Questions

I want to future proof it as best I can.  I do very straightforward, old school editing without much SFX work.  Don't even subscribe or know how to use After Effects but would like to have the muscle to use it someday soon... Beginning to use 4K...  Am involved with 360 video production.  I also really like the idea of a curved 34" monitor...  I'd like a recommendation for the best bang for buck system...   I consider Video storage to be a separate cost factor...Thanks

I need some help with the system requirements. I understand them fine but I have to purchase a computer for work where I'll be using Photoshop, illustrator and InDesign only for 40 percent of the time and the rest will be general office work and using Windows 7 Professional 64. I have looked at Lenovo and there are 2 options that I need help with. Processors:Intel Core i5-6400 Processor (6MB Cache, 2.70GHz) or Intel Core i5-7600 Processor (6M Cache, 3.5GHz, max. 4.1GHz) Graphics card: NVIDIA NVS315 (with DMS-59 to dual DVI single link dongle) - 1GB DDR3NVIDIA NVS315 (with DMS-59 to dual Display Port dongle) - 1GB DDR3 Nvidia Quadro K420 (DVI, DP) - 2GB DDR3Nvidia Quadro K620 (DVI, DP) - 2GB DDR3 NVIDIAGeforce GT730 2GB DDR5 64bit DP High ProfileAMD Radeon R7 350 2G DDR5 128bit HDMI High Profile ( I think this is only compatible with Windows 😎The rest I understand as both options have RAM 8GB DDR4 2400 UDIMMHardrive 1TB Hard Drive, 7200 RPM, 3.5", SATA3I would greatly appreciat

I'll try my best to keep this simple. I have a PC with Windows 10 and a GTX 970 GPU, plus two monitors - An ASUS PB287Q 4k Monitor and a 2nd 21:9 LG Ultrawide Monitor (which I used for my timeline only).When I restart my computer and open up Premiere CC17 and then set my workspace to have the timeline appear in the 2nd 21:9 monitor, things (in Premiere Pro Timeline only) don't scroll like they should (all other apps/browser work fine and scroll as normal). Normally you'd hover over the audio tracks anywhere on the timeline and if you scrolled up or down with your mouse the audio tracks would move up or down, right? Same with video tracks. But in my projects, in order to scroll up or down in the audio tracks I have to hover over the far left side of the VIDEO tracks (maybe around video track 2 or 3) and THEN the audio tracks will scroll. Go a bit higher up to maybe video track 3 or 4 on the left side of the timeline and then the video tracks scroll up and down. Scrolling left and right

I am currently using an Intel Core i7-2600K CPU with 24GB of DDR3 dual-channel RAM, 500 GB SSD boot drive, 250GB SSD scratch drive and an nVidia GeoForce 9600 GT graphics card, using mainly Lightroom CC, Photoshop CC and Premiere Pro CS5.I am planning to upgrade my PC with a Ryzen-7 1700X AMD CPU in an MSI X370 SLI Plus motherboard with 32GB of G.Skill Flare-X F4-2400 Ryzen DDR4 RAM and an Asus GeForce GTX 1060 Turbo 6GB graphics card.The total cost of this upgrade is $1400 and for me at the moment it's a lot of money. I am expecting at least 70% better performance but I wonder if I'm spending my money well? CPU + MB is $700, RAM is $340, GPU is $370.Will I get good performance from this upgrade? Or will I just wish I'd spent more and bought maybe an i7-7700K Gaby Lake upgrade?Thanks, Tony

Hey guys, was curious if there was some kind of configuration I had wrong - but I expected that Premiere would use all my CPU power to export a video in H.264 - but it only seems to hit 20-25% max. Is there something I can change? I'm using the Youtube 1080p preset (I use a copy in the screen shot so it just appears at the top of the list.)If this is normal - how could I increase the speed of my video exports for YouTube? Should I be using a format besides H.264? I thought a CPU with more cores was all I needed. From what I can tell in other threads, the GPU would only help for certain tasks (effects, resizing). I'm also using separate SSD's for the source video and export location - so I don't think disk write is the bottleneck. Any advice would be great!

I am in the process of upgrading to a new computer and will be doing video editing. The computer configuration I am looking to purchase has Nvidia GTX 1070. I would like to know if there are any compatibility issues with the card and Adobe Premiere. Internet discussions suggest there are issues, but I cannot determine if the issues have been resolved or not. Please include GTX 960 in your response. I do not want to buy a superior more expensive video card if a lower priced one will be adequate. Please help. Thanks.

