Setup

CPU - Lenovo ThinkCentre M900

Processor - Intel Core i5 6600 @ 3.30GHZ 3.31GHZ

Installed RAM - 16.0GB

Installed Internal SSD - Samsung SSD 850 Evo 500GB - Drive Transfer Rate 600 MBps (external)

External Hard Drive - WD Mypassport Ultra 1TB (USB3.0) - Interface Transfer Rate 5.0 Gbps (USB 3.0)

GPU - Geforce NVIDIA GTX 1060

I'm getting lagging while trying to play 4k video inside of Adobe Premiere Pro CC no color editing, effects, or anything. 1080p video usually works fine though.

I don't have the money to upgrade my setup and therefore is if it because my setup is lagging in power should I just shoot everyting in 1080p?

"It depends ... " ... are you shooting long-GOP? H.264 files (or even perhaps mov files) from a DSLR, drone, or mirror-less camera? If so, to get decent playback in Prpro with most rigs (even more powerful than yours) you would need to ingest your media with the PrPro Media Browser with Ingestion turned on, and that set to create proxies using one of the included Cineform proxy presets. Then in the Program monitor, click the + icon on the far right, and drag the Proxy toggle icon to your control block. In use, if you click it and it's blue, you're seeing the proxies. Click it and it's grey, you're seeing original media.

Then you can shoot 4k and still edit decently.

Is that transfer rate the one published by the manufacturer, or is it one you've got from a testing by one of the apps that monitor and log performance on your computer?

Figured it out with your instructions actually, my files seem to be playing without lag now! Haven't tried any color editing or effects yet but thank you so much for your help!

Just glad to help people get their projects moving. Several of the others on here were incredibly important in getting my early work going, and I still learn a ton on this forum.

I'm shooting MOV files from Panasonic GH4 and Mavic Drone. The transfer rate is from CNET. Could you please give me a step by step on how to setup up Premiere Pro to ingest media with the PrPro media Browser with ingestion turned on? Thank you!

They have tutorials on this ... click on the "Help" in the PrPro menu, and two options take you to PrPro's help system. The second is to a page with a number of tutorials, the first is to the base help site for articles and tutorials.

This is the 'base' help page, and when you click through the list of things on the left, as I clicked on the Techniques line, this group of options came up ... note the first one is in answer to your question:

Clicking that line got a short explanation, with a link to this page for a longer explanation:
