Video Hardware

Hi! I am going to buy a new pc and I would like some advice about cpu... what is better for video editing? I have read a lot of things but nothing clear about this.Thanks in advance

HelloMy system is: CPU: I7-4930K 6 core (12 hyperthreads), Asus X79-DELUXE, EVGA GTX 780 TI 3GB, Cheivtec 1200w PSU, Win 8.1 pro 64bit, PPro CS6, Win 8.1 Pro 64bit, Ram: KINGSTON Hyper 32GB KIT of 4 1.65V KHX21C11T3K4/32XYesterday i updated my Nvidia Geforce experience to latest Geforce Drivers to 398.82 (08.01.2018)and my Mercury Play Back engine stopped working ....any one knows whats wrong?Regards

So I am planning to buy a new laptop, so I can edit a few short films I have been working on. Here are the specs for it:HP Envy 17 Laptop - 17.3" Edge-to-Edge IPS TouchScreen Full HD (1920x1080), 8th Gen Quad-Core i7-8550U, 16GB DDR4, 1TB HDD, NVIDIA MX150, IR Camera, Backlit, Windows 10Is this a good laptop to run premiere pro for what I am trying to accomplish? Thank you in advance

I'm redoing the storage in my workstation PC and could use some advice on how best to utilize my resources. I have: - m.2 NVMe SSD 250GB - 2x 250GB WD BLUE SATAIII SSDs in RAID0- 4x 1TB 7200RPM HDDs in RAID10 My current plan is:- m.2 for my OS and pprogram- SSD RAID0 for scratch/cache and current project source files- HDD RAID10 for cold storage of completed projects. I keep hearing that you can see big performance gains by having your media cache/scratch folder off your OS drive, but I can't see how that remains true on an NVMe SSD capable of 3GB/s - 1.5GB/s read-write speeds .I could break up the SSD RAID and use one SSD for cache/scratch, one for current project source, use the m.2 for OS, and the HDD RAID10 for cold storage. But, I'm not sure which is more beneficial for PP and AE to see in terms of performance: individually addressable dedicated drives or raw IOPS performance? The nature of how SSDs pull data from flash memory makes me lean toward the latter.

Hi everybody.I recently download premiere pro, and rendered my first video on this pc. I noticed that my cpu usage was at 95%, and the gpu 1%. I'am 100% sure that i turned on CUDA core render, but it still doesn't use my gpu. My gpu drivers are up to date. Does anyone know what's wrong?.System:Windows 10 proAsus geforce 1060 3gb ocGigabyte g970a-ds3pAmd fx 6300 black editon16gb ram256gb ssd (Premiere pro)256gb hdd

Hi all,I'm trying to spec out a laptop for a customer and the Nvidia Quadro P3200 has come up as an option.  Now, this card is not listed under Adobe's systems spec page​, so I contacted online chat, only to be told:"As it is not listed it will not work."I explained to the agent that there is clear proof that the card does work:Nvidia page on it's collaboration with Adobe:     Adobe Creative Cloud Accelerated on NVIDIA GPUs|NVIDIABenchmark from Nvidia in collaboration with Adobe clearly listing the P3200:  https://images.nvidia.com/content/adobe/pdf/quadro-adobe-premier-pro-solution-overview-684906-us-r2-web.pdfPresented with this, the tone changed slightly to:     "as this graphics card is not listed you will face issues with Premier Pro CC application."Can someone from Adobe please give me a definitive answer on this?Will it work with Adobe Premiere Pro?Is it supported?In addition, if confirmed as supported, I'd appreciate it if an Ad

I currently have a: Lenovo Ideapad 320 Touchscreen, 15.6-Inch Laptop (Intel Core i7, 16 GB DDR4, 2TB HDD, Windows 10 Home), 80XN0002USIs the laptop powerful enough to run premiere pro or do I need to get another one?

Hello,I want to buy a new laptop. I'll mainly use it for Premiere Pro, After Effects and Photoshop. Should I rather buy a 7th or an 8th generation Intel processor?The 8th generation has more cores, but a lower clock speed. Will Adobe programmes profit from the extra cores? Or should I better choose for the higher clock speed?

