Video Hardware

While I understand a mini PC doesn't usually have great hardware capabilities like a regular sized tower, is there one that would be good enough to use Premiere Pro 2020 (w/ at least 16 GB of RAM) for less than $1,200? Would the HP ProDesk 600 G4 Business Mini Desktop (Intel Hexa-Core i5-8600T, 16GB DDR4, 256 GB PCIe SSD) be suffice?*I have an external 500GB SSD. 

I have the following configuration: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6Ghz - 4.4GHZ16 GB 3000 MHz RAM6GB GDDR6 RTX 2060512 GB NVME SSD SYSTEM DRIVE4TB 5400RPM HDD STORAGE I am using this as after effects machine. I store my projects on HDD and my software and windows are on SSD. I currently work from HDD. The disk cache is located on the system SSD. Now please tell me if I should make a partition from the system SSD and manually copy projects from HDD to improve performance. Would it make any noticeable difference in workflow speed and render time? Or should I try something else? I will have to work with what I have and cannot buy/change any more pieces of hardware. Please guide.

Hello all.Total noob here with a little Lightroom and Premiere experience. I am choosing parts for a new PC and have some quesitons about optimal storage arrangements. B550 motherboard, with a 5900x (when I can get one) and either a 3070 or 3080.I understand the OS and software should be installed on an M.2 drive, and then maybe I can use large HDDs for archiving old projects, but what is the fastest and most efficient set up for the rest of the process?Do I need to have separate project and scratch discs? Should I use the second M.2 mobo slot for one of these? What should an SSD be used for? Could you also please recommend specific sizes for all of these?I will be using the computer for: Maya, Substance, ZBrush, Nuke / Modo / Mari, Houdini, Redshift etc, and Adobe Creative Suite (mostly Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere).Thank you 🙂Chris

I use premiere pro for contant production on a semi-regular basis. Some of my bigger projects take a while to actually render and/or exhibit bad timeline performance due to the lack of hardware acceleration. My question is, when is hardware acceleration not going to be restricted to very specific circumstances. That is, unless I'm doing something wrong, but a lot of my research point me to the fact that dedicated cards can't do hardware encoding, because reasons

Recurrentemente se ha hablado en el foro de cual monitor era más recomendable para el procesado de las fotos, pero ahora ya hace un tiempo de la última vez que se habló sobre ello. Animo a los que más se conozcan este tema que nos digan que monitor es el más recomendable a día de hoy.Cuando realmente tomo una decisión, quiero saber cuál es la diferencia entre sRGB, Adobe RGB y DCI-P3 en el monitor?

Hi! I know there is a lot of threads with a similar question but I would appreciate if someone is kind enough to suggest the best setup for my specific situation. I am using mostly Photoshop and After Effects and a little bit of Illustrator. I have 3 disks, a 250GB SSD, 500 GB NVME and a 1TB HDD (+ external hard drives for backup) Correct me if I am wrong but I would build my machine like this:250GB SSD for Windows + Adobe + Office500GB NVME for the projects I am currently working on + scratch disk1 TB HDD for the projects I need quick access, but not currently working on them I find the size of them appropriate for my needs. I am just wondering if its better to put Software and current project on NVME and then use the SSD as the scratch disk or is my original idea the right way to go? Thanks,Matej

I got an Nvidia P4000 last spring, and have had trouble with it ever since. Half the time my PC reboots, it doesn't detect the card. It got so bad that I eventually took it out altogether and ran an older K4200 with my Windows 7 system which always ran flawlessly.So, now I just built a new Windows 10 system. Intel i9 8 core CPU, 64 gigs memory, booting from an M.2 card (which I didn't even know existed before building this thing). Just blows my 9-year-old Win7 system away. But I still can't use the P4000! Windows would not boot with the card installed with Nvidia drivers without going through a repair sequence. Eventually, the system just quit seeing the card at all. Also, I really ought to mention that the P4000 not once outputted any video on the new machine.The good news is that PNY will replace the card, after many, MANY attempts at tweaking & twiddling and resintalling Windows and resintalling drivers, moving cards around, updating Windows, BIOS, firmware...snooze....So,

