Hi!2 days ago I ordered the Dell poweredge M820 cluster a very cool server and has 4x CPU E5-4607 6 cores and 12 TH my work and only productivity with 32GB of DDR3 1600Mhz RAM.This processor is able to render on 4K and 8K videos and also video editing using adobe premiere pro new version?Can I make accelerator hardware using 4x CPU since it has no video card?Give me some advice.Thank you.

 Hi there, I'm about to buy a new laptop and i'm hesitating between 2 configuration.I plan to edit 4k video and do a little bit of After Effect.It's gonna be 4k 4:2:2 10 bits. 24P 60p 120pFrom a Sony A7SIII The first Configi7 10875H 8 cores32gbSSD 1 ToRTX 2060 6 Go Or i910885H 8 cores64gbSSD 2 ToRTX 2060 6 Go I really don't want any lags.Is the first configuration enough acording to you?Or should i go with the second one to be safe? Many thanks to all and sorry for my english  Alex

Is the HP Pavilion Gaming 15.6-inch FHD Gaming Laptop (Ryzen 5-3550H/8GB/1TB HDD/Windows 10/NVIDIA GTX 1650 enough for Adobe Premiere Pro. Can it run smoothly?

Hii, I'm thinking about buying my first laptop for after effects. My budget is around €1000. I found already a few ones but I'm open for suggestions since I don't know anything about this.  -Macbook Pro 15inch Retina, Intel Core I7 2.5Ghz, 16Gb Ram, Iris Pro 1536 Graphics, 128Gb SSD but I have ICloud storage (I'm probably going too buy 2tb if I buy this macbook). If I buy this macbook, I'll probably buy a refurbished one because that fits better in my budget. But I just found out this one is from 2015 so that's why I'm not sure if I should buy it. -HP Pavilion 15-cs3722nd laptop, 15.6 Inch, Inter Core I7, 1.3Ghz (max 3.0Ghz), 16Gb Ram, 1Tb SSD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050. -HP Pavilion 15-ec1747nd Gaming Laptop, 15.6 Inch, Inter Core I7, 2.3Ghz (max 4Ghz), 16Gb Ram, 512Gb SSD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650. -ASUS VivoBook 15 K512JP-BQ281T laptop, 15.6 Inch, Inter Core I7, 1.3Ghz (max 3.9Ghz), 16Gb Ram, 512Gb SSD, 1Tb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce MX33

I have an old XPS 8300 that has about seen its day. Lightroom and Photoshop are slow and I can't upgrade it any more.I'm looking at a new Dell G5 i5-10400F processor with a  GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER 4GB GDDR6 graphics card, 16gb RAM and SSD.  Normally I'd get an i7, but my budget's tight.Is this config good enough for PS and LR? 

Hello!I am looking for lightweight (possibly 13-14''?) laptop recommendations to do video and photo editing in 2020/2021. I use Windows over Mac. I will be traveling a lot during long periods of time for my work, so I will like something still durable to handle editing averagely 5 to 10 minute videoes. Budget-wise, I prefer not to exceed $1500 - with a little wiggle room if really needed...It seems challenging to find, keeping in mind that Adobe Premiere's list of laptop requirements. I'm also curious of the Microsoft Surface Pro or Samsung Galaxy Book Flex laptops, if anyone has tried them.Please let me know, thank you!

Does anyone know if a iMac (21.5-inch) with these specifications would be enough to run the last version of Premiere Pro properly since it isn't clear on the Premiere Pro site?3.6GHz quad-core 8th-generation Intel Core i3 processor8GB DDR4 memoryRadeon Pro 555X with 2GB of GDDR5 memory256GB SSD storage  

Hey gurus,my system from 2015 is: * Win10 64Bit* Intel i7 6700K (8 core, 4 Ghz) - 6. Generation* NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB* 32 GB RAM* ASUS MB Z170-A Chipset* Samsung SSD 850 Pro 1 TB (used as C:, scratch and working files - hard discs just for offline storage. I am working with 4K material and use loads of effects, plugins (denoiser) etc. . Would I see a big difference adding a second GPU, more fast SSDs and maybe more RAM? Or should I re-start from scratch? Thanks for your time! J

if you had the choice which GPU, a quadpro k2000 or quadpro 5000 would be better for AE / Premiere ??have the option between the two  GPU;s with a refurbished dell, 8 core, 2.6, 64 gig system that I'm buying