The recent Premiere update pointed out improvements in speed for 7th gen or later Intel CPUs which got me thinking...is it time to upgrade my MB and CPU?I'll list my specs below and what it is I do regularly and any help/advice on upgrade vs. don't worry about it would be helpful.The Crash on 8-6-18:It's been a long time since I visited this forum. But a good crash will always make you rethink your hardware setup. After 3-4 good years on my build I had BOTH my OS drive (Samsung 850 Pro) crash and my 4TB RAID0 Striped HDD Media Drive crash on me at once. Both were unrecoverable. I knew the RAID0 might go, but the 850 Pro shocked me.- So after the crash I replaced my Media Drive and picked up a 2TB 860 Evo.- And I replaced my OS Drive and picked up a 860 Pro (so I don't have to wait for warranty replacement)So now my setup looks like this:Motherboard: Asus X99 DeluxeCPU: Intel 5960xRAM: 64GB (8 x 8GB ) G.Skill DDR4 2666 (PC4-21300)GPU: GTX 970OS Drive: 512 GB Samsung 860 Pro (NEW - repla

My research so far has lead me to the Dell XPS 9575 - though I'm concerned it only has 16GB RAM, with for £2,000+ doesn't give a very promising longevity, especially since it's soldered RAM (grrr) their 32GB option is delayed again (next year now!!) HP Studio x360 is allegedly the world's most powerful 2-in-1 now (I hope so at ~£3,000 for 32GB option) but I'm really unsure about Quadro. I've generally understood Quadro to be a load of shite and overpriced marketing hype for all but 1% of users. And even us professional Adobe editors don't fall into that 1%.By the way, before it tangents the conversation - No this wouldn't be my main edit suite. But sometimes I do need to pack extremely light and edit on the move (and 2-in-1 form factor is essential for me in a light laptop for a number of reasons, including using external keyboard + pen)

I have a graphics card that is compatible with GPU acceleration and I have GPU acceleration turned on in Settings.To try and see how Pr uses resources, I've had a system monitor open while rendering a recent project. The beginning of the project (~35-40 seconds) is all animation.  Assets were created in Ps, imported into Pr with motion added via the Effects panel in Pr.  These same assets are in different places on the timeline at various points in the film.Looking at the resource monitor, when these animation elements are being rendered, GPU use is high.  This makes sense.  GPU use then drops when standard video segments are being rendered.  This, too, makes sense.  The video card is a Radeon RX580 with 4GB of on card RAM.When it comes to the CPU, when rendering the animations, CPU use is high (90%+).  I've got an 8-core processor at 3.1 GHz with 16GB of RAM installed (not sure of the RAM clock speed).  When the rendering hits standard video seg

We have spent many months on testing render farm solutions on different Apple machines and while it was working ive now been convinced to move to PC.  We are currently running 2x Synology Rack 10Gbe units with dual 10Gbe connections to the VFX guys.Im now pricing up the Precision 7920 Rack Workstation in a dual 12core setup running a P6000 and 128gb ram as a baseline point to scale up from there.  What im having for is anyone with knowledge or experience with workflows using VM software in  render farm situation or any other system you can recommend?  We are investing 4k RAW footage into AE, using Neat Video, Real Motion Blur and Red Giant Keying Suite to output an image sequence EXR format that gets pulled into Davinchi Resolve and exported from there.  Our bottle neck is the AE render portion especially with Neat Video using GPU, if we take this out of the equation it speeds up considerable with the current farm.  Our thoughts were to have a seperate inv

Hello there, I am a freelance graphic designer that is in look for a new laptop. First thing worth mentioning is that I am backpacker that moves around a lot with just the bare minimal needed to live. I currently own a Windows laptop that has served me well for my first 3 years of taking freelancing as serious career. My current Specs are as follows:HP ENVY:     -Intel Core i7-6500 CPU @2.50GHz-2.59GHz     -8 GB RAM     -64-bit operating system     -Nvidia Geforce 930m graphics card     -1 TB HDDPhotoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, and Lightroom all work well but when I start venturing into Premiere Pro it starts lagging. I knew this from the begging (that I would see the flaws when I started venturing into video editing). Needless to say the time has come for an upgrade. I'm looking at both options for another Windows laptop or switching to a MacBook Pro. It is as commonly known fact that

Hi everybody!I'm in the market for a new laptop and I was hoping I could get some recommendations here.What I'm looking for is:* Windows based so no MacBooks. I'd also rather avoid Dell.* Runs comfortably with Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator.* No touch screen.* Under $1,000.Any recommendations? Thanks!

