super SLOW performance with Ae & Pr

[moathsonbol]

Hello everyone,

I built a PC specific for Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.

These are the specs:

Asus Zenith Extreme MB

AMD Threadripper 1950X

Asus Strix 1080ti OC

32GB G.SKILL TridentZ RGB

Software on Samsung 512GB 960 PRO NVME SSD

And despite all these powerful components, i'm having a really slow performance with both After Effects & Premiere Pro !!

Maybe it's because of wrong settings, can anyone tell what should i do to get the best performance out of this PC

Nothing to do with settings. You built yourself an Edsel. Since most operations in AE and Premiere are linear and use limited multithreading, what would you even want with a Threadripper processor? Your issues cannot be fixed with the flip of a switch or the wave of a magic wand. You should have informed yourself better beforehand.

If i was gonna biuld a new PC, what are the most best specs would you advice me?

Thanks for your help

Your Threadripper may not be ideal for AE which is not well multithreaded but if it is setup properly it really does quiet well with Premiere.  Here are two Premiere Pro BenchMark (PPBM) results from 1950X with a GTX 1080 Ti.

"34","52","13","158", Premiere Version:, 11.1.2.22, ASUS GTX 1080 Ti 11GB GPU

"48","43","13","140", Premiere Version:, 12.0.0.224

Both of these scores are very good scores for evaluating the performance of the CP:U, GPU, and storage.

Test your system to see how your hardware is setup.

What kind of [profanity removed by moderator] answer is this? The guy is asking for advice. Being patronizing and unhelpful while coming across like a know-it-all doesn't serve any purpose. I'm sure a lot of people have the same question and even a simple link would've been more helpful than that[profanity removed by moderator] reply.

can you be more specific about 'performance'? rendering previews, exporting, warp stabilize, live playback...

for example, according to puget, the 7700 is the same realtime playback as the thousand dollar processors but slower in exporting. neat huh?

Yeah, unfortunately the ~300$ i7-7700K is 20-40% faster in almost everything inside After Effects.

If i was only going to use After Effects i should have bought the i7 CPU.

But i use other editing\3D softwares, so.

To be specific about 'performance' in AE (Pr is not that bad).

It's slow in rendering previews, live playback, animating 3D objects (from Element 3D) and even slow to open the composition!

Thread Ripper Stutter Playback

[johansebamuel]

Don't listen to the people here who say Threadripper is a bad CPU for Premiere. If anything, Threadripper is OVERKILL, which doesn't excuse why Premiere performs poorly on Threadripper platforms. After a ton of testing, I'm convinced Threadripper is bad for Premiere only because Premiere has buggy performance on Threadripper. The CPU should be plenty powerful otherwise (as is evidenced by smooth playback of all kinds of video clips in other software). 

Please report your experience with Premiere on Threadripper here: Feature Request/Bug Report Form  

If enough of us report the problem maybe it will get some attention and a future update will include a fix.

[Bill_Gehrke]

I suggested your testing of Premiere earlier but have not heard from you,  Many times we can cure performance problems with a few simple steps of tuning.  But unless you give us some performance numbers (the Output.csv file) and detail specifications (the Speccy file) we cannot know what to suggest.

Update your bios and turn off CSM under boot, and turn off HPET. Enable xmp of course and make sure RAM is running at advertised speed. Disable xhci hand off.

Install latest chipset, graphics drivers from amd, Nvidia website.

Use coreprio to use all cores efficiently in windows and sync well

I'm having issues with ryzen 5 2600, the ui being slow in photoshop, everything else is fine. Rendering and etc are blazing fast.

[chrisw44157881]

does turning off CSM really make that much of a difference? it kinda opens you up to boot vulnerabilities. just curious. but we do appreciate your detailed info.

[maidelson77752518]

I have a ryzen 5 2600 and it's also slow. So what?

Ryzen is a failed release. Old Intel is faster. I can't edit videos with my screen chopping all over the place, no matter which - - - - - - - software I use or Bios ******* settings I use.
