Video Hardware

I am in the process of building a new PC for Premiere, Resolve, and some light After Effects.At the moment I have:i9 9900k64Gb Ram1 Tb sata SSD boot drive2 m2 SSD casche and media drivesHDD for short term storage1000w psu Would I get better performance with a 1080ti with 11Gb video ramor a later generation 2060/70 Super with 8Gb video ram.

Is the GTX 1050 (Not TI) capable of producing best resolution on a Benq 2700 PT? I have 16 gigs of ram and it's an Intel 750 I5 CPU. Trying to understand the role of the VGA to monitor performance.

Hey guys, I'd be happy about a short feedback to the following new build:   i9 9900K (5,0 to 5,1 GHz overclock)Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master Intel Z390 So.1151 Dual Channel DDR4 Nocture Noctua D15s dual fan cooler 4 x 16 GB G.Skill Trident Z silber/rot DDR4-3200 DIMM CL14 Dual Kit OS/Apps = 256 GB Samsung 850 Pro SSD Media files = 1000GB Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2 Cache = 500GB Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2 Backup = 3000GB WD Black EVGA GTX 1080 FTW Gaming Acx 3.0 8GB Corsair 850 PSU   I'll be editing mainly GH5 4K footage in multicam shots with color grading and dynamic link to After Effects.   My question will I get full performance for all part due to the PCI lanes? Is there any bottleneck?   Thank you,Alex   [Moderator note: moved to best forum]

I am purchasing a new Macbook Pro and I had a few questions regarding graphics card and Mac Metal. My options are either going with the AMD Radeon Pro 560X or AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20. I saw on the list of recommended cards the AMD Radeon Pro 560 is listed. Is that different from the AMD Radeon Pro 560X? And would the AMD Radeon Pro 560X still be compatible? Also how much more significant is the performance from the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 compared to the AMD Radeon Pro 560X? And is it worth the extra money?Thanks in advance!

Hello! I had a PC custom built soley for editing with Premiere by a local computer shop. However, I feel the setup isn't quite working on a day to day basis. I often has software crashes (Premiere), slow playback (stuttering etc) and it's generally not as reliable as Macs I've worked with in the past.  Here is the setup: CPU: Intel - Core i5-8400 2.8 GHz 6-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler Motherboard: MSI - B360-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Memory: G.Skill - NT Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2133 Memory Storage: Samsung - 960 EVO 250 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive Storage: Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1 TB 35" 7200RPM Internal HardDriveVideo Card: EVGA - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6 GB SC GAMING Video Card Case: Phanteks - Enthoo Pro ATX Full Tower Case Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply Optical Drive: Asus - DRW-24B

Hello everyone,I am looking to purchase a video editing system. I mostly edit for YouTube. The videos are shot on Sony mirrorless cameras.Please let me know what you think of this build.

hello everybody hru? im planning on starting my learning journey with premiere pro  but first im going to buy a new windows laptop so what king do u recommed for a good performance ? how much RAM? 16 or 32? is a 6gb 1060ti vga enough ? i7 250 SSD? is the above enough for 4k rendering?   thank you    Moved to hardware forum Go to main hardware page https://community.adobe.com/t5/Video-Hardware/bd-p/video-hardware and read other messages  

I have looked at required and suggested specs.To get the perfect laptop is out of my price range.I generally do a lot of editing on different file types rarely 1080 never higher  some special effect no color correction etc.Where can i trim a corner here and there and still have a good experience.I'm wondering do I splurge on the CPU speed and get 8g ram  and 2g on the graphics card.I just want a stable platform and reasonable render times.  Where can I go minimum and where should I devote the cash that I do have.As an example... i could get an i7 9...H processor and 8gig ram with a Ti 6 G card ori78 H processor with 16ram and Ti 2G cardor i5 quadcore with 32ram and Ti 4G card. Appreciate any advice (and my apologies to Peru Bob but it won't let choose the topic below to move it hardware forum)