Hello everyone!I'm looking for a really good laptop for video editing that isn't from Apple. It can be expensive if it's the perfect one.I don't know a lot about computers but I need a great screen, graphics card, processor (Intel Core i7?) and memory. If it's not too heavy or too big that's even better!I use Premiere and Lightroom a lot, and will maybe work on Photoshop, After Effect or Indesign too. I want a laptop with room for the next video and app's updates  so I don't have to change it soon. Is the Dell XPS 15 a good option? Or a Thinkpad?Thank you for your answers...

I've read here that gpu works only in special cases (some effects), but everything is done by cpu.If there is a strong cpu (i7 8th generation) and no separate gpu, can I edit fhd / 4k video without jamming?The point is for me to edit. Smooth timeline, no lags. I have time to wait for the export.To sum up: a strong new cpu, many rams, ssd, NO gpu.What I would use: Premier Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Lightroom.Thanks for the reply. !

This isn't actually focused on video editing or any such activity.  But it is hardware related and may be of interest to the hardware geeks here.  Before we go too much further: I'm still actually stumped as to what's going on here.  I have a long-standing tier 2 case open with NVidia on it for more information, and they've not come back with anything useful yet.Let's dig in.  Again remember: this is NVidia GPU related, but not aimed at editors.  Just "geek" stuff.Fast DisplayBack in July, I picked up the new Asus PG27UQ display.  This is a 27" 4K display capable of pushing a 144Hz refresh rate.  Key for: gaming.  That is assuming you have the GPU(s) that can push 4K at high refresh rates.  And I do: a pair of overclocked Titan X Pascals.  Along with the new Asus, I grabbed 2 LG 4K/60Hz displays, and made it a trio.  Cool.Here's where the fun came in.  I have a second PC in my office that does video capture.  It has an El

Hi everyone!I could really use your help in choosing a good laptop for video editing and color grading. I want a laptop on which I can edit in Premiere Pro CC, After Effects CC and Davinci resolve comfortably. I know a desktop is my best shot but I need something mobile because Im often on the move. Im also not sure should I aim for a lot of RAM memory or a great processor or video card etc. I'll mostly edit HD footage and sometimes 4k. I would also be very thankful if you can specify what kind of processor ( how many cores,threads,ghz), how much RAM ( some people say 16gb is not enough) and what kind of GPU is enough in order to fulfill my needs. My budget is around 1500$ and maybe I can push a little bit more than that if really needed.Thank you all![Moderator note: moved to best forum.]

Same issue on my machine, except in the preview window, making editing a real pain.Specs as follows:AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950XZenith extreme Asus MoBo64GB gskil 3200 ddr4 in quad channel1080ti 11gb Graphics card1tb Samsung Evo Pro SSD250gb NVMe Scratch disk2 x 8TB Enterprise drives with access in excess of 250 MBpsI still get choppy frigging playback, I'm constantly dropping frames left right and center. Its ridiculous to expect that a machine of this caliber can't handle the preview in premiere. I've scoured the web for all the fixes and tried them to no avail. Whatever this bug is, Adobe needs to sort their shit out. Paying massive amounts of money so that we can get badly performing software is crazy. If its been happening since CS6 you would think they would have worked it out by now and that the remedy would have been clear.  [Moderator note: for clarity/best help, discussion branched and moved to the appropriate forum.]

Running Adobe Premiere CC2018 on my custom PC has been really buggy for me lately.  It crashes often, it's very laggy, sometimes it has a hard time even starting to play normal clips.  I'm working with some 60 fps footage, and some 4k footage.  Do I need to upgrade my hardware?  Here's what I'm working with:Windows 10 home edition64 bit operating systen, x64 based processorProcessor: Intel Core i7-3770k cpu @3.50GHz 3.50 GHzRam: 16 gb DDR3, 1600 MHz, 2 of 4 slots used, DIMM form factor, 47.1 mb hardware reservedHard drive: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 2TBGPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Motherboard: P8Z77-V Pro/ThunderboltI have CUDA turned on.[Moderator note: moved to best forum.]
