Advise for PC Build for Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Affect Effects..

I'm new to Adobe CS6 products and I'm looking to build a pc that would perform well in these applications. Partially, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and Affect Effects. I would rather not to have upgrade any of the coponents for the next 3-4 years.
I would like to keep the budget for the PC itself under $2,500 if possilble. I would also like to have a very effective system for the price.
One of the problems I'm running into is the gpu. I can't decide between the gtx 570 2.5 gb for around $300 new, the gtx 580 3 gb (arond $500 new), or the gtx 670/680 4gb. Does the gtx 680 run great in photoshop and premiere pro? I noticed it's not offically supported in either at this moment. And would like to hear more about it's compatiablity or lack there of.
Right now, I'm thinking about a setup like this:
Intel Core i7-3820
Asus P9X79 Motherboard
GPU (between 570 2.5gb, gtx 580 3 gb, or gtx 670/680 4gb)
32 gb of Corsair Vengeance Ram
Samsung 8300 256 gb SSD (for programs and operating system)
x3 Western Digital Caviar Black 1 Tb

aka, would buying a gtx 680 4gb make sense (to you) for a $2,500 USD build?
Not with that budget. It is too expensive within that budget range and goes at the cost of other much needed components.
With the currrent state of things (without further updates from adobe) would you run the gtx 680 with premiere pro or would you prefer the gtx 580?
Again, with your budget limitation you are better of going for the GTX 570, that performs almost equally well as the 580 or 680, but saves a lot of money.
With the budget in mind, would a i7-3930k be a worthy upgrade ove a i7-3820? Would this help performance more than the upgrade from a gtx 570 2.5 gb to a gtx 680 4 gb?
Both Yes.

FAQ: What computer and components should I buy for Premiere Pro or After Effects?

See this page for the official minimum system requirements for Premiere Pro.
See this page for the official minimum system requirements for After Effects.
Note that the minimum system requirements are just that: a minimum to run the software. You will need components that exceed the minimum system requirements to achieve satisfactory performance in many cases.
These resources are also excellent starting points for informing such decisions:

As David and Hal said
One thing to consider is that you may also want SATA capability (which you can do with G5 towers easily, the dual cores have cards available or will shortly) and also shortly (fingers cross) for the MacBooks (there are cards for PowerBooks.)
The only possible fly in the ointment is if you are going to hold onto these computers for awhile, with the Intel Chips the non-Intels will eventually have less support and software. Though for the short term (particularly if you are relying on non-Intel native apps and need peak performance) the Quad G5s are great.

Seeking Help/Advise for Premiere Pro CS3 editing project

Hello everyone,
I am an Absolute newbe here, and to both forums and Adobe in general, so I may be going about this all wrong. If so forgive me, but I have a problem that I would Desperately like some help with.
For about twenty-five years I have been looking for a movie, the problem was hampered somewhat by the fact that it was never released on either VHS or DVD, making it rather hard to find as you might imagine. Now, thanks to the wonder of a (new?) site called youtube, I found DL it piece by piece. I dont mind that it is not DVD quality, in fact, since it was originally a made for tv film, I kind of like it.
The PROBLEM is that for some reason the audio doesnt match up with the video. It is a few seconds before/after (Dont ask me why, I dont Know computers much) and though I have dl/tried every program I can get my hands on, I cant seem to join the pieces together and get the stuff to sync up. Its like watching an old, old Japanese monster movie and watching Those gave me a headache when I was young lol.
Then someone told me that Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 could fix the problem, so I DL it on a trial basis. Thing is, I know nothing about computers and cant even get the movie to load. Let me say I am not especially computer literate, and while I am currently trying to figure out Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 I most likely Wont be keeping it past the 30-day trial. Not that I dont like it (I suppose, so far I have been able to get absolutely no place with it) but rather because I DL it for one reason and, at almost a thousand dollars, it seems an extravagance for a program I will likely never have the need to use again.
(No disrespect intended)
With utmost respect to all, could someone either guide me through the process or convert the thing for me? I have tried going the video editing rout, but they wont help me due to a copyright thing (though I grabbed the thing from public youtube). I dont want to publically display, resell, show off or make a dime from the thing, I just want to make it sync up and burn it to dvd to watch on my tv.
Any advise/help would be warmly appreciated. I am posting this in a couple of forums, so like I said, if I am out of line I apologize.
Respectfully to all.

