It has double the GPU cores, double the hardware video encoders and ProRes encoder/decoders, and you get 32GB of unified memory. Unified memory means any memory not needed as RAM can be used as VRAM for the GPU. (The M1 Max also has double the memory bandwidth as the M1 Pro, but you probably won’t notice much difference with that.) With 1TB storage, it comes in at US$3499, right in the middle of your budget range.   I don’t know AMD PCs as well, but in raw performance with a powerful GPU, a good PC laptop should be competitive with or maybe superior to an M1 Max. But where you’ll probably see the difference is in how long you can do that on battery. Because of the performance-per-watt efficiency of the M1, you will probably be able to edit longer on battery on the M1

I made the video below to help clear up some color correction issues when using Premiere Pro. Is Premiere Pro really that bad when compared to other NLE?  Watch the video below to find out. 

After doing research on what the best Macbook Pro is for Premiere Pro in quite a few pages this one came up: Model: MacBook Pro 16-inch 2019 (MVVK2B/A)Processor: 2.30 GHz Intel Core i9 9th GenMemory: 16GB or 32GBGraphics: AMD Radeon pro 5500M 4GB I am surprised I don't see the AMD Radeon pro 5500M 4GB graphics as supported on your website, is this correct? I am very confused as to why this graphic card would be unsupported when just over a year ago it was recommended as one of the best for video editing. I have encountered many issues with rendering taking days for some projects with my current computer MacBook Pro - Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015 8GB RAM and Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB. This graphics card comes up as recommended in Adobe website so once I'm again I'm confused why an hour long project would take me 5 days straight of rendering and exporting?!?! And this with a "recomended" graphic card. I am looking into getting a new Mac so wa

I am torn between buying an older i7 (3rd gen) with the intel 4000 graphics card, or buying an i5 (4th gen) with a basic Intel Iris graphics card. I am editing on a 1080p monitor, and doing some work with 4k footage... Both systems have 16gb ram, and similar specs all around. The multi-core performance on the i7 is twice as fast as the i5, even though it is 1 generation older.For editing in premiere is it more important to have more cores? Or is it ideal to sacrifice half of the computing power for a better gpu?Thank you![Moderator note: moved to best forum.]

Hi. I need to get a new iMac asap so I can start using my Adobe software properly and decided I need the 27" imac (preferably 2020 model). I was going to wait for the new larger screen M1 iMacs to come out this year but I probably wont be able to afford it as I'm on a tight budget and need a decent graphics tablet as well (all for less than £2000). So I just wanted to know if the older iMacs with Intel chips will still be compatible with Adobe software for a good few more years to come, or should I get a new M1 model?.

Hi there! I recently upgraded my mobo and cpu from an Intel i7-7700k to an MSI Z690 pro mobo paired with intel i7-12700k processor.  This is leaps ahead of what I was using prior.  I even upgraded to water cooler, I have 32GB of RAM, and 24TB of internal storage.  Oh and I am using a Geforce 1080 FE from Nvidia.  The only things that changed were the cpu, mobo, and cooling.  Now when I am trying to playback just 3 clips on my timeline, the music will playback just fine but the screen remains black.  Ill pu the timeline cursor over the clip to see the still image above with the slider and it takes about 60 seconds for the clip to show what I am hovering over on the timeline.  Does anyone know why this would be.  Everything is pointing to the computer being able to not handle it.  I am also editing with 10bit footage from a sony a7siii.  I did that with my previous build and it did just fine. 

I'm ready to buy an upper-end MacPro for my every-6-year system upgrade, but have just heard today that the new M1 chipset in the November 2021 MacBook Pro may outperform the desktops. There are many compelling reasons I want the archetecture of a desktop; I work primarily with PPro and After Effects, and I'm plain old-fasioned "old school" (started my life as a CMX editor in the late 80's). Can anyone advise me based on your experiences with the current Apple products on the market as of the M1 chipsets? Thank you in advance!

can u please tell what should i choose (GTX 1650 OR GTX 1050 Ti) i'm more interseted in gaming thou!