Hello everyone,Does anybody here uses AMD Ryzen 1700/X (or without x), and can give a feedback on it's preformence?If there is, can you tell me what Motherboard you are using? Memory card and GPU?Thank you!Jonathan

I'm finally able to upgrade my workstation. Well, upgrade is the wrong word. I'm finally able to get a workstation once again! The last couple of years I've been on the road so much that I did'nt "need" a workstation for the kind of work I did. Been using my Asus UX51VZ (UX51VZ | Notebooks | ASUS Singapore) without to much problem.So! Some of the tasks I usually do.Editing in Premiere ProLumetriWarp StabilizerTitlesTransitonsSometimes DaVinci Resolve for grading. But not all so much as in Premiere.Rarely After Effects. Maybe a little more now when new the animation and titlefunctions was released in Premiere.I do more photo editing than video editing. Importing, organizing and raw editing in CaptureOne.Editing in Photoshop. Alot of beauty retouch, levels, selective color and such. Usual filesize for a project is around 800-1200mb.The camera most of my footage comes from is the Nikon D750 (H.264/MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding). No 4k, just 1080p. Sometimes random footage from a gopro but

Hey,i recently bought me a Asus ROG G752VS-GC054T, i7 6820HK, 32 GB RAM + GTX 1070 and was hoping to edit much more faster in Premiere CC.I have been struggling,with this the past days...tried almost ever tip i found on the internet (installed cuda drivers,manually set up the "supported cards" text file...etc.)The problem is that Cuda support is shown and selectable in CC, but it doesnt seem to access the GTX 1070. With everthing i do, its always just the CPU maxed out at almost 100%. And i am only editing HD material not even 4K. At the moment i need to edit a multicam project, and its just pure frustation, its so slow like a slideshow - i cant work like that. 😞I even tried older drivers or converting the files (which were sony XAVC) to MXF and other, but even that didnt do the trick. Any suggestion what i can do else? I have been struggling with this almost the whole night and i am getting crazy already...Thanks!

Hello, to start off here is a link to the PC that i am building: https://www.scan.co.uk/3xs/shared/4c8b51af-e549-4295-bca0-01a22b9264dc The question is, will this PC run premiere pro cc? i have looked at the system requirements page that adobe suggests, however i couldn't see the processor or graphics card that i have selected among the list the adobe provides. This computer is a top spec AMD PC so i imagine that it will run fine. However when spending this much money there is no harm in double checking. Another question is, is a sound card necessary? the motherboard will come with the sound outputs i need for my speaker setup and as far as i can tell the card itself isnt needed. (yet adobe say a card is necessary) Im feeling a little confused at this point and need some advise. please help!Thank you, CharlieMotherboardsAsus PRIME X370-PRO, Aura lighting, SLI & CrossFireAMD CPUs and OverclockingAMD Ryzen 7 1800X, Zen, 8-core with SMT, 3.6GHz, 4GHz Turbo [Stock - CPU left at default

Looking for a laptop somewhere in the $2000 range. I can go a little more say $2500 if it warrants the extra cash. I was set on the Dell XPS 15 9560, but with so many issues, i've shied away. Then i was looking at the Asus Zenbook, but i read on the forum here that the graphics card doesn't work that well for adobe. I saw this machine here: Amazon.com:Amazon.com: MSI GS63VR Stealth Pro 4K-228 15.6" 4K Display Thin and Light Gaming Laptop Core i7-7700HQ GTX 1060 16GB 512… Which seems like my best bet, aside from the similarly priced HP Zbook G3 which some guy did a youtube video on: B&H Photo Video The Zbook sure is ugly though. Looking for something to handle 4k video in Pr and Ae with ease for cool effects and stuff. Will also be doing some Ps and Lr work. Im not really tech savvy beyond the basics. So when people talk about quad core processors and dual core processors i have no clue what they're talk about, so thats why im coming to this forum for help. So what do you guys think

Hi there,I work with 4K R3D files and am considering upgrading my system to enable either:4K monitoring at 1/1 or 1/2 debayerHD monitoring at 1/1 debayerCurrently, my system's output is 1920x1080 - mostly smooth at 1/2, perfect at 1/4.Specs...MB: ASUS X99-ACPU: I7-5930K (Asus Turbo setting) RAM: 32GB DDR4GPU: GTX 970Media: 7200RPM drives (considering setting up RAID)I'm not exactly sure where any bottlenecks might be...Any thoughts on what component upgrades are required for either option, or adequate system specs in general would be hugely appreciated.

