Video Hardware

Hello, All!I am looking to build a platform that will allow me to do some 4k editing (specifically 4k 10-bit D-log). I am definitly not a pro and do not have expectations for production-level speed, but I also do not want to get frustrated waiting for Premiere to catch up, or waiting endlessly on renders. Here is the config that I came up with. If y'all see some glaring omissions, mistakes in the config or have suggestions on what could be done better/cheaper, then I would greatly appreciate it.The config for now looks as follows: MBCPUGPURAMNvMeOSNVMeProjectNVMeCache & ScratchCasePSUGIGABYTE X570 AORUS ULTRA291.00        AMD RYZEN 7 3700X 8-Core 3.6 GHz 329.99        GeForce RTX 2060 Super  399.00      32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200)   114.99     M.2 2280 500G PCIe 3.0  &nbsp

Hi,it's been a long time since I was in charge of a PC and so I seek for the community wisdom to help me find a right setting.For a video editing project I will be provided with a new PC, and I want to make sure to get the best out of the specs.Does somebody have experience with Multiboot Linux/Windows and using Premiere/DaVinci here?The inital idea was to partitionate the hard drive so in case I would habe to install Windows and set up a Multi Boot. So I basically I wanted to start with Linux Mint and in any case Mint + DaVinci could not fulfill all the needs have a Windows 10 Premiere option.Then I got following hints:1) Not to start with Linux, because Windows will mess up the boot-table etc.2) Not to formate the SSD (only the SATA) because it might effect the rfficiency and speed of the editing workSo now I am very uncertain what would be the best way to set up the PC. Would it be really bad to partionate the SDD? If Partioning is okay: Where to put Linux, Davinci, windows and the

I too have a major frame dropping proble, I just moved from Premier Pro C6 on older Windows 7 computer, to Premier Pro 2020 on a computer with the below specs. The same project file ran on my older computer without dropping frames, but has massive amount of dropped frames on my new and much more powerful computer. The media is 1080p, mostly png-seqence with only one video track. Task Manager indicates it's using 20% CPU and 10% RAM. Even with 1/4 playback resolution it drops frames. ASUS ROG Rampage VI Extreme Omega MotherboardIntel i9 9900X CPUCorsair Dominator (128 GB) 3200MHz  RAM(2) EVGA 1080ti FTW3 12 GB RAM each GPUIntel 760p 4TB M.2 (on-motherboard drive)Samsung 860 Pro SSD 4TBSamsung 860 Pro SSD 2TB (for cache)Samsung 860 Pro SSD 4TB

and, would i be able to additional RAM to bring the total to 64 GB?  Also, does one need Windows PRO 64bit or can Home 64bit be equally fine for the OS?  Ty   https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/productcompare/openCompare

What is pc recurrent need for work with properly in adobe premiere prolike RAM / Graphic card / minimum windows core?

Hi,I'm looking on the site wich Graphics cards Adobe Premiere pro Recommend.I see that they recommend many Nvidia GTX cards:NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 TiNVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 TiNVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 TiNVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 But they never recommend the SUPER versions of these cards. I want to buy the Geforce GTX 1660 SUPER. Do you think it's working on Premiere and AE? Thanks

  Just saw this pop up in my feed. Hope you find it useful.   Regards,Kevin

Bonjour à toutes et tous !J'ai un soucis avec les rendus de première pro et AME. Mon AMD RYZEN 7 3700X n'est pas très bien exploité en rendu. ( Min : 25%, Avg : 30%, Max : 48% ) Par contre, ma CG est à fond de cale. Et ça, peu importe les effets, les sources etc... Je précise qu'utiliser première pro ou AME ne change rien.Le screen de monitoring donne l'impression que je suis en jeu, mais non. C'est bien en rendu première pro.C'est bizarre. Parce que je sais que le boost GPU est important et est bénéfique aux performances de rendu, mais là, on a l'impression que le CPU est totalement dépasser et laisser à l'abandon pour le GPU ( RTX 2060 ). Comme si les rôles étaient inversés. Du coup, le rendu est plutôt lent pour un 8 cores / 16 threads... J'ai un autre pc, qui avait un intel i7-6850k au paravant, un 6 cores / 12 threads qui était charger à 80% grand minimum, souvent à 100%, et la carte graphique ( GTX 1080 ) à environs 30%.Ce qui me perturbe d'autant plus, c'est qu'Handbrake à

