Questions

I just ordered a dell XPS basic version (i5-8300H, gtx 1050(4gb gddr5), 8gb ram, 256 PCI SSD), I wonder if that would run these programs (after effects, premiere) well? This version cost approx.1,550 $ in Germany so my intention was in 2 yrs or so I could upgrade RAM and memory when I need to. but is the processor and graphics card good enough? I won't be using the programs every day. But I bought the laptop for the main purpose of building on my art and animation skills.

Hey guys,I have been having the hardest time getting my laptop (Dell Inpiron 17-7779) to process the 45 minute talk show I have been hired to do. As I travel frequently, I want to invest some change into a workstation before upgrading my desktop.I have been looking into MSI, Asus, and Alienware. Any recommendations on those companies would be great, as well as any other suggestions you might have.Thanks!Alexis

I'm looking for a compatibility list, recommendations, or advice on professional 360 cameras, in the market of 3,000 - $6,000.  I've found the stitching process to be the biggest pain point. GoPro's Fusion Studio is not reliable with the fusion 360 footage: it crashes regularly, doesn't import large videos that the device is capable of shooting and can be viewed unstiched, and the UI doesn't behave on my machine.  And its still honestly the best stitching software I've used.  I haven't spent much time with 360 footage in the last year or so before this fusion footage fell into my lap, so maybe the process is easier then I'm making it out to be now.  I'm looking at purchasing a camera at the $3,000-$5,000 for studio usage, and at that price point I want to ensure good results and hopefully less pain for myself.  The Insta360 Pro II Spherical VR 360 8K Camera claims that it can stitch internally for Premiere, though I believe it only does MP4 format.  I woul

Hello, I just wanted to check with you pro's to see if my rig is up to the job.I am new to Premier and i'm experiencing really slow performance when trying to edit even short videos. Basically, I have footage filmed on the DJI Mavic 2 (4k), when I add a few clips to my sequence, playback is very jittery. This makes editing almost impossible for me.I tried changing my sequence to 1080p and downscaling the 4k footage but this didn't make much different. Also tried the suggested tips such as reducing the size in the playback window to 1/4 etcMy PC specsAsus Z170 Deluxe MotherboardIntel Core i7 6700K Unlocked Skylake Corsair Vengeance White LED 32GB DDR4 3200 Memory Kit 4x 8GBSamsung 500GB 960 Evo PCIe SSD (I have other SATA drives)Nvidia GTX 1070Windows 10 64bit Is my PC good enough for 4k editing (or 1080p for that matter)?

Hi - I'm building a new machine for my Creative Cloud Suite - upgrading from an i7 machine to i9 9900K. I originally bought an M.2 NVMe drive for the operating system - but reading a few notes on line suggests that I'd be better putting my new Samsung 860 SSD as Windows 10 operating system and using the M.2 drive as the Project Files drive. Any comments / advice on that please ? - eg how critical is the Project Files drive read/write speeds during processing in Premiere Pro?.Just for info - I'm adding a 1TB SSD Samsung 860 Media Cache drive for all media I'm working on in the project (live) and sticking to HDD for large Media store offline.RAM will be 64GB Corsair 3200 DDR4

The list of recommended graphics cards provided by Adobe is quite out of date. Nearly all the GeForce cards are no longer on the market. My current graphics card was never on that list, it is the GeForce GTX 760, and this is why (according to Adobe Support) I get the dreaded "Error code: -1609629695" on a regular basis. It happens almost every time I use the Lumetri Color effect (and other effects) - which is often. So, I want to replace my graphics card. I want something that can do some of the heavy lifting, especially now that I'm dealing with 4K footage more and more often.I have recently contacted Adobe Support asking for an updated list, and was directed to this forum. The following cards are available at my local retailer and are within my price range: GeForce GTX 1660 Ti GeForce GTX 1660 GeForce GTX 1070 Ti GeForce GTX 1070GeForce GTX 1060GeForce GTX 1050Ti GeForce GTX 1050 I asked Adobe Support which are compatible, the following was conveyed to me:"...we cannot recommend this

This post would be exhaustingly long if I listed all the troubleshooting measures I have taken in order to resolve this, so I'm gonna go with a quick overview and ask for a certain amount of good faith that I have tried every Google-able, Bing-able, Adobe/Dell/NVidia/Reddit/YouTube-searchable solution. I am looking for insight into my next move and if someone can precisely speak to what causes this (apparently) unresolvable issue.