Running two MBPs at the mo' from 2011 and, frankly, I'm going to have a breadown. They are unusable with the new suite of programs from Adobe.Not heard great things about the current MBPs. There's talk of a new 32GB RAM version next year. Or can anyone recommend a really good Windows option?Thanks for any opinions, advice,etc…

Hello everyone My brother is moving to PC, and even though I know PC pretty well, I'm not an expert with video editing, so I come here to ask ig the config I made for him is good or not This is what I'm thinking for him:1 x Ryzen 1800X1 x noctua1 x asus prime x370 pro4 x gskill trident 16 Go ddr4 3000 MHz1 x msi 1080ti armor oc1 x fractal design S1 x corsair ax 7601 x SSD Samsung 256 GB 850 pro (for the system)1 x Samsung 960 evo nvme 250 GB (for the cache)1 x crucial mx 300 1TB (media files)1 x Seagate barracuda 3TBSo, I chose the 1080ti because he does a lot of after effect too, not only premiere, and he also uses davinci.My big question was for the disk configuration, I did like that because of that link: https://www.scan.co.uk/3xs/info/storage-drives-for-video-editing Is it overkill, is it the right way to put the cache on the nvme, instead of the system?(He will have a NAS to move all his finished project, that's why I don't plan on having a raid for the HDD)Thank you

Hello all, I am sure this question has been asked ad nauseam, however my searches have not provided the answers I seek.  Can you spare me a few minutes of your time, and advice??  Thank you in advance!I have a dell laptop, and the full 2017 adobe cc suite subscription - been a subscriber for 2 years now.  I mainly use PP and AE, with a little LR in there too.  But I am always learning (mainly from you kind folks)...and as you have probably guessed, no matter how powerful my dell SSD 16gb laptop is, it just can't handle the work...and my last project has pushed me to the limit of my frustration, especially considering how much I pay for adobe - seems a waste if I can't use it to its (and my) potential. Now, let's also keep in mind I am not a professional like many of you here, this is a hobby that I use 99% for drone footage I capture for myself and clients.  I have already spent a pretty penny on the drone, and accessories over the years...but truth be told, I

I'm a long time Mac user looking to switch over to a PC for my After Effects work and was wondering what websites you'd suggest using to build one?Here's what I'm thinking right now:Processor: Intel Core i7 6900K 3.2GHz (3.5-4GHz) 8 CoreVideo Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8GBMotherboard: I don't know... something that supports Thunderbolt. Thanks!

Hi. I would like to assemble video rendering machine. The idea is to install Premiere Pro and with remote control initiate editing and exporting video in project shared on common drive. The editing of the video will be performed with either my laptop or the same remote control if it is not regards to color editing. It is designed to free my laptop resources.The question is in resource relations. Should I put more money in my motherboard and processor or in the video adapter? Should I have some other advice for that?[Moderator note: moved to appropriate forum]

I saw a newer youtube video where the person claims that updating Adobe Cloud has made a significant difference in his AMD Ryzen performance. Any idea if there was such an update?

So I've been wanting a video editing station for a long, long time and have finally been able to put a computer together. I finished it today, and have just fired it up for the first time. I'm running a Ryzen 1800x, 32 GB Ram (DDR4 3000), 760 GTX. I have a 500GB SSD and twin 2 TB HHD drives (X370-PRO mobo). Using Windows 10 and holding out to see what the new Vega card will do so just using my old gaming card for now.I am completely new to all of this (building it was not easy for me and took about 3 days to complete). I have no idea how to do all these RAM/GPU optimizations (yet) and I don't even understand what overclocking is just yet.  But.. all of that later. I'm just letting you know I'm green like Kermit.Right now, I'm just interested in the best way to organize my video workflow. I fly drones and have a lot of 4K video I want to edit (mostly Premiere right now but I think I'm going to finally get an Adobe subscription for all products as well). Can someone suggest the opti

Hello,I just got the bose q35 bluetooth headphones and am using them with my "trash can" mac. I've got a blackmagic ultrastudio monitor that i use for SDI video out. At first everything was working perfectly, but now while I can hear spotify and system sounds playing through my headphones, for some reason in premiere  the audio meters move but the sound doesnt go anywhere...  When i go to the audio hardware preferences and select the headphones under default output, i get the following error: "the device settings could not be applied because the following error occured... The Sample rate is not supported by the current audio device. The last valid settings will be used"I try changing the sample rate in the dialogue box below but it wont accept any changes. Also when i switch to my blackmagic for playout everything works fine...Any ideas?Josh

@11150001 off thank you for your help!@@I purchased a Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 4-1570 80sb (specs below), prior to getting back into video editing and graphic animation (Ae, Pr, Ps, Encoder CC 2017).​Although it hasn't been horrible, I would like to work at a more efficient speed (i.e. encoding, rendering, animations) I have 2 external 1TB HDD, USB 3.0, @5400rpm, 120mb/s read/write.
