Video Hardware

Hi, I'm looking for general guidance on the best PC hardware configuration to optimize performance for premiere pro/after effects projects.  I'm interested where to invest in a new PC (RAM vs. CPU vs. GPU) to minimize render times, ensure quick responses when editing and adding effects (eg, from ramping slow motion, adding 3D text, etc... and more advanced effects). For example, I'm fortunate enough to consider purchasing a new PC with the following options and would like to know on which components it would be worth spending more (eg, what HW does Adobe optimize for to make a difference): CPU:  i5-13600k (14 cores) or i9-13900k (24 cores)GPU:  RTX 3060 Ti(8 GB) or RTX4080 (16 GB)RAM:  64GB or 128 GB Any specific recommendations or links to articles would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

I looking to buy a Dell Inspiron 16 Plus to use with CC (mostly Premiere, Photoshop).I'm using it primarily to edit feature length (90 minute) projects with HD footage.Specs:OS: Windows 11 HomeVideo card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, 6 GB GDDRg, 60 WProcessor: 12th Gen.

Hi,I'm going through the pain of trying to upgrade my PC desktop / tower.I only export .mp4 H264 videos, using Media Encoder.What are the crietria I should look for in choosing the best graphics card, please? ... other than price - I need to stay under about £700 GBP.The main issue is the H264 encoding - I learned that some cards simply don't do that but I don't even know what to look for, when assessing the bewildering array of hardware.Any help would be fabulous because this seems to be such a difficult questions to answer!

Quite simply I'm a student with a limited budget looking for a computer that I can use to run the Adobe Suite with a focus on Premiere Pro. The school has a lot of Mac integration so I'd like to stay on that operating system.

Is a AMD Ryzen 7 5874U processero with integrated AMD Radeon Ok for Premiere Pro or Photostop?

Hello,I'm trying to buy a new laptop to run Premiere Pro on.One that I'm looking at is the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3050 Ti, 4 GB GDDR6, 40 WI read that there are some cards that do not natively encode H264 videos. That's all I produce. Does anyone know whether this card will natively encode them or whether I'll have to rely on the CPU alone (which is what my current, slow, laptop does)?I can't find this information on the NVIDIA website.Thanks, friends.Johnny

I have just bought creative cloud all apps and i want to know which monitor will be good for these apps.can anyone help me with this? I am eying on 27 inches 1440p or 4k

Hi all,I have new project to be working on so I downloaded the latest version of adobe premiere pro. Turns out my video card is unsupported. I notice it gives me an option to continue anyways. "If you continue with known issues, you may experience performance degradation, instability, and data loss." Okay, so data loss? What does that actually mean? Will the software delete my video files on my hard drive I'll be working from? I just wanna understand what exactly the risks are because I cannot take any chances that the videos on my hardrive may be deleted. Thanks guys. My video card is Intel HD Graphics 5600. All my drivers are updated, my computer is old.

I'm writing this as a quick survey of Premiere users experiencing difficulties with editing on Mac Studios. Fundamentally, Premiere (now v23) runs on my Mac Studio M1 Max (32 cores, 32gb RAM) as it should but it just keeps hanging for many seconds, sometimes up to 15 seconds, to respond to play or for a change to have effect and that to be shown in the Program Monitor. So you make a change in Lumetri then wait for the visual change to show up or a speed change or even a simple cut. If it does keep hanging, you can prompt it with by pressing save. (Why would that be?) Mostly the footage is 4K 25fps from our Sony FX6, A7SIII, DJI Air 2S cameras (often long GOP). Yes, I know, this is hard media to process but it does not present an issue in Davinci Resolve. I also get repeated error messages around frame retrieval and frame substition recursion. Do others have the same issue with footage from the same cameras or other cameras? If you're working on an M1 mac and it runs fine

I'm configuring a laptop prior to purchase.  The laptop will be for fairly light HD Premiere and AE work. The graphics card options are Nvidia T600 or Nvidia T1200.  Both are on Adobe's list but the T1200 is £100 more. Any advice?    Thanks, Tim

