Questions

I'm looking to spending over $4000 for the Macbook pro maxed out for premiere and travelling.  I was also looking into the Razer but after doing some research it seems Macbook pro performs better.  I wanted to reach out and hear some thoughts on spending this kind of money to get a laptop that will last me 4 years. Is the macbook pro a good choice?  any othe recomendations? Thank you

Friends,I have looked high and low and all over the web with no good answer to this question. I am having slow (stutters) in playback/editing of 1080p60, 4K30, and 4K60 (these are shot on Galaxy S8/Phantom 4 Pro). CPU is @ 100% during playback, Memory 50%, GPU 1-5%, SSD 3-5%.This is very frustrating as I am sure many have experienced, it makes it unbearable to work. My goal in making this post is to find out if an i5 6600K can edit smoothly 4K60 footage. If possible what would need to be changed to my current system. I am sure upgrading my current 8GB of RAM would be a start, but if someone has some experience/knowledge to knowing that 64GB of RAM in the system still would not suffice for 4K30/60 editing, then I would rather save the time of trial and error and just go ahead and upgrade to the new Intel i7 8700K and purchase 16-64GB RAM together, and future-proof a bit.This build was made originally for gaming.Later this evening, I will post a video showing exactly the circumstances. I

I have an MSI GL62-6QF with i7-6700HQ processor (4 cores - 8 threads), 16 GB DDR4 RAM (2400 MHz) and Nvidia GTX 960M graphics card with 2 GB of dedicated VRAM (GDDR5). I have installed the CC 2020 and 2019 versions of Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder. All programs perfectly detect my Nvidia graphics card and I can choose the processing option through Mercury OpenCL or Mercury CUDA. However, whenever I export any material, the software always uses the Intel HD Graphics 530, the CPU and the RAM (100% all). I have tested in the Nvidia control panel, configuring the parameters so that these programs use the Nvidia GPU, but nothing ... I don't get it. They always use the CPU and its integrated graphics. Do you know if Adobe withdrew CUDA support for 2017 graphics cards below? --- Tengo un MSI GL62-6QF con procesador i7-6700HQ (4 nucleos - 8 hilos), 16 GB RAM DDR4 (2400 MHz) y tarjeta gráfica Nvidia GTX 960M con 2 GB de VRAM (GDDR5) ded

 Dear community,I am buying a second hand desktop for video editing on premiere (mainly 1080p, maybe 2,7k and 4k later). I've got two offer for same price, with config as written in title, and not sure what would be better.What do you think? Should i go for the better graphic card but with less ram, or the other way around?Thank you all in advance,

Hi I´m about to order a new laptop and I have chosen the Dell Precision 7540. Im a little bit confused on what to choose, since I have read that the Xeon with ECC performs a 1-3% slower than the i9. But when reading some benchmark tests I can see that the Xeon combo almost always beats the i9. I will be using the worksation for After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photohshop, Indesign and Illustrator. Theese are the configs im going to choose from:  Config 1ProcessorIntel® Xeon E2286M,2,40 GHz up to 5,0 GHz Turbo, 45 W, vProGraphic cardNvidia Quadro RTX 4000 w/8GB GDDR6Memory64GB, 2x32GB, DDR4 2666MHz ECC MemoryHardrive 1M.2 512 GB NVMe PCIe SSD.

Hello,I'm building a budget pc for video editing, the specs are:Ryzen 5 1600GT 103016 GB ramSSD for system & apps 1 tb HDD for media & project files Will mainly work with 1080p 30&60 FPS files, 4k very occasionallySoftware:premiere pro (splitting & some colour correction) and after effects (visual effects & motion graphics) What matters more to me is the fluidity of playback and preview quality of the project within the program. Render time isn't that important (unless the difference is drastic) Will this setup be enough for my usage? And if I'm willing to spend a few extra, should I focus on upgrading the CPU (to Ryzen 5 2600) or upgrading the graphics card (to gtx 1650)PS: if you are going to recommend another graphics card, please give your opinion first on the models I stated, because I'm not sure about the availability at the store I'm buying from Thanks in advance

Hi, as I'm going to do a clean install of windows soon, I wanted to ask what is the best configuration of drives for me.There are 4 things I'm thinking about;where to install:- Premiere Pro & After Effects- Cache- OS- FootageI have 3 drives;- 250Gb SATA III MLC SSD - 1TB SATA III TLC SSD- 1TB HDD Should it be like:- OS, FOOTAGE, SOFTWARE on 1TB SSDand Cache on 250GB SSD + HDD as Archive or different?Maybe this isn't the most important question but this is the thing I was thinking a lot lately.Thank you for answers!

