Video Hardware

Hello everyone,I hope someone can help me with the issues I've been having.Recently I build myself a new rig with these specifications:CPU: Ryzen 1700 (no overclock present)GPU: Asus Strix RX 470 4GBRAM: 2 x 8GB Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX @2666MhzMobo: Asus Prime X370-ProSSD: Samsung 960 256GB <--- Where I edit my footage fromLatest Adobe Premiere Pro CC build is installedI made a new project (about 1 minute length) with test footage in the .R3D format, and tried to export that footage with some color correction applied and some basic video transitions in between. The playback was pretty awful and would stop half way most of the time. I was using GPU acceleration (openCL) the entire time and the playback was choppy at best. The real problem started to happen when I tried exporting this project using the media encoder program. Encoding this 1 minute timeline took a whopping 45 minutes using openCL, whereas my older intel build with these speccs;CPU: i7 4790kGPU: intel HD4600 (integra

Some client from work wants to upres? dont ask me why older betacam (480i) footage to 1080 35 mbps xdcam--is there even a capture card for that?What can I tell this guy?I remember back in the day there was matrox, canopus and bluefish 4 4 4--are there any capture cards out there that will capture HD?Thanks kindlyTony

At our production house we have 2 workstations both with the same specsIntel Xeon E5-2660 v3 @ 2.60GHz 10 Core 20 Threads64GB of Ram 2133MHzNvidia Quadro K5200 8GBThey have never been as fast as they should be even when just editing HD footage, and it's very laggy with 4k or video with graphics layed on top.Any ideas why they may be, one of the workstations is faster than the other which is odd as they are identical.

I need a laptop around $1100. Precision 15 7000 Series (7510) is a workstation laptop but doesn't seem to have the fastest GPU.Dell 15.6" Inspiron 15 7000 and Acer Predator Helios 300 seem to be very similar. Acer has GeForce GTX 1060-6GB and Dell has GeForce GTX 1060-6GB with Max-Q. So Acer is better here. But Dell also has USB 3.1 Type-C (Thunderbolt). Will the GTX 1060-6GB be much better the Max-Q version?My priority is performance.

Dell Inspiron 5567 Laptop - Intel Core i7-7500U, 15.6 Inch HD, 2TB, 16GB, 4GB AMD R7 M445, Win 10Above are the specs.I was wonderign whether the same would suffice for Running After Effects, Illustrator and Photoshop without glitches and need to not have any time lag and such.

We have a late 2013 model of the MacPro with the following specs. 3.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E512 GB 1866 MHz DDR3This is our main computer for graphics and to edit videos. We only use input and output 1080 and occasionally 4k for our drones that we use in video projects. We rely heavily on after effects and premiere for video editing. We also design magazines, newsletters and prints using photoshop, indesign and lightroom which currently houses over 150,00 photos. Since several months ago, we've been piping through alot more intensive graphics and videos and the render times and saving have been sluggish. We're looking in the market of no more then 5,500 for a new top of the line Mac computer. What's avaialbe? Recommendations please..

Hi there - I've been trying to get some answers to what kind of system I would need to run AE on other forums, but eventually realised I should come here. I'm going for my first build (rather excited about it), but I don't have mega-money to splash around. I'm going to be doing pretty basic stuff with AE - 2d animation for explainer videos, infographics, that sort of thing - so no heavy-duty video rendering. After a few changes, the system I have in mind is this:i7 7700k 4.2ghz (originally went for a Ryzen, but I hear multi-coring isn't so important with AE these days so I switched to brute core speed - is this still correct, and likely to remain so?)GTX 1050 ti, as I heard graphics card is not so important - think this will be sufficient?Gigabyte GA-Z270 motherboard16gb (2x8) G.Skill Ripjaws V RAM - I know AE eats RAM for breakfast and many serious AE folks may laugh at such a low amount, but with the extortionate price of RAM right now... Do you think it will be sufficient for my (ba

