Looking for computer compatible with Premiere Pro cs6

Hello everyone,
I am looking to invest in a new computer desktop that could support programs such as Adobe Premiere Pro cs6 and Photoshop cs6. I would like to go with a DELL computer if possible and I definitely need something that can support HD video editing. What would you recommend??
My budget is max 1500$. I have been looking at the Dell XPS8500 however the graphics card (NVIDIA Geforce GT640) is not listed in the tech specs required for the Premiere Pro cs6 program and I'm not sure if it's strong enough to support the Adobe programs. If it's possible, I would also like to have a re-writable BR optival drive, but it's not a necessity.
I will be doing a lot of video editing (I am a film student) and I will be using video footage from my Canon 60D.
Please let me know your best suggestions and if I should build my on PC, what do I REALLY need to be able to edit videos with ease (no lagging, etc.).
Thanks!
- Jackie

On a low budget, a DIY or a custom system. For under $2K, you could put together a nice DIY system as John did.
Decent Dell and HP workstations start at $3K, and on the low end, I'd recommend HP Z420 over Dell T3600.  Decent custom systems (basically DIY but put together and supported by professional integrators) also start around $3K but offer more performance for the money vs. Dells and HPs.
Like Harm, I don't think XPS8500 is a good match for CS6.
HTH.

  • Is Premiere Elements compatible with Premiere Pro CS6?

    We are having trouble opening up files in Elements that was saved in Pro.
    Any advice?
    Thanks,

    Programs are not compatible (either way).

  • Is there any way to create a file compatible with Premiere Pro

    Is there any way to create a file in Premiere elements that is compatible with Premiere Pro and that can be used in Premiere Pro

    Consternation
    The important information that I do not see mentioned nor offered by you.
    1.What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system it is running? What version of Premiere Pro do you want to use?
    The Premiere Pro Import Supported Formats seem to indicate that it will accept the Premiere Elements project.prel (project file) on Windows Only.
    Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Supported file formats
    This may or may not be possible depending on damaged projects or outdated elements.
    2. If you want to export your Premiere Elements Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive and subsequently import that into your Premiere Pro version, that "should" work. You would go to the Premiere Elements Publish+Share/Computer/ and make a selection based on what the Premiere Pro Import Supported file formats are and what you need. I can help you with that. But, details first.
    But, just a "beware"...when you get to Premiere Elements 11 or 12 (if that is the version involved) Publish+Share/Computer/ there are several categories, but all you see is Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, and AVCHD. The rest of the list that includes AVI and QuickTime which both need to be scrolled to all of the time to see them, not just sometimes, with the thin scroll bar to the right of the list of choices. You can export files
    with AVI file extension, under Publish+Share/Computer/AVI
    with MOV file extension, under Publish + Share/Computer/QuickTime
    And, if you do not have QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements, you are not going to have presets for the QuickTime export.
    Remember, there is more to an export than just its file extension. Know your other export properties as well.
    In many cases, you can customize the export settings to suit your requirements.
    Problems will exist if you are trying to go from Premiere Elements Windows to Premiere Pro Mac or vice versa.
    I would be glad for the opportunity to help you with this issue, but details are needed.
    Looking forward to your follow up.
    Thanks.

  • MXF issues with Premiere Pro CS6

    Hello,
    I am having trouble using Canon XF300 MXF files in Premiere Pro CS6 v6.0.2. I am using the media browser (tried icon and list view) to import footage (first importing to internal HD via the Canon XF Utility). I can import and play audio and video for all files under 2.05 GB but PPro limits any file longer than 30 seconds to  30 seconds.
    Alos, Canon cameras cut files over 2.05 GB into separate MXFs. Most of my footage are interviews over 10 minutes long so I have 3 or 4 separate MXF spanned files for each clip. Premiere is having most trouble handling these files. First of all it limits them to 30 seconds each. Then, when I import them and drag them into a sequence it will only play audio from the first spanned file, even if video from the second sapnned file is playing.
    I have tried merging all spanned files using Canon XF Utility's 'Export to MXF' function. As a result I have one 10 minute long MXF file but when I import it to PPro it still limits it to 30 seconds.
    I made the change to PPro because of the ability to edit various formats in a single senqunce without tanscoding. I recently purchased a Sony FS700 and FCP7 couldn't really handle the MTS (or clipwrapped movs). Premiere handles them perfectly but can't handle the MXFs. So currently I am finding myself going into FCP7, logging and transfering the MXFs and transcoding them to .movs using the Canon XF plugin for FCP7 and then importing those to Premiere (they work fine this way)...but of course its a hassle to do with hundreds of clips per shoot.
    I also noted that VLC 2.0.x versions can't handle the MXFs so well (video plays fine, audio at double the speed) but VLC version 1.0.3 handles them ok as long as I dont forward the video.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Computer specs: Mac Pro 2.66GHz 12 core, 16 GB RAM running latest Snow Leopard update.
    Clips shot at: 29.97 fps, 50 Mpbs, HD 1920x1080.