I started an intro thread, for non-IT-experts, on the basics of moving from spinning drives, to SSD or M.2 units. That thread is here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/Video-Hardware/Intro-for-non-experts-to-upgrading-from-spinning-hard-drive-to/m-p/10731673#M14140 A very interesting reply was posted, re: using separate SSD drives to handle scratch/temp files. I can see the logic in doing that, but a couple of questions arise, including, has anyone who has tried that approach ever done any actual speed comparison tests, when generating a large video file (such as, say 2 Gb or greater)? And, is that approach recommended, or discouraged? Please keep this simple. I really would rather NOT get into digressions re: RAID, or other accelerator options, or other software/hardware packages that can be added on. I don't work at that level, and I'm just trying to ask a basic, straightforward question, which I hopes merits a direct answer. If there are links to other good threads

I am in a little bit of a predicament.  I'm going to get a new computer but have no idea what I should go with.  I don't know if this is the right place to put this thread, and I'm sorry if it isn't.  I am a filmmaker and will soon be getting Premiere Pro and some of the other Adobe products from my school, and need a decent computer to be able to run the software.  My most used software would be Premiere, Lightroom, Photoshop, and After Effects once in a while.  I've left a link to a chart I made with 7 of the laptops that I picked out.  I would like to whittle the list down a little, and would like some input.  I want to know if anyone has any suggestions.  Thanks! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1w-DvKBQxvh1zIYKTtjGeB4lySv0MRbwWaP14uOWH2_Q/edit?usp=sharing

I would like to buy a laptop specifically for adope premiere pro. I'm new to this so i don't have to much money so a low end price is fine just to do the work is fine 

Back in August of 2018 I had planned a virtual retirement from hardware upgrading. But now with CC 2019 now here and requiring me to update some hardware once again, I am contemplating pulling out my miniITX i7-7700 PC from dormancy and putting my i7-4790K tower PC into semi-retirement. The holdup was that the i7-7700 has only 16 GB of RAM while the i7-4790K has 32 GB of RAM.To attain that goal without spending much if any money on new parts I am planning to move my currently in-use GTX 1060 6 GB card, 512 GB Samsung 850 PRO SSD and Pioneer BD-R/RW drive into the mini-ITX PC and remove personal software from my current PC and possibly refresh the OS installation on the older PC.Does that sound like a good plan? Or shall I get all-new hardware, such as a new CPU, motherboard, RAM and possibly an m.2 PCIe SSD or two, given my current financial situation (being on LOA from my day job, with possibly zero income)?I would really appreciate your answers.Randall

Bonjour tout le monde, Je voudrais acheter un nouveau PC portable pour un budget max de 700€, mais je n'y connais rien dutout !Il y a bientôt le Black Friday donc si je peux avoir à 700€ un pc qui en coûte au moins 1000€ et qui vaut le coup je suis partant.Je ne joue pas à des jeux, par contre je veux un ordinateur qui fasse tourner correctement les dernières version de Photoshop et Premiere Pro. Je cherche de préférence un Asus/Acer/Dell/MSI + Intel et un écran de 15-15,6 pouces.  Merci pour vos idées ! 🙂

Hi all,   Wanting some advice on the best way utilise my current hard drive setup in an optimal way for video editing. I do a fair bit of After Effects work as well.   I don't particularly know how to find exact specs. But I run a 1TB SSD, 500GB standard Hard Drive, and another 500GB standard drive for all system stuff and programs etc.   I've ended up putting all my stuff on the SSD, including project files, footage, and temp files; because I just assumed it would be easiest and fastest, but have heard of a number of different ideas of putting different elements of projects on different drives to optimise the performance of the computer.   So things like, where to put my temp files and media cache, footage files, other documents, project files etc. What are good practices when it comes to that sort of thing?   Appreciate any help given 😄  Thanks!  

I have been usings the Quadro 4000 acceleration card for many years in my Mac (2012), using Mac OS 10.12 with Premiere Pro CC, and everything worked fine. There was a problem with my audio programs and I had to upgrade to OS10.13.6, and suddenly the Quadro card doesnt work. What new card would you recomend? Paul Hoyle

Hello all, I will be buying a new computer system which will be more Premiere Pro friendly.  The two systems are identical with the exception of their hard drive configuration.  The systems consist of:Intel i9 9900K, 3.60GHz to 5.0GHz32GB Ram DDR4 2666 MHzGeForce RTX 2080 8GB The hard drive options:2TB 7200 PRM + 256GB PCle SSD    OR    1TB 7200 RPM + 512GB PCle SSD Which one of these hard drives would be better for Premiere Pro? Thanks for any input you can provide Bruce

As I'm thinking to upgrade my editing machine (HP z840, dual 16 core Xeon, 192GB RAM, Nvidia Quadro M4000 graphics), I'd like to know if anyone has experience / opinion / test results, of:a) adding another Quadro M4000 GPUb) adding a nvidia Tesla m40 12GB card Surely option a) increases the fluency of timeline playback, but does option b) do it better (ie is it woth the extra money...)? Any insights on this?

