Video Hardware

I'm looking for some dumbed-down advice since I'm not super tech-savvy. I have owned a Lenovo Ideapad Z710 for several years now and mainly used it for photo editing. Now I want to get into video editing and am realizing this thing is useless. I have Adobe CC suite and I received an error when trying to install Premiere. It told me I don't have the right Graphics/driver. My laptop has an Intel Core i7 and Nvidia GEForce sticker, so I assumed that meant both were loaded. But in searching my system, I can only locate the Intel HD Graphics 4600. I will not be shooting in 4k, so I don't believe I need the most powerful. It is only for instructional YouTube videos. But I need to be able to add lots of media clips to edit.In doing some research, it seems the Intel i7 should be fine, but I could also go with i9. The other specs I've found which I think I need are:Windows 10 64 bit (which I have now)16GB memorySound card: ?4 or more processor coresStorage: at least 256 GB hard dirve/

I'm building a new PC and have 2 Tesla P4 cards at my disposal. Is this a good GPU for Premiere? Can I use both of them? What would be the best motherboard and CPU to pair with this card if I can iuse it?

I'm trying to put together the componets for a build that would be used for: All of the Adobe CC suite (specifically Premiere Pro and After Effects), Davinci Resolve (for color grading), and some Cinema4D work. In premiere pro we would need to be able to handle multiple video layers of 4K log and ProRes footage. This is the build I was researching, and I would love to hear any community thoughts on it... CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3950X Processor, 3.5GHz w/ 72MB CacheMotherboard: MSI MEG X570 UNIFY w/ DDR4-3200, 7.1 Audio, Gigabit LAN, 802.11ax, SLI / 3-Way CrossFireRAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16 (4x 16GB) w/ Vengeance Airflow RAM CoolerCooling: Artic Cooling Liquid Freezer II Series 120 All-In-One Water CPU CoolerPower: Seasonic Focus 750 Gold Semi-Modular Power Supply, 80+ Gold, 750WGraphics: EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Black GAMING 8GB PCI-E w/ HDMI, Triple DP, USB-CSSD for C Drive: Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 PCI-E x4 SSD, 1TBSSD f

I am building a computer and before picking the CPU I thought I would ask you all which of these two would best for me...I mostly use Photoshop and Audition with a little Lightroom but I would like to get into Premiere Pro.Both CPUs are AMD Ryzens:There is the Ryzen 5 3600 (3rd Gen)6 core 3.6 GHz (4,2 max boost)it has 12 threads.Or... the Ryzen 7 27008 core 32 GHz (4.1 max boost)it has 1y6 threadsAny advice or opinions would be most welcome. Thank you in advance.  

I need to edit 10 minutes long 4k videos, is this laptop able to do that?ASUS Gaming 15.6'' ROG Strix G G531GU, FHD 120Hz, Procesor Intel® Core™ i7-9750H (12M Cache, up to 4.50 GHz), 16GB DDR4, 512GB SSD, GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB

I'm about to purchase a new After Effects computer (with some Premiere editing as well) and just wanted to get your thoughts on my pick:https://www.dustin.se/product/5011159417/infinite-x-plus-9sf(you can switch language to English in the top right corner) I'll add 32 GB RAM more and an additional M.2 disk to it. Is it a good choice? 

Wanted to know what WINDOWS laptops people are using that run Adobe Creative Cloud apps really good. Below are some of the applications that would be used on it:PhotoshopIllustratorInDesignLightroomSketchupPremier ProAnimationsPOSSIBLY autocad Curious on the laptop model, hardware specs and your thoughts from using it. Price isn't a factor.