Hi,I recently built a new computer and ever since I have been having issues with CC 2017. First, I tried to set up my second display to show only the program monitor, that didn't work. It would create a black screen on my secondary monitor, I  could see my mouse pointer but nothing would be displayed. I tried switching renderers and disabling intel h.264 encoding. No luck. I then decided to just set up a dual monitor workspace. At first it was working fine, but then I had a crash and after restarting it would no longer playback any video, only audio. It usually shows a white screen for the program monitor and just blank for the source monitor, audio always plays. I reinstalled a few times, and it would fix my issue, but then it would come back. Now it won't go away, and Premiere won't work with both monitors no matter what I do. When I turn the secondary monitor off and disable it completely my video will magically show up and everything works fine, that is until I re-enable the o

i am looking to buy a monitor that would be compatable with premiere pro and my elgato capture card. i do not know where to start, looking for something that wont cost an arm and a leg to buy. mostly using for youtube channel, mostly looking at amazon/bestbuy due to having gift cards. any recommendations?

Hello all, I plan to custom build my computer for video editing primarily; no games, streaming or anything. At this time, I edit H.264 XAVC Sony files (1080p/60fps and occasionally 4K/30fps - 60Mbit or 100Mbit quality files).   I'm looking for build that can easily without lag, scrub through the timelines, encode adn decode files easily, allow multicam to work flawlessly without lag, fast rendering times while maintain cool CPU temperatures, basic lumetri colour corrections, basic effects and anything in between!   I've done a lot of reach online and watched hours and hours of video on YouTube. I would liek to future proof myself and make sur emy build is compatible for future generation CPUs. I've come to essentially 2 major builds:   AMD BUILD AMD Ryzen 3900X (12c/24t) or 3700X (8c/16t) GTX 1660 6GB or GTX 1660 TI 6GB 16GB 3000/32000Mhz RAM   INTEL BUILD Intel i9-9900k or i7 9700K GTX 1660 6GB or GTX 1660 TI 6GB 16GB 3000/32000Mhz RAM   Which system

This is what I've read somewhere but I can't find it.Might be a comment by Ann Bens.

Hello,I'm planning to buy Dell 3541 mobile workstation in following configuration:- i7-9850H 2,6GHz- 32GB RAM DDR4 ECC- Nvidia Quadro P620 w/ 4GB GDDR5 (512 CUDA cores, memory interface 128-bit, memory bandwidth 80GB/s)- 1 TB SSD NVMe- Windows Pro 64 bit Do you think that's enough for smooth Full HD (occasionally 4K) editing in Premiere Pro 2019, including usage of GPU accelerated effects/rendering? This relatively new Quadro P620 doesn't reach performance of P1000 (640 CUDA cores), that is listed among recommended graphic cards for Premiere Pro, but compared to older P600 has more cores and, in mobile version, also 4GB VRAM. Thank you for the responseJan Senius

HiWe are building a monster that will stand to time to come. We got all under control but today we got into a CPU argument. We are running Dell Precision 7920 tower and will be using Dual Xenon. We will be using much more tools then after effects but that is the number one. Like 99% of the testes are on Intel i series CPU and not Xenon. The question is most about Core over Frequence?Anyone got the answer?We have looked at : Dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8276 2.2GHz, 4.0GHz Turbo, 28C, 10.4GT/s 3UPI, 38.5MB, HT (165W) DDR4-2933

I've added a BMPCC4K to my shop, as the main rig. Often in b-raw, and it runs about 610 Mb/s in that mode. Some ProRes 422 and LT of course. So the amount of media has jumped dramatically from the 150 Mb/s my older camera runs.   I've been running six internal drives, mostly SSDs, but ... that was for running with the 150 Mb/s workflow. I've got a couple projects now that are over 300 GB of media coming in. And more on the way.   I need a much larger local storage setup. It would need to be attached directly to my computer. I know a lot of colorists that are using Qnap and other RAID rigs to get both size of space and speed of read/write, and am curious what the folks here would recommend? I can either run USB3.1 or put another card in the computer, I've space for a couple more cards.   And I'm expecting that I will need to quickly archive projects even with a larger storage availability.   Neil

Hey,I plan to buy a new pc and it wish to find a clear answer by Adobe (that should be checking these forum daily).My questions:1. Is multicore abobe 8 core supported? If by which AMD and Intel CPU series?2. Does Playback (decoding) only benefit from the intel GPU chip of the CPU? Only from intel? Also from which Intel series, i9? What is your recommandation?3. Does high clock GHz count over multicore? Whats is the best belance for premiere pro?4. What is planed in the future on multicore support? Since Davinci and Final cut etc also all working fine... If I wont find help here: where can I contact a professinal Adobe Stuff via hotline to get a clear answer?!Thanks,Alex 

I have just started building a new PC, what size m2 nvme ssd would you use for the scratch / cache drive?I will be working with Braw 4k files (if I can get them to work!)Project length will be up to 2 hours.