So, i'm using 16GB DDR4 At 3200MHZ, combined with a i7 8700k and RTX 2080Ti.If i'm upgrading to 32GB, DDR4 3200mhz, will my Premiere Pro & Neat Video performance increase? And, how much?My i7 8700k is running at 4.3 GHZ.      [Moderator note: moved to best forum]

Hi I want to upgrade (aka get a new one) my current editing hardware and I have trouble to decide which CPU, GPU and the amount of RAM I should take. I mostly work with 720p vids, but my main client wants to go for 1080p and also maybe 4k vids. My current setup is: i7-4790K, GTX 770 4GB, 32GB of RAM DDR3 (4x8GB), Gigabyte GA-Z97-D3H, Windows 10, storage (SSD for OS+Apps and HDD for all sorts of data) + ASUS PA248 monitor (I do have plans to either get a bigger one or a 2nd monitor somewhere next year). I do have some issues with this PC thats why I don't want to upgrade it or invest additional cash on it (main issues the mobo seems failing on the SATA ports).  1. CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X  vs AMD Ryzen 9 3900X  vs Intel i9-9900KI never used AMD so I have no experience how they work with Adobe software and I'm sceptical to test it now (I can't just buy an AMD setup and then turn it back, get a refund and buy Intel setup). The ones I listed

Hey guys,   two fantastic new CPU will be released soon. I am build a new 4K video editing system. Native and flawless timeline preview and performance is key to me. What would you recommand?   Will 16 core with less GHz of the 3950X beat the 5.0GHz with 8 cores and iGPU of the 9900KS?   Thanks, Alex     [Moderator note: moved to best forum]

Hi first post and new to video editing .I'm putting together a system for an Xmas present and it will only be for video editing.Specs so far are listed below and I'm now purchasing the last piece The GPU.Can you please recommend a GPU that won't break the budget?User will be a novice and I'm leaning towards buying a used GPU like GTX 1060?Thanks in advance . Also Adobe premiere pro is being used.I'm sure they will venture into after effects later on. CPU: Ryzen 3700xMB: MSI 470 Tomahawk (Bios Updated)RAM: 2X 16gb (32gb) 3200mhz Kingston Hyper XSSD: 140GB SAMSUNG (System)SSD 2GB Samsung HDD: 4tb Seagate Barracuda

Hi all I am doing my research to better understand the hardware components of desktop PCs in order to upgrade mine but am looking for some extra advice. The end goal is to have a machine that can process 4K footage with ease, the short-term goal is upgrading the current PC to allow 1080p footage edits with ease. Ideally replacing one component at a time to assess the performance changes. Here are my current specs: I understand that for 4K I will work to replacing practically every component. But what is likely the current bottleneck? Premiere Pro runs OK with 1080p if viewing a couple of short clips but starts lagging soon after that.  If I was to only replace the CPU for now, should I go for an i7 or i9, and which one? Or AMD? Will that be pointless if I don't also upgrade the GPU? Or would even replacing the ram with 32GB DDR4 boost the current performance? Or should I just proxy my 1080p to 480p for now? That's all new to me but has been suggested by a

First off: I'm an idiot.I've tried to understand computer specs, processors, graphic cards, etc. but it's over my head. So I'm just looking for a thumbs up, thumbs down, or another suggestion of a computer to buy to edit movies on Premiere Pro. I'll be editing a feature, with some colour correction, stabilization, and minimal effects. It's C100 footage, i.e., 1080HD.I don't need a super-computer and I'm on a budget, so I'm just trying to find something that will work. I'm trying to spend less than $800USD.Here is one computer that I'm thinking about purchasing. Here are the specs:Processor: Intel Core 7th Generation i7-7700 Processor (Quad Core, up to 4.20 GHz, 8MB Cache, 65W)Memory : 16GB DDR4Hard Drive : 2TB 7200 rpm SATA 6Gb/s Hard DriveOperating System : Windows 10 Pro (64-Bit)Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 2GB GDDR3I know the graphics card is a budget one. But I am on a budget!Here is a second option. Here are the specs: Processor Intel Core i7-6700 Quad-Core Memory: 16GB DD

Is there any bottleneck? Thank you,Alex 

helloi find out that there are lots of opion for buy at cheap price refurbished serverGenerally they have 3-4 years old hardware, most of the time ddr3 as ramProcessors are older and slower than the one we have now, but can be used multiple, 2 or morei wonder if that could be a good alternative to a ryzen 3600 3700 which i was planning to buy for my video editingI edit xt3 file 4kthanks