Hello all! I'll be working with a team of 6 editors (all in Adobe Premiere) and I'm trying to find a good shared storage server that is compatible with Premiere. All tips are very very welcome!!!!Thank you 

After 10 years I'm upgrading my PC - this will be my first self-built PC. In the past I've replaced hard drives, graphics cards, memory, OS and drivers on occasion, so I think I can handle the build. To plan this build, I used the following webpages and others:   https://community.adobe.com/https://www.logicalincrements.com/articles/videoeditinghttps://turbofuture.com/computers/Build-Photo-Editing-PC   Before ordering hardware and getting started, I'd like the community's input if anything obvious is missing, poorly matched, overkill, or incompatible to start with, with a willingness to upgrade in the future. Details below:   Goals and Use: Budget: Around $1000 or less Needs: Very upgradable to last several years, support for three monitors (none 4K at this point), 10bit monitor support would be nice but not a deal breaker. Use: small home based internet business Apps: Premiere Pro, Photoshop and LightRoom and Dreamweaver mostly, but also InDesign, Acrobat and other CC

With me working again now after my heart transplant earlier this year, I am getting back into the upgrade game. I am well set on my current GPUs, but now I want to update/upgrade my CPU platform on my main PC (which still has the i7-4790K from five years ago) by this Christmas. The reason for the update is that my main PC has been hiccuping when running programs, especially Premiere Pro. The 2020 (14.0) version has occasionally locked up on me with this current PC because some of its components do not meet Adobe's minimum requirements. I am thinking about either an AMD Ryzen 3000-series or an Intel i7 or i9-9xxx series. And I will be planning to purchase a new motherboard, new RAM and one new m.2 PCIe SSD with this upgrade. When that's done, I will move my GTX 1060 to this refreshed main PC and move the 1050 Ti to my mini-PC. My alternative plan is to simply mothball my current PC and reactivate my mini PC (which already has a 7th-Generation 4-core/8-thread Intel i7

Hi everyone, I have my new laptop Dell 7540 - Xeon 8/16 E-2286M - IGP 630 - Quadro RTX3000 6GB - 32GB DDR4 - SSD1To - Win10Pro - CC 2019 When I export 3min UHD 30P 4.2.0 8Bit 100MB  => NVenc H264 35MB CBRIt takes 3min.But not all my xeon are running (20%)my RTX 30%IGP 5%memory 70%SSD 0%as you can see on picture Have you an idea ? Or Premiere doesn't manage 8 cores correctly...ThanksSteph

I am building a new pc for $1000, but what to buy? Should I get intel or amd? What graphics Card. Need help of what to buy. Going to be using after effects and premiere. I want to order everything tomorrow.

Lenovo Flex 5 2-in-1 Laptop: Core i7-8550U2GB NVIDIA GeForce 940MX Graphics16GB DDR4 RAM1.0TB Hard Drive + 256GB SSD 8th Generation Intel Core i7-8550U Processor I just want to do light editing, but the playback is very bad and the programs will freeze at times.I dialed back all the settings for playback. Is there anything else I am doing wrong?

Having looked around the web for some assistance, there seems to be good reason for 3 SSD drives to run PP efficiently  (good resource from Puget Systems) 1 for O/S and programs, 1 for Media Cache & Scratch Drive, 1 for Project & Source Media, then a large HDD or RAID for archiving. All good. I now want to implement this on an HP Z600 workstation with 2x Xeon processors and 48Gb of RAM. It is for short 4K stock footage sequences (around 1min in length), so nothing too demanding. I already have 1x 1Tb SSD for the O/S and programs, and a large HDD for archiving. Could somebody give an informed opinion of how big the other 2 drive need to be? Min Size and Max Size, and a bit of an explanation if possible. Many thanks in anticipationWB 

Hi gang!I’ve been working on the 3D animation and Motion Graphics field for ages. Believe it or not, I’m still using my dual Dell 24” 1080p monitors from ten years ago. These are actually LCD and not even LED! lol. I think the monitors are 2408WFPb monitors.Anyway, the time has come for an upgrade. I want to get a set of 27”.I’ve ready many times the Adobe Suite doesn’t play nicely on 4K and everything is too small to see. As such, I am leaning towards a 1440p which is in between and allows me to see a full 1080p image onscreen with some additional space for the interface. However, I also don't want to buy a monitor with a resolution that will be obsolete in a year or two. So I'm torn between the two.Color is very important! Specifically to be able to see a full gamut with deep blacks and bright whites.I like Dell. For color, I’ve been told some of the best are the Dell Ultrasharps and the BenQ monitors. I know they should be IPS panels.Last but not least I guess the budget I’d like to

Anyone try out the brand new (late) 2019 Mac Pro with Premiere yet? Does it take advangage of the GFX cards and Afterburner card?