To John Smith,
Thanks, I have now dl elements and I am going to fool with it today, wish me luck.
To Malick,
Exactly why I am here. Because I am computer functionally illiterate, I am hoping someone here can either:
A: Talk me through the process.
or
B: Be convinced to do it for me. I am willing to deal. :) (I suspect it is the kind of thing that, a person who Knew what they were doing, could do it in about five min.)
For me, who has only used computers for the most Basic things.....
I have tried putting everything onto a CD and taking it to places, but each time I get told that, even though I found the thing on youtube, it is (Was) a real movie released on TV and as such cannot be touched due to copyright. (goofy, if ya ask me. I don't want to sell the thing, just watch it)
But I thank you.

Optimum workflow for Premiere Pro and After Effects

I have been using Premiere Pro CS4 for three or four years. As I take on more ambitious projects, I have begun learning AE as well, since it offers many capabilities that PP alone doesn't.
I am puzzled about how best to use the two programs, since much of their functionality overlaps.
I typically import my raw footage from the camera into PP and do the basic editing and tweaking as required. I record the audio separately, so I import and sync the audio into PP as well.
I generally shoot in front of a green screen, key out the green, drop the background in, then add titles during the stream.
I have done all this in PP up to this point, but I am looking for the most efficient way to integrate the two applications. It seems to me that rendering a PP project that is linked to AE content takes a lot longer than I am accustomed to.
Can anyone shed any light on the best way to take advantage of the strengths of both programs together?
Thanks,
Joe Parsons

If you're happy with the chroma key you get, I wouldn't change a thing. Oh, maybe I'd make an animated lower-third background or some classy-looking backgrounds in AE. But if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Laptop for Premiere Pro and after Effects

Hello Everyone,
I would like to buy a new laptop to work with premiere and after effects. I found this one at Schenker and costumized it.
Do you think this is a good one? Did I make the right decisions in costumizing?
Thanks!

I want to my a new laptop but i don't know what good gpu's are for premiere pro and after effect
are thise cpu perfect ?
3GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 555M Graphics Card
1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 550M Graphics Card
1GB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 435M GT grafische kaart (Wireless N1000 Card Only)
1GB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 420M GT grafische kaart

None are perfect, for the simple reason that all laptops are handicapped.
The best looks to be the 3 GB 555M. None of these cards are on the supported list, so you must try to hack them. Hacking is not difficult but there are no guarantees it will work and we have not yet seen results from these cards.

Want to build a video editing machine for Premiere Pro CC

I will only be using this machine for Premiere pro CC.I would like you guys to have a look at the specs I have chosen,give your suggestions:
i5 4th gen 4670K 3.4 Ghz LGA 1150 (Keeping in mind the benchmark tests found on this site for CC)
Ram Corsair 16 GB Corsair DDR3 @ 1333Mhz. Either 4GB x 4 or 4GB x 2 + 8GB X 1.I already have 8 GB of ram so I am stuck with 1333Mhz.Will this really matter? is 1600mhz better for video editing ?
Motherboard has to be in MSI as I had bad experiences with Asus and Intel original.I am confused about the chipset though..Has to be Z series right??
HDD - 2TB x 1 @ 7200rpm Seagate
1TB x 1 @ 7200rpm Seagate I already have the HDDs from the last machine.
Graphics Card - Within 12k INR.No choice in particular though I had good experience with Sapphire AMD 6670 AND R7 250. I hear AMD is no good for video editing?is it true?
Prefrences- Saphire for AMD
Zotac for Nvidia
Please recomend me a PSU.What shoud be the wattage? Also, need some guidance for buying a UPS.Have this one as of now:
http://www.snapdeal.com/product/zebronics-power-ups-u111/653520?utm_source=earth_feed&utm_ campaign=21_56&utm_medium=101239537
psst- Do I need a cooling option if I am not running this machine in an air conditioned room?
As for the OS is Microsoft Windows 8 / 8.1 SL OEM 64 bit ok ?
I am also looking to buy a Full HD monitor under 12K INR.
Thanks a lot in advance !!