Hey, I have to decide between two laptop configurations for some office and medium media work (Photoshop, some Premiere Pro editing etc.). They come with 32GB RAM and an Intel I7 1260P. I can chosse between two graphic options: - Intel XE Graphics G7 96EUs- NVIDIA GeForce MX550 I heard that some people have problems with the Intel XE in Premiere. Now I'd like to now, if some of you have tested the MX550? Can someone share some experiences? Which card would you suggest?Thanks! GreetingsMax

Hi, Does anyone know what the most affordable desktop is to run premier pro. I've been looking at laptops and desktop but I just can't be sure what will run premier pro without spending £1000s. I am based in the UK. Any advise or ideas would be appreciated. Cheers.

This driver version was just released on September 27. This driver completely broke Intel's QuickSync capability on the 11th- and 12th-Gen CPUs. I tested my i7-12700K system wih this IGPU driver (all other components remaining the same, including the discrete GeForce RTX 2060 super with its latest driver), and discovered that my system's PugetBench scores have plummeted severely. It failed to even score above 900 using the Standard preset, whereas with the previous Intel graphics driver version 31.0.101.3413 I regularly achieved scores above 1250 with the same Standard preset. I looked at the raw scores, and found that the playback scores for H.264 and HEVC plummeted with the 3430 driver as compared to those I achieved with the 3413 driver. With QuickSync effectively disabled with the 3430 driver, my scores are very much on a par with my old AMD Ryzen 9 5900X using the same hardware components. Again, this is a warning to Intel users.

Hello I'm looking to upgrade my ancient GTX1060-6GB. I'm currently looking at the 3070 / 3080 / 3090 / 4080 / 4090 and also the Quattro A2000 and Quattro A4000. I'm happy to spend more if there are good reasons to do so. I'm a professional film-maker and editor and about 20% of my income is from editing.I'm interested to know about Geforce vs Quattro, particuarly weighing up the VRAM vs CUDA count. The Geforce series tends to have more cores and the Quattro has more VRAM. I generally haven't been worried about reliability since my 1060 has never failed me, and the Studio Drivers seem to make the card more stable. I'm also considering waiting for the 4080 due to the performance gains, however, I'd like some steer on whether or not the 4080 would be overkill for my requirements.I generally edit up to 4k Prores, MXF and RED files, rarely projects longer than 10 minutes. I edit online files, not proxies. My computer spec is M2 drives, 64gb ram, 24 core 13900k. I use Adobe Premiere pro, Pho

This article is written with a translator and the grammar may be awkward.I recently saw the shortcomings of Intel Quick Sync.This means that you get worse image quality than software acceleration.Is this true? I want to know about it, and I want to know the proper advantages and disadvantages of Quick Sync. It simply speeds up the preview of the timeline or speeds up the renderingI want to know the whole truth, not the one that covers the shortcomings. Also, I'd like to know about this not the past but the latest in 2022.

Hi, My current macbook pro is out of date. thinking to get a new macbook but after looking up the spec between pro and air, find out there is not much diff except the nits of brightness. so I wonder if I can just buy the more affortable air vs. pro would be good to go or there is a must-have reason to go with pro? It will be mainly used for the video editings. I really need your professional opinions. Thank you!  

My desktop died and I built a completely new system. I bought 128 GB of memory however I only installed 64 at the moment. I am wondering if I should put the other 64 GB in or not. I kind of want to do it because I've never maxed out system memory before but at the same time I kind of want the money back if it's not going to make a difference. I will be using Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, and Illustrator. Here's my system specs; ASRock Z590 Extremei7 111700kf with 360mm AIO liquid coolerMain drive m.2 SSD 7000mb/s 1TBScratch drive just for Adobe m.2 SSD 3600mb/s 1TBAMD RX 480 8GB Don't knock my video card as I couldn't afford another one yet but I will get one soon. It's the only part in my system that is not brand new besides the power supply. They even get a video card next week.. I just want to know if I should keep the ram or not. By the way right now I'm only editing 1080p videos but I may edit 4K or even 6K in the future.
