Video Hardware

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

Estoy por invertir en una nueva maquina para edicion, y en muchos sentidos prefiero el Sistema Operativo de Mac, pero no he recibido muy buenos comentarios sobre su funcionamiento en relacion al pack de Adobe.Sobre todo hago uso de Premiere Pro, y priorizo tener una buena velocidad para los Previews.¿Hay alguien que tenga consejos en relación a experiencias previas?Las opciones de computador que he armado son las siguientes, si pueden aconsejarme de manera más específica (más de uno son usados, solo la PC sería nueva ya que el presupuesto es acotado).Desde ya, muchas gracias.1.IMAC 21.5 2.7 Core I5 - 1 TBImac 21.5 inch - Late 2013Procesador 2.7 GHz Intel Core I5Memoria 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3Intel Iris Pro 1536 MBCapacidad 1TB2.MAC Mini 20142,6 GHz Core i5Memoria 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3Intel Iris Pro 1536 MBCapacidad 1TB3.CPU intel core i5 7400MB asus s1151memoria ddr4 4gb 2400 mhzssd 120 gbhd int 1 tb sata-IIIPlaca de video asus rx 560 2gb ddr5

So after six years, either my processor or a memory slot on my mobo is failing.  I know a LOT has changed in 6 years, and I am way out of shape but trying to get up to speed fast and am feeling a little overwhelmed, hoping to get some good advice here, much as I did way back when from Harm, Eric, Bill and others.My needs right now are to cut 4k a7sii and 4k drone footage with LUT's and Lumetri effects. PPro is my main focus, occasional light AE and PS work, but nothing special. After pulling the mobo and processor (Asus p9x79Pro and i3930 overclocked) here's what I own and have to work with:Antec V3 1200 full towerCorsair HX 1050 gold power supplyAsus GeForce  GTX 1060 6gb (about a year old)Asus BD burnerCoolermaster 212 EvoSata and firewire cards (for legacy material)For my HD's, I have mostly WD black's (one Hitachi is in there somewhere) for OS, Projects, Exports, Backup, Media Cache, and 2 WD 64gb 1TB's in a RAID 0 for my media.I am thinking about:GIGABYTE x299 AORUS GAMI

I'm in the process of cobbling together a recommendation for my work on the new iMac Pros and am looking for max RAM supported in CC, specifically InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop.  I work in grand format design and printing and need something with some heft to since a lot of files are multiple GBs. TIA

My 2012 MBPR with an i7, 256gb SSD and 8 gigs of ram suffers from the known gpu issue of mbp’s from that era as well as random battery shutdowns. it is out of warranty and out of that program to fix the gpu which expired in dec 31. As such I’m looking at my options..needs: edit 1080p H264, 4k (in the future) without hookup, able to color grade with at least one adjustment layer without gpu glitching.Budget: ideally for a laptop I would like to be around $1000 but honestly I’ve seen some decent specced gaming laptops on eBay used for $600-800. I’m not opposed to a desktop in the future but I’m really wanting a laptop.Any mid-low budget recommendations? At this point it seems from hat I’ve read that the apple machines aren’t cutting it with premiere anymore. My experience seems to match that. Even with the 5-20 minute films/videos I make the performance is laggy and color grading performance is terrible.Thoughts?

Hi all,Please don't point me to the Adobe page for minimum system requirements.  I'm not looking for a computer that will just minimally run the software.  I want performance to be reasonably acceptable.I bought a laptop about three years ago, and while I'm sure you're thinking that 3 years is a long time, it doesn't seem (from my perhaps non-techie view) that specs have gotten a lot better since then.   I have 16 GB RAM and an Intel i7 processor, and the top laptops nowadays still come with 16 GB of RAM and an i7.However, the Adobe Creative Cloud software products (Lightroom Photoshop CC) have started to get slower on my computer and I don't know if it's because my hardware is insufficient, or some other reason.  I've used some "cleaner" software like Revo uninstaller to get rid of junk, so I think the computer is relatively clean.I'm starting to do more video work, but before I buy Premiere, I would like real-world opinions on whether I need a new laptop or n

Using Premiere (and Audition) CC 2018 on macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 (Mac Pro 5,1 and MacBook Pro).  Curious what current hardware solutions people are using to monitor and mix surround and multi-channel audio?  Looking for USB 2 or USB 3 solutions (not Thunderbolt) that would allow mapping to each speaker for 5.1 or 7.1 setups.  Searching through forums and only finding old posts referencing fairly outdated and unavailable hardware.  Unfortunately, HDMI embedded audio out solutions will not work and would like to avoid Toslink S/PDIF through a receiver.