Hi all - Looking for some advice from those who have MacBook Pro's or are familiar with their performance. I want to scale down from my Windows Desktop to a portable setup because I am traveling a lot and need something to edit with on the go that's capable. I am usually editing 1080P MOV format or 4K MOV/MJPEG with proxies, with a light color grade, some audio processing effects, and a handful of MOGRTs on the timeline. I want to get a 16'' MacBook Pro but am totally unsure of what is needed vs. not needed in the config. Do I need to prioritize upgrading RAM to 32GB? Should I definitely upgrade to the 8GB graphics? Is the 5.0Ghz "Turbo Boost" worth it? Any help in optimizing my purchase / spend would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hoping to get some recommendations regarding hard drive configuration for best Premier Pro editing performance, specifically what (OS, software, media files, export files, scratch files, etc.) goes on what drive. Drive info (4 drives) C drive: M.2 Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD plugged directly into the motherboard (1TB). From what I read, I want to instal Premiere Pro on this drive, right next to the OS (Windows 10) D drive: M.2 Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD plugged into expansion board (shared with drive E). The board is plugged directly in to the motherboard (1TB) E drive: M.2 Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD plugged into expansion board (as mentioned above shared with drive D). The board is plugged directly in to the motherboard (1TB) F drive: Samsung SSD 860 EVO Internal SSD connected to the mother board via SATA cable (1TB) Other hardware info: Motherboard: ASUS ROG ZENITH EXTREMECPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950XRAM: G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 3200 64GBGPU: ASUS 

I have 32 Gb of RAM, I havily use Twixtor plugin among others, mostly 4K Cineform footage. As I keep rendering previews, memory usage slowly grows to max of 32 Gb as seen in Windows Task Manager. As this is happening, CPU Usage drops to zero, then memory get purged and CPU Usage picks up and rendering continues. My Page File is set to 96 Gb, pointed to a NVME SSD, but according to Page File graph in Performance Monitor, Page File usage never raises above 5%.Why doesn't Premiere use Paging File? Is it programmed not to use virtual memory?

Hi, should I buy a new video card?  I have the geforce rtx 2070 running on i9-9900k 64gb ram. With every update: the pc win10 runs slower making editing annoying.

February 22, 2020 :: I'm starting new. Current laptop will not work on latest upgrades.What is the best "current new laptop" for all adobe, especially Premiere Pro using 4K..Thank you everyone.

hi i have a question  is the  RTX GeForce 2080/(2070) graphic card good for rendering and playing 4k footage from sony a7iii and Red Reaven? in PR / AE / ( IL / PS / LR ) hardware /// Windows 10CPU Intel i9 

I'm getting back into video after a long time away. Went down the rabbit hole last night researching 27" and 1440 and 4K and am way more confused now. Have a nice older Dell 24" and was set to updgrade to 27 for my Macbook Pro mid2015 - but now not so sure. My eyes are already pretty fatigued so wondering if I should go back to dual 24"/1080. Wondering what other folks are using these days.

Hello guys, I'm bulding my own PC and wonder if this card work with Adobe applications. Thank you in advance ! XFX RX-590P8DFD6 Radeon Rx 590 Fatboy 8GB OC+ 1580MHz DDR5 3xDP HDMI DVI Graphic Cards

I just bought this PC and was hoping it would make editing in 4k easier but without proxies it's still skipping when i'm going through clips in a sequence. I'm more than willing to upgrade parts of the PC but i'm not entirely sure what's causing the slow down. Here are my specs: Intel i7-9700K, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD + 2TB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, 500W Bronze PSU I know my videocard isn't great but from everything I've read and heard the videocard isn't that important when just scrubbing through footage in premiere without effects. I have my scratch disk on my SSD NVME m.2 drive so i feel like the write speed should be the problem. and the CPU and RAM should be fine. Any ideas what I could/ should invest in so that I can scour through my clips without proxies? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I just received a brand new PC custom built by the folks at AVA specifically for editing in Premiere Pro and other work in after effects.  It's an 18 core Intel machine. I'm having issues that make no sense to me.  First is the peak file generation.  It auto generates it which is great but it's going so slow it looks like it will take 3 days to finish, the same clip on my 2017 iMac takes 3 minutes.  I check and only 1% of the CPU is being used as well as the NVIDIA GPU -also 1%. Playback is a nightmare.  I push L to play and 5-6 seconds later it starts playing.  The media is on an OWC Mercury Elite Pro, I plugged it into the iMac as well and no issues. I'm new to PC's so this could totally be user error but it's literally a blank project with one clip in it.  I'll be reaching out to AVA tomorrow but if anyone thinks they know why I'm having so much trouble please let me know.

