Video Hardware

I work primarily in Premiere, After Effects, and Photoshop. I have started using Dimension more recently as well. I would like to fluidly (as much as possible) be able to work with 3D spaces as well as the occasional 4k footage, which has caused my (NEW) workstation to crash on more than one occasion. At the moment, I have:CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v3 @ 3.50GHzRAM: 32 GBGPU: NVIDIA Quadro K2200

First off my system consists of this:CPU: Core I7 8700KRAM: 32GB 2400MHz DDR4GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1080STORAGE:500GB  Crucial MX500 SSD (system and apps)500GB Samsung 970 Pro NVMe SSD (Premiere project & content)500GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD (scratch disk)I have a sub 2min 4K Premiere project with little more than Lumetri colour adjustments that is taking 1 hour 45 min to export in .mp4  and I'm seeing CPU performance bounce between 20 – 30%.I have tried Bill Gehrke's benchmarks as best I can given they're meant for PC not MAC. Unfortunately I can't create an output.csv to show exact results but it was pretty obvious it was the Disk test that was crazy slow (over 11 minutes). Bill Gehrke​Any suggestions?

Hi there,About six months ago I asked a question on these forums about Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2018 not importing video correctly, but the audio from the file worked fine. I was told by multiple people that not only does my computer not have enough RAM, but my processor is inadequate for the requirements to run the program. I've tried doing research on this and I do think that with an investment, it might be possible to change my processor and buy RAM so that I will be able to use the software. However, I wanted to double check here and make it super clear exactly what I'm looking to do. Is it worth going through the process of changing these specs or should I just look into buying a completely new computer?Here are my specs:Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4200 CPU @ 1.60GHz 2.30 GHzInstalled memory (RAM): 6.00 GB (5.78 GB usable)System type: 64-bit Operating System, x-64-based processorFrom what I gathered, I need to go from an i5-4200 CPU to an i5-4950 CPU. I also need to add about 16G

I am looking a buying the aforementioned laptop, and will be running Premiere Pro on it.  Keep in mind, I am only using it for personal use and hobbying.My main questions/concerns are:Is the screen resolution size fit to run Pr?Is the quad-core processor up to speed enough to run Pr?Here is the link to the website - HP ENVY x360 Laptop - 15" Touch Screen (1ZA23AV_1) | HP® ENVY I will probably go with the 16gb RAM option, as it would give me some space to work with.Any tips and comments will be appreciated.ThanksDaniel

so i want to get a new computer. im looking at the 2011 21.5in imac. but im not sure if it will be good for video editing. here are the specs of the machine 201121.5 in screen sizeintel core i7 2.8ghz  8gb of ram (Should i upgrade the ram?) 1tb of hdd storage OS X High Sierrais this good enough for editing 1080p videos or should i look at something different. or just upgrade certain parts like ram  

Just building a new pc...and all over the Internet I keep reading and hearing about having multiple SSD's for OS, Scratch disks, Media and Project files etc. etc.But I'm curious has anyone ever actually tested this? Or is this just what everyone keeps telling everyone else?ie. I wonder if purchasing one high quality SSD and then a large Media Regular HDD...would effectively do just as well as these multi SSD setups?Has anyone here actually compared the performance? Thanks for any shared experiences...either primary or secondary sources.Thank you.

Which processor, which will allow at least 128 GB RAM will give the best performance in After Effects?What about the Xeon W-2155 vs the i9-7900X vs the i7-7820X?Would the Xeon W-2155 have the lowest heat when under load (it seems it might from the puget systems thermal image) and would that mean less fan noise and maybe greater reliability, and maybe more time at a high turbo speed? The Xeon also seems to support more RAM (eg. one site allows it to be configured ot 256 GB. The intel site says it actually supports up to 512 GB). While it's more expensive than the other 2, the advantages could be it may be more reliable, less noisy. Maybe running cost (electric) could be lower?What about speed comparisons between all 3?What are your thoughts on all 3 or other processors (that support 128 GB RAM) for After Effects work etc.?

Which will work best in Premiere Pro?1)EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 ELITE GAMING RED 2) ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 TI STRIX3)NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

Hello everyone, I'm starting a Youtube channel, and will be doing video editing (1080p 60fps with possibly some 4K), using Premiere Pro and After Effects. I plan to shoot with a Panasonic Lumix G7. I'm considering which laptop to purchase. I have included my budget, the desired specs, and the products that I am considering. If you could let me know if I'm on the right track, or if have any constructive feedback, I would really appreciate it!Budget: $1000-$1500Specs: Intel Core i7 8th Gen 8750H (2.20 GHz), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, 16 GB Ram Memory, 256 GB SSD drive, 1TB 7200 RPM HDD driveAnother consideration is screen quality and resolution. As I will be doing video and some photo editing, it would be great if the screen was high quality, (1920x1080 seems to be standard, but I am wondering if I should go for 3840 x 2160)Products I am considering:HP Envy - this has a 17.3 4K screen which I love, but only has a GTX 1050 graphics card - Is it critical that I go with at least 1060? Is it t

Does Mercury Engine work with the new Mac Pro Dual AMD FirePro D700?