Hi there,I have to buy a new machine !I'm working most the time with After effect and Cinema 4D. I read some reviews about the new Imac pro 2017. It makes dream.But my question is about the value. I work mainly for motion design with sometimes 3D. My question is it's better to buy like a Imac 27'', 4,2GHz, 32Go, for about 2900 euros or going to have the new "basic" Imac pro 2017, 4,2GHz turboboost, 32Go, with the new vega graphic card for 4900 euros. I say to myself that maybe the imac pro will be useful for more consequent projects in the future (like more big 3D project). So someone could help me about it ? 🙂Thank you very much

Computer: Acer Aspire V 15 Nitro ( bought it 6 months ago new for $2000 )Ram: 16gInternal Storage: 1TB HDD & 250 SSDExternal Storage: Samsung T5 500 SSD ( connected via usb 3.1 )Adobe Premiere installed on internal 250 SSDIt just seems that every time I spend more than 5 minutes editing in Premiere there is ALWAYSa problem. Usually it either crashes or starts not responding, even on VERY simple tasks. And I'mat the point now where I dread editing anything.I always edit from the external SSD, is that a problem? would I be better off editing from my internalHDD, as there is about 900gb free?

I use Premier to edit, mostly my own HD footage. Currently HD, but would like to be 4K ready is case a client demands it. I also plan to start using AE and also want to be able to commission motion graphics work to bring into projects. I had settled on the Dell XPS 8930, but the memory is only 16GB and although they sell additional (but don't install it) it's not available for a couple more months. So, do I need something of that spec?8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-8700, 16GB,DDR4,2666MHz up to 64GB, (upgraded to 32GB)256GB M.2 PCIe x4 SSD + 4TB 7200 rpm Hard DriveNVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1070 with 8GB GDDR5 Graphics MemoryI have also started looking at machines on Overclockers.I'm not confident to build my own machine and my head is spinning about what to do, but I do need to buy something soon, as CC won't run properly on my old edit machine, do am carrying on with 5.5 on that one at the moment.Finally, is Meltdown and Spectre an issue?Sorry for long post and thank you 🙂

I paid a deposit from my 7900X build at the end of October last year, but the components are taking forever to arrive.  Just before Christmas the builder was just waiting for the motherboard, an ASRock Fatal1ty x299 Professional Gaming i9, and I thought surely it would have turned up by today when they opened after the Christmas break.  No such luck.  My builder's supplier is apparently still waiting, which means nothing. OK this is New Zealand, and I did ask them to change to the XE version with the bigger VRM heatsink, but what the heck?  Newegg NZ shows it in stock and even mentions a limit of five per customer, so what could be causing the hold up?Anyway, excuse my rant, but I felt the need to vent, but I'd appreciate feedback on other people's experience with ASRock X299 boards.

Hi everyone,Should I choice Geforce Titan X or 1070 for VFX and 2D MotionGraphic ?Im not playing game and Just for working. I am filmmaking, Frequently making vfx and 2D Film.I see the link compare: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 vs GeForce GTX TITAN X , the Titan X performance is less than 1070 and 1060But my friend suggest Titan X performance smooth for VFX and 2D more than 1070.TITAN X384 bit - 12gb ram - 3072 Cuda1070256 bit - 8Gb ram - 1920 CudaThank You !Message was edited by: luu phu

I am considering purchasing the Panasonic camera for several projects, which will be edited in PP CC 2018. I am aware of the issues with bringing in Dolby audio files but was wondering if there are any other issues with file compatibility. I intend to shoot in both 4k and HD (mov & mp4 files).Thanks in advance!

I'm about to return my laptop I have now for a stronger machine because this one is dealing with errors with premiere and has a dedicated graphics card but looks like it's not compatible with Premiere pro. Looks like it's actually a very new graphics card so I don't think alot of things will be compatible with it. My graphics card is the AMD Ryzen Vega I believe.My question is, do I need to have a laptop that has a graphics card from this list and only this list?Adobe Premiere Pro System Requirements I don't want to buy another laptop that has a graphics card that isn't compatible again.

I am going to purchase a new desktop computer and a 4k camcorder.  What requirements are needed to edit 4k video in Premiere 2018?[Moderator note: moved to best forum.]

