Hello from Belgium ,

As I will be soon buying a new mac , i have an important question  :

As I am a heavy Adobe premiere Elements 2020 user what is important :

- CPU power  ( processor )or GPU ( grafic card ).

As I can not find any information in the preference panel of Premiere elements 2020 ( compared to Adobe Premiere ), I am looking forward to your reply.


Kind regards ,

Serge

Recent updates have impressive GPU assistance in Premiere Pro.  As Steve said, the GPU (Nvidia?) is not used by Premiere Elements. 

 

If you are doing 60 minute videos, it might matter.  For the typical short "home video" it does not.

Premiere Elements uses very little of your GPU's power. Put your money into a good processor (although a Mac will likely also include a pretty good graphics card too).

Thanks for your expert help.
In that case, which export ( best quality and file size ) setting is best : VBR 1 or VBR 2 ?

Kind regards,

Serge
