Video Hardware

Hi, I'm new Premiere Pro and am its time to purchase a new computer. What is best? PC vs Mac? Desktop vs Laptop?  Thanks

Hello, I would like to buy a new Macbook Pro for my work. So I would like to know, whether I should waitfor the Macbook 16" with the M1X - CPU or should I buy a Macbook with an Intel i9 processor? I work with 4k material and use often after effects.So is there anyone with an recommendation? Do you work with an Macbook and have any experience with the M1 - Chip?Best Regards Max 

Hi! I'm buying a mid-budget laptop to edit 15 to 20 minute 4k videos. No special or complex video efects. Just a chroma key and some text, transitions... Most 15'' laptops that range from $1100 to $1300 come with the Intel Core i7-10750H . I'm particularly interested in a msi Intel Core i7-10750H , 16Gb Ram, 1tb ssd an Nvidia 1660 ti 4gb. But I'm afraid that 6 cores could eventually fall short. I read somewere that 8 cores would be the minimum for good performance.   What do you think? Should this be enough? I also saw an Asus that comes with a Ryzen 7 (this one is 8 CORE), 16Gb Ram, 1tb ssd an Nvidia 1660 ti 4gb. But I'm not impresses with a lot of reviews that complain about the fans loud noise. Thanks in advance for any help. Francis

In a recent Windows 10 update, I found this unchecked graphic settings section:   Settings -> System -> Display -> Graphics Settings       Is this required to assist PPro and AE work better for GPU hardward acceleration?    I pulled up a few blogs, and read that it might be a 'beta version' as they are still working out the kinks ?   Thanks for you thoughts on this one, Letty   my system Ryzen 7 , 32gb , gtx1050ti , bunch of SSDs, cuda and hardware accel enabled.

Hi,I want to buy a laptop that makes it possible to me to uses Premiere Pro fastly enough to produce my 4k videos for my online english classes youtube channel. My videos will have no complex special effects or anything like that. Just me speaking in front of a chroma key and some powerpoint videos. My budget is 1000 to 1300 euros. Aprox 1100 to 1400 dollars. Could someone be so kind to advise me on processor, Ram, graphics card? Thanks in advance, Francis   

Hi, My motherboard has only one M.2 socket, and I'm thinking of putting one more SSD on my desktop. So it would be one M.2 SSD and one SATA III SSD. One for the OS and one for handling Premiere's cache files (the media files, for the moment, would continue on the HDD until I have the money for getting a third SATA III SSD. My question is, which SSD would fit bedt for handling the OS and which for the cache files? The faster M.2 or the slower SATA III? My specs:Intel i7 4770kGeforce 1060 Ti32gb ram Thanks!

I understand After effects demand a lot. This is what I'm working withAMD A10 7870K  R7  3.9 https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/a10-7870k-radeon-r7-graphics-and-near-silent-thermal-solution16gb DDR3Asus Geforce GFX 1050 Ti https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/PH-GTX1050TI-4G/SSD Soon upgrading to NVME via bios flash. via https://forum.gigabyte.us/thread/8611/booting-ssd-pcie-adapter-f2a88xmIs there a way I can set After Effects for playback? I'm not trying to make 4k I'm not trying to render crazy stuff. Just edit, impose, and graphics track. latent with playblack and Cache, is there anything I can do? Kinda feels like I got a virus.

Hi, I have researched about my MacBook Pro 2012 and I can update my ram from 8 GB to 16GB I wanted to check the name of the RAM disk I use to change it over so I can order the components ready. I can only use one app at a time as previously mentioned on the forum before the computer needs at least 16GB to be able to run smoothly... can u help adobe in the information for the the  upgrade on the 8GB to change over to. 

Hi EveryoneHopefully someone can assist or I will post on the forum. I am sure you get asked this 100 times but I need help in determining if my work laptop is going to be able to run creative club, specifically photoshop and say illustrator/premier pro.Please look at my specs below and let me know if this is possible, even if it means having to install an older version of cc could this work?SPECS:Model: ASUS K56CAOperating System: Windows 8 ProCPU Type: Intel Core i5Screen: 15.6"Memory Size: 4GBHard Disk: 500GBGraphics Card: Intel HD Graphics 4000CPU Speed: i5-3317U 1.7GHzResolution: 1366 x 768[Moved from the non-technical Lounge Forum to the specific Program forum...

As the title says, I'm now looking for a PC for video editing. I want to buy a powerful enough machine so I won't have to upgrade again for a few years and be able to smoothly edit 4k footage. Most of the pre-made pcs I'm finding don't have more than 16gb ram so I'll need to upgrade to 32gb at least.My current old PC has a Geforce Gtx 1060 6gb graphics card that I bought 3 years ago. Is this card worth putting into a new PC? Does it have any value for re-sale?I'm looking on bestbuy.ca, amazon.ca and https://www.memoryexpress.com/How about this 1? Is the 500 w power supply a problem? I don't see the motherboard anywhere on the listing. Where could I find that?https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/asus-rog-strix-gl10cs-gaming-pc-iron-grey-intel-core-i7-9700k-1tb-ssd-16gb-ram-rtx-2060-win-10/14706836Here's an open box for the same price with 850w power supply and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8GB GDDR6 graphics card.https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/alienware-aurora-r9-gaming-pc-intel-c

Hello!I've been editing for years on a 2013 iMac with 32GB ram. It was a hand-me-down from another department at our company (because that's what they do!) It's always been temperamental, but now that I'm using it to work from home doing larger, more complicated projects than before, it's almost impossible to use. I do a lot of music work with sometimes 40-50 tracks of video playing on screen at once. Even with proxies, the footage hangs up and won't play smoothly which is a major problem when trying to cut to music.I've been told that we might finally be able to upgrade to a system better suited to our needs, but I'm supposed to make a recommendation for what to buy and honestly have no idea where to begin. Obviously, the recommended specs on the Adobe website are for projects that aren't quite as insane as the type of stuff I'm trying to do. Can anyone give me any advice? Thanks so much!

