Hi Everyone,I'm trying to figure out what kind of performance upgrade a new laptop might give me for video editing.Currently, I'm using my Macbook Pro 15inch 2011 edition which has the following specs:Processor 2.2 Ghz Intel Core i7Memory: 16 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3Startup Disk: Mac SSHDGraphics: AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512MB Intel HD Graphics 30000 512 MB (Not sure why it says 2 graphics cards)I'm considering a new Macbook Pro 13inch which has the following specs:So, the question, what kind of performance improvement should I expect? I'm editing short videos shot in 1080, if that's helpful....TIA![Moderator note: moved to best forum.]

Can i ask to request GTX Titan X with Maxwell architecture add in supported cards in next updates of Premiere? Or its already in "plan"? I hope some experts read this and post answers.Thank you in advance.

I have a "HIS AMD HD Radeon 7950 3GB", I tried to enable openCL graphics support in premiere pro but not able to(have updated driver of GPU and motherboard, added required .txt file).GPUSniffer says "did not find any devices that support GPU computation " & premiere pro is stuck on "Mercury Playback Engine software only"My Question is - Will premiere pro/Adobe Media Encoder benefit from my graphics card? Will it make any difference if I have this graphics card or use integrated one?Note: I have rendered few projects in it and it utilize 100% CPU but not even 1% of GPU(I am pretty sure I am using GPU accelerated effects).My System config:CPU: i7 3770K @3.5Ghz 4 cores 8 threads, overclocked to 4.27 GhzMotherboard: P8Z77-VRAM: 32GB Dual Channel DDR3 Kingston KVR16N11H/8GPU: HIS AMD HD Radeon 7950 3GBHDD: 512GB SSD(OS/Programs), 120GB SSD(Project/Media Cache), 1TB HDD(Media files)System: Windows 10 64Premiere Pro / Media Encoder version - 2018

Hi people!I heard from a technician that using Windows 10 Pro for Workstations in conjunction with Premiere Pro would make a difference compared to using it with Windows 10 Pro or the "lower" version.The advantages would be related to better overall performance, less memory usage for execution (which also guarantees, in the end, a significant increase of performance), greater fidelity in the use of the files and even correction for some corruptions that are possible ...Would it be an exaggeration?Currently I use the Windows 10 Pro version. After the idea that he passed me, I was tempted to migrate to the version for Workstations ... Has anyone had any experience? If so, could you tell me the advantages and possible disadvantages (apart from the higher cost)? Was it unnecessary? It may even be an impression only (from a technical view), if someone is willing to give an opinion, thank you!!

Hello everyone,I try to fix for long time my issue with AMD Radeon Pro WX 3100. With this card I don't have option to change Renderer in Premiere Pro CC 2017. I have latest drivers.On the prtscr you see my settings and my problem.Please can you help me somebody?Thx and GREAT CUT

Hi,I would like to purchase an alternative to Cintiq, such as a graphic display tablet by Huion Kamvas. My laptop(Acer? I think) is seriously under powered for adobe software.I would like bluetooth, light weight, SSD, fast processor. I can't afford Apple as they are so out of my price range. What would you suggest I consider for the laptop....I don't care about brand, just performance. I usually buy on Amazon, but even a refurbished one on eBay or the manufacturer's website would be acceptable.Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello,    Would this PC work for Premiere Pro CC editing?Amazon.com : Dell Optiplex 9010 Computer, Quad Core i7 upto 3.8, 16GB RAM, New 500GB SSHD, Windows 10 Pro, Nvidia Quadro… The editing would be for my syndicated cable TV show, to 1080p HD, 23.97fps, with luma & ultra key effects, transitions, and some LUTs.Thank you for your time!

i notice that a lot of online resellers sell dell monitors way cheaper.is this always the way? or is it just old models that dell is wanting to get rid of?specifically the higher end ones from $700-2000.a new model just came out at $1600 that i am keen on and was wondering if resellers were about to get it for hundreds less?or is it typically a year or so before that happens?

Hey guys,Just wanted to pick your brains to see if any of you can figure out why I'm getting such bad performance from PP (ver. 12lately.Recently started a feature and on occasion my machine is struggling to playback even low res proxies.Tech Specs below...Mac Pro (Late 2013)Processor   3.5 Ghz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5Memory    64gb 1866 MHz DDR3Graphics    Dual AMD FirePro D700 6144 MBI'm working with Alexa 3k footage in a match sequence timeline off 2 8TB G-Raids @7200 RPM over USB 3 connections.So my machine clearly should be able to handle full res playback of even the master files but as I said above sometimes I struggle to playback low res proxies at half or even quarter debayer. Even though I'm not connected via Thunderbolt, or working off an SSD, I figured the fast G-Raids wouldn't be a problem but the light on whichever drive is being referenced is blinking when I start to drop frames.They are also brand new production drives so I don't thin