This isn't how I normally choose to edit serious jobs. But I'm doing a lot more work on the road at the moment.

I could run two external HDDs, but unsure if that'll actually mean anything. I have usb3 ports and a thunderbolt port.

Hi Everyone,I've been looking at the new iMacs for adobe premiere pro editing. I want to be able to edit 4K. I want to spend $2000, which would get me the computer below...

hi, I'm currently using a 2009 Macbook Pro (MacBookPro5,5), and I'm curious which version of Premiere would be optimal for this computer. it only has 4 GB RAM and 10.11.6 on it. I know this computer is obsolete, but, it is going to be replaced this year (I'm just not sure what to replace it with yet.) Thanks

It's called, "Johnny Cache," and it's a PC built for School of Motion by Puget Systems. I think it's a pretty interesting collaboration. Read all about it here.

Hello, I am looking to build a workstation PC for 4k video editing as well as advanced color grading and After Effects. I was initially aiming for a new RTX 2070 since it was within the budget but I found out a good deal on an GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition, 200$ cheaper than 2070. The performance difference is quite similar(in Premiere Pro & DaVinci Resolve), so which one would you go with?My main concern is how long would it last in a video & color grading rig, with moderate use, no overcklocking, stock.. etc. From tests I've seen, PP and Resolve are not using the GPU as much as I thought, even when working with 4k footage. It's only when encoding and using a lot of effects stacked with intense grading there is noticeable performance gains. I won't have a lot of projects requiring such an aggressive use of effects, but when I do I want a smooth performance and also future proofing my rig.So, would it good idea to go for the used 1080 Ti? Or better get the new RTX 2070?System de

Hey guys,Long story short I’ll be upgrading my CPU and board soon, I’ve got a friend who’s getting rid of a 5960x and a 7740x. I realize in the long run going with the 7740x gives me a chipset with more support, but looking into synthetics it seems the 5960x is a better CPU overall. Any thoughts?[duplicate thread deleted by mod]

Hello there, I am currently in the process of building a laptop for multimedia and productivity purposes, with the most storage-sensitive application I will running is likely Premiere. I will mostly be using graphic design software (Photoshop, Illustrator) and basic 3d sketching software for set plans as part of my job, however I will be working on music videos (1080p) in my spare time and wont be going near 4k/long projects for quite a while. So here are my thoughts/questions:1) The Laptop I am building has 3 drive bays available, 1 x 2.5" SATA & 2 x M.2 (Nvme ready) slots. I have seen the puget systems article and video relating to the 2015 edition of P-Pro and that a 3 drive setup is optimal - is this still the case?2) I am having to be quite budget conscious so i cant go getting a 4tb ssd and two 1tb nvme's - which would obviously be ideal. So I will state what setup(s) I am thinking of and if anyone has any pointers or advice, it would be greatly appreciated. To reference what

I've had my 7900X system for well over a year now, and I am still using the GTX970 I bumped from my old system because I didn't want to spend dollars for a new card that might soon be superseded.  Truth be told, I am not seeing noticeable performance issues, but I spend a lot more time with Photoshop than Premiere Pro, and the Puget Systems tests do not seem to indicate massive advantages with newer cards for Photoshop at least.  But it is starting to feel crazy spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar, so I am finally going to replace the aging GTX970. I can't justify a really high end RTX card, but I want to see a worthwhile improvement, so I am thinking RTX 2070.    What I don't understand is the difference between different manufacturers?  So the only criteria I can think to apply is looking for a card with similar outputs to my current card so I can use the same cables. Q) Are there other things I need to think about and consider?   The rest

Preface - I'm seeing now, reading on this forum, that graphics cards seem to cause various problems (it pays to read stuff, who knew). So I'll plow through the material and see if I can find an answer. In the meantime I'll leave this note up just in case. Apologies if I've wasted your time. 🙂I'm using 2018. Last week, I installed a graphics card (or, more precisely, had a graphics card professionally installed). I then proceeded with a great deal of vignetting (which had been very slow minus the graphics card).Soon after the installation, Premiere commenced crashing quite often in certain parts of my project. I would recover my project, resume work, and make plans to address the problem ASAP.I'm now trying to export the project and it's crashing about one-quarter of the way into the export. This has happened repeatedly.Thoughts, suggestions? I'm willing to buy a new graphics card, of course, if that's the issue here. I will say, the card seems to be performing well in terms of

