chrisw44157881 wrote aw!, too bad i saw this thread too late. the 7700k is actually the fastest processor for warp stabilizer and its much cheaper. warp stabilizer uses mostly 4 cores and higher ghz. its programmed kinda of backwards. since warp stabilization is your primary goal and you don't have many effects, you could have saved a lot of money and rendered products faster. in warp stabilize, the i7 7700K is about 30-40% faster than the 6-10 core CPUs! https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Premiere-Pro-2017-Intel-Core-i7-7700K-i5-7600K- Performance-884/#WarpStabilize… That's an awesome resource! Thanks so much for that info. Fascinating that warp stabilizer prefers less cores and higher ghz. So despite that fact that close to 200 short clips are stabilized per wedding and I deal with one new wedding per week, it's not me that's "usually" doing the heavy stabilizing. It's my assistant editors. They go through, stabilize, and then hand over the project with all the clips we wanna use fully edited in slow-mo and stabilized. Yes, I do end up re-stabilizing a handful of them, but I'm often tweaking the settings which doesn't fully re-analyze the clip. I mostly go over the videos, tweak them, sometimes re-edit large portions, fix audio issues, and re-do any multicam or montage that needs help. So I'm dealing with lots of stabilized clips, but not always doing the stabilization. I deal with lots of dissolves and lots of slow-mo and lots of multicam from stuff shot at 60p but edited at 24p so I see my CPU numbers shoot up to the max a lot at times but the actual analyzing I don't do "as much" as I used to. Although we don't need to render anything usually, I do export quite a bit so the extra cores should help there. Sigh. I'm not gonna lie that it stinks to have read that article. I mean, that's great info for sure! Just funny that it's less than 12 hours after I bought the 5960x. I'll have my tech guy overclock the 5960x so maybe that'll help right?