When I try to render footage from my PC I am unable to use hardware encoding.  The encoding menu looks like this in the export media menu:This has been a persistent issue on this computer.  I tried reinstalling adobe, installing older versions of adobe, and installing older graphics drivers, and last but not least completely wiping the computer and reinstalling windows.  So far nothing has re-enabled hardware encoding.  This issue does not appear present in Adobe Media Encoder CC 2019:My configuration:Windows 10 Pro build 1809Nvidia graphics driver 417.35ASUS X99-E-10GIntel i7-6950xEVGA GTX 1080Ti64GB RAMI'm really not sure what's going on here.  I'm running a perfect clean install with just the system's necessary drivers, google chrome, and adobe installed.  When I render with software encoding, whatever that means, it is slow and unstable, and I get rendered files that are full of artifacts.  Using software encoding Premiere will frequently crash an

Hello,I am wondering if it is time for an upgrade to my system. I have been experiencing stuttering and lag on the preview while trimming clips, I have to Render In to Out in order to watch the the timeline video in real time. The peak of problems occurred trying to render a transitions heavy video (a template from Motion Array) for final output. I'm not looking for a miracle computer, just looking for smooth playback, final rendering time that's reasonable and no lag.Here are the computer specs. Essentially it is a pre-built HP with a NVIDIA GPU and has been going strong since 2012: OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 ProSystem Model HP Z420 WorkstationProcessor Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1620 0 @ 3.60GHz, 3601 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 24.0 GBNVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 (driver version 397.93)Adobe Premiere Pro CC 12.11And here is a screenshot of what happens when I export a plain cut of media: 25 seconds of 4K footage to standard 1080P YouTube format. Th

I have just updated to 14.6 from 14.3 and was exporting some recent projects to confirm everything was working OK but I noticed the 14.6 version is slower by about 30% than 14.3 even though it is meant to have performance upgrades.My setup is an i9 9900k, GTX 1080ti, 32GB ram and 1TB m2 drives for both OS and caching drive, the OS is Win 10 Version 1909. Nothing else has changed other than the update. All the footage I use is H.264 and I export to the Youtube H.254 1080 profile.The main difference is that 14.6 is only using about 20% of the CPU cores when exporting whereas 14.3 used 95% of the CPU cores. The GPU usage is more consistent with 14.6 at about 60% were 14.3 was varying from 20% to 90%.I have gone back to 14.3 because of the lack of CPU usage just making the whole export process slower than before.My question is:  Is 14.6 optimized more towards the newer 10th gen CPU's and the RTX 3080 as I'm looking at upgrading to those soon but if Premier is going to be slower w

I've seen posts about how to optimize if I have 3 drives.SSD#1: OS and softwareSSD#2: Project and source mediaSSD#3: Media CCache and Scratch If I only have 2 hard drives however, what's the optimization?  OS and software on one and project and media on the second?

This is my current machine. I've been reading through this article on storage optimization.I currently have an HDD and NVME. I am looking to buy an additional SSD. I currently have my OS and Creative Cloud apps on the NVME, and then I have my project files, cache, source media, scratch, exports and archive on the HDD.Should I move my project files to the NVME with the OS, and have the apps, cache, scratch, and source media loaded to the new SSD, and then exports and archive on the HDD? Or do I set this up another way for better results.My motherboard doesn't have a second NVME slot, so I'm stuck with one NVME slot for now (and I prefer getting a cheaper SSD anyway).Thanks!

Hi, I am new to video editing so am currently using an old computer with i7 cpu and 8gb ram so it is struggling. I have been looking at either upgrading my computer, buying a new windows computer or getting an old iMac. My budget is around £600. Any sggestions?

I am setting up a new computer to create 4k animation pieces (8-10 minutes long) using Character Animator, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Dynamic Link and Creative Cloud File sharing system. I read articles and also from Puget that 5900x is better for Premiere Pro and After Effects but I am concerned about it being stable with heavy use of Dynamic Link between all these programs. I create original animation in Character Animator and then use Dynamic Link to post in AE, PP and Au. I know that Adobe has worked with Intel to optimize software in the past, but it seems most are now recommending AMD cpus for more productivity. Still, I have only read about AMD cpu on Premiere Pro and AE standalone and not read about AMD cpus stability with Dynamic Link and other CC usage like Creative Cloud File sharing. Can anyone share any insight on this? Thank you!

My system doesn't feel as speedy as it should, I'm wondering where the bottle neck might be. I'm running:Processor - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7800X CPU @ 3.50GHzVideo Card - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 (27.21.14.5206)Memory - 64GB (4x16GB) 2133MHzMotherboard - Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.