    (first importing to internal HD via the Canon XF Utility)
    Try skipping any special software and just use Windows Explorer (or Finder).

  • Crashing issues with Premiere pro Cs6

    When I use Premiere Pro CS6 it tends to crash and it also tends tends to make the video pink and green looking, and it also sometimes flips it upside down and turns it black and white. So I was wondering if auto-saving had anything to do with it or if my camera or cpu had anything to do with it. I re-installed the program once, I also tried converting my video files to h264 before bringing them into Premiere. I use a Sony HXR MC1500p, and I am not using PAL by the way (or maybe I am and I am unaware), I really dont understand PAL and NTSC anyway.

    Thanks, Ryan

    1st. You don't have convert you videofiles they are AVCHD so OK for Premiere Pro.
    2nd. The edit PC (with Pro pro) is far better off with Intel CPU, Nvidia GPU,  lots of harddiscs, >800 watt gold PSU, big CPU cooler etc etc..
    3rd. Read a few hours at the hardware department. And you could build a nice machine for $1500,- to $3000,- yourself or order at ADK.

  • Imac Graphics cards with Premiere Pro cs6

    Hello
    I just changed over to Premiere Pro cs6 from avid and fcp 7/x. I am already sure i made the right decision. I love the interface, i really love it! and cant wait to get stuck into it properly.
    I just bought a brand new, all singing all dancing 27 inch imac full spec 32gb RAM with a NIVIDA Geforce GTX 680MX 2048mb card. However pro cs6 by default is using the “Mecuary playback engine sofware only” instead of the “Mecuary playback engine Acceleration [CUDA] and i cant change it. Does it cs6 not support this card and if so will it in the future?
    Any help would be greatly apericated!
    Kind regards
    Philip

    Hi Paul
    You mention last week that you had  the same problem as me with your new iMac and graphics card with cs6.
    I was just onto  Adobe and they told me that they could not assist.
    Can you tell me who you death with?
    I am really keen to get this card running!

  • Control Surfaces compatible with Premiere Pro CC

    Hello!
    I am starting a new gig and I am building out a edit bay for the project.  I have only build a bay with FCP7 so I am a little hesitiant on things like peripherals.  Since Control Surfaces are new to support in Premiere please let me know what kind of experience you've all had in working with them.  I have had sucess with the Behringer BCF2000 on FCP but I've had my eye on the PreSonus FaderPort.
    Can anyone lend any input or experience?
    Thanks!

    Hi Dan,
    Picked up a FaderPort last Wednesday and I'm gonna return it on Monday.
    Here's the story. First of all, if just going by the specs, Premiere is not supported by FaderPort.
    FaderPort uses either the Mackie HUI or the Mackie Control protocol but it's defaulted to HUI so you have to switch it over yourself, a procedure that is not explained explicitly in the manual.
    Once you do that the key mapping is "all weird" and I could not make any sense of it, so after two days of fighting it, I gave up and will return the thing (thank god for the 30-day free return policy in Sweden).
    In essence, I would not go for the FaderPort with Premiere.
    Honestly speaking, after some research, I am yet to find a control surface that explicitly states full compatibility with Premiere.
    I was over on the Avid website and was looking at the Avid Artist Mix compatibility specs, Premiere is not even on the list. Audition is, but there is no functionality listing for it, unlike all the other supported DAWs.
    I don't really know why no control surface I've seen explicitly supports Premiere, might be because Premiere only recently got the control surface functionality, but I think that both the surface makers and Adobe need to shape up and iron this out, because I'm not gonna mix a 90 minute dance show video using the mouse for a fader!
    Cheers, J

  • Which video camera works best with Premiere Pro CS6

    I'm a beginner in working with PP and need to purchase a video camera which will work seemlessly with Premiere Pro.  I don't want to go through a lot of conversion steps. I want to tape my kids sports, be able to take the raw video right from the camera to PP and begin editing, copying etc. Does the Canon HFM 500 with ABCHD formats provide what I need or do I need something more sophisticated?  Just getting started with the whole video editing thing and want to make the right choices before buying a camera. Thanks for any input.