The new Haswell E CPU is out now. THAT is what you want for a new editing machine. ESPECIALLY for heading into the future, which will involve 4K and other, maybe more DEMANDING codecs. SEE Eric Bowen's posting here on this forum regarding the test results for video editing using the Haswell E...vs. the older CPUs.
The Haswell E now has a new chipset,( X99), that brings MANY new features, AND, the Haswell E NOW features "quad channel" memory...to handle large amounts of data FASTER. The new motherboards have TEN SATA III ports, for a variety of HIGH SPEED storage options !! The OLDER motherboards are LIMITED to TWO SATA III ports.....PREVENTING creating FAST onboard RAID setups. The Haswell E is available with EIGHT,or, SIX cores...you choose !! Use at least 32 GB of system memory. Soon, Eric will post the results of the new Nvidia 970 and 980 video cards. in his video editing test. The 980 is ALREADY the top card in GAMING...BEATING the 780ti, DESPITE having LESS data throughput. The 980 MAY be the card you want....it is MUCH cheaper than the 780ti......down in the $500 plus range.
Use the new Samsung 850 Pro SSDs in your new system...or, the cheaper Crucial M550 series SSDs. The SSDs are now WAY more reliable than HDDs and are WAY FASTER, in many ways.

Optimal Hard Drive Configuration for Premiere Pro CS5 and Pro Tools

I am in the process of upgrading a workstation that is used primarily for multi-track audio recording in Pro Tools to use the following Adobe CS5 products for production of promotional videos in HDV (and AVCHD for the web) as well as printed marketing materials for bands and musicians: Premiere Pro, Encore, Photoshop, Illustrator and Soundbooth.
Since Premiere Pro is probably the most demanding application of the group, I have been studying the suggested hardware configurations on this forum with great interest, particularly HARM's suggestions (including his Generic Guideline for Disk Setup) to determine which hard drives to purchase and the optimal manner in which to configure them.
I am upgrading an HP Z800 with dual quad core 2.44 GhZ processors with hyperthreading (16 virtual cores), 12 GB of memory and an overclocked GeForce GTX 470. Without setting up a RAID configuration (which I cannot afford at the moment), I would like to use the 4 available HDD bays in the Z800 in the optimal manner for Premier Pro, using currently available drives. I am currently considering purchasing a 300GB VelociRaptor to use as my C drive because of the extended load times and demands placed on the drive by ProTools and the associated Waves plug-ins.
I would appreciate suggestions to improve my following plan: C (300GB WD VelociRaptor) for OS and Programs; D (1 TB WD Black Caviar) for Media and Projects; E (1 250 GB WD Black Caviar) for Pagefile (approx. 18 GB) and Media Cache; and E (2 TB WD Black Caviar) for Previews, Exports and Pro Tools audio files.
I have great respect for the knowledge of the members of this forum and eagerly await your suggestions.

