Hi,We're looking at the following spec that is purely for working with After Effects and Cinema 4D (we have a separate high core render machine).Case: CORSAIR CRYSTAL SERIES 460X RGB GAMING CASEProcessor: (CPU)Intel® Core™i7 Six Core Processor i7-8700k (3.7GHz) 12MB Motherboard: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 7: ATX, LG1151, USB 3.1, SATA 6GBs - RGB Memory (RAM): 64GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3000MHz (4 x 16GB)Graphics Card: 12GB NVIDIA TITAN Xp - HDMI, 3x DP GeForce - GTX VR Ready!1st Hard Disk: 4TB Samsung 850 EVO 2.5" SSD, SATA 6Gb/s (upto 540MB/sR | 520MB/sW)2nd Hard Disk: 6TB SATA-III 3.5" HDD, 6GB/s, 7200RPM, 128MB CACHEDVD/BLU-RAYWe did also look at the new iMac Pro's, but the Radeon Vega 64 performs badly compared to the Titan, which seems best on all metrics (https://techgage.com/article/a-look-at-amds-radeon-rx-vega-64-workstation-compute-performance/2/)It's tricky finding a machine that is good for both After Effects and C4D, and there's a lot of information out there!Thanks

I am looking to purchase the new iMac Pro but don't know how many cores I need. At the moment, I am planning to go with 10-core, 64GB RAM, Vega 64.Anyone have an idea as to how much power will be utilized for playback/rendering?Thank you![Moderator note: moved to best forum.]

I find myself these days having just one laptop which is the Lenovo Ideapad 120s with 30 gb storage of which from the day I bought it brand new it says 28 gb are already used .I guess I cannot use this laptop with Adobe at least for photoshop or is there a way around this? I assume I cannot use the SD storage slot:/Online I read that this version of lenovo doesnt upgrade to more HDD storage either:/

Gday,I am running a EVGA GTX 1060 FTW+ active with an EIZO CS2730. I need to set up two things:1. Have a 10 bit workflow2. Set up a correct rec709 color space to work inIs anyone experienced in that workflow? I am using my system for video editing and color grading within premiere pro CC 2017. I am running windows 10 pro with the latest nvidia driver.Does my graphic card support 10 bit? Only the displayport?Also what are the correct rec709 values? EIZO ColorNavigator software does not realy have a rec709 preset installed so I found this:Rec. 709 Reference DisplayIs that the correct one?I run through the calibration process with ColorNavigator and SPYDER 5 PRO. Looks fine so far. But did I use the correct profile or shall l calibrate manually? But where do i get the correct color profile settings? There are some discussion about the correct gamma or 2.2 or 2.6 and other values which is a bit confusing.Really appreciate some advise. Thanks, Alex

Hello! I need a great laptop to run Premiere Pro and Photoshop CC. I primarily edit simple actors' reels in Premiere and do retouching in Photoshop. Will of the laptops that are Amazon Prime-able work for me? Would love links. Thanks so much in advance for your speedy help!

So ... what's the best advice for setting up a PC for making 5.1 sound out of PrPro?External USB device like the Behringer FCA 610, as mentioned on the Audition forum (to then mate individual outputs with a receiver's multichannel ins) ... 5.1 sound card to mate up with the recievers ins ... what?I know PrPro can be picky when it comes to audio ins/outs & hardware.Neil

I've been getting BSOD's when I try to backup my raid.  It's a raid 3. on areca 12238i. 3x8tb seagate ironwolf.I've pasted the system event log details below. It seems that something weird is going on with one of the drives, and the raid controller sends a reset, but then errors.  I dont understnand why if there's a drive issue the controller isn't reporting the array as degraded. the smart stats for one drive are questionable (smart read error rate 50(44)).  But the raid still reports no media errors.  Once it's error the drive becomes inaccessible, there are hundred's of that topmost error, then it reboots. any help would be hugely appreciatedLog Name:      SystemSource:        DiskDate:          11/02/2018 6:20:07 PMEvent ID:      15Task Category: NoneLevel:         ErrorKeywords:  &nbs

Hey all,So my work got me a Dell Precision 7520 to edit on, which has a Radeon Pro WX 4130. I've been editing some light projects with it and it's been fine, but on my latest project I had some more intense work going into it and I noticed it was rendering very slowly. So I went to check and see if Mercury Playback was enabled and it's currently set to 'Software Only' with the drop down grayed out so I can't set it to utilize OpenCL rendering like I would assume my WX 4130 would support. Any ideas on how to fix this?My Laptop has '2' graphics cards because of the Integrated Graphics on the Intel chip (Intel HD Graphics 630), so I think Premiere is using that as a primary graphics chip. The laptop is supposed to have 'swappable graphics' under the settings, but no matter what I set my performance mode to, it doesn't seem to take advantage of the Radeon card.I tried disabling the 630 via device manager, which did then give me the option to enable OpenCL, but Premiere crashes almost immed

Hallo zusammen.

