Researching PC laptops that will run Premiere Pro CC. I am unfamiliar with tech specs. Please help!

I am an independent filmmaker who is looking to invest in a better and faster laptop to accommodate Premiere Pro CC. I'm a current PC user and love it, and I am trying to stay with the PC OS. I'm not familiar with tech specs, but in my extensive research, this ASUS laptop seems to match almost all of the Adobe System Requirements for Premiere Pro CC (2014). Though, some are not mentioned, so I wasn't sure if it matches up completely.

I don't want to spend a big chunk of money on a new piece of technology if it won't be able to do what I need it to do. Please help!

...I totally second Bill's suggestion and information.....I did the EXACT SAME thing as he did, when my previous i7 laptop was hit by lightning and KILLED !! My "refurbished " Asus G750JW only cost $850 at the time, and arrived in a "like new" condition, with all the plastic film still on everything......it has been FLAWLESS in operation. It edits 1080p EASILY with multiple video tracks and GPU accelerated effects on the timeline.
It is AMAZING how in just one year how much advancement has occurred in these "gaming" laptops, which can be used for video editing. However, you MUST be aware that these laptops MUST be plugged in while editing as they are "throttled" on battery power...no matter HOW you make the "power settings". Some newer models offer multiple mSATA slots, where you can create a high speed storage RAID 0 array....a Crucial mSATA 256GB SSD is only $89 right now at the "Egg".....2 or 3 of these in an MSI Dominator would provide a very fast place for your media and project files. The other, standard 2.5" SATA III port would be for your OS drive...again, a Crucial 256GB 550 SSD would be good there.
Like Bill said....look for a refurbished, open box, or, maybe even slightly used machine that is "user upgradeable" to get the biggest bang for the buck. You will have to research VERY CAREFULLY however to insure EXACTLY which memory slots are already filled and if you have access to only SOME of the slots, or, ALL of the slots. Also, you must determine EXACTLY how the drive bays are configured. For example : one version of the MSI laptop that is a CHEAPER version still has the space for 3 separate mSATA drives,BUT, does NOT include necessary "adapters" to actually connect your OWN mSATA drives in that bay. I DID find a small RESELLER on the internet, ( in Pennsylvania, if I remember correctly) who will MODIFY a BASE model of the MSI for a VERY reasonable cost.....even LESS than it would cost to SELF upgrade !! He would add the memory to 32GB AND max out the potential for the storage configuration FOR you. With the proper "homework" you CAN find a very good machine without getting RAPED...it just takes patience, reading, and learning before pulling the trigger.
Good Luck !!

    unfortunately system requirements, (in general), are usually the MINIMUM required to run the program. the more complex your intended use of the software is, the more you need to consider beefing up the 'system requiremets'.
    let's face it:
    After Effects CC (2014) system requirements and language versions
    Windows
    Intel Core2 Duo or AMD Phenom II processor with 64-bit support
    is a joke to start with....

    Hey erinoneill24,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.

    If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.