Trying to build out powerhouse systems for our media team at work and I'm struggling to find a straight answer on whether or not to get the NVIDIA RTX 3090 card instead of the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000.....Drive to drive comparison the 3090 looks better, but it's not listed on the recommeded drives and honestly I just don't know enough about it to deep dive into it myself. We use all of the creative suite, but mostly PP, AE, and PS. Thanks in advance!

I have an extra computer built from leftover parts that now has Win10   I am going to take the boot drive out and put in a new drive, to do an upgrade to Win11 - which requires UEFI mode in Bios (the easy part) and a boot drive formatted as GPT (not MBR)   I found the instructions which seem clear... while waiting for my new drive, has anyone actually formatted a drive to GPT?   https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-format-disk-as-gpt-when-installing-windows/966fe76a-87a6-4a4a-9900-93fc0922db3b   This is for a new install of Windows 10   To convert your Drive to GPT: At the very start of the Installation Process, press Shift + F10, or Shift + Fn + F10 to open Command Prompt Run this command and hit Enter: diskpart Run this command and hit Enter: list disk (Make note of the disk number you want to convert and enter it into the next command - replace disknumber) Run this command and hit Enter: select disk disknumber Run this command and hit

Dear community, I opened similar thread almost two years ago (in April 2020). In the meantime my account has been deleted and I am being listed there as a "Gast" ("guest"). I have re-registered myself under a different name ("Marek5FB8") and I am still interested in the topic posted there. Since April 2020 ma daughter has studied Design at one of the universities and has been working on a hardware/software platform commonly used there.We need to reconsider now a purchase of a Windows based notebook in the next weeks, so I would be grateful for your support in selecting the reasonable setup. My daughter develops projects using InDesign, Ilustrator and Photoshop from Adobe (only these three applications) and in addition with "unreal engine" (from EpicGames). So far we have found the following requirements concerning CPU and GPU for these applications:1. InDesing does not support GPU - is it so?2. Illustrator supports GPU, the list of compatible cards supporting "new Window

Dear community, I am a new member of the community with - I admit - no experience with Adobe products. I am trying to find a budget notebook (for my daughter, who begings her Design study this semester) capable of running InDesign + Photoshop + Illustrator. My professional background is electronic / IT engineering, so I would be able to select an appropriate configuration, if - IF! - technical requirements were clear.To come to the point - I must say I am really confused with respect to the GPU choice.For these three software packages Adobe lists "compatible" graphics cards, but these lists seem to be - hm... - a bit outdated? I haven't found any "ultimate" GPU, which would serve all the three applications well. There are a lot of threads in this forum, where people complain about certain GPUs not working at all / correctly, although "compatible" and other report on (mostly newer) GPU models which do work with ID/IL/PS, although not listed as "tested". To keep my questio

Hello, I have a PC with W10 Pro and Intel i7 6th generation. I saw on the Adobe site that the latest supported processor is the 6th generation. Will the planned updates of Premiere, After Effects, and the Adobe suite in general in 2022 no longer be compatible with the processor? If anyone has any info on what Adobe has planned on the compatible hardware side? Thank you and happy new year!!

Hi! My name is Sumit Kumar...and I am planning to start a YouTube Channel, for which I need to edit my videos (of at most 1080p) in Premiere Pro...I have gone through the Minimum System Requirements. For the above mentioned purpose, I want to buy a laptop whose specifications I'm listing down below: RAM: 8GB DDR4 PROCESSOR: AMD Ryzen 5 Quad Core GRAPHICS: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Graphic Capacity: 3GB HDD Capacity: 1TB SSD Capacity: 128GB Can someone tell me whether these specifications are sufficient for editing my videos without facing lag issues..or should I go for higher options?  Link to the Laptop described above:  HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop    [moved to video hardware forum by mod]

Bonjour a tous,voila plusieurs jours qu'un message d'erreur apparait au lancement de Pr que ma Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 est un pilote vidéo non pris en charge, j'ai suivi tout le tuto pour trouver une solution, via le site nvidia directement mais impossible de retrouver des pilotes lié a la GTX 1050, j'ai essayer des programmes qui uptades tout les pilotes mais rien, nulle part, sa commence a me rendre fou d'autant plus que lasolution doit etre juste sous mon nez!Merci et bonne journee a vous!

