Hi,I'm about to start a fine art university course and I need a laptop that can run Adobe Creative Cloud,i'd like to keep costs as low as possible whilst still having the power to run Photoshop, Illustrator and Premiere.I have found three laptops: Buy HP 14" Intel® Core™ i7 Laptop - 256 GB SSD, Gold | Free Delivery | Currys This first laptop has 8GB RAM, which i've heard is about the minimum you'd need to run a program like Illustrator,and it also has the Intel Core i7 (8th gen), which claims to be able to handle 4K media editing and creation, which sounds quite promising,it has a 256gb SSD, which will be useful as I think Adobe CC uses a lot of scratch disk space. There is also a £450 version with Intel Core i5 as opposed to this £679 version, but I'm not sure the i5 would be powerful enough.Buy HP Pavilion 14-ce0505sa 14" Intel® Core™ i7 Laptop - 256 GB SSD, Silver | Free Delivery | Currys For just over £100 more I can get an HP pavilion laptop with essentially the same specs but wit

Hey guys,I am working with Panasonic GH5 4K 10bit footage. Bitrate is about 150 mpbs.I am on the following machine:intel i7 6-core 3,8 GHzAsus X99-A II32 GB RAM1060 GTX1 x Samsung M2 960 EVO(running win10, Adobe CC)1 x Samsung 850 Pro(Project files, media and cache)Latest Version of PPIn my latest 4K projects playback is jerky. Checking my resources CPU usage is about only 50-60%.GPU and RAM are fine.I was wondering what my bottleneck is? Would a seperate SSD drive help performance? If so would a simple 850 pro SSD help? Or should I lookinto those: Intel® Optane™ SSD 900P Series ? My idea was to have media cache run on that seperate drive instead of on the M2.Any ideal wouid be much appreciated! Thank, Alex

Hello, guys!First of all Im really sorry for my English, my native language is Latvian.I did a bit of searching in this forum but couldn't find a proper answer. Im really hoping tha someone can help me here with advice.My problem is timeline performance in premiere 2017. Recently I build a new rig, invested some money, but Im not happy with my results. Rendering is fine, but the timeline problems are very noticable. For example. Im editing the Mavic Air 4k 30fps footage in my premiere and when Im starting to apply adjustment layers my timeline performace starts to get very laggy. For example, when Im applying the luts or some other colour adjustments.My specs are:Ryzen 1700 / overclocked to 3,6MhzGtx 1070Corsair vengeance 3200mhz 16gbSsd m2 Samsung EvoFreshly reinstalled win 10Im suspecious that my CPU is the problem. When I hit the task manager it shows my CPU is nearly 100% bussy in playback time. The playback with applied luts is very laggy like Im watching the slideshow. I wonder h

Just finished my new PC build with an i7-7280x on a gigabyte Aorus x299 gaming 7 board. I got everything up and running, loaded Creative Cloud and all my apps, did a test fire up on Premiere (which worked fast and great) added a few more components and sealed up the box. Now upon starting Premiere, I get BSOD with a bar code for troubleshooting. Any idea what would cause Premiere to crash the OS??

Hello at all,I have a question about which better GPU configuration, if someone could clarify the argument I would appreciate it very much.I have a PC with amd 1950X cpu and a GTX1080 graphics card.Is it better to buy another GTX 1080 and put the 2 graphics cards in SLI configuration or use a single GTX 1080TI?Than 2 graphics cards GTX 1080 in SLI configuracion are better of the GTX 1080 TI ?Thankk you

Recently we bought an ATOMOS Sumo 19 as a dual purpose field and 2nd edit suite program monitor.The system we run Premiere Pro CC 2018 on was initially set up for running an AVID MC with nitris dx.it is a lenovo thinkstation:Intel Xeon CPU-E3-1245V2 @3.40GHZ OS:Win 7 Professional 64 bitGraphics:Intel HD Graphics P4000  128MB to 1760MB.which card would be recommended to power the ATOMOS Sumo 19 for use as a client program monitor ?Are we in Black Magic, Aja world or is there something different.I know this may highjack your thread, apologies.