I need to replace my laptop (destroyed by coffee) asap and need one that will work really well with Photoshop and Illustrator.   Would prefer solid state, and 16Gb I think.    I'm in Scotland - can anyone suggest what would be best or what they find good.  Many thanks.Kate

Need advice on what's the absolute best laptop I can get for heavy rendering on the road.  Something powerful and light that I can run operates Adobe premiere and third part special effects like Boris. I'm looking at upgrading my mac to the brand new 16". I've had problems with mac and premiere in the past...plus no I want to use a Boris for special effects. I guess what I'm asking ois would you recommend the brand new 16" 64GB ram maxed out. It's very expensive and I would like to get several years out of this investmentHere are the specs of the MacBook Pro 16" I'm looking at:2.4GHz 8-core 9th-generation Intel Core i9 processor, Turbo Boost up to 5.0GHz64GB 2666MHz DDR4 memoryAMD Radeon Pro 5600M with 8GB of HBM2 memory  

I want to purchase a Dell G7 laptop, but I read somewhere gaming laptops may not be the best for After Effects (or other programs in Adobe CC). I wanted to check here before I made the purchase. I mostly use AE to prepare audio visualizers for my music from templates. I'm also interested in Premier to edit YouTube videos. Can anyone advise?Edited to add specs:Processor: 9th Generation Intel Core i7-9750H (12MB Cache, up to 4.5 GHz, 6 cores)Graphics Card: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1660 Ti 6GB GDDR6Memory: 16GB, 2x8GB, DDR4, 2666MHzHard Drive: 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive (Boot) + 1TB 5400 rpm 2.5" SATA Hard Drive (Storage)

I have a mid 2011 27-inch iMac. It has a 2.7GHz Intell Core i5 Processor. It has only 4GB of ram but is upgradeable to 32GB. Will I need a new Mac or can I get away with upgrading the Ram and using this one to edit with Premiere Pro?

Hi , as the title says , i am not expert in building a PC .i just searched for the best PC build based on my needs + budget . and i will put my list and some comments .my main usage it Video Editing and Rendering (not interested that much in gaming but you can consider it) Adobe collection mainly and some other software .i am not a type of people who likes to change/upgrade PC/Machines from time to time - as long as it meets my needs-my budget is 1400$ (including shipping to my country so the below list fits with me if you have any changes on it please consider it)here is my suggested list , feel free to change it based on my needs please .PCPartPicker Part ListType Item   CPUAMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processorprefer AMD RyzenMotherboardMSI MPG X570 GAMING PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboardi am not a big fan of using wifi on PC so i can save money on non-WIFI motherboard . need stable one with less common problems also i read some common problems on selected one above but not sure is

Looking to get a PC just to speed up rendering in AE.please advise best specs for whats available on the market now...  

I'm planning to building PC with this configuration CPU -AMD ryzen 5 5600x, GPU -AMD RX6800 (16gb) and 128 gb RAM is this configuration is gud for 8k video editing and exporting ? Plz guide me.

Remember my mini-ITX PC? Well, it turned out that I will be keeping the box and some of its components. The CPU definitely needed upgrading, especially since it was nearing four years old (with the H170 chipset dating back five years now). It has had only beta BIOSes issued for it since the Spectre/Meltdown scare. As a result of all that, I pulled the trigger on the CPU platform update/upgrade. Parts that I purchased new:AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core/16-Thread CPU with stock Wraith Prism RGB CoolerGigabyte B550I Aorus Pro AX mini-ITX Motherboard Parts being carried over from its existing innards (at least until I can afford a major GPU upgrade):Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 Super GPU32 GB (2 x 16 GB) G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3200 CL16 RAMTwo 500 GB Samsung 850 EVO SATA SSDsFractal Design Core 500 mini-ITX SFF CaseCorsair RM550x PSU The reason why I did this is because I am now considering a downsizing of my main PC for video editing and photo editing. This is why I dedcided to

