I want to buy a laptop that won't run slow when I use adobe creative cloud.

Looking for recommendations from people who do a lot of video editing.I'm starting a communications program where I will be doing a lot of video and photo editing. I just want a laptop that can run Adobe Premiere Pro smoothly.It seems like the GPU card recommendations on the system requirements website might be outdated, because I can't seem to find many laptops that match up with those listed GPU cards.Initially I was looking into buying an Asus Zenbook Pro UX501 (mostly because the $1500 is pretty affordable), but read that the incompatible GPU card was a problem. Now I am thinking of increasing my budget, and wondering if its worth it to just fork over the money for a new Macbook Pro because its easier than sifting through the internet for an adequate PC.

Hello, is it possible to use an old version of Premier Pro since I don't meet the system requirements for the current version? Processor AMD A10 5700 APU with radeom hd graphics 3.40 Ghz. RAM 8G

I have Nvidia GTX970 GPU card, which I use for Premiere's Mercury Playback Engine. It runs pretty smoothly.But I am recently having some problems with display. Monitor just starts fluctuating every now and then.I will be giving the card for warranty as soon as my current project is done. But till then, I don't want my customers to get disturbed because of this Fluctuation problem.So what I want to know is, if I connect my monitor to the on-board Intel Graphics, would I still be able to use Nvidia's CUDA for Mercury Playback Engine?

Hi, i am looking to speed up my editting,rendering and exporting in general but i hope that i do not have to buy a new laptop. would like to ask which part of the specifications of my laptop i should upgrade and what should i upgrade to?here are my specs!thanks for your help:)[Moderator note: moved to best forum]

I have a problem when I'm using the Lumetri plugin, it crashes when rendering the project, (I have noticed that a lot of people have problems with this plugin). I've tried uninstalling/installing Premiere Pro, degradering and updating the Graphics driver. Then I checked the system-requirements page:https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/system-requirements.html And sure enough, my graphics-card isn't on the list, will Adobe update Premiere Pro to support this card? (Asus NVIDIA 960GTX 2GB GDDR5 Strix). This my setup:Coolermaster Silent Midi TowerPower Supply 500W FSPAsus S1151, Z170 MotherboardIntel i7 3.40 GHz 8MB LGA1151 Skylake32 GB DDR4, 2133 Mhz CL15 KingstonAsus NVIDIA 960GTX 2GB GDDR5 StrixHynix SSD 250GB 540MB read / 470MB writeToshiba 2 TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB CacheWindows 10 Pro, 64bit

I just put together a new machine: Gigabyte GA-X99 Ultra Gaming mobo, i7 6800k, 32 GB RAM, and GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card. Hard drive configuration:1.) Samsung 950 Pro U.2 Drive: OS, Premiere CS6 and CC , 2) 1TB PNY SSD: Cache, Previews, and Preview Scratch Disks , 3) 1TB PNY SSD: Captured Video/Audio and Scratch Disks. I am editing GH4 4k .MOV files and am having a problem when I hit the "Toggle Track Output" and toggle between layers of 4k. It starts to drop frames like crazy, even if played at 1/8 the resolution. This only happens when I hit the toggle button (eyeball icon), and not if I am just playing numerous layers of 4k footage. This happens with both CS6 and CC even with current updates. Any suggestions?Thanks[Moderator note: moved to best forum]

I'm planning a new build to edit some 4K with HD and I got an email from Nvidia that their 1080 Ti goes on sale at 10PM. Should I buy it or wait for other vendors to release theirs?

Hello everyoneFirst of all, I'd like to thank you for taking the time read this and any input is helpful for me.I'm an editor using Premiere CC 2017 and I'm lucky enough to work in a company that has a couple of iMacs spare. I was using an iMac with the below spec:OS X El CapitanVersion 10.11.6iMac (27-inch, Late 2013)Processor 3.5GHz Intel Core i7Memory 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MBWhich has been great because of the ability to use CUDA when rendering/exporting.Whilst using the above iMac to export queued videos (AME), there were a few issues on the screen where the pixels seemed to be in the incorrect place https://uploadpie.com/pjXZPP . So instead, I have been working on the below iMac:OS X YosemiteVersion 10.10.5iMac (Retina 5k, 27-inch, Late 2014)Processor 4 GHz Intel Core i7Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3Graphics AMD Radeon R9 M290X 2048 MBAlthough this doesn't have the NVIDIA CUDA capability, it can still export but only one at a time (instead of queued)

