Questions

Hi,I am thinking about selling my old iMac (2012) which is getting too slow and buing new piece of hardware for editing in Premiere Pro.There are only 2 options for me - Laptop or mini PC. It is because I do not like to work at home, so I travel a lot with my van and work in different places. Mostly in my van (microbus) connected to electricity in camps.I would like to spend about 1900-2000 USD and I have found those 2 candidates.First one is Laptop ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501VI-GZ021T-Intel Core i7-7700HQ (2.8GHz, TB 3.8GHz, HyperThreading) with 4 cores-Nvidia GTX 1080 8gb-16GB RAM DDR4-Price for used one: 2000 USDThe second one is mini PC called MSI Trident 3 Arctic 8RD-203EU-Intel Core i7-8700 (3.2GHz, TB 4.6GHz, HyperThreading)with 6 cores-NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5-16GB RAM DDR4-Price for new one: 1870 USDBoth of them are for similar price in my country (laptop is used, Mini PC is new). The Laptop is ony 130 USD more expensive than mini PC. Pros:MINI PC -   &nbsp

My options so far are:1.   MSI leopard GP62M      Intel Core i7 7700HQ (2.8 GHz, hasta 3.8 GHz) 4 cores     RAM 16GB DDR5 SDRAM, max 32 GB     1TB Hybrid (HDD/SDD) + 128GB SSD     Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 PC2-4200 RAM2.  DELL inspiron     Intel Core i7-8550U     RAM 16GB DDR4, 2400 MHZ     AMD Radeon 530 (4GB GDDR5)     2TB HDD, 5400 RPM/ M.2 SLOT3.  HP PAVILION 15-CS0073     Intel Core i7-8550U 1.8GHZ     RAM 16GB DDR4     NVIDIA GeForce MX150 4GB     Storage 1TB HDDThank you for your help!!

I need to upgrade my system, and all I have is 1100$ and looking for a good laptop for video editing specially 4K I'm preferring a laptop and not a PC because I'm travelling alot, and I need something to be with me all the time, and is the performance difference between laptop and a PC at this price range will be very large or not ?

Hi Forum, ( mod Please move discussion in hardware forum)After doing research, I have came to the followingspecs for a nearby future build, not too expensive but stable enough for mid range projects. I'd like to hear some feedback from those who are tech savvy. Please take in mind, I'm not a fanboy of the red or blue team, this is the budget ($4000 AUSD) I have for video editing performance, ( AMD gives you a bang for your buck thus choosing to go with AMD).I have outlined the most important components, and if I would ad something else or subtract from the following specs what would be a better choice?Kind regards.

hello friends, I wanted to ask, is a graphics card like the gtx 1050ti compatible with the adobe premiere edition? I was researching and I read that a card only helps in the render, not in the preview, is that so?that another card option exists at a similar price to help me eliminate the pauses that occur in the preview?I have an i5 processor, and two ram cards of 4gb each.Thank you

Hi ! I am looking into updating my computer (Mac) and I would like to make a good investment so that it would also allow me to edit smoothly. I thought you would be the right person to ask for advice, so I am wondering if you could help me understand wether I should choose to have better RAM or better GPU. The question is what would you choose between this 2 setups:OPTION A: iMac 21,5 inch - retina 4k- 3,6‑GHz quad‑core Intel Core i7-processor van de 7e generatie, Turbo Boost tot 4,2 GHz- 32 GB 2400‑MHz DDR4- SSD van 512 GB- Radeon Pro 560 met 4 GB videogeheugenOPTION B: iMac 27 inch - retina 5k- 4,2‑GHz quad‑core Intel Core i7-processor van de 7e generatie, Turbo Boost tot 4,5 GHz- 16 GB 2400‑MHz DDR- SSD van 512 GB- Radeon Pro 580 met 8 GB geheugenAny advice would be lovely.Thanks a lot in advanced!!Merry christmas!!![Moderator's note: moved to best forum.]

