I tried premiere pro CC,and I'll edit 1080p60 DNxHD media:If I'll move to 4k,I'll create 1080p proxies,so non problem

Can I use it without lag? I read a lot of posts complaining about Premiere's high requirements,but "system requirements" page is too generic(for example "multicore processor 64-bit..."pentium or Xeon????)

i5 6500

Gtx 1060 6gb

16gb ddr4 2133mhz

120gb samsung 850evo(OS and programs)

1tb 7200rpm wd caviar blue

I can buy an additional 120gb ssd if necessary

1)no,not lots of time(no more than 30-45min for a 30 minute clip)

2)so,will realtime playback be smooth and without lag and dropped frames?

i want to add as many affects as i want,but i'll do most of the job in AE(that doesn't have realtime preview)

requirements page should show the ideal system,not generic suggestions

so my feedback is to put i7 7700k in recommended requirements

anyway,I would forget premiere pro,cause of the risks of lag and dropped frames

OT what's the best codec for editing?

If render won't broke my system because of temperatures,I'm OK(I'm quite sure I won't edit more than 1:30 hour video)

I wanted timeline realtime performance(good framerate with effects in full)

You won't break your system when running Premiere Pro. It's just that you have completely different criteria than what most of us have when it comes to speed and performance. Without knowing your exporting style, you may be willing to wait hours for rendering and export of even a 20-minute clip to finish while most of us want the job to be finished as quickly as possible (possibly because some of us have deadlines to meet).

I see that you are looking for smoothness in the timeline. In this case, depending on how many effects are applied, you may experience a few dropped frames during scrubbing (playback) whereas those of us who have beefier CPUs and GPUs can handle a lot more effects without dropping frames. And what's more, not all of the effects that you're currently using are GPU accelerated; in fact, some of those effects rely heavily or entirely on the CPU for renders. The fact that my own workflow is for the most part moderately to barely GPU accelerated made me replace the i5-6500 in my mini-ITX bread box PC with an i7-7700 yesterday.

I also play games on pc

I'll edit 1080p60 videos with effects form AE(rendered,dynamic link framerate sucks),audition and psds

i expected yes or no

in other forums I didn't get a definitive answer

Sorry that many of us had derailed this subject a bit, but my really definitive answer is that it will run OK for 1080p media although it might take a bit longer to render than PCs with more powerful CPUs. The question then becomes "How long will I have to wait for the rendering and exporting of Full HD (1080p) to finish given my PC's hardware specs?" or "How long will my PC take to render and export Full HD content?" instead of "Will my PC work OK for Full HD?".

i know,but SSD prices in my country are higher

I'll take an UV400 ssd,it' not an high end ssd,but for videos and cache is enough

I don't use that PC only for editing

I ask if Premiere can run smooothly with that

I won't buy a CPU only for premiere

What happens if I have a too powerful gpu?nothing,simply premiere doesn't fully use it ,and I can edit with for example a game running

yes,I use that also for AE(There are not alternative as good in effects),Audition(It works perfectly)and PS(It also works perfectly)

With that statement about not buying a more expensive CPU just for Premiere, you have a valid point. I just wished that you did not waste even more money than you should have (for example, by buying a heavily factory overclocked version of the GTX 1060 instead of a reference-clocked version of the same, if you were going to stick with the i5-6500 CPU).