MS-7A94OS and Software is in a 500GB SATA SSDProjects & Footage are on a 1 TB PCI Express M.2 SSDI recently ran my first Puget Bench in Premere and got a 555 I'm interested in the new RTX 3000 series GPUs but don't want to spend money on something if it's not my graphics card slowing this system down. I don't really have time for a clean windows re-install right now. And I don't overclock. I buy components and run them stock I don't have time or energy to dance with breakdowns just to gain a few seconds here and there. I have thought of upgrading to the i9-10920X

I am new to editing and am in the process of setting up my hardware. I need to keep my total spend to less than £1000.I will be using Premiere Pro.I have chosen an iMac "Core i5" 3.0GHz 21.5-Inch (Retina 4K, Mid 2017) Model No. A1418 Model Identifier:iMac18,2 with 16GB Ram and a 1TB HDD.It is in mint condition and I got it from a friend at a really good price of £400, which leaves me budget to upgrade.Three questions:1. The RAM is upgradeable to 64GB. Should I go for that, or will an upgrade to 32GB be enough?2. I am also thinking of upgrading the drive to a 2TB SSD. Will that be sufficient?3. Should I get an external drive too? If so, any pointers?

Hi,I'm looking to buy a new laptop to use with all the Creative Suite apps.I'm looking at the HP Spectre x360 with i7 processor and the GTX 1650 graphics card.Will that be sufficient to run the likes of Photoshop and Premier Pro?

My system is using a E5 2670 2.6GHz 8 core CPU, 64GB DDR3 , 500 GB SSD, Win 7 64 pro, it came with a Quadro 5000 someone suggested a GTX 1650 Super  with 4 GB of VRAM....... 

Hi, I have next config.CPU i5 7400 @ 3.00 GHzMainboard Asus Prime z270-pMemory CRUCIAL 32 GB 2133MHz (2*16)NVME 512gb for soft and OSHDD 1TB for storageGPU AMD RX 570 Pulse 4 Gb PC Used to work and sometimes for games, but now there is a need to use in Adobe Premiere. My graphics card RX 570 does not give an increase in performance, what with it, what without it, the result is one, even fullhd video playback slows down. That's why I want to replace it with a version from nvidia. Tell me which graphics card is best for me? 1660ti or 3070? What is the difference in performance between them in my configuration? Does it even make sense to take the 3070 for my configuration? Won't my CPU be a bottleneck for this? Or should I even sell this PC and buy a mac mini m1?)Target, want to do fullhd/4k video editing without lags and friezes

I’m looking for a laptop spec suitable to run Premiere Elements 2021. As a given, CPU - i7 10750H, RAM - 16GB, HDD - 512GB (SSD). But I’m not sure when it comes the Graphics / GPU? One m/c I’m looking at has a GeForce RTX 2060 6GB, which is on the compatible list for Prem Pro, but not for Essentails. Another option is the GeForce GTX 1660TI 6GB, again on the list for Pro but not Essentials. I’ve also seen commentary to the effect that Elements does not utilise GPU capability? But there are Graphics Cards included in the System Requirements detailed for Elements. (but not any that seem to included in a mid price laptop config) All comments, views, suggestions and input most welcome. [edited by moderator]    

Hello there, I'm trying the Premiere CC 2019 but at the start shows the issue "Adobe premiere could not find any capable video play modules". I have a Nvidia GTX 1050ti in a desktop pc. I google it and found that the file GPUSniffer.exe is the one who detects the GPU to adobe programs, in this case, Premiere. But when i started the GPUSniffer showed me this: GPUSniffer testing 254Unrecoverable GPU Failure detectedFull Test test failed, trying No MetalAt this moment, I cant open the Premiere App because of the "video play modules". I aprreciate any help. Thanks.

Hello Everyone. I am a little confused, would you please help me. I am adding an extra Hard Drive for Project files and Disk Cache. In one of our forums I was told If I am Editing 4K Videos, I was told it's best to have NVME 4.0.  I did look online, and It looks like NVME 4.0 is like a Memory card rather than an actual SSD Drive.If I use Samsung SSD Instead of NVME 4.0, is it going to be much slower?Thank you very much.

I see a lot of threads talking about processor and video cards but not one talking about Motherboards and chipsets. Has anyone found any research on the best Motherboards for video editing and after affects.The motherboard is the highway between the RAM, CPU, HDD and Video card. Keen to get professional opinions from those who have investigated what Intel i9 compatible motherboards have the best architecture for video editing.Specs of this PC will bei9 processor2 x M.2 SSD drives. One for OS (C:) one for Program installs (P:)Nvidia GTX video card around the AUD $300 to $500 mark. Possibly the GTX1650 - advice on this also64gig RAM CheersDan