Hi folks!Im building workstation for my company (videoediting, graphics, a little bit of 3D effects, and possibly game-dev soon).Right now I thought abouught:i7-870032-64 GB ram DDR4(no idea for motherboard)ssd's for system and Adobe Appshdd for dataand GPU...SO... We want to use 10bit display.But... Hi end Quadro are extremly expensive... And I wonder. Is it possible to: use GTX1070 for rendering, and P1000 for display?We're going to buy Eizo CG2730 or BenQ SW320. Did Eizo 8+2 bit system would bypass Adobe/GTX limitation? Or.. should I bought 2 display per workstation (one for colorgrading, and one for "rest")?

I'm in the process of buying a video card for my computer to aid in video editing and I wanted to know if PR and AE support Direct X - or - if the video cards have to be CUDA cards to be supported. Please advise.

I will confess that there is probably something I'm not understanding and maybe one of you can point me in the right direction or give me some good ideas.Current Rig:Core i5 4690 (Haswell)MSI Z97-G55 SLI16G Ram750G SSD (OS and Apps)1T Traditional HDD for media (SATA 6G)Win 10 (64 bit)Latest version of Premiere ProI'm using this for light editing. Playback with 4k files was enough to get the job done - (30fps on a single monitor at 1/4 resolution - don't need anything more).

It even struggles a bit when playing 4k files using Windows default player.I killed everything running in the background. No help there.3D Games look great tho. So, thoughts about what I'm doing wrong? If I can't debug this, I am able to return the card but I wo

Hello,We just hired a graphic designer. Upon seeing the specs of the laptop she is receiving which had 16GBs of RAM and 256 GB SSD, she told us that she would need at least 32 GBs of RAM and 1 TB SSD to be able to render hour-long videos in an hour or less. She will be editing videos, creating them using green screen and rotoscopping.In doing some research, I am seeing that the CPU does the rendering and is most important in this case. Is this correct? Are her assertions correct for what she needs or is it somewhere down the middle? The laptop she has is still under what I feel are appropriate specs, but a 1 TB SSD is not doable for our organization, so we are looking to strike a balance.This is what I am interested in:DesktopOperating System: Windows 10 ProCPU: i7-7700, AMD Ryzen 7 1700X, AMD Ryzen 5 1400 Quad Core, Intel 7th Generation Core i9 X, i7-8700, or i7-8700K RAM: 24 - 32GBs of DDR4Storage: 1TB Hard Drive + 256GB SSDGPU: Intel HD Graphics 630, NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030, NVIDIA G

Hi all... first time poster. I have been saving up my money and have a couple thousand dollars to buy a new computer. My main objectives it to be able to run Adobe CC and Camtasia so they run fast without a lot of issues. I have spent the day reading and watching videos and have seen a zillion suggestions, but figured I should go directly into the belly of the beast and ask actual Adobe CC users.If I knew how to assemble my own computer, I would... but that is beyond me. Can some of you give me suggestions of out-of-the-box solutions that are just ready to rock and roll? I would love to spend less than $2000 if I can, but if needed I can go that high and maybe just a little more. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking to possibly purchase a new computer for running ADOBE PREMIERE and AVID. The one I have has been great, but it's starting to show its age (especially with 4K projects). Here's what I currently have:Mac Pro (Late 2013)3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E564 GB 1866 MHz DDR3AMD FirePro D700 6144 MBI use AJA IO4K to monitor video and audio (and sometimes go to tape)and Promise Pegasus Thunderbolt 2 drives.I want to stay with MAC. Would I notice an improvement is I purchase a imac pro like this:Apple 27" iMac Pro with Retina 5K Display (Late 2017)3.2 GHz Intel Xeon W 8-Core32GB of DDR4 RAM | 1TB SSDAMD Radeon Pro Vega 64 (16GB HBM2)27" 5120 x 2880 IPS Retina 5K DisplayUHS-II SDXC Card ReaderThunderbolt 3 | USB 3.0Also, when I use an Adobe Product like Premiere Pro with my current system, to get clean renders, I have to use RENDER ENGINE IN SOFTWARE ONLY MODE. Would this imac pro fix that issue? Thanks!