I'm planning on buying a laptop for work with Photoshop, After Effects (and possibly Premiere).  I'd like to keep the budget around $1500.  I've looked at some of the gaming laptops, but are they overkill?  is there a slim, professional laptop with the horsepower to do what I want to do at this price point?Preferences:16+ GB ramCore i7Nvidia 1060 graphics (or close to it)HDD+SSD

I’m currently on the look for a new laptop to rely on entirely for my design work. Unfortunately, MacBook Pro isn’t a feasible option for me in the meantime, so I’m looking for a Windows laptop than can run the latest versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, XD, Dimension, and also (but less importantly) After Effects as I’m still planning to learn it. I really care to have all features like 3D active in Photoshop, and I’m also not sure whether Dimension requires an even more power GPU.I found a decent option within my budget from HP with an i7-8565U chip, 16GB of RAM, and 4GB Nvidia MX250. My only concern is whether the MX250 will be able to efficiently run the programs I previously mentioned or will it fail the job. I totally understand this is an entry-level mobile GPU and in all cases it won’t deliver the best results compared to a more advanced one like GTX 1050 for example, but if it can handle most tasks in a reasonable speed with minimum freezing (and also without heating

I'm really hoping someone can help. Premiere was running like a champ, and now, all of a sudden, exports are taking much, much longer. What previously took 5-8 minutes is now taking > 1 hour.  My specs: CPU Ryzen 9 3900XRAM 64 gbGPU GeForce RTX 20602 SSD drives. The weird thing is when it's encoding, the CPU never rises past 10% utilization and the GPU never rises above ~5% or so. I'm encording using h.264.  I've changed every setting I could think of. Software instead of hardware encoding. Switched from performance to memory. I've tried using the media encoder instead of PP, and nothing I do affects this bottleneck. And again, this is a recent phenomenon. When I first started using PP on this machine this summer, it was tearing through encodes. Now it's crawling. Thank you in advance.   

Long time ago on this forum, there was a list of computers that were compatible with the Mercury Playback engine for PP. I've been useing an old Toshiba that has "Known Issues" but that's all I have. Any suggestions for a newer computer for PP? I only use Premier.Thanks,Art

I currently have the Alienware 17 R5i7 8750H 6 coresNvidia 1070 (also has a Internal GPU as well)32 DDR4 Ram1TB SSD With this I have trouble editing the New Sony A7SIII 4k 4:2:2 10bit GOP Long Codecs (S & HS).  It is too glitchy and not worth trying.  Even with proxies it has issues.  Prior to the update my specs were fine for all other 4K files even the 4K 4:2:2 10bit 120fps from Z-cam.  The Prores RAW from Atomos Ninja V I can now edit after updating and tweaking my nVidia settings but start to get problems when playing more than 2 tracks with RAW clips simultaneously.  But still not able to edit the A7SIII files at all. My question is what specs should I be looking for to crush through these files with this new update that is more resource hungry.  I dont want to spend more money than I have to and buy something that I don't need. Would a i7 10th gen with RTX 2070 be fine or should I go up to i9? Also with the new update to PP it

My current laptop bought in 2105 Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro simply can't handle Premiere Pro 2020. I get an unsupported video message and it just glitches so bad. What do people recommend for the best laptops on the market now and what spec should I be looking for?   

I've just gotten off a support chat and they informed me that my poor GPU performance in Premiere 2020 is due to the fact my card is not supported. I have the AORUS 1080ti Waterforce. I was then told that the GeForce GTX 1080ti IS supported.... I'm very confused how those are different.  Need some help here. 100% CPU load with 2% GPU utilization. 

I'm shopping for a Desktop PC primarily for photographic editing, but I anticipate doing video editing/production. So far I'm considering the following systems:(Lenovo ThinkCentre M920t - tower - Core i7 8700 3.2 GHz - 16 GB - SSD 512 GB).https://www.cdw.com/search/Computers/Workstations/?w=C1 Lenovo ThinkStation P330 (2nd Gen) - tower - Core i7 9700K 3.6 GHz - 16 GBPasted from <https://www.cdw.com/search/Computers/Workstations/?w=C1 I suspect that the graphic cards in both systems are not up to the task, but I would appreciate any advice conerning these PC's performance and especially what kid of graphics card I should specify at time of system purchase.