Hello all. I am looking at upgrading a workstation at work. It is a 2010 Mac Pro. I am really leaning towards PC just for a few reasons. The upgrade flexibility, cost, and the rumors I hear are that Apple is going to no longer support the Mac Pro and move solely to iMac.We work with Sony Fs5 and A7sii footage and often have 3-4 camera timelines so multicam function is important to me.We also work with 4k footage from time to time and need seamless playback.We use After Effects for motion graphics but nothing too heavy.So here is what I am thinking.i7 6900kGTX 1080 TIASRock Fatal1ty X99X KillerG.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32GB DDR4 (Possibly 64gb)EVGA SuperNOVA 750 Power SupplySamsung 850 EVO 500GB SSDI will most likely get a liquid cooler for the CPU.I will pull 2x 1 TB out of the existing machine for cache.We use a dedicated network storage (Small Tree TZ-8) for all of our filesThanks for any input![Moderator note: moved to best forum]

My CPU/GPU usage is very low due to a bad setup of HHD/SSDs. Has anybody an idea if an USB-C Port can handle effectivly several drives at once over a dockinstation. I'm a Laptop editor so I always have to struggle with few a small internal drives and few ports. Thanks in advance!

I have a HP laptop. With that particular GPU which is more than 1 GB of ram? 1024 actually equals over a 1.024gb. So the issue I'm having is I can't use it in the mercury playback. is there a way as my renders are slow? I have to use my processor and ram which is a i7 and 16gb but it still renders slow.

I just put together a new machine, i7 6800k, 32 GB RAM, and GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card. Hard drive configuration:1.) OS, Premiere CS6 and CC on U.2 drive, 2) Cache, Previews, and Preview Scratch Disks on separate 1TB SSD, 3) Captured Video/Audio and Scratch Disks on another 1TB SSD. I am editing GH4 4k .MOV files and am having a problem when I hit the "Toggle Track Output" and toggle between layers of 4k. It starts to drop frames like crazy, even if played at 1/8 the resolution.

Here is the link to the online custom build:  http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1JKQLABased on my research and budget, I feel these three components are a must (but I am open):1.  i7 6900k2.  GTX 10803.  64GB RAM (quad channel, 2600 or higher speed)Obviously those three dictate all the rest and the rest is what I am most unsure of.  Well, I do like the idea of having an M.2 SSD, youll see that selected in the build.  I just want to be sure the mobo and the rest will allow this M.2 drive to actually reach those crazy (well over normal SSD) speeds.I truly appreciate any help you all can throw my way.  Thank you.

Crashing in my version of Premiere Pro CC 2017.0.2 v 11.0.2 (47) has become intolerable. When manipulating clips in the main timeline of my project, I get beachballed and have to Force Quit. It happens with Ripple Edit, copy/paste, even moving clips vertically from one video channel to another. It happens roughly every 10 minutes.I have an iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch, late 2014, 4GHz i7 processor, 32GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory, AMD Radeon R9 4096MB graphics card. The prproj runs from an external mechanical 2TB HDD, and is about 80MB in size.Among the fixes I've tried:uninstallation & reinstallationchanging Renderer (OpenCL / Metal / Software only)Removing Unusedbreaking the 120MB prproj file into separate smaller prproj filesdisable Composite Preview During Trimcopy and pastingHere's a recent screenshot (without beachball)I'm completely at the end of my tether and will be forced to find another editor unless this can be solved?[Moderator note: moved to best forum]

I am having dual monitor problems ever since I upgraded to Premiere Pro CC 2017. With dual monitor setup I am able to edit and view on both monitors just fine, but when I try to export the export screen does not appear and I have to Force Quit. When I re-boot and try to export with one monitor it exports fine. Wish I could find a fix.