I have an old laptop using a GeForce GT 620M and Intel i7-3517UI want to upgrade to a new 2-in-1 detachable laptop but unfortunately most of them don't come with discrete graphics.So for things like Adobe Premiere would my old GeForce GT 620M and Intel i7-3517U still be faster than the newer Intel 620 integrated graphics with something like an Intel i7-8650U?

Hi forum. ( this title should be posted in hardware forum)It'll be time soon to upgrade my PC, and make the most of the budget I can afford. I stumbled on this video on YouTube, which the specsseem extremely capable of enduring any task of Premiere and After effects, but the budget is around $8000 Australian Dollars. My question is, is this PC build overkill?for example, with all those high end specs, how long would it take to export a project from Premiere? In my previous post on the forum, I tried to export my H.264 video and I had to wait 12 Hours... Due to my PC having specs almost a decade ago which it was built. So just average taking a mere guess, how long would this BEAST which this guy claims take to export an hourly video?8K Video Editing BEAST! - 16 Core ThreadRipper for Premiere Pro and Resolve - YouTube Thank you.

Thanks in advance! This is a challenge only because of my limited budget...A. StorageTasks: I mainly edit XVAC 4K 30fps footages shot with SONY A7 series mirrorless using Premiere Pro (CS6 though), occasionally AE. So far none of my projects exceeds 100GB of size. My priority is smooth playback and workflow without drop frames.Specs of the PC I'm going to build:-CPU: i7-8700-RAM: 16GB-GPU: GTX770Due to budget, I am considering these storage options :a. 1x SATA III 500GB (for OS and project files)b. 1x SATA III (for OS); 1x SATA III (for project files)c. 1x M.2 (for OS and project files)d. 1x M.2 (for OS); 1x SATA III (for project files)e. 1x SATA III (for OS); 1x M.2 (for project files)Note: Except option (a), the above M.2 refers to "Samsung EVO 970 NVMe", while SATA III referes to "Samsung EVO 860 SATA III", and project files include all footages and caches etc. I back up every project to my HDD so I don't need a large SSD for project files.Questions:1. Which option would you recomme

​Hi! I am looking for advice!i do videography as a job and I also do the post-production of my videos. I have been working with an iMac.

For the past several years, I have been giving advice to some users about what I have recommended for hardware upgrades, and I have been upgrading and/or updating my systems accordingly. But now, with finances in question and my non-entertainment, non-editing (read: everyday) work consuming most of my time these days, I am announcing my virtual retirement from hardware upgrades, and will only update to newer hardware if the old hardware begins suffering from security issues due to discontinued support.Here is the biggest reason for my decision:My work has been entirely in 1080p or lower resolution, and I am not planning to move to higher-rez video material (e.g. 4k) for the foreseeable future. Thus, I am beginning to feel that I have wasted money for all this hardware that may be more powerful than I will be needing in the foreseeable future.Therefore, I am staying put as far as the CPU, RAM and storage is concerned (i7-4790K CPU reverted back to the default Turbo'd speed, 32GB of RAM

I'm having major playback issues with premiere pro and my system. I purchased this system for 3D animation but thought that it should run premiere just fine. When I play any video files I get stuttering playback. I've tried placing the footage on thunderbolt drives/local storage and USB3 but to no avail. I tried changing the settings in premiere but no luck. Below are my specs. The only thing that I can think of is the the individual processor is slow. To note both 4k files and hd or lower resolutions all play at the same lagging rate. The playback even stutters with rendering the sequence.
