Running Adobe Premiere CC2018 on my custom PC has been really buggy for me lately.  It crashes often, it's very laggy, sometimes it has a hard time even starting to play normal clips.  I'm working with some 60 fps footage, and some 4k footage.  Do I need to upgrade my hardware?  Here's what I'm working with:Windows 10 home edition64 bit operating systen, x64 based processorProcessor: Intel Core i7-3770k cpu @3.50GHz 3.50 GHzRam: 16 gb DDR3, 1600 MHz, 2 of 4 slots used, DIMM form factor, 47.1 mb hardware reservedHard drive: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 2TBGPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Motherboard: P8Z77-V Pro/ThunderboltI have CUDA turned on.[Moderator note: moved to best forum.]

The user does video editing with Adobe Premiere on an iMac with Thunderbolt 2.They are looking for a well-priced 16TB RAID 5Would the following configuration be good?Drobo 5Dt: 5-Drive Direct Attached Storage (DAS) Array with mSATA SSD acceleration - USB 3 and Thunderbolt 2 ports (Empty) DRDR5A21-T  (3.5 stars on Amazon)Seagate 4TB IronWolf NAS SATA 6Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive (ST4000VN008)  (5 of these)The cost looks to be about $1100.00Is there another manufacturer that we should look at?Any problems with Drobo?Thanks

So basically, every time I launch or playback a video in premiere or after effects my pc bluescreens. The blue screen error is DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION.Heres some diagnostic info for the problem. System specs:i9 7900x overclocked to 4.6ghz on all 10 cores  ---- note, its stable and i have the issue on default clock speed.2x Nvidia GeForce Titan Xp --- august driver cuz the new ones don't like java for some reason lol2x Samsung 960 Pro 2tb SSD 8x 16 G.skill something ram --- tried swapping all dim slots & changing out ram.Asus x299 Motherboard ---- tried to reset biosOS: Windows 10 Build: 1709 (OS Build 16299.192)Side notes: I have reinstalled windows. I have also tried earlier graphics drivers, I tried swapping my GPU's and ram. No luck.I would really appreciate it if someone helped me, Thanks!

Hi,I'm going to build a render PC which will have to command line render After Effect projects (aerender.exe). So text and shape layers with expressions and mask. All background animations with heavy effects will be prerenderd on the workstation pc before send to this new render pc.The videos will be about 10 to 15 seconds, 1024x1024 pixels. Most for social media uploading.I've chose for a CPU with a high base freq, because from what I understand thats what AE uses to render. Amount of cores is not that important with 2D.CPU and SSD (and fast internet) would be crucial to render video, write video, and send the video quickly. For now I have 100mbit up and down, possible to upgrade to 500mbit.1x CPU = Intel Core i7-8086K1x Motherboard = Asus ROG Strix B360-I Gaming2x SSD = Samsung 970 Pro 512GB1x RAM = G.Skill Trident Z RGB F4-3200C16D-16GTZR1x Power supply = be quiet! SFX Power 2 400WDoes anybody see bottlenecks or other suggestions? Thanks!!

I want to get a second device to use at a non-profit where I volunteer. We have a Canon iPF 670 large format roll-feed printer. I want to print posters from Illustrator CC.

I am running PE 2018 on my Windows 10 (Dell Inspiron 5000 laprop). My laptop has an HDD and not an internal SSD. I  bought a Samsung T5 (500 GB) to store my media on.  Can I  or should I move the Premiere Elements software to this external ssd since it should be faster than my internal hard drive?