1.) I edit on a MacBook Early 2015 with a 2.7 GHz Intel i5. H264 files sometimes play back choppy.In buying a new external hard drive, would any of these factors help with the choppy playback:A.) Thunderbolt 2?B.) 7200 rpm vs 5400 rpm?Or is the issue primarily with my GPU? Would the best solution be an external GPU or a new computer? 2.) When I import HLS H264 video, it's definitely choppy. Do newer computers play back HLS smoothly? Or is the only solution to convert in Shutter Encoder or Handbrake?

Looking at laptops for video editing.Does the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 no longer work for Premiere? I don't see it listed under Adobe's recommended graphics cards?

I've been thinking of upgrading my Mac Pro with another Pro Vega II GPU, for use with various 4K/8K video projects in Adobe CC. Mainly working with a lot of 10-bit 4:2:2 XF-AVC, Red Raw, Canon Cinema Raw Light, etc. A good mix of media codecs. Color grading mainly through Lumetri Color, but use various GPU-accelerated effects and plugins like NeatVideo.I've been researching the Infinity Fabric Link that comes with having 2 of the same MPX GPUs in the Mac Pro, but can't seem to find too much information on its usage. I see that it provides a far faster interconnect between the 2 GPUs, but I'd assume that an application has to be programmed to take advantage of IFL specifically, correct?Does anyone know if Adobe Premiere Pro treats 2x Pro Vega II GPUs with IFL as one GPU, similar to how it sees Crossfire on the Windows side? Or if it sees it as 2 separate GPUs, will it at least take advantage of IFL, or does it treat the 2 GPUs and just 2 separate GPUs connected via separate PCIe slots.A

Currently the value of video cards are a robbery. In my country you also have to add the cost of taxes (50% more expensive).Is it possible to build a good pc to edit without a video card?I ask this because apparently the m1 macbooks (I use windows) edit quite well in 4k without the need for a video card. I have a BMPCC4k camera.

Hey guys! I need to ask a question about GPUs for Premiere Pro. As you know the GPU market now is in a very bad state and prices are inflated ridiculously.I'm trying to buy a GPU now and my question is, how much GPU power do we really need for Premiere Pro? Is there a line where it comes to the point where buying a better GPU will make no difference in performance?And what is this line? As in, what GPU card specifically would someone need before they are wasting their money paying more for power that doesn't make any difference in performance.The list is long from GTX 1070 to crazy RTX 3090 Ti to quadro cards in the thousands. If I got something at the bottom of the Adobe recommend list and something at the top am I really going to notice any difference? Your advice and recommendations are appreciated. I hope my question makes sense. What's the sweet spot for the typical video editor? Thanks so much, Mark    

what's the best laptop with powerful video card for Premiere Pro What about MSI verses a MAC  I also work heavily in Photoshop

Hello i have just setup a new pcI have installed os and apps on 1tb nvme driveAnd i thought it could be enough for app , and cache all togetherAt the momenti i have a 6tb data hard disk where i put all my storage, adone project folder alsoIn my idea when i have to work at a project i would m ove the folder to the nvme till i finish then i put it back on the 6tb hard diskDo you think could be a good solution?I have 2 256 spare ssd drive, that i might use in case it is better to separate cahce disk from app diskO course i know that it is always been said that to separate all is better, but with these fast nvme disk ...is it still so important to separate?And if it is how much is the benefit?thanks