 I have a question if you don't mind. I am building a new PC and want 3 drives one for software and OS ,one for media and project files, and the third for scratch and cache. I also i well have a large hard drive to keep all my other stuff.where do i export my finished move to? which drive?

Hi, all.  I do some very intensive Premiere Pro projects day in and day out, so I just built up a powerful new 3970x system and have gotten some learnings so far that I thought I'd share.  My system: 3970x overlocked by 200MHz using AMD Master software; Gigabyte TRX40 Designare board; 128GB 14-14-14 3200MHz RAM; 4 NVME drives in RAID 0 for media files via Gibabyte Aorus M2 card; 3 separate NVME drives for project files, media cache, and software/OS; old 1080ti GPU; backup RAID 10 array on spinning drives.   My typical workload: 2 or 3 10-bit h264 150mbps VLOG streams in multicam, with LUTs applied across entire footage; 6 to 10 audio tracks; noise reduction on 3% - 20% of clips; ProDad Mercalli on 3% - 15% of footage; moderate use of other effects.  Footage comes in at 4K, and because some lenses are anamorphic, often end up being scaled/interpolate up to about 5K when desqueezed. Learning 1: Exports are extremely fast!  Wow! Learning 2

Hello 😄I'm a beginner and I work with Photo editing, Video editing, Graphic Designer and 3d (Animation, Modeling...) and web design.I want to buy monitor for Photo editing, Video editing for color correction + color grading. Also, for 3d.What brand to take from monitor for Photo editing, Video editing for color correction + color grading, 3d, web design?Finally, Do monitors LG, Samsung, Dell are good? Αnd what to look for in the specifications?

I have installed adobe premier pro CS5.5, but when i open new project vedio rendering and play back option is inactive, i cant change it to CUDA or OPEN GL option. My PC details as below.1. Intel coffee lake core i5 8600k 3.60-4.30GHz, 6core, 9Mb cache LGA1151 8th gen.2. A data 8gb ddr4 2400 bus desktop ram3. Intel 545s 128gb m.2 2280 sataiii ssd drive4. Dell s2214h 21.5 inch full hd ips borderless monitor with built in speaker (1xHDMI, 1xVGA) 5. Digital x 650va ups6. Gigabyte nVidia GeForce GT 1030 OC 2gb ddr5 graphics card7. Gigabyte b360 Aorus gaming 3 wifi 8th gen LGA 1151 socket mainboard8. Thermaltech w0423re litepower black 450w non moduler power supply When open new project, screenshot is like that: How to active the rendere of this option, should i change my hardware or not?

UPDATE: Looks like I made a mistake while moving the original post. The original question is in the second post.   Hi Arjen_van_der_Wal,   In my opinion, replacing the HDD with the SSD will surely help but that can be expensive as you stated in your post. I think you need expert advice from our hardware gurus so I am moving this post to the hardware community.   Thanks, Rameez

Hello,I would like to buy a new PC to work with Premiere and sometimes AE. The image quality of the material that I use usually does not exceed 1080p. I already did some research and settled for the following components: CPU:AMD Ryzen 7 3800XGPU:MSI GeForce RTX2070 Armor 8GBRAM:G.SKill TridentZ RGB 32GBHARD-DRIVES:1) Crucial MX500 500GB, SATA (CT500MX500SSD1)2) Crucial MX500 1TB, SATA (CT1000MX500SSD1) Can anybody give me some feedback? Is it ok? to little? to much? Did I miss something important?I really have no idea 🙂 Thanks in advance!Marius

I have had good playback on my 2013 PC system with 6 core and GTX 680 running Premiere Pro (14.0.0) but now it is choppy on fast forward. Using PP (13.1.5) there is no problem. It seems like the latest version does not like my GPU.
