Most of the times this free tool is comparable to NV by resulting quality, and always faster. As to upscaling noise, it's wiser to denoise in original size, faster and requires less filter strength ... View more

For such type conversions (50fps to 25, or 60 to 30) I'd use option "interpret footage", that guarantee smoothness (assuming your shutter speed was 180deg or so). But, you may try alternative approach: https://youtu.be/LDO9RIA_g2Y ... View more

I suggest to try this package of freeware tools, works every time for me:  Free Video Denoiser. How to reduce video noise, tutorial - YouTube But it's a stand-alone tool, not a plug-in. So, you denoise first, and then edit cleaned footage as usual. Denoiser output codecs include DNxHR, Cineform, Prores, h264 (software x264 and hw-accelerated NVEnc). It's pretty fast, should run in real-time or faster. ... View more

Before investing in any upgrade make sure that your CPU is actually 100 loaded during that 8 hour export. Because if it's 25% or so, it's not a hardware problem, but a poorly optinized sofware. In that case you may get 2x faster export after upgrade, but thar's all ... View more

btw, just changing the order of effects (optical flow before blur) may also help, worth to try I think ... View more

I can suggest to try 3rd party denoiser (freeware ), only drawback is that it's standalone, but it's fast (realtime on your system) and allows saving in intermediate codecs DNxHR/Cineform/Prores.

Except that power connector is needed for card in general, not just for its cooling fan. And, btw, integrated GPU in a PC often means that power supply inside is very basic. Means any mighty enough GPU may cause power overloading. ... View more

To balance your CPU performance you'd need something like GTX 1050 (used, <70$), or new 1650/1650 super. Latter is actually overkill for your current system, but is more future-proof.

Regarding GPU acceleration and lags, for many years (2014-2019 at least), there was(is?) a nasty bug, dunno if it was fixed, better check for yourself: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro/order-of-filters-effects-and-drop-in-cuda-rendering-speed-is-it-a-bug-or-a-feature/m-p/10510545?page=1#M217007   ...

It's 'Defish' plugin for AviSynth. To make life easier I included it in my broader, and automated, package of freeware tools, so even a complete novice can start using them right away. At the same time advanced users can easily modify it to their needs. I already shared it on YT and some forums, here is how-to video + download:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NilYO-9YvM If decide to use - look for Converter\Lens correction\Defish*, to get proper result you need to modify 'lens_parameters.txt', either by tweaking FOV or a,b,c coeffs. By default FOV is set to 90 degrees. Start with specs of your equipment, than use trial-and-error. ... View more

Before any transcoding I'd recommend to try rewrapping into .mov container, ffmpeg can do that: ffmpeg -hide_banner -y -i "input.avi" -c copy "output.mov" https://ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-mac ... View more

An [interim] solution to consider. If "lens correction" is the only performance problem you have, and since clips are rather short, you can use 3rd party tool to do correction, save in lossless codec like DNxHR/Prores/Cineform, and then continue in Premiere as usual. The tool is freeware, much faster (4min=>~15m or so for 1080/60p), but you need to know (or to pick by trial and error) the horizontal field of view for your camera.

Can't recommend specific models, just general specs that you can get for $1-1.5k: CPU: preferably 6c/12t or more,  (4/8 can be ok for light projects/tasks, but less future proof) GPU: GTX1650/1660/2060 RAM: 16GB/32GB Storage: 256 SSD + 1TB HDD, or 512+ SSD Display: 15.6" IPS 1920x1080 Take you time and do some research first, use google as I'm 😉 https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/buying-guides/the-best-laptop-for-video-editing https://freedom251.com/best-laptops-for-adobe-premiere-pro/   ...

Your CPU model (i3-2310m) suggests that you are working on a laptop, which means that you can't upgrade GPU separately, only by replacing the laptop as whole. There is micro chance, that you actually have a decent GPU unside, but it just need driver update. You can use "speccy" tool to get more info about your system: https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy ...

I believe the problem is lack of GPU-acceleration in your system. The 'Lens distortion' filter is extremely slow in SW mode, looks like it is not optimized for multicore CPUs at all. I've just did quick test on my rubbish 4core CPU of 2006 era, results for 15sec of 1080/60 footage + Lens distortion filter: with GPU acceleration ~ 1min no GPU accel (SW mode) ~ 25-30min (I did not wait till the end)  So, one way or another you need to get GPU acceleration. My (far from fresh) 1GB GTX 750 card get barely 20% load during export, so you don't need "the latest and greatest" for this. ... View more