I am needing to buy a cheap laptop (something that if it gets damaged I won't cry) to carry with me out in the field. I will use it to do editing in areas that is not a controlled enviorment. Hence CHEAP... ButI want something that will work for editing and rendering in CC2019. What is you take on this computer......ASUS VivoBook AMD A12-9720P Quad-Core upto 3.6GHz, 32GB RAM ???

I am trying to get back to working with design programs. And I am having a little Trouble making a decision with what computer to update to. I am leaning towards a Inspiron All in One as I won’t need take it anywhere currently. Sure, I would love a Mac book Pro, but it’s not at my price point.  Here are the specs of for  Dell - Inspiron 23.8" Touch-Screen All-In-One - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - 512GB SSD - SilverDoes anyone have experience/advice/complaints  using this as a work computer for Graphic Programs? Thanks in Advance. 

My head is spinning with all the different opinions, 'real world' experience and statements of performance by manufacturers.  I surrender.My desktop is a PC, the old h8-1520t, 300 watt power supply, Intel HD Graphics 4000 and 16gb RAM.  What graphic card will work in this system that will also work with Photoshop CC OpenGL, give me TRUE 10bit color and allow me to get the full resolution out of my new BenQ SW2700PT?I know I need a displayport but as for everything else....there are so many contradictory articles that I just have no idea.  Any help is greatly appreciated.The graphics card will only be used for photography and some HD video.  No games or 3D rendering, etc.Thanks again.

Hiya folks, my first post here, so hello!I have around £300 to upgrade one aspect of my system and am really confused as to what I should upgrade. I run Premiere Pro CC 2020, version 14.01. I would say my priority is efficiency within the editing/effects/colouring process, and I'm not too worried about length of export time, as my system seems to deal with it ok, never really going over an hour. My main types of work are music videos, with a lot of effects and colouring, and I'm just getting into multicam, which I've found to be an absolute frezzing lagging nightmare..I edit mostly 4K footage (using proxies) and am starting to work with 10bit, but just in the learning process with that really I have attached full spec below, but I guess the main things to take into account are these -  I5 8600K CPU32 GB RAM - 3200 MHZC drive where PP is ran from is a 250 GB SSDDrive where I keep/edit footage is an M.2 SSD 600GBMotherboard is MSI Z370A - Pro Notice I don't

In one of several "experiments" to speed things up on an underspec'd computer, I installed Premiere Pro and all my related project files on the same (internal) SSD (and set all media & media cache to the SSD as well).  Does anyone have a guess as to why (especially during playback in the program panel) the hard drive is getting worked pretty hard by the PC (this is where everything stalls)? P.S. While I certainly appreciate general tips on improving Premiere performance etc (and I have tried many), I am not really looking for anything here but specific ideas on the hard drive issue.  I have no system restore operating, and no virtual memory allocated anywhere outside the SSD.

I'm looking for some dumbed-down advice since I'm not super tech-savvy. I have owned a Lenovo Ideapad Z710 for several years now and mainly used it for photo editing. Now I want to get into video editing and am realizing this thing is useless. I have Adobe CC suite and I received an error when trying to install Premiere. It told me I don't have the right Graphics/driver. My laptop has an Intel Core i7 and Nvidia GEForce sticker, so I assumed that meant both were loaded. But in searching my system, I can only locate the Intel HD Graphics 4600. I will not be shooting in 4k, so I don't believe I need the most powerful. It is only for instructional YouTube videos. But I need to be able to add lots of media clips to edit.In doing some research, it seems the Intel i7 should be fine, but I could also go with i9. The other specs I've found which I think I need are:Windows 10 64 bit (which I have now)16GB memorySound card: ?4 or more processor coresStorage: at least 256 GB hard dirve/