I've been getting into videography (just on a hobby level) and desperately need to update my storage. Right now I have a 250GB SSD (OS/programs) and a 1TB WD Blue on my desktop. No external HDDs - nothing.Now I want to make it clear that I am trying to upgrade my storage on a budget. I'd like to keep this under $400-$500. Cheaper the better (of course I don't want to buy complete junk though).I've been researching for several days now and I am starting to beat a dead horse here ha. I originally thought I would just get a SATA dock/WD Reds and simply archive my video footage and store the WD Reds in my safe. I would then backup with BackBlaze. The more I have read, the more I have realized that storing bare drives on the shelf may or may not be a very reliable solution. Also, BackBlaze requires external hard drives to be hooked up at least every 30 days otherwise it will assume the data is gone and delete it from their cloud. So...I am thinking it might be best to get something that is

I'm thinking of buying a laptop, for basic day to day use and also for editing videos in Adobe Premiere pro and photoshopping.Is this laptop up for the task by its specifications:Acer Aspire 5 15,6", Intel® Core™ i5-8250U, 8 GB DDR4 RAM, 256 GB SSDNX.GT0ED.002 is the Acer productcode.

I have a pretty beefy PC with a 5960X, 32GB RAM and 3x 980ti GPUs (AE only uses 1 though). When using AE it felt laggy and struggled when trying to preview a project. I tried it on my mid-2015 Macbook Pro and to my surprise AE felt more responsive and previewed much faster. I rang tech support and he made the following claims that surprised me:AE will never use more than 16GB RAM when working on a project so adding 64GB won't make a differenceAE isn't as quick/optimised on Windows as it is on MacThe issues with AE on Windows will be resolved in the next updateAre these true? I've seen tests online where people use 128GB RAM and see speed improvements but would that only affect the final render? Is AE just not as good on a PC as it is on a Mac? Although the previews are still ever so slightly slower compared to the Macbook, it's less laggy now (the audio is out of sync at the start though) after he went into Preferences > Memory and changed it to 19.9GB for Adobe applications and 12G

I just built a new system and I'd like some advice on the best way to use my SSD drives for video editing, and for Adobe programs across the board. Raw video footage and photos are stored on a Synology DiskStation DS1817+.  In addition to the video, I deal with hundreds of thousands of photos that are edited in Lightroom, but stored on the NAS.For video editing on my old system I would copy the video footage from the NAS to the SSD and then import it into Première Pro thinking it would speed things up but I actually didn't notice a ton of difference, so I just used the SSD's for cache and scratch disks.My system details are below:AMD Threadripper 2950X 16 Core (Overclocked to 4.2GHz)Motherboard - ASUS ROG STRIXRAM - 64GB Gskill DDR4 3200MHz (4 x 16GB)GPU - AMD FirePro W9100 with 32GB VRAM I actually have 2 of these but I put both in the system, so 64GB of VRAM, and didn't see any performance improvement in CineBench, so it doesn't seem worth dealing with the heat they createHard D

I just bought a power-house PC specifically for Premiere Pro and After Effects, and was expecting extremely fast render times. However, not only does Premiere Pro and After Effects take over 30 seconds to boot (my old computer booted them in less than 10 seconds), but the rendering time seems the same, if not worse. Here are my specs:Processor: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X (16-Core) (Boost Up to 4.0 GHz)Motherboard: ASUS ROG ZENITH EXTREME (AMD X399 Chipset) (Up to 4x PCI-E Devices) (ECC Support)System Memory: 64GB DDR4 3000MHzStorage Set 1: 1x SSD (480GB)Storage Set 2: 1x Storage (3TB Seagate / Toshiba)Graphics Card(s): 1x GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GBOperating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Professional (64-Bit Edition)Both Adobe and the Cache are located on the SSD. I have tried allocating more memory to Adobe. I have tried both Creator Mode and Game Mode on the 1950x.It took me 15 minutes to render a 12 minute 1080p video which barely had any effects, and used a lot of still frame picture

Hi,my daughter will be using premier pro for her college course and is getting a Macbook Pro.  Can anyone PLEASE confirm if this one is ok...

Hello,Did  anyone had faster data transfer rate with kanex thunderbolt adapter to external usb 3 drives?Asus z87 expert i7 4770

Since I don’t do a ton of editing and do this simply as a hobby I am thinking I would like to archive my videos/projects by using a SATA dock (aka toaster oven) and some desktop HDs (WD Blue, Red, etc). I’ve been told to stay away from Seagate.I am trying determine if I should go with WD Blues (4TB drives) or WD Reds (a bit more expensive). I’ve seen a lot of folks using WD Blues (what we’re the WD Greens) for this purpose. Keep in mind this is to simply store old videos/projects. These will sit on the shelf and will only be pulled to archive more videos/projects.Thanks.

Hi all!I am in need of a new editing laptop for Premiere Pro. I have narrowed my choices between the Razer Blade 15 and the MacBook Pro. I often use Premiere Pro for editing videos that are typically 20 to 30 minute 1080p h.264 files. These videos contain multiple layers of videos (like side-by-side comparisons), titles and simple animations. On my current base model 2017 MacBook Pro (running 12.1.2), these videos take 3 hours to export. Please help me decide which laptop will have faster export times compared to my 2017 MBP.