  • Need help choosing optimal hardware for a laptop that will run AE CS5

    BACKGROUND INFO (Questions listed below)
    I need some help figuring out the best hardware configuration for a new laptop. I’m a student at a design school and I will be using the laptop to mainly run After Effects and to a lesser extent Photoshop and Illustrator. I don’t need to worry about 3D rendering software or Premier Pro. I am primarily interested in getting the best performance during editing. I am not looking for the best performance for final output. I would prefer to sacrifice final output times for better editing/interface performance.
    I will be working with standard definition content and perhaps HD up to 720p on occasion. I do not need to operate in resolutions higher than 720p. My projects are generally animation and use many sources and many layers.
    I’ve been reading up on optimal hardware configurations for CS5 but my understanding is still a little foggy and I would like to use this thread to figure out how to build the best machine for my budget. The budget is about $1400 to $1600 CANADIAN after tax.
    I DON’T need help finding the laptop. I will search for it on my own. I just need to understand the best hardware to purchase within my budget.
    I realize that it is probably impossible to buy the laptop I want with the hardware configuration I need “off the shelf”. Instead I will be looking for a good base model (~$900-$1100) and I will purchase the necessary hardware upgrades separately. I will not be purchasing a Mac.
    Right now I’m thinking of a machine built something like this:
    - 15”-16” screen (17” models are too big/heavy)
    - Mid to high end i5 processor OR entry level i7 quad core
    - 8GB RAM (I would go to 12GB, but it’s hard to find a 15”-16” laptop with 3 memory slots)
    - SSD to replace HDD (However, if possible, I would like a laptop with dual HDD support or swap the optical drive for another HDD. If I had access to 2 drives, I would have and HDD/SSD combo).
    - Medium/high end NVIDIA GPU to take advantage of OpenGL while editing.
    QUESTIONS
    1) Does the “Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously” option enhance general editing performance (applying filters, scrubbing through the timeline, reverting history states)? Or does it ONLY help speed up RAM previews and final output? Does it reduce the length of RAM previews?
    1b) Is this option even necessary to enable on 64bit systems? (As far as I understand it was used to solve a problem where 32bit systems/software would only recognize 4GB of RAM per instance of AE).
    1c) If I turn this option on to help with RAM previews, would I be hindering general editing performance in any way? Or does this option have basically zero drawbacks?
    2) How come “Actual CPUs that will be used” will read 0 even if the sum total of RAM assigned to the CPUs plus the RAM reserved for other applications is less than the total available system RAM (on a 64bit system)? For example, I currently have 4GB RAM and 2 installed CPUs. I have 1.5GB reserved for other programs and when I set 0.75GB per CPU both CPUs are used. However when I set 1GB per CPU then 0 CPUs are used, even though the total RAM adds up to only 3.5GB.
    CPU
    3.) Considering the fact that I am more concerned with smooth performance while editing rather than final output speeds, would it be better to get a dual core i5 clocked around 2.5 or a quad core i7 clocked around 1.8?
    4.) What is the difference between an i3 and an i5 processor even if they are clocked at the same speed? How does an i5 460M compare on the grand scheme of things?
    RAM
    6.) Should the quantity of RAM that I get (8GB vs 12GB) be based on the number of cores in my CPU? If so, how should I be calculating optimal RAM based on # of cores. Should I also be counting threads, or just actual physical cores?
    STORAGE/SWAP
    7.) Should I replace the HDD with an SSD? I'm looking for snappy interface performance while editing. I would think that if the RAM fills up it would be best to have the SSD for scratch/cache.
    8.) What performance benchmarks are most important when considering an SSD for After Effects? (4k writes? IOs per second? Max read/write?)
    9.) I can afford the OCZ Vertex2 120GB SSD. Would this be a good choice if an SSD is recommended?
    10.) Would it be better to have 8GB of RAM and an SSD, or 12GB of RAM and an HDD? Explain why.
    GPU
    10.) After Effects utilizes OpenGL to enhance editing performance. I will not really be using Premier Pro, so catering to the CUDA Mercury Engine is not a concern. Do high end gaming cards provide significant gains in OpenGL performance? Or do OpenGL performance gains taper off around the mid-range GPUs? (i.e. can you justify buying a high end GTX 260M graphics card for enhanced editing performance versus an "entry level" dedicated card like the 310M?)
    11.) What hardware specs are most important when considering a GPU for editing performance in AE? (Memory size? # of Pixel shaders? Core speed? Shader speed?)
    Thanks so much for any answers you can offer to these questions.