I am looking at an upgrade for my aged PC and trying to plan out ssd/hdd setup.I plan to get an Intel® SSD 600p Series PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD - 1800MB/sRead & 560MB/s Write as well as a Samsung 850 pro.  I already have 4TB to store files (2 4TB drives in Raid 1).I believe, if I were to go off of advice seen in other threads, this is what I should do:Boot/OS = 850 proM.2 SSD = Current project files/CacheKeep HDD RAID 1 as longterm storage.But what is the point of cache if you have to have your current working files moved to fastest drive?  Isn't the pupose of the cache to make a copy of the file in a format and place that speeds up reading for editing?In other words, theoretically, couldn't I keep all files on HDD RAID, put cache on M.2, and OS on 850 pro?

Hello,I'm building up a machine. I'm going to use that machine mostly for After Effects, CC and Cinema 4D. I'm thinking to get a Core i7-6900K Processor (20M Cache, up to 3.70 GHz), 64Gb of RAM and EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FOUNDERS EDITION. I'm not sure about the graphics card though. Do you guys recommend something else like Quadro or Tesla rather than GTX ? my budget for the graphics card is no more than $700.Thanks.

Hello Everyone.I am in Panama and my Panasonic HVX-200p is in the U.S. I won't have an opportunity soon to retrieve it as the shipping and/or overweight luggage costs are very expensive here. I'm wondering if capturing on a tablet would suffice for internet only videos. However, I'm reading that phones offer superior video capture now. If I can't get a lossless output, then I think H.264 may suffice. Since I'm producing for internet only, nothing like broadcast quality is required. Then again, what about expensive cameras, GoPro? Camcorders? DSLR's? Something else? All shooting will be outdoors in daylight.I have discovered that there are wireless lavalier style mics with 3.5mm inputs for devices. I need to buy one, although I'm not sure which one(s) would offer reliable quality up to 10 feet or so distance. Perhaps someone can recommend one (or more).If I may impose upon you all to offer your opinions on my best, low-cost alternatives, I would be most grateful.Regards,Paul

Hello everyone I currently have a 3 drive system in my PC and was wondering what the best use of the drives is in order to make Premiere run in the best possible way. The drives are: 2x 240GB Sandisk SSD's - 500MB/s for read/write speeds1x 240GB Corsair M.2 drive - 3200MB/s read and about 1800MB/s writeI currently use them like this: 1x 240GB Sandisk SSD - Windows 10 1x 240GB Corsair M.2 drive - Adobe Premiere + After Effects + all the media I use in my project (including all videos, music, photos, etc)1x 240GB Sandisk SSD - Scratch DiskQuestion 1: Is there a better way to distribute the space across the 3 drives? Question 2: Would a fourth drive help? I was also considering getting a fourth regular SSD and have the following setup: 1x 240GB Samsung SSD - Windows 101x 240GB Corsair M.2 drive - Adobe Premiere + After Effects + all the media2x 240GB Sandisk SSD in Raid 0 - Scratch diskor I could do this: 1x 240GB Samsung SSD - Windows 101x 240GB Corsair M.2 drive - Adobe Premiere + After

Hello all, I've been looking at the list of recommended GPU's on Adobe's page and I am not seeing any of the latest processors. I am actually getting ready to build a computer and was wondering would any of these graphics card work? I would hate to spend all this money and I can't even use the GPU.

I am working in further education and we have a strict budget. We need new computers that are powerful enough to run Premiere with no issues we have been looking at a HP Prodesk 400 G3 Small Form Factor. However the Graphics card in this machine does not appear to be sufficient enough for Premiere so we need to look at putting a Graphics card that will fit in the machine and will adhere to the strict budget. Does anyone have a suggestion as to which card will fit in the HP unit but that will also be good enough to support premiere.

Hello Everyone,I'm looking to buy a laptop workstation and I'd like a second opinion. I move around a lot so a desktop just isn't viable. Originally, I was going to go with a Macbook, but after researching online I've decided to go with Windows for a number of reasons. At first, I was looking at the Asus Zenbook Pro:Intel i7 6700HQ NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 4GB16GB of RAM512GB SSD has a card reader (this is indispensable) $1,700But as I was looking around on the forums here it seemed that people have run into problems with this specific graphics card when using Premiere, so I continued on looking for the right PC. I considered the spec'd out Dell XPS, but it's over $1,000 more than the Asus, and I've read here to stay clear of Dell for various reasons. I also had a Dell back in the Windows XP days before going to Apple, and it was a nightmare. I also looked at the Razorblade Pro, but it's too expensive and the 1TB version is apparently sold out anyway. After days of searching for somethi