I very much appreciate the responses to my email because I know that all of your time is valuable and that you have chosen to use some of that valuable time to help an unknown individual. This forum is remarkable because of the wealth of knowledge available and the willingness of so many to assist others.
I now wish to narrow my questions to save you time and so that I can get specific advice. I may not have not been clear that I have already upgraded to the HP Z800 with dual quad core processors and overclocked GTX 470, primarily for the improved performance it will provide in ProTools. My question now is how to optimize its performance for Premiere Pro CS5. Based upon my research, I am considering the following two upgrades, but I am open to other suggestions if they would provide better results at a similar cost
1. I am considering purchasing a 600GB WD VelociRaptor ( WD6000HLXH) for my C drive on which I would place OS (Windows 7, 64 Bit) and programs in an effort to reduce loading times of large programs. I have two questions: (1) Are members of the forum seeing a significant improvment in program loading times with the VelociRaptor because I am still not convinced that the price performance of SSD's justifies their use; and (2) There are so many models of VelociRaptors now that I want to be certain that I am purchasing the best version for my needs. In addition to the usual 10000 RPM speed, this model has 32MB Cache and a 3.5" form factor as well as a SATA 6.0GB/s interface (which I doubt my motherboard can take advantage of but it might extend the useful life of the drive with future configurations).
2. I currently have available for installation in the Z800 the following drives: (1) WD 2TB Black Caviar; (1) WD 1TB Black Caviar; (2) Hitachi 1TB. I believe that the Z800 can accept up to 5 SATA hard drives which I will have if I purchase the Velociraptor. Although I am reasonably knowledeable when it comes to hardware, I have never set up a RAID configuration. Therefore, it would be helpful if someone could recommend one of the various RAID configurations and brieflyexplain why it would seem to be best for my needs. I can then focus my research on understanding that one configuration.
I was planning to follow Scott's suggestion for my current 3 drives: OS and programs on C (WD 600 GBVelociRaptor), media and projects on D (WD 1TB Black Caviar), export files and Pro Tools files (all live musician tracks, no samples) on E (WD 2TB Black Caviar). However, I have been reading about the benefits of a RAID configuration so I am interested in further suggestions now that I have clarified my questions.
Thank you all for your help.

Best Training Materials for Premiere Pro?

I'm a long time pro veteran of Photoshop, but fairly new to video editing and a total noob w Premiere Pro CC (and after effects) I want to get on the fast track learning Premiere Pro and guess that taking an online video course is the most efficient path.
I don't know if there are any courses yet for Premiere Pro CC 2014, but I suspect that I can make do with a good CC course. There's Lynda.com, and the Pearson/Adobe Press/Peachpit series (perhaps others that I haven't found yet) I'm not seeing much in the way of online reviews for these. Any forum denizens have useful opinions to share?
I have only used iMovie, and GoPro Studio2. I prefer video training for general learning, with printed books (or PDF) for reference.
Thanks!

I second Lynda also.
These are for free.

Graphics card HELP for premiere pro CC

So I've spent hours reading numerous forums in regards to what graphics card is best suitable for premiere pro cc that isn't overly priced (I.e. Quadro k4000 and 5000) I'm trying to stick in the 400-500 range for the PC I'm in the process of building. I need to know anyone's recommendations for a GOOD graphics card that isn't so expensive? I know they exist, I'm just not sure which fits best for premiere pro CC as well as the rest of adobe CC. I mean I hear people mentioning AMD vs quadro and GTX 680, etc. I know there's a list of approved cards from adobe, but that isn't what I'm looking for. I want one that will give excellent performance without emptying my wallet costing so much. Please, any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks guys!

