Dear community,I´ve been using Adobe Creative Cloud since a few weeks. I´m thinking about aquiring a mini PC and am wondering if it would be possible to use certain applications on it. I normally need only Indesign, Photophop and Adobe Acrobat, but have these applications often open at the same time. Apart from these applications I normally have only Micosoft Office and some other smaller applications on my PC.Is it possible and if yes, what mini PC would be best for this purpose?Thank you for your help.

Hello everyone, I am wanting to upgrade my current setup to increase my speeds in Premier Pro. My current setup is listed below but I am unaware what route I should take for this task. Whether an NVME, M.2, or just a regular SSD. Budget isnt crazy tight but there is one.Gigabyte Gaming 3 B350MRyzen 1700 OC'ed to 3.932 Gb Trident Z Ram at 2933EVGA 1080ti250 Gb SSD1 TB 7200rpm HDD[Moderator note: moved to best forum]

I have a mid 2010 15 inch MacBook Pro. I know that I need 8gb's of ram to run Premiere Pro. That being said, can anyone here simply tell me if my computer will be able to handle Premiere Pro and After Effects? Thank you in advance?

I'm considering updating my current system. Realistically I have about GBP1k-1.2k to spend (around US$1500).Here's my current set up:i7 2600k32gb ddr3 2666 RAMGTX 760 4gb Drives: ssd1 (120gb) OS and programsssd2 (256gb) Media cachessd3&4: 2 x 256gb in Raid 0 (getting 970 mbps read and write speeds) – Scratch/Previews/Exports(these are all Samsung Pros)HDD 4x2tb WD Blacks in Raid 0 (getting 580+ mbps read and write speeds) – Project MediaI often have several projects on the go as well as regular clients where i'm using the same media several times a year, hence the 8tb Raid 0 for media files has been useful. I've tried to keep it under 75% utilised though.I also have an old Blackmagic Decklink Extreme 3 HD card attached to it for monitoring. My footage is mainly Sony f5/f55/fs7 avc intra MXF, log 2 and 3, in HD1080. And it all works fine...at HD. 4K works too with a bit of dropping to half res. R3D files can be sticky and horrible, but RED projects are only a twice a year occurrence

Hello,I'm a systems engineer and don't have a CC installation in my office.Does anyone know if it's possible to capture live input from different audio and video sources?  In this case, it would be an AJA IOXT for the video, and USB (core audio) for audio tracks.  The idea is to get multi-channel audio directly from a mixer with a USB connection, while also recording the video from the IOXT (without needing to embed all the audio tracks into the SDI video).  I have no way to determine if Premiere will allow this and it's too specialized for the manual.Thank you!

Hey guys,Just having a bit of a strange problem here. When putting a lot of stress on my workload via many track layers and effects within Premiere, I am finding that occasionally my program crashes, along with a Windows error message with a yellow caution sign icon, that warns that Premiere is using too much RAM and must be shut down!I am working on a Threadripper 1950x system with 32GB of quad channel RAM. In the past, when using a Ryzen 1700x with a near-identical dual channel 32GB of RAM, I would never get this issue.I set the allocated RAM usage in the Premiere preferences to 16GB and optimize for performance. So I am curious why it is still hogging beyond that amount allocated. In my CAM hardware monitoring software, I am seeing RAM usage going up to 80% for some reason.What could be the issue here? I don't honestly think that 64GB was necessary for complex 4K workloads. Is that changing these days? Is Threadripper RAM hungry?Any advice or solutions to this issue would be greatly

Hey guys,I am looking for a bigger external hard drive for my new 27" iMac (3.8GHz, 40GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Radeon Pro 580 8GB video memory) where I can edit my 4K video material straight from it without transferring to my internal SSD first.The biggest video files I work with is 4K RED footage with 200-300fps.So my general question for this matter is: Is the type of the drive (SSD vs HDD) more relevant than the available ports (USB-C Gen 2 vs. Thunderbolt 3) regarding speed? If this is a yes or no question at all.At the moment I use a LaCie rugged T2 drive which is plugged to the Thunderbolt 3 port from the iMac via USB-C to T2 adapter. Would the Samsung T5 SSD be an upgrade regarding 4K editing speed in this case regardless of its slower USB-C gen 2 port?Also, are external hard drives with T3 connection such as the newest G-Drive or the LaCie d2 Thunderbolt 3 any faster in the actual editing speed than the Samsung T5 since they are "only" HHD drives?Hope you guys will help me clear my h

As I'm migrating from Lightroom/Photoshop to Premiere and After Effects, my Surface Pro 3 computer just isn't cutting the mustard I need something a bit beefier, but my budget is limited to betweet $1000-1400.  I've found a few good options on NewEgg.I'm wondering if the GTX 1070 is a good card for video work?  Would this card be significantly better than  a lower card such as the 1050?    What about RAM?  I'm choosing between machines with either 16gb or 32gb.  Obviously 32 sounds better, but which would be most useful for Adobe products -- more RAM or a better video card?Is there a significant difference between I7 machines running at 3.5ghz vs 4.3ghz?  Will I see that different in Adobe products?I don't play games at all and I'm only looking for a photo/video machine.  I'm hoping to run 2 4k tvs as monitors (I use one quite comfortably with my Surface Pro).  I know the 1070 card is more comfy with 2k and maybe 4k for games, but

Dear Sir or Madam,I plan to change/upgrade my desktop's motherboard because now it is too slow and obsolet for my software environment.