I posted this in another section of the forum but was told to re post it here in the hopes this may be a hardware problem.  I've done Bill's PPBM8 test, the results are below.PPBM8 Results: 56/45/14/185I've just built a new system with speed in mind, specks are below.  I'm trying to export a video out of Premiere, it's 4K video shot at 60 FPS that's being saved out to 1080P@59.94 FPS and the entire clip is about 1.2 minutes long.  The clip is made up of two nested sequences, the first is a two layer comp, one layer is regular 4K video and the second layer is an animation sequence with an alpha channel, the second nested sequence is a linked after effects comp.  I'm saving out the video using the H.264 format & the high quality 1080p preset, render at maximum depth is checked as well as use maximum render quality, all other settings are default.   The time it's taking to encode this video is in excess of an hour and if my machine were maxed out I would

Hi everyone,I searched the forum and can't find recent answers on Alienware laptops. They have an online sale happening so I am interested in getting one for Premiere Pro.These are specs:- Intel Core i7-8750H (6-core, 9MB Cache, up to 4.1GHz w/ turbo boost- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 OC with 8GB GDDR5- 17.3" QHD (2560x1440)- 23GB DDR4-2666MHz- 256GB PCIe M.2 SSD + 1TB 7200RPM HDD1. Though I understand these are for gaming, are Alienware laptops considered good for video editing? 2. Does anyone in the forum have experience with their products, with respect to video editing? 3. I am still a beginner and barely shoot 4K. I plan to export 1080 footage - does it sound reasonable to NOT opt for the 4K screen?I understand this might be overkill, but I am comparing this sale price to what I'd pay for an iMac, which is slightly more expensive, with less impressive specs. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks,Natalie

What combo works better for Blender and Premiere Pro: I7-7700HQ + GTX 1080 or i7-8750H + GTX 1070? Thanks!

I am looking for file settings that will work with the hyperdeck studio mini- hopefully the new MP4 file format it can use.  I am exporting from Premiere.

Right now I'm editing video on my 2015 13 inch macbook pro. It has 512 gbs of storage, so I imported about 200 gb the other day and got to editing. The computer handles it pretty well, but recently I've heard that importing all the footage to the drive on the computer is not that efficient. Can you edit video straight from an external ssd or hdd, and if you can, how does the speed compare to using the native drive on the macbook? Thanks[Moderator note: moved to best forum]

Hello,I am looking into building/ getting a PC for mainly render only purposes. I have been trying to figure out whether a good GPU is much of use on After Effects (and ideally on Premiere as well). I am a bit of a beginner in terms of computer structure, but so far I've been looking into the other elements being CPU i5 8600k, 16-32 GB DDR4 RAM and in terms of GPU was looking at 1080 GTX, but is it necessary?I want to also mention that a variety of budgets would be ideal, just so I know what the potential is out there.Any advice on what would work best for a pc for best render on AE and Premiere overall would be much appreciated! Thank you, and I apologise for my little knowledge.

Hello!I am currently working on several complex projects in Premiere Pro and After Effects, and I'm concerned that I'm not getting the performance I should be getting out of my computer. Specifically, I don't think Premiere Pro is using the GPU the way it's supposed to.I've already covered the basics of troubleshooting—Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Media Encoder are all set to use the CUDA version of the Mercury Playback Engine, and GPUSniffer correctly identifies my GPU.Now I'm ready to embark on more serious testing. For starters, here's my system build:Intel i7 8700K Processor (running at stock speeds)MSI Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB GPU32GB RAM250GB Samsung 860 EVO SSD (Windows 10, Adobe apps, Adobe project files)500GB Samsung 960 EVO M.2 SSD (Project files, media cache)My projects vary in length and complexity, but one I've been working on is an 11-minute video with multi-cam editing of three angles, two shot in 1080x1920 and the other shot in 2.7K. All three angles have Lumetri Color a

Hiya. It took me a whole day to install the drivers for the card - mini monitor 4k- (installed in PCI-x8 slot ) and get the card recognized by WIN 7 pro. Newest BM driver worked.. just had to keep clicking 'install' about 10 times. Got signal on reference monitor … Lilliput FA10113/S … field monitor ( 10.1" ). When making new project in CS6 I have several choices. The monitor is only good for full HD, like 24 fps which is what I shoot anyway.I have a MSI graphics card in PCI X 16 slot, with Nvidia Cuda, and 2 monitors connected via DVI, and now the BM card.When I set up a test project to get the ref monitor to work I chose Blackmagic playback and both monitors hooked up to graphics card.Also chose Blackmagic preset ( full hd progressive 23.97 fps) and put some junk video in timeline to test signal.I got signal, via SDI, and got sound ( chose BM sound preference ) but got black screen. My 2 monitors ...got basic GUI of cs6 on monitor 1 and got full screen playback on monitor 2.Any insig

It might be strange to ask but i am asking because imI fed up honestly i bought a laptop that has a card that's great and all but not supported by adobeSo now I'm looking at a computer with:Intel i5-2500Asus GTX 1060 3gb dual fan (white colored)Will it work in adobe programs?