I just upgraded my computer to an i7 7820x to speed up editing and upgraded to the latest version of Premiere Pro.Upon opening it for the first time, when the Adobe intro video starts, I get a BSOD right away with a general "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR" and the computer restarts.When opening a project, everything seems to be working fine, except the tiltler: every single time I adjust the properties of a title (shadow, transparency, size, etc) I get a blue screen of death.I tried everything: clean re-installation of windows, different drivers, older versions of GPU drivers. The computer always crashes on adjusting titles.I also tried gaming like crazy (to put the system under intense stress) and everything works fine, so I think it's not a computer issue but a problem with Premiere Pro.Now I'm stuck and I cannot proceed with my work.My configuration is as follows:Intel i7 7820xGigabyte X299 UD432Gb ram1Tb M.2 SSDNvidia GTX 980 TiLatest version of Premiere Pro as of 13 august 2017Thanks.

As above, I've tried everything, updating GPU, 1080 ti, updating premiere, adding supported cards text file to folder, and still always has the gpu acceleration feature greyed out in render "not available". Any help would be tremendously appreciated as this is affecting my career lol.

I have been trying to set up computer that we upgraded twice, trying to resolve not getting a fluid live feed in the editing monitor, and now have a Intel i8-8700 processor with 500GB SSD and NVidia GTX 1080 Ti liquid cooled card and Premier Pro CC still stutters and does not show live feed in monitor, making editing impossible. what is wrong? out old computer did as well and it is 10 years old. here are complete specs on the new computer that still stutters.HP OMEN Gaming PC (Intel Core i7-8700K/2TB HDD/512GB SSD/16GB RAM/GTX 1080 Ti/Windows 10) - English : Gaming Desktop Com…Please tell me what I am missing in the program settings. yes the scratch file is on the SSD , what will cure this problemThanking all who help me.[Moderator note: moved to best forum.]

Hello, I have to renew my pc soon.Currently equipped with a 6700k 1080gtx HDD4To 32gb Ram 2400mhz.I have mounted projects (5 hours rush, for clip max 10min) of 4k Prores 4444 XQ Arri and 5k R3D I thought a config like that 7940x motherboard ASUS about 400 dollars, two SSD 970 Pro of 500 go each for the rush and a small 860 evo 250go for the bone. Possibly change the graphics card later in 2019 by the news (if possible Ti).I use mainly Adobe Premiere and from time to time After Effect (but really only once in the year) I need something fluid, not necessarily in full quality but pleasant.Did you think that this is coherent as editing?Is the speed and quantity of Ram adequate?For $ 2500 do you think there is a better compromise (power supply, motherboard, processor, SSD, cooling)?I have to go for a quote, I would like to have your expertise to know a little about what I'm talking about, then I'll come back to the forum with the proposal that I get from the computer scientist (I know this

Hi,Does anyone use the Microsoft Surface Studio? and if so, could you tell me if it's fully compatible with Adobe Creative cloud?(Like the extra tools the use with the studio, pen and magnetic turn device).Best regards,Hessel

I'm coming from PP on osx with a 12 core mac pro and a raid with 4 disks pushing 300 MB/s.Prores performance was butter smooth, 4K raw playback and editing was possible without issues.Now I switched platforms to a much more modern system but scrubbing and overal timline performance is far from satisfying... I just don't get what's wrong.The playhead from the timeline is sluggish when scrubbing, I don't see all the frames, it constantly skips frames giving a choppy preview when scrubbing (with DNX footage). There is also a lot of lag between the mouse pointer itself and the playhead line.Playback has no issues so far. It improves slightly when minimizing the timeline tracks to the min height.But is this a bug? Because I put together a beast of a system that should shred this kind of light workload.My disk IO:   OS NameMicrosoft Windows 10 ProVersion10.0.16299 Build 16299Other OS Description Not AvailableOS ManufacturerMicrosoft CorporationSystem NameWINDOWS-EDITSystem Manufact

Hello- would love some advice as I am researching my spec requirements for a custom PC build.I work mainly with inDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. A single project requires that I utilise all these programs, and for my work to flow I need to have them all open at the same time. I also work with some pretty large files, do a lot of research during the projects running 2 or 3 browsers with 40+ tabs open, play music etc.Just to make things interesting I would also like to be able to do video editing and effects in the near future so it would be great to future proof if possible...I'm looking at either an Intel i7 8086k limited edition 6 core at 4Ghz (5Ghz turbo) or possibly the intel Core X Series i9 7900X 10 Core 3.3Ghz (4.3Ghz Turbo)I can find loads of speed tests that tell you which would be the best option (more cores or more speed) for each individual Adobe program you may use (whether they are even capable of utilising more cores obviously) but I can't find anything that tells me