Hello,I have an older PC (maybe 5 years old) and want to buy a new one or upgrade this current one because whenever I use dynamic link from Character Animator to Premiere Pro, I get about 1 frame every 10 seconds when I try to composite a scene. I don't mind having to work with the lowest settings on playback, but I would like it to play at a decent frame rate. Here is my current GPU: https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Radeon-8490-Graphics-Card/dp/B00SYLV1RI Current Processor: https://www.amazon.com/AMD-4-Core-Black-FX-4300-FD4300WMHKBOX/dp/B009O7YU3S Also working with32GB ramSSD driver for all adobe applications and related files.windows 10So my question is how can I improve the playback while using Dynamic Link?Should I upgrade the processor or GPU?Should I just buy something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Acer-TC-885-ACCFLi5O-Desktop-i5-8400-802-11ac/dp/B07M6LKLYR/ref=sxin_2_ac_d_pm?keywords=desktop+p… because it already comes with a much better processor and then install my SSD, 32gb Ra

First question, which drive is best to render to, the same drive as the project? Next questions, I have:OS/Programs on a fast EVO Pro M.2 I have another even faster EVO Pro M.2 but I'm trying to save that for 360 Virtual Tours. I've thought about using this for scratch/cache but I'm not sure if the performance boost is worth wearing that drive out (should I be worried about that?)Projects/assets on an SSDScratch/cache on a different SSDI have room for another M.2. When I get this 3rd M.2 should I put projects/assets on this or keep them on SSD and use it for cache/scratch?Please don't refer me to another website. I'm so crunched for time. It seems like when I've asked these questions before I never got an answer. I was referred to another site that didn't answer these questions either. I've already muscled through enough issues with adobe to last a lifetime. I seriously just want to setup the best arrangement so I can get back to work. Thanks for your time!

I have a project from another computer created with Premiere Pro 2018. I would like to use my mid-2012 13" Macbook Pro to edit. Are my specs compatible?Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5Memory: 8gb 1600 MHz DDR3Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MBStorage: 83 GB availableRAM: 8 GB

I am currently upgrading my 2009 Mac Pro.  I would like to use Premiere Pro running Mojave so I need a metal compatible graphics card.  What do people think of Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 8G GDDR5?  Some forums are suggesting Nvida would be better for Premiere, but they don't have drivers for Mojave.Any other suggestions?Thank you.

Hey all. It's probably been asked before but please bare with me since I could not find a relevant solution.My CPU is i7 @3.50, I have 32GB Ram and Win10.My Graphic card is an Nvidia Geforce GTX660.When editing 2K and above my system stutters and that's a pain.Will a new better card do the trick or is only a more comprehensive upgrade do the work?I do not want to upgrade my entire pc obviously but do wish to work properly...I'd really appreciate your experienced feedback.Thanks

I'm upgrading my PC. I primarily edit in Premiere Pro but am really starting to do more with After Effects (and by extension, Cinema 4D lite) and Blender.Current system (6 years old):i7 3770 4 coreGTX 660tiExtra internal drive: Western Digital 1000GB 7200 RPM Sata-3My primary goal is better render time and playback and stopping those errors I get all the time now with Lumetri (which I think are VRAM related?)I'm also switching to two 500 GB Samsung 970 EVO Pluses for my internal drives.  2 are cheaper than a single 1 TB and I assume that if I have my files on one and my temp files on another I will get better performance as well?Will this do the trick and keep me going for a while?

Hey, recetly I bought Asus ROG GL703GE, and I noticed my main video card is nvidia uhd 630.tried to updating bios, and in the bios section i have "video configuration" set to grey, and only 64mb selected. I tried updating drivers, went to nvidia control pannel and set it to 1050gtx ti and max performances, but it still using my intel graphics for some reason. Im very upset, I can't edit normal and using the 1050gtx for rendnering/playback. Also the 1050gtx ti usage is 0% on windows when im editing/rendering. Please let me know how to fix this
