Video Hardware

I have a Macbook ProProcessor: 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7Graphics: AMD Radeon Pro 5300M 4 GBIntel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MBMemory: 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4I edit a lot of video for work using Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.I would like to get an external drive to work off of.I was initially thinking the SanDisk 4TB Extreme PRO Portable SSD V2, but as I was researching I came across recommendations for other systems including NVMes.What would be the drive that would work best for my needs?

Hello, I just bought a new PC and three M.2 SSDs. For optimal editing and export speeds in Adobe Premiere Pro, which SSD should I use for the following? 1) OS and Premiere Pro application2) Media cache files3) Unedited video files4) Finalized exports The three SSDs are: Crucial T700 4TB (12,400mbps Read, 11800 Write)Samsung 990 Pro 4TB (7,450mbps Read, 6900mbps Write)Samsung 990 Pro 2TB (7,450mbps Read, 6900mbps Write)

I am supporting a user with a new installation of Adobe Premiere Pro 24 on their HP EliteBook 840 G6 running Windows 10 version 10.0.19045.4780. They had been using Premiere Pro for a week or better without issue. The program worked on Friday, 08/16 but, on Monday 08/19 the program would no longer open. It would open to a splash screen asking for credentials, but the screen would disappear a matter of seconds later (before they are able to enter credentials and hit "run").  While investigating... I found that one MS update (KB5028380) installed on 08/16 and two MS updates (KB5012170 & KB5015895) installed on 08/17.  This symptom is similar to what is documented by Adobe on Known issues in Adobe Premiere Pro where they say:"We recommend that Windows users download and use NVIDIA drivers (version 531.41 or higher). This will resolve any crashing issues that may have been present with older drivers. For more information, see the NVIDIA documenta

I have recently upgraded my Dell I7 laptop to 64gb of ram. I do a lot of Illustrator, Photoshop,Premiere pro, and After Effects. I am in the process of updating my Nvidia RTX 4060 driver.

So I am getting a new compugter, the current computer runs very slow specially when I use any of the Adobe Cloud apps. I am thinking of getting a 32gb RAM1T of solid state and 2T of regular old drive (HDD) for storage.But what is a good graphic card?What is a good processor?  I was doing some googling and an article came it depends of your work? light, medium, heavy? <<<  what does that even means? Of course I want to get work fast and don't want to be dealing with frozen screens. The programs I use (not everyday, but maybe 3 times a week, or whenever I need them)  from Adobe Cloud are: IllustratorPremier prophotoshopCharacter Animator ^^ Some of them I haven't use in a while, but they all take forever to work with now. The computer I have today was never fast with Adobe, but it was on the acceptable side. Dell XPS 89002T HDD driveProcesor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.41 GHzRAM: 16GB Display adapaters:&n

Hi guys I wonder whether anyone can advise me of the required spec to use with Adobe Premiere Pro (APP). (Yes, I have looked on the Apple website. But I'd find it useful to hear from other people who also use this software). I currenly have a 4 year old, high spec (shown below) Dell laptop which was supplied by my company's IT dept. In the last week I've noticed that while editing subtitles, APP is hanging and going slow, especially when I don't want it to. If I press 'play' it hangs, sometimes for 30 seconds. If it's playing and I press 'stop' it can carry on playing, again for 30 seconds or so. Today my IT colleague thoroughly checked over my laptop. He thinks it is absolutely fine and working as it should.I'm used to Windows operating system and 97% of my company's other laptops have Windows installed.  Are Apple pc's/laptops always better? 

considering to upgrade my PC -Need Help with choosing between Mac Studio M2 Maxvs i9 14900K with 4070 Super...pl advice which will be better with Premiere Pro

Hi there,  I have issues with my laptop Lenovo:System-SKU: LENOVO_MT_20S4_BU_Think_FM_ThinkPad P14s Gen 1 Everytime i want to edit some video's the playback or the preview monitor can't play this smoothly. It's always with framedrops, it's always with lags, i can't even make a mask because it's so much troubleshooting. I already tried; cache media, i tried working with proxies, i tried working on the lowest resolution. I tried everything that already exists on the help pages. Ofcourse IT is a little bit anti Adobe. So when they choose my computer they made their decision on photo-editing and not on video-editing. They say it's a laptop who are used for architects and ingeneers. But how is it possible that when i work in premiere pro or any other video editing program it just doesn't run smoothly. I can't work. the specs; SKU system: Systeem-SKU LENOVO_MT_20S4_BU_Think_FM_ThinkPad P14s Gen 1processor: Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10610U CPU @ 1.

Hi, this is my current PC:CPU: Ryzen 9 5950XMB: MSI Mortar B550MEM: 2x16GB DDR4 3200GC: MSI RTX 3060 Ti Ventus 2x 8GBPWR: MSI 850W 80 Plus GoldSTG:  1x1Tb M.2 (System and apps), 1x2Tb M.2 (RAW files), 1x250Gb SATA (cahce and some resources) I'm gonna update this week to: MEM: 2x32Gb DDR4 3200STG: 1x2Tb M.2 (System), 1x4Tb M.2 (RAW files) I have to set the preview to 1/4 because it can't handle 4k sequences and it's something that annoys me because I consider that I have a decent stuff for 4k although sometimes I think that the graphics card is a bit lacking. I'm right? Is it true that for 4k editing the graphics card plays a much more important role than in 1080?Is it worth upgrading the RTX 3060 TI 8Gb for something superior?How are AMD graphics cards working with the current versions of Premiere and After Effects? Thanks

Hey, guys.  I actually have a 5600x 32g ram 3600 and a 6700xt 12gb vram.After premieres's last upgrade, I felt it a bit heavier to my system. What upgrade would you guys choose?  1. Upgrade CPU to 9900x and keep the 6700xt; 2. Upgrade both CPU to 5900xt and GPU to a 7900xtx; Or, still:3. Keep the CPU and upgrade GPU to the 7900xtx. I just use it for premiere, editing in 4k slog 8bit and for obs in lives. Sometimes, gaming in 4k.

Hi, everyone I plan to buy new PC for this purpose next month. My only problem here is that I have limited budget for now, but hopefully, I will be doing upgrades in upcoming time after I build my initial PC. So, i'm going to start doing edit as freelancer, mostly in 1080p30-60, but sometime I must be ready for clients that could demand me to edit video in 4k resolution, so I need your opinions about worthy of doing my PC build. Also, my focus will be on short form videos and podcasts, not long-lenght special effect heavy videos. Here are potential specs of my PC. Of course, I didn't decide finally which components to by, but there are some of them that I have in my mind: AMD Ryzen 5 3500x/Ryzen 5 5500/Intel i5-11400fRAM: 16/32gb ddr4GPU: For now, I have only ASUS (AMD) RX 550 4gb ddr5 which I bought four years ago, but I'm seeking for best graphics under 200$, if it exists (example, Intel ARC380 6gb ddr5)