Actually, I tend to agree with cc. That i7-4770 cannot be overclocked at all - not even in a limited manner (outside of the normal turbo boosting) - to start with (the maximum multiplier on the Haswell i7 CPUs is permanently locked to its nominal stock setting or its maximum stock turbo setting, depending on how the motherboard BIOS reads the settings). Second, that i7 has only four physical cores (albeit with hyperthreading). Third, no single non-RAID 7200 RPM hard disk has a sustainable maximum transfer speed above 190 MB/s even on the outer tracks (where the transfer speed is typically highest). As a matter of fact, I tested my auxiliary PC that's equipped with an i5-2400 and 16GB of RAM, and tested it with both older-generation GPUs (a GTX 560 non-Ti and a GTX 560 Ti 448-core), and while the GTX 560 Ti 448-core did perform about 50 percent faster than the plain GTX 560 (39 seconds versus 59 seconds - or put it in converse, the GTX 560 performed one-third slower than the GTX 560 Ti 448) in the MPEG-2 DVD test of the PPBM6 suite, the real-world improvement does not come anywhere close to the benchmarked difference (with either GPU, the i5 system took between an hour and an hour and a half to convert 40 minutes of HD material to MPEG-2 DVD using the VBR 2-pass method). This means that with such longer material, the CPU and memory performance comes more into play.
Oh, did I forget to mention that Western Digital and its HGST subsidiary are the only brands that offer a consumer-level (desktop, as opposed to enterprise) 4TB hard drive that spins at 7200 RPM? (Seagate's 4TB hard drive spins at only 5900 RPM while Toshiba does not currently offer a consumer-level 4TB hard drive.) Outside of WD and HGST, you'll have to buy a much more expensive enterprise-level drive to even find a 4TB drive that spins at 7200 RPM.
And unfortunately, at current street prices, the lower-end GT/GTX 6xx series GPUs are just too expensive for their performance. In fact, the GTX 650 Ti Boost and the GTX 660 are both priced too close to that of a GTX 760 for their own good right now (unless you go for a card that's equipped with the less desirable 1GB VRAM configuration based on either of those GPUs).

MagicBulletLooks1.4 for Premiere Pro CS5 Installation Problem:'unauthorized-register or reinstall'

Hi,
I have a problem with installing Magic Bullet Looks 1.4 for Premiere Pro CS5 on my computer. Upon installation, when I launch PrPro, drag and paste 'Looks' video effect on a clip on the timeline I get every time the following message:
'Magic Bullet Looks is unauthorized - please register or reinstall'
The clip over which I apply the Looks effect starts flickering and if I try to open the Looks' 'Edit' in Effects Control it fails and I got the following message: "Unable to create a preview frame for LooksBuilder'
I tried to reinstall the software (as administrator) three times but the outcome was every time the same. I need to add that 'Magic Bullet MisFire' that came with Looks 1.4 installs properly and works just fine.
Have you experienced the same problem? Can you please advise me how to fix it?
Here are my system specs:
Windows 7 (64bit)
Adobe Master Collection CS5 (64bit)
CPU: Intel i7 - 930
12GB RAM
Mobo: Asus P6T
Graphics card: nVidia 250GTS (from MSI) with 1GB DDR3
Thank you in advance!

Harm,
Magic Bullet Looks v1.4 is the latest one and the only one that works with the 64bit CS5

GTX 760M 2GB DDR5 or GTX 850M 4GB DDR3 for Premiere Pro

I'm hesitating whether to buy Asus N56JR or N550JK.
Asus N56JR come with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M 2GB DDR5
Asus N550JK come with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M 4GB DDR3.
For the Memory, I will upgrade it to 16GB RAM
Both come with Intel Core i7-4700QM Processor & 1TB HDD 7200RPM
My question is for Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects and Photoshop, which one is recommended?
Thank you

I have N56JR and I use it for Premiere Pro, After Effects osv. It Works perfectly, but you must remember to set the nVidia card for the programs, or it will use Your other, Integrated intelcard, and that doesn't work that well (to say the least). But Yeah, everything is smooth and Works fine.I think you must set the Premiere Pro for CUDA engine too..

Where can I find Plugins / Transitions for Premiere Pro CS5 (not Cs 5.5 or 6) ?

Hello,
I am searching and searching for transition packs for Premiere Pro CS5, there are lots for 5.5 or 6 but none for 5. At least I could't find them.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks in advance
Alex

Chances are most plug-ins working for the later versions will also work for CS5, but you can check with each company if you're not sure.