Hey guys,I am building my first AMD System for 4K Videoediting. I've been around with Intel for years and now trying the following AMD setup:AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X 16x 3.40GHzNoctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3ASUS PRIME X399-A OR MSI X399 SLI PLUS AMD X399Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus (Files/cache)Samsung SSD 960 Pro (OS)8 x 8 GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4-3000 DIMM CL15 Quad Kit(Shall I sell it and get 4 x 16 or 2 x 32 GB ? Will it give me better performance? What MHz and latency would you recommand?)6GB EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 FTW+ Aktiv(it is a bit older though. Will it be a bottleneck? I am not gaming. But need GPU for color grading and GPU relevant effects. What would alternatively a good CPU option?)850 Watt Corsair RMx Series RM850x Modular 80+ Gold(Also a bit older. Will it run fine my setup in terms of power consumption)I might plan a little OC on that system.Really appreciate your feedback. Thanks, Alex

I've been using CS6 on Windows 10 just fine, but now I need to add closed captions to a 30-sec clip, which means I need Pro CC.My footage is 1080p, not 4K. My obsolete hardware:CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450GPU: EVGA GTX 560 Ti 1 GB VRAM I don't care if Premiere Pro CC is going to run slow on these, all I need to know if it will run at all, or if there are some hardware incompatibilities. I know the minimum system requirements for Pro CC are i5/i7 CPU and 2 GB VRAM, but I wonder if real-life experience differs from the theory. If someone has been able to use Pro CC on Core2Quad and 1GB VRAM, could you please write that CPU/GPU and Premiere version? Thanks!

Hi,I'm looking at switching from my old 2012 iMac to a new macbook pro as I'm a video editor for a small TV company. if i went for a a fully kitted out 15in model i'd be looking around £6500 which i cannot afford, but i also don't want to get a basic model that won't be able to run all the CC programs and have slow export times.We are mainly editing 30 minute shows at 1080, rarely anything at 4K so could anyone point me in the general direction of what specs I should be looking at for a mid range model that wont break the bank but i should get at least a good 4-5 years with no slow down issues on. My budget is around £2000/2500Many ThanksNeil

Hey guys, I already found a few posts on multicore discussions but most of them remained unclear.I am going for a new system and are looking into AMD and Intel. i7 9700K or AMD 1950X or higher. That would be 8 vs 16 cores. What is the latest status in PP latest verion? What would be best to go for? Thanks,Alex

https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Premiere-Pro-CC-2019-CPU-Roundup-Intel-vs-AMD-vs-Mac-1320/I dont see any advantage of using more than 8 cores. Are you sure that Premier Pro uses more than 8 cores?

I need experienced assistance with selecting a well rounded computer and video camera for development using Adobe Premiere Pro and other Adobe apps.

Thank you for your time.  I have what seems like a tough decision to make. I have been using Adobe since CS2.  I’m an Instructional Design Specialist and use Ps, Ai, Id, Au, and Pr. I currently have a ZBook (K4K41UT#ABA upgraded RAM to 24GB) which IT says is end of life. I would love to have a smaller computer that is easy to transport. So my question is, can I get away with the Elitebook 745 G6 listed below? IT has given me two choices due to security and the ability to use a specific image: 7RX05UT#ABA HP EliteBook 745 G6 14" Touchscreen Notebook - 1920 x 1080 - Ryzen 7 3700U - 16 GB RAM - 512 GB SSD - Windows 10 Pro 64-bit - AMD Radeon Vega – In-plane Switching (IPS) Technology4RB08UT#ABA HP ZBook 15 G5 15.6" Touchscreen Mobile Workstation - 1920 x 1080 – Intel i7-8750H - 16 GB RAM - 512 GB SSD – Windows 10 Pro 64-bit - NVIDIA Quadro P1000 with 4 GB - In-plane Switching (IPS) I am editing video less but still do so including captioning for our Deaf