I have a gigabyte  x79-ud5 mother board and have been using a hhd for OS and programs, a raid 0 for media, and a raid 0 for scratch, preview, etc.I am now finding this setup to be abit slow for 4k video so I am upgrading to sata  ssd drives. My question here, if possible to answer, is my mother board has 2 sata 3/6gb connections which I would use for OS drive and Media drive since these go direct to the intel x79 chipset. The other sata 6gb connections use marvel chipset and go through a pci express bus. Will it be ok to use the marvell sata for scratch even though some say it is a lil slower? Trying to avoid a bottle neck here.Thank you for your ears.DavidHere is board diagram: ftp://download.gigabyte.ru/manual/mb_manual_ga-x79-ud5_e.pdf

Good evening everyone, I am rendering a project with multiple dynamic link to AE. it is taking 3 hours although the project was entirely rendered minutes ago. I invested in a very fast computer (14CPU i9, SSDs, Sufficient RAM, latest graphic card)is there something I missed in the settings. Here is the stats summary:

Hi, I am using an AMD 32 core processor (Ryzen 2990WX). Looking at the task manager, I can see Premiere and the Media Encoder only using 8 cores while rendering a clip.My questions.1. Can I make adjustments of settings inside or outside Adobe for full utilization of all 32 cores (or at least more than 😎 ?2. If not, when does Adobe consider to support full computer capacity with new release ?Thank you for responding.

I just built a new "general purpose" PC to replace my backup NLE and general purpose machine.The new machine has a GTX1060 in it. The main machine has 1/4 as much RAM (32GB) as my main NLE, which is a dual Xeon E5-2667 w/128GB and a Titan X.For three years, I have never gotten Premiere to play back smoothly on the dual Xeon. I've been back and forth with Supermicro tech support to tweak the X10DRi motherboard to eek out the last ounce of performance.Fast forward to Dec 2018. I built a midrange system with i7-9770K, only 32GB RAM and a MSI GTX1060 that cost 1/5 of what the Titan X cost me. The lower end PC wipes the floor with with '$15,000 NLE I built in Aug 2015. Plays video effortlessly, no stutters, no dropped frames.Now here's where some of my question comes from:I use NVENC to export HEVC 4K video quite often. On my expensive NLE, it is barely realtime render speed, perhaps a little slower than realtime. GPU usage is pretty high during export.On my new machine, I tested a 4K expor

I have an EVGA FTW3 1080 Ti card. The project derives from Premiere Pro or AE and the card load is 0%, the processor load is 100%. In the settings, the map is visible and stands CUDA mode but why does not it work?

My son is in high school and has done some work with Power Director and some online video editors.  He is scheduled to get in some video editing classes that use Premier.  We would like to get him a computer where could work on projects outside the classroom.  I would like to buy him a system that can run Premier and other Adobe programs.  I am a public school teacher and do not have an unlimited budget.  I have looked at area stores - Best Buy, Sams, Staples, etc and have seen the variations in systems and prices.  I do not know much about 'Optane' and how that compares to true RAM.  from what I have read I want Intel i7, as much RAM as possible (I am not sure if 12 is enough or 24 including Optane will work), and at least 1TB of storage.  Any guidance anyone can offer would be appreciated.Systems I have seen:HP Laptop - Intel i7, 24 GB Memory (16GB Optane + 8GB RAM), 1TB HDD - $899Dell Desktop Tower Only - Intel i7+8700 - 24 GB Memory (16GB Opt

Anyone got a fix to this?Screenshot:Screenshot - af085b0ce59d9fb90761f4cbd70a4e97 - Gyazo

Hello,I am a student for Graphic Design. I ordered a laptop on amazon with an i7500u processor (2,7ghz base frequency 2 cores/4 Threats), 16gb RAM and 256gb SSD. I received it yesterday and realized they had send the laptop with an i8550u instead (1.8ghz frequency 4 cores/8 threats). Ive been trying to figure it out and do my research to learn about processors and such. I have found out, that a processor with a lower base frequency but more cores can have a better performance but it all depends on what program are being used. But I still do not know what will be best for my purposes. Im a student for Graphic Design, I will mostly be using my internet browser and Adobe InDesign /Photoshop / Illustrator. Sometimes more than one at the same time. Should I keep the i8550 (1.8ghz more cores) or have them send me what I originally ordered (2.7ghz less cores)? I thought I had done all my research and went for the 2.7ghz because of its base frequency but didn't know about the importance of the

I’ve got this rig:MSI Z79-G45 Gaming (MS-7821)Socket 1150 LGAIntel Core i7 4790 K @4GhzDDR3 Dual channel NON ECC 16 GB max 32 GBNvidia Geforce GTX 670.What are my options qua hardware to speed up rendering times?A 30 sec. clip 1080p in AE with lots of effects  takes about 30 minutes.Note: I don’t do video on a daily basis as a pro.