Hi there.I am creating videos for a school and want to have a fast machine for video editing with Premiere Pro CC 2017.  I will be working in HD, but not 4K.  What would you recommend in terms of components for such a machine?  I am interested in a desktop PC, but would consider a laptop if there is one that will do the trick.Thanks for our suggestions.Peter[Here is the list of all Adobe forums... https://forums.adobe.com/welcome][Moved to Hardware forum...

Hello!I want to get into video editing (Adobe Premiere CC) and am only doing this as a hobby, so I don't need top tier spec/equipment. I plan to make drone videos (DJI Mavic Pro & DJI Osmo gimbal) in 4k resolution and want to post them on youtube. I am a complete newbie when it comes to computers, but would like to build my own PC; my price cutoff is $2000 for a customer built desktop + good ~20" monitor (again, I'm only a hobbyist so I don't need the best or a 4k monitor)1) Where do I even start when it comes to building my own computer? Is it pretty easy for anyone to build one?2) What specs/parts do I need to run Adobe Premiere & edit 4k footage?3) What's a good monitor thats around 20" that provides me sharp & accurate colors  (doesn't have to be 4k resolution)?Thanks!!

I have a late 2016 Macbook. with these specs. It works great when I'm just using 1 editing program. But if I have Premiere pro, photoshop and maybe another program open it grinds to a hault, which kills my work time. Wondering if anyone knows of a laptop  no more than $1500 that would be great for editing. I know most people believe mac is the way to go, but it just seems I can get more bang for my buck with pc. Don't have $3000 to drop into Apple. Thanks...

Hello,I make proxy files in Premiere Pro to edit. Will using the proxy files on an SSD make it faster?

Hi,We plan to purchase a new machine to support Adobe Photoshop, adobe illustrator and Adobe After effects, and would like to understand the system requirements to best support these programs:-1) How does the CPU core affect performance for all 3 applications?What is the recommended number of cores? 2) Other than the ray tracing benefits, is there any other benfits of using a high end graphics card (QuadPro), vs a consumer card?3) GDDR5 memory: How much is recommended?We are using a Windows system.Thanks!

Hi There, I am writing because I am unable to download the most up to date version of Adobe Premier Pro cc ver. 12.0 2017 as of September 2017 which I require to open and continue editing existing film projects in this version of premier.  I am attempting to download this programme on an apple macbook pro, which has OS X ver. 10.10.5. I have purchased and renewed my subscription to adobe creative cloud, uninstalled my old version of premier pro as it was from 2014 and was around version 7.0, and have attempted to download the most up to date version, however, it says that my computer does not meet the minimum system requirements. When I have checked my system requirements, it has looked as though my computer meets all of them. What is the cause of this, and how can i fix it?Best wishes, Ana Scotney.

I am having several issues with my configuration and using Premiere.

The first clip just fades to black then the next clip appears once the cross dissolve section is complete. The clips do not fade into one another. Read more on the forum and older posts (previous Premiere versions) suggested rendering in software mode only. Chan

The title says it all, touch screen is not a priority, and a display that can do 1920x1080 is a priority. Thanks!

Hi there,I have two internal drives on my MacBookPro:- 1x SSD (SATA):          OS X, Premiere Pro CC, Media Cache (at the moment )- 1x HDD (SATA):          I use an external HD (Raid 0, USB 3.0) for my video files.My Question:          Should I move the Media Cache to my internal HDD, so that the SSD can focus on the program?Thanks for your replies,Andreas

I recently upgraded my graphics card from a GTX 780ti to a GTX 1080, I'm using the latest version of Premiere Pro CC.When I had the GTX 780ti my GPU utilisation during rendering was 70% or above and my CPU utilisation was often under 50% but since upgrading to the GTX 1080 my GPU utilisation maxes out at 10% during rendering and my CPU is maxed out at 99-100% at all times.Not only this but my rendering times are slower than they were before the upgrade.I've double checked the Cuda option is selected, I've done clean installs of the latest nvidia drivers as well, is there something else I need to change or select?[Moderator note: moved to appropriate forum]

Just found this short article on the BBC.  Western Digital are apparently developing using microwaves to dramatically increase data density on 3.5 inch drives.  I Mwonder if there will be a speed increas to go with it?  It would take a long time to back up 40Tb with todays HDD speeds.Microwave breakthrough helps boost hard drive sizes - BBC NewsWestern Digital's new MAMR technology promises 40TB HDDs by 2025 - TechSpot