Hi everybodyCan premiere pro run well with the adreno 650 grafic processor?Thanks

Hi, I'm really new to video editing and not much of an IT expert. I was wondering if anybody could advise me regarding this. I've read the minimum specs on the adobe site and I think maybe my laptop falls below in a few areas. For example my graphics card just says AMD Radeon whereas the minimum seems to be a Radeon Pro. Will this mean that Premiere Pro won't work at all, or would it still work but not up to it's full potential?Also, and I'm sure I should know what this is, there is a minimum network storage connection - does this mean I need cloud storage? Thanks for any advice

Can someone suggest a CPU on a DDR4 forum?My desktop computer is used for regular home activities as well as amateur photo and video editing. I use Photoshop and Premiere Pro. I don’t play games. I use Windows 10.The Intel 8th Gen Core i5 8400 was suggested. Could someone please help me especially with choosing a CPU. It seems as if after Black Friday, there are no more i5 8400 CPU's available at a reasonable price.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if there is anyone here with a Quad-Core (i5 or i7) Surface Pro 7 here? The reason I'm asking is because I've been running some tests on Surface Pro 5 and Surface Pro 6 (just upgraded from 5 to 6) and the results were surprising: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24sZCntPzNM I ran some tests in AE and PR using the same files and the same CC version, and I'd like to have a comparison with Surface Pro 7 to see if I'd gain anything if I were to get Surface Pro 7 instead of 6. I can provide the files I used for anyone willing to help     All best, Marek

The problem is pretty simple, my GTX1060 is not used for export or playback. The export times from 4 minutes on a 4k 200mbs have gooing  up to 24minutes because the CPU does almost anything. The GTX is used between 10-18%, CPU 100% Cuda is activated for this and I didnt change anything at all. The only thing what happend during that month is an update to Premiere. So what do I need to get it running again?  I dont have any secondary GPU/iGPU

I have my OS and programs on an NVME. I will have another NVME one day for projects and assets.Right now I have my projects on a new SSD. I have my scrach/media cache on an old SSD but I'm afraid that SSD has issues so I'm thinking about trashing it and replacing it with a new one. I have 4 USB 3.1 ports. So I'm wondering, would be better performance to use a large 3.1 flash drive for scratch and cache so I don't use/wear out an SSD?Lastly, is it better to have the scratch/media on the fastest drive or the assets/projects on the fastest drive?

Can anyone point me to discussions on good physical editing tools that connect and are alternatives to a keyboard? I don't do a lot of complex editing. Just need a good scrubbing wheel and trim buttons.  I saw an article on Loupedeck CT but I'm looking to try to compare. thanks

Hi all,I wanted to increase the power of my computer by adding a Tesla K10 GPU to the gtx1080 that I already have.I wanted to know if this configuration would benefit me in editing and in rendering time?I do not find clear information about it ... sometimes I read that premiere pro can not use 2 gpu at the same time ... is that true?Regards, and thank you very much

Hi,Please can anyone suggest PC configuration to handle 4K (minimum 2 tracks on Screen) Video Editing?I can see following available for sale, is this good enough? 2x 6-Core Intel Xeon E5-2667 2.90 GHz Processors32 GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM1x 500GB SSD 2x 1TB HDD (RAID Configuration) XFX R7-260X AMD Graphics Card 2GB GDDR5  CPU 12 Cores. is this enough?How much RAM / Type and Speed is required?What should be the HDD / SSD Read & Write Speed for 4K?GPU Suggestion? I'm using Premiere Pro CS6, should I upgrade to CC? I'm looking for a minimum / budget configuration. Will appreciate any suggestions / advice.Thanks in advance.  

Hi guys, For example, my Cintiq Pro 16 covers 94% sRGB range, if I use it connected to a laptop (screen) that outputs only 57%, which range is being outputted on the screen? I am assuming the Cintiq Pro is as colour accurate as stated regardless of what is powering it, am I correct? Thanks in advance.

Hello.Need help.I can't work with .mov files hevc (h.265) 1080pPremiere CC 2019  open a files but not played. (video duration does't matter).mov hevc h.265 processes only Intel 6th Gen  Is that true?My CPU is i5 3th Gen.What to do, need to buy a processor or there are other ways (with software)What do you think?By the way, I use Windows 7/10 x64

Question ; will editing and rendering in premiere be substantially faster on a new fully speced M1 mac mini as opposed to my multicore 2013 trashcan pro?  Now with rosettaand in future with dedicated M1 sorry if this is a basic question but I've spent hours searching net and so many mixed messages.. I understand M1 premiere is just beta testing.  

Is there anyone using Mac Mini M1 for video editing?Can it handle 4K editing?Can anyone post some information, experience or may be benchmarks including Blackmagic Raw Speed Test?
