory: 24 GB 1066 MHz DDR3Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB I tried running the latest version of Adobe Premiere and it ends up performing ridiculously slowly, eventually I get the spinning wheel of death and have to force quit. I know nothing about graphics cards and such. Do I need to update my graphics card to be able to use Premiere? Or would it help to run a previous version of Premiere instead? Any input on what I can do to my comptuer to get it to run adobe properly is much appreciated.  I traded a 2015 iMac with 32GB of RAM for this Mac Pro and now I'm wondering if I should have kept the iMac instead. It seemed to run Premiere just fine.  

Hi there,  I'm considering getting a new laptop for video editing and I was wondering what would be your opinion regarding the following laptop: https://store.hp.com/NetherlandsStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=3L493EA&opt=ABH&sel=NTB#specs Specter x360 specs:  Windows 10 Home 64Intel® Core ™ i7-10750H (6 cores)39.6 cm (15.6 ") 4K touchscreen16 GB RAM - 1 TB PCIe® SSDNVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650 with Max-Q design (4 GB GDDR5 dedicated) Initially, I was thinking about getting the Predator Helios 300: https://nl-store.acer.com/predator-helios-300-gaming-laptop-ph315-52-zwart-1 but having a touchscreen for some design work could be handy (hence the Specter x360 consideration).  Helios specs:  Windows 10 Home 64-bitIntel® Core ™ i7-9750H processor Hexa-core 2.60 GHz39.6 cm (15.6 ") Full HD (1920 x 1080) 16: 9 IPS 144Hz16 GB, DDR4 SDRAM1 TB SSDNVIDIA® GeForce RTX ™ 2060 with 6 GB dedicated memory  

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone could recommed a good gaming laptop that would be suitable for editing in budget? Thank you in advance!

I am planning to buy an iMac but due to lockdown the top model in iMac 21.5 inch is not available so I am thinking to go for a second variant in 21.5 inch. Please suggest. I require it for basic video editing. 

Hey guys, I amgetting a computer built for me and computer specs confuse me. I'll be editing mostly 4K projects, drone, Sony a7iii and GoPro footage in premiere pro and after effects. I will also he doing a lot in Lightroom and photoshop. These are the specs I got suggested for my budget. Is this ok? AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12 Core 3.8 Ghz AM4MITX Case – the one I showed youGigabyte AMD B450 MITX650Watt Corsair ATX Powe Supply27” * 2 – 75HzCorsair 32gb RamGigabyte RX5700XTWindows 10 PROAntivirus1tb m.2 ssd 

I come across the Mercury software render only thing in the project settings which is a bummer... and really wanted my RX 570 8GB to do the work... and this worked for me. Installed latest drivers from the Radeon site with the automatic installer software. A couple reboots later and it was installed. Also opened the registry editor at Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Khronos\OpenCL\Vendors and changed IntelOpenCL64.dll from 0 to 1 On this older but still good working rig:I7-4770K 16GB RX 570Crucial BX500 1TB SSDWIN 10 Hope this helps someone else.   

I am thinking of getting the Asus Zephyrus G14 with the 4800hs and a GTX 1650ti. I have been watching videos and articles saying that Intel is better for video editing because of QuickSync. But now I've seen more reviews talking about the new update with GPU-accelerated rendering, which is supposed to help Ryzen CPUs with render times. The main question I have is, will the laptop have good video playback in Premiere Pro and After Effects (Not much shuttering and able to handle effects). Render times don't matter as much to me :).

I need to run Premiere Pro on a system with Intel Graphics 4600Radeon R7 25016GB RamIntel I7-4770 , 3.4GHzThe system is only required to do basic Video Editing task ( use of After Effects is also very occassionaly required). I realise the 4600 is not supported by Adobe, however any advice would be much appreciated.  

Hi guys! I'm seeing that when rendering en media encoder, and also in premiere. the sistem is not working as muchas as it could. My CPU, GPU, and RAM Memory are under 30% while rendering a 1hour video in H264. I understand this means my render times should be shorter if using full capabilitie. I have an Intel i7-4790K CPU 32GB of RAM and a GTX 1060 with 6GB  could there be something wrong in my config? thanks!!!

Hello!Does anybody here has experiences with working with 4k source material on a Macbook Pro 2012 (mid 2012) unibody?Is that possible anyway?My question acutally relates to two different Macbooks:1. Macbook Pro 13 (mid 2012), i5 2.5Ghz, 1 TB SSD, 8GB RAM (my current macbook)2. Macbook Pro 15 (mid 2012), i7, 2.6Ghz, 16 GB RAMFor full HD my current Macbook (no. 1) was good enough, as I only use it for cutting simple videos (only one camera, no effects).With 4k video sources I don't get a flued video preview, so I can't work with it.I would be great to know, if upgrading to a used Macbook Pro 15 (no. 2) unibody would allow me to do this. I know that the latest unibody models from 2012 have a NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M. I really love these old unibody macbooks due to their upgrading and maintanance options, so I would prefer it over a newer retina model.Hope anyone can help!?