Hi guysA little off track, but wonder if I can pick your brains.Since moving from tape based to fully digital, my storage is under real pressure. As a contingency, I am using external 4tb HDDs, like WD My Passport or Elements. But I’m concerned they are not the full answer. I’ve heard they may not be 100% reliable over time (especially if used sporadically), so I can’t use those as archives for my key material.so, can I ask what reliable storage/ archive solutions do you guys use/ suggest?Regards,Graham

im buying a computer to use premier pro, but wanted to confirm a Radeon a6 card is good enough to support it? it's not on the sites recommended card list for system requirements. But I thought since those cards are listed as reccomended, not required, this might be ok. Any opinions to help?[Moderator note: moved to best forum.]

So here's a weird one that I can't find anything on. In both PP and AE if the my headphones disconnect then the RAM preview stops playing. It renders (green bar fills and memory is being used) but doesn't play and jumps forward a single frame in the program window when you pause it. My headphones have a really cruddy port that disconnects and reconnects with small  movement, so it happens a lot, and I know it's not the headphones because it occurs no matter what device I use.I hope this isn't normal behavior, if it is let's fix it, I can see studios switching their gear around mid project to play to the room vs headphones and having it crash from this issue. It's been an issue for me since late 2016 I believe, which is when I began using Adobe. I have no idea what info to post that could help, I have the latest cc, although currently finishing a project in ae 17.2, but it still happens in 2018 version. Let me know what I can do to help!

Hey there, not an expert so would just like some 'real world advice' if that's ok... re setting up kit.I was going to set up a RAID 5 on an older machine, replicating what I have at work.4 sata 1TB on raid 5 -old machine, giving solid read speeds of about 230mbs.Blackmagic disk speed test software.So then I hopped on to amazon and saw...https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-inch-Solid-State-Drive/dp/B00P738MUU/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1515167087&sr=1-1&keywords=850%2Bevo%2B250&th=1Single SSD giving read speeds of 540mbsSo in the real world is the 540mbs halved ? It would cost me the same to buy the cheap HDs as the SSD, if it can perform the same...Just for DATA, this drive, OS on another SSD and backup,cache etc on a usb drive.Thanks A

I started by trying to fit the requirements inAdobe Premiere Pro System Requirements to a new laptop purchase (for under ($1K) but it was too cumbersome looking up the video card and finding it unlisted in the the system reqts for premiere pro. I did this for 20 laptops all with i7 processors and a base speed of at least 2.5 ghz with sufficient ram and memory. But they had cards that were not in the list.My old Toshiba had Intel HD graphics card but cant find the exact number. I find several prospects with Intel HD Graphics 620 but this is not on the reqts list.I'm wondering if there is a better way of finding the right match..........or if it's going to cost too much to buy a computer that can use Premiere Pro.

i'm on a budget. i was looking at an iMac with these specs. My question is would it be good enough to edit with?Specs:Screen: 21.5in 1080pProcessor: 2.8ghz Intel Core i7Ram: 8gb 1333mhz ddr3 (Should i upgrade the ram)Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512mb[Moderator note: moved to  best forum.]

Hi everyone, I have a question for asus owners specially who have such a model as I "ASUS ROG STRIX GL702VM-GC128T 17.3" possibly have similar specifications:Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ Processor 2.8 GHzNVIDIA GeForce GTX1060 GDDR5 6GBDDR4 8GB RAM1TB 7200RPM 2.5' HDD + 128GB M.2 SSDAnd here is a question regarding graphics processing and possible rendering of movies, in 4K quality. How this laptop should deal with exported film in programs such as Adobe AE or premiere?? Do you have any experience !? The best settings for optimization?as an example, I will say that yesterday, for example, rendering a movie about 10 minutes the film was rendered to the quality of 1080 full HD about one hour and up to 2.7 k, which is the final material like the raw file about 2 hours. here is my question because it seems to me that it was very long ... Is it still a matter of any configuration? Whether the hardware specification does not allow for faster rendering