Mike Irish sent me a link to this KitGuruTech video today.  If you go to about the 6:30 minute mark, you'll see him test the same bit of video with three video cards, starting with GTX980, and then a GTX1080Ti and finally a Vega 64 Sapphire.  If you ignore the fist result in the table below, which is from a different system, the results are remarkably close, and based on this, you'd have to think carefully before spending serious money upgrading a 900 series card to a 1000 series card.  It might be that his testing regime was flawed, and I don't know how you'd be able to tell that from the information in the video, but it is food for thought on the face of it.I am sure Bill has done similar tests, and will have his own set of results, and I am also sure that Bill's findings would hold more credibility.

Hi I think i have massively messed up. I have bought an IMac mid 2007 via an offer to run photoshop CC 2018. However, when i start to do anything it freezes. Reading more, i think it may not have the memory needed to run the program. It has 4GB RAM.Have i been stupid, i assume? And can i increase the RAM or is it a case of returning it altogether if i need photoshop?Thanks

Need to build a new desktop for AE and Premiere in dynamic link, and looking for recommendations for 4k sfx capable workstation. My current desktop is now 3yrs old and bumping up ram to Ddr3 32G has not improved preview or render speeds for complex projects.Looking at 128G Ram, m2 NVMe drives, Gpu nvidia 1080 ti or Titan, dual or single cpu? mb?Was looking at benchmark tests on Puget Systems site yet all their tests are only with 16G of RAM, which is not enough for any specialised production work which kinda invalidates their tests.From those tests I was looking at an Intel 8700 cpu, however socket 1151 boards only have 4 ram slots.Really appreciate some advise here!

Hello guysI want to upgrade my system but my question is:Need After Effects more Cores or higher GHz to Render fast as possible?Or is both of them important?I mean a CPU like an Intel Xeon Processor E5-2699 v4 (2,20 GHz / turbo: 3,60 GHz)Or Intel Core i7-7820X (3,60 GHz / turbo: 4,30 GHz)Xeon: Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2699 v4 (55M Cache, 2.20 GHz) Produktspezifikationen Core X: Intel® Core™ i7-7820X X-series Processor (11M Cache, up to 4.30 GHz) Produktspezifikationen My System: (Today)Intel Core I7 4790K 4GHz 4Cores32GB RamNvidea GeaForce GTX 980 tiSSD m2 512GBCan you advise me?  

Finally a confirmation on this cardGTX 1080 Graphics Card | GeForceit looks like an absolute beast and not overly expensive - looking forward to trying it. is there any reason why it wont be supported in PR?CheersGareth

Well this sucks.Combined my old rig with some new parts to make a new workstation PC and Premiere literally won't run. It freezes at opening/making a project and nothing will work.Here's a brief screencap video i recorded showing the problem in action. I've left Premiere alone in this Not Responding state for as much as 30 or more minutes with nothing changes. It can use 400-500MB of RAM or 4-6GB of RAM. No consistency. CPU and RAM usage is unchanging as it sits there. While open, Premiere is utilizing 2 random CPU threads at 100%This is a fresh Windows 10 x64 installation. Full "Fall Creators Update" latest public updates.Things I have tried:Clearing the cache files (there aren't any, new Windows install)Updating GPU drivers (on the latest, new Windows Install)Switching Premiere from CUDA to Software mode when making a new projectOpening old projectschanging the cache location before making a new projectchanging Cache and scratch location before making a new projectChanging target loc

Hello,I am trying to reduce the time it takes to export a video in premier cc... I have added a NVidia GeForce GT 730 2GB video card..... most recently I upgraded the memory from 16GB to 32GB... I rendered the same 5 min video clip before and after adding the additional memory and to my surprise the render time took 3 times LONGER with no other changes.  HELP.  What am I doing wrong?[Moderator note: moved to best forum.]

I'm going to buy a new computer for After Effects. I've tested my ancient PC (i5-750 OC 4.1 GHz, GTX 1060 6GB, 20GB RAM, SSD 850 PRO) as they did in this article. Especially I'm very interested to know performance comparison for 1080 Ti and Vega 64 on Windows and on Mac. If you have these gpu cards It would be great if you can post your results of these tests here. My tests are below:Cuda enabled, 32 bit, Caps Lock on, purged all memory before every test, (i7-6900k, 1080 from the article/My PC).RAM Preview5K - 52 sec; 2.89 (compare to 1080)The People's Template - 682 sec; 1.97 (90% correct value: not enough ram for full preview)Fiber Particles - 109 sec; 1.65Render5K - 67 sec; 2.91The People's Template - 680 sec; 1.79Fiber Particles - 111 sec; 1.56The new $5,633 PC or nearly $10k Mac Pro is just from 1.56 to 2.91 times faster than mine. Actually I expected to see 10 times difference or more...