Hello!I am putting together the specifications of a new computer for running Adobe software, primarily Premiere Pro and After Effects. I'm trying to put together a well-balanced, stable machine for editing 1080HD H264 videos, while having the option to work with 4K in limited amounts if needed down the road.Basically, I'm looking for something solid that will be able to edit multi-layered 1080 projects with some effects added without dropping frames, but I don't want to go overboard on a machine that offers way more power than I intend to use. Does this build look like a nice balance?

I received an Acer Swift 3 with an i5 processer and 8gb of RAM at Christmas.  While editing in Premiere, the preview is lagging quite a bit and I have tried to make small animations in After Effects and it was projecting that it would take four hours to render about a 10 second clip.  I'm considering returning the Acer to get a laptop that can handle Adobe Premiere.  I am currently looking at a Dell New Inspiron 15 5000 with  an i7 processor and 16gb of Ram.  The Dell Inspiron is about $800 and that's the most I can spend.  Is there anything else within that price range that would work better?        Thanks for any input!

Hi Everyone.I'm sure this topic gets beat to death so I apologize in advance for re-hashing this stuff but I'm just looking for a little guidance here.My goal is to decrease export times and increase general performance in read/writes across multiple drives.  From the little bit of reading I've done here I'm starting to realize that premiere might just be one of the most complicated programs I've had to deal with to get 'right' in terms of utilizing  multiple hard drives to increase performance.Please understand we are on a budget.   For now I will say that we are stuck with the hardware we have unless the financial situation changes at which point I can build a dedicated editing computer.   Until then......Processor: Intel i7 920 2.4GHZ 4 core.mobo:          MSI  X58-M  The north bridge of the chipset is running an Intel ICH10 controller for the drives.Ram : 6 banks which hold 3 dimms of 2GB 1333mhz a

Hi everyone,I've been searching through this forum for a few days now and I realize that this kind of thread pops up very often, so... sorry ! Nevertheless, since I have never used Premiere Pro and am new to video editing, I'd like to ask people who actually know all that stuff if one of those 2 laptops would be able to edit UHD footage (25p @ 100mbps) from my Panasonic G7 :1.

I realize a desktop PC would do a much better job for the same price tag, but

how much memory must my pc have to use properly Adobe premiere pro? Other technical demands?

I have a Igear KVM switch allowing me to use 2 Pcs for video and photo editing. It was working fine until I bought a new Microsoft Classic IntelliMouse. I was looking for improved resolution over my 10 year old mouse. The cursor moves but it can go horizontally only. When I reinstall the old generic Dell mouse it works fine.

Hello!I have bought NVIDIA 1080ti card, but in the Adobe support told be, that there is bug (can't suport GPU acceleration during decoding) in current Adobe Premiere Pro + current NVIDIA drivers. This bug will be fixed in the next NVIDIA drivers and next  Adobe Premiere release, which will come near to the Christmas holidays.Can anybody recommend me AMD Radeon card, which will be enough to work with 4K 60fps HEVC video editing (from GOPRO HERO 6)?

I building a new computer I7-8700K With 32GB ram.I have a Msi GTX770 GPU card. Will it help to get at GTX 1060 6GB card?Using for 4K from Sony A6500, Sony A7RIII and Gopro Hero 5 Black.

Hi. I'm considering to buy a second hand Macbook Pro with an nVidia 650 with 1 GB (I think actual prizes on new Macbooks are overvarrated considering performance), but I'm not getting clear information if it's possible to make this card running Mercury Playback with this version of Premiere Pro. I apologize if this has been answered, I've taken a look but I couldn't find.Another thing: if someone has had the option to test both: AMD or nVidia with Premiere Pro 2017?Thanks.

I'm thinking about getting a new mac mini. I have an old imac. I have CS6 (photoshop and indesign) and would like to use that with the new mac mini. Will CS6 work with the new high sierra operating system?

I'm aware that what matters most to After Effects is memory and CPUI want to know what the maximum computer configuration I could buy to make fast renderings. Dual CPU or Single? A lot of cores or less?What kind of computer do movie studios use with Ae?

Hello everyone,     I have a question in regard to CPU utilization when it comes to exporting videos from Premiere Pro CC 2018 and Media Encoder CC 2018.  Up until two days ago I was using a computer with an Intel I7-6700K CPU (4 Core 8 Threads), 16 GB of DDR4-2400 RAM, and a GTX 1080Ti.  When exporting from Premiere Pro CC 2018 or Media Encoder CC 2018 I would check Windows 10 Task Manager and could confirm that the encoding process was using around 95 percent of all CPU resources.  This being the case I knew that basically my current setup was giving it all to get that file or files encoded in the least amount of time possible.     Fast forward to yesterday and I built a brand new desktop PC with a Ryzen 7 1800X (8 Core 16 Threads), 16 GB of DDR4-2400 RAM, and a GTX 1080Ti.  Keep in mind this is a completely new desktop with all software freshly installed.  After getting all software and drivers installed and setting al