I've heard that Adobe only utilizes up to 10 Cores. Is this 10 cores per processor or can adobe handle/utilize multiple/dual processors each with up to ten cores? So, for example, would essentially I have twice the processing power with two 10 core CPU's and therefore render twice as fast in Premiere?

I just finished building a video editing PC based loosely on the recommendations for "Video Editing Supercomputer" described on the Logical Increments website. I probably would have stuck more closely to the example shown there but some of the components have been changed between the time I ordered my parts and now. In any case, my new video editing monster has now been up and running for about a week and I'm very happy with it. I've written <a href="https://photoperformance.photos/video/building-a-video-editing-pc/">a detailed blog post</a> describing some of the components and my experiences in doing the build. Hopefully, this will be helpful to someone.

Hello!I have a PC (Alienware R7) on Windows 10 with i5-8400, AMD Radeon RX 580, 16 Gb RAM.I use PP v 12.1.12 (build 69), as well installed PP 19 (I don't use it).With this kit I can't use GPU acceleration - the "Render" field is disabled in both apps (incl ME 2018 / 2019).Who knows how fix it?PS: creating the supported cards lists didn't help.

I've got the last MacBook Pro with the good Keyboard. I typically only use it while travelling and have not done much encoding on it until now. I have an extended trip coming up and I want to encode some videos that will encode all night long. I ran a test last night and notice the following while encodingThe fan stays on all the timeThe Battery drains to about 85% and hovers there even though plugged in with 85w chargerShould I be worried about my MacBook prematurely failing (mb, memory, hd, etc.) if I do this a lot or is it made for it and I shouldn't worry.  All stories welcome.Thanks,

i want use intel i9 9900k with  nvidia rtx 2080 ti for adobe premiere cc 2019 and all adobe softwares? or i use intel i9 9900k with  gtx 1080 ti for adobe premiere cc 2019 and all adobe softwares?  please tell me which i choose or both  for adobe premiere cc 2019 and all adobe softwares?

Hey there, I'm thinking about buying the maxed out new Huawei matebook x pro as an editing on the go and of course university machine.Reading about the 4gb minimum vram requirements for cc 2019 I'm not really sure, because of the matebook x pro only having the Nvidia mx150 with 2gb of vram. Does this mean that I cannot install premiere pro 2019 at all? Or is it just like a recommendation? Will only CUDA not work? For effect stuff and intense graphic stuff I got an desktop pc with gtx 1060.. Do you think it is worth getting the laptop or will it just be a pain in the ass only working with cc 2018Thanks in advance. Tim

Hi i had premiere on free trial and on 4/5 days he worked fine, but yesterday when i opened him my pc crashed (BSOD SYSTEM EXCEPTION NO HANDLED) my specs:CPU: i5-8500u 1..6Ghz with turbo boost 3.4GPU: MX150 2GB VRAM RAM: 8GBStorage: HDD 1000GB(Yes is a laptop)

Considering buying a late 2013 imac for Illustrator and Photoshop CS5.  It has Sierra loaded on it right now, which hopefully won't be a problem since I'm able to use my CS5 on a macbook pro with Sierra now too.Can anyone advice me if this imac would be a good purchase for just under $1,000?  It has i7 processor and 16gb ram and both HDD and SSD.  The specs are great, I'm just worried that it's an older computer and won't last for too much  longer.  My only other option is to buy a newer imac with only 8gb memory and then I'd also have to upgrade to Adobe CC which I am desperately trying to avoid.

Is anyone running CC19 without lag on their 16GB RAM laptop? I bought it 3 days ago and it is one of the highest recommended computers for editing and running premiere pro but it was lagging and freezing pretty badly on a basic video.

HP Elitebook 8770W Specs: - Intel Core i7-3820QM (Up to 3.70 GHz) - 32GB RAM - 256GB SSD (6GB/sec) - 17GB vram AMD FirePro M4000 - 17.3" Full HD (1920 x 1080) super wide-angle Display HP ZBook 17 Specs: - Intel  Core  i7-4800MQ CPU (up to 3.70 GHz) - 20GB DDR3L SuperFast RAM (32GB max) - 256GB SSD (6GB/sec) - 10GB vram Nvidia Quadro - 17.3" Wide-angle Full HD (1920 x 1080) Screen Both with same price, so im not sure which to get.Question is, can they run heavy video editing like Premiere Pro CC 2018? I'll be putting lots of effects to use and color grading.