Hi there,Coming from Apple computer, I'd ask some information about these two laptop:DELL XPS-15 9560 and New Razer Blade  4kUHD Considering that I'm going to use it for 4k editing and heavy Photoshop jobs, and considering GPU performance and monitor quality, what will you choose?Or if you have more suggestions, they'd be appreciated.thanks in advance for your kind advice🙂

Hey guys - Admittedly, I am not great on the hardware side of things (nor am I looking to be, I just want to edit/render videos with ease and quick turn around, but recently learned about this system.  It is enticing to me and seems as though it would be suitable for editing video for a few years.  I like its portability because it would allow me to carry my workflow with me from jobsite to home or if I have to travel.  I understand that I have to purchase ram and ssd hard drive, which I'm ok with.Intel NUC 8 Premium VR Capable Mini PC Kit NUC8i7HVK - Newegg.com I will primarily be working with 1080p.Can I get some input form my fellow Adobe friends on this system?  I really want to avoid having to piece together a custom computer and this seems like a compromise.  Any suggestions on RAM or SSD Hard drive?Thanks in advance!!!Matt

My current spec- don't laugh - is an i7 2600, GT520, 16GB RAM, and 3 internal drives (128GB SSD, 1.5TB and 2TB). Its actually held up remarkably well for danged well nearly a DECADE, which is longer than I've ever owned any single computer and ever expected to. It actually still performs well enough for virtually all of my work even today, especially since I'm still working primarily in 1080p timelines, but I'm starting to shoot more footage in 4k since some of the more modern cameras do better in that scaled down to 1080 than they take in 1080p natively. With 4k, my system is finally showing its age, though. I'm wondering what I can do to improve performance without investing too much into this- I'm currently saving up for some camera gear which would actually improve my workflow, so anything over $500 might need to wait until later. I *can* continue with this box for a bit longer (surprisingly), so my budget beyond that is difficult to justify. My options, as I see them:1)Upgrade the

Lately I have just been a slow down on my Desktop computer, which is equipped with an i7-5820K, GTX 1080, 32GB RAM, and many SSD's. Though my Laptop has an i7-7700HQ, 16GB RAM, and a GTX 1060. But when editing in either Premiere Pro, or After Effects, it feels that If doing things such as scrubbing on the timeline, doing renders on the timeline, and just previewing footage feels faster, and smootherFrom my Laptop, and I am unsure why? I know that my Laptop has a newer generation processor, which I get, but I don't think that would make much of a difference when compared to My Desktop. However, the only HUGE difference between my Desktop and Laptop is that my Laptop has a 250 GB PCIe SSD has the boot drive, and my Desktop just has an 850 Evo, however the Media is always being previewed from an External Hard Drive, or another internal 850 Evo. Lately I have tried doing everything that I could possibly think of to try and speed up the performance of my Desktop, which would be hard to list

Best GPU for upgrading 3,1 mac pro?Looking to improve rendering times, export times and realtime playback.

So I just got hired into a hospital system as the AV coordinator. I have been given the liberty of upgrading the current editing station (Dell XPS) with the following specs:i7-4790 CPU 3.6Ghz16GB RAM1TB HDDRendering with this machine has been a pain. I just wanted to know what pre-built workstation would be best to purchase in 2018. Debating on Dells 7900, HP Z8, and or Alienware 51 (i9 X series). My priority would be maximum rendering speeds since I am rendering daily.[Moderator note: moved to best forum.]