    Please make sure that you've read through this page and what it points to.
    > 1) Does the “Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously” option
    enhance general editing performance (applying filters, scrubbing through
    the timeline, reverting history states)? Or does it ONLY help speed up
    RAM previews and final output? Does it reduce the length of RAM
    previews?
    It only increases rendering speed for RAM previews and rendering for final output. In After Effects CS5, it doesn't decrease the length of RAM previews. (In CS4, it does.)
    1b) Is this option even necessary to enable on 64bit
    systems? (As far as I understand it was used to solve a problem where
    32bit systems/software would only recognize 4GB of RAM per instance of
    AE).
    You misunderstood. Yes, it's still relevant on 64-bit computers. Moreso, in a way. (I'd rather not spend my entire Sunday writing out detailed answers to satisfy idle curiosity, so I'm not going to give all the technical detail to that answer.)
    > 1c) If I turn this option on to help with RAM previews,
    would I be hindering general editing performance in any way? Or does
    this option have basically zero drawbacks?
    It takes a small but nonzero time for the background processes to start up when they need to be used and shut down when they're done. And as they sit waiting, they take up a little bit of memory. So, it's not exactly correct to say that there are no downsides to leaving it on. But it's close. I leave it on.
    > 2) How come “Actual CPUs that will be used” will read 0 even
    if the sum total of RAM assigned to the CPUs plus the RAM reserved for
    other applications is less than the total available system RAM (on a
    64bit system)? For example, I currently have 4GB RAM and 2 installed
    CPUs. I have 1.5GB reserved for other programs and when I set 0.75GB per
    CPU both CPUs are used. However when I set 1GB per CPU then 0 CPUs are
    used, even though the total RAM adds up to only 3.5GB.
    4GB - 1.5GB for other software leaves 2.5 GB for After Effects.
    If you have 1GB assigned per background CPU, then the foreground takes 1.2x that = 1.2GB. That leaves 1.3GB for background processes, which is enough for one background process. There's no point in starting only one background process to do rendering, so it doesn't bother. (Note: When background processes are rendering, the foreground process isn't rendering.)
    > 3.) Considering the fact that I am more concerned with
    smooth performance while editing rather than final output speeds, would
    it be better to get a dual core i5 clocked around 2.5 or a quad core i7
    clocked around 1.8?
    Get the quad-core. That gives you a greater total number of cycles. And After Effects works very well with mutliple processors, even beyond Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing. An entirely unrelated sort of multiprocessing (multithreading) spreads work out to multiple processors.
    > 6.) Should the quantity of RAM that I get (8GB vs 12GB) be based on the number of cores in my CPU? If
    so, how should I be calculating optimal RAM based on # of cores. Should
    I also be counting threads, or just actual physical cores?
    The optimum amount is the amount that you can cram into the computer. I'm not kidding. Spend your budget on RAM until you have 4GB installed per processor (and I'm counting the virtual processors due to hyperthreading). If you have a quad-core, that's 8 CPUs with hyperthreading, so the optimum amount of RAM installed is 32GB. You can work with less, but you did ask about optimum. For HD work (i.e., 1920 pixels across), you're OK with more like 3GB installed per CPU. That's what I have at home: 24GB in a quad-core. You're going to assign 2/3 or so of the RAM to After Effects, so 3GB installed per CPU is 2GB per core for HD work in After Effects.
    > 10.) Would it be better to have 8GB of RAM and an SSD, or 12GB of RAM and an HDD? Explain why.
    12GB of RAM. Because After Effects likes RAM. (If you're thinking of deliberatly using virtual memory to swap memory to the hard disk, don't. That's a performance killer.)
    > 10.) After Effects utilizes OpenGL to enhance editing performance.
    Not really. If you're on a limited budget, don't even think about the GPU until you've already got the most RAM, the fastest CPUs, the largest number of CPUs, two fast hard disks, and a couple of good monitors. Then, and only then, should you even consider getting soemthing beyond a non-stock graphics card. Yes, OpenGL can be used to accelerate some things, but that's only for the low-fidelity preview renderer. (Pardon the bluntness, but I want to make sure that you heed this.)

  • Help Im looking for a laptop that will run these specs

    I am looking for a laptop to run AT LEAST the following OS: Windows XP SP2/ Windows Vista/Windows 7 (32 or 64-bit) CPU: Intel dual-core 1.8 GHz or AMD Athlon X2 + 3800 Memory: 1GB RAM or Better Video:ATI Radeon X1800 or NVIDIA GeForce 7950 or better Sound: DirectX 9.0c Compatible Soundcard DirectX: Version 9.0c or Higher HDD: 5GB Free Disk Space Network: Broadband Required I have a sattelite now and have had no probs with it. I just need an upgrade can you tell me what you have that fits into these parametors?

    Toshiba is NOT supplying XP drivers for any of it's laptops that ship with WIndows 7 so if XP is important to you then you'll need to look at some other manufacturer that does supply them or pick a Toshiba that comes with Vista and look on the Product Support Link at the top of this page to verify that it has XP drivers available for it. 
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • Premiere Pro only plays half of audio file. PLEASE HELP

    Hey,
    I'm editing a music video on a Mac desktop (os 10.7.5, 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7) using premiere pro cs6.
    There was no issue at first, but now the audio file (mp3) has become faulty. Only the first half will play (with waveforms) and the second half the waveforms go flat and there is just silence. I've tried reimporting it, rendering the audio file, rendering the whole project everything.
    At first it wasn't working at all but I literally just moved the audio file to a different audio slot and it started playing an extra few seconds but that's it. File plays in everything else perfectly fine, but once it's brought in to premiere it partially flatlines.
    Any ideas what I could try?
    Thanks,

  • Is there an easy way to find apps that will run on an ipod touch gen 2 with iOS 4.2.1?

    My grandson's ipod touch gen 4 was stolen so I picked up a used ipod touch gen 2 only to find out I can't upgrade beyond 4.2.1 iOS, so I am trying to find apps that run on that iOS. Enter an unfriendly App Store for those of us not used to using it!
    Can someone please tell me an easy way to find apps for him to run on this older system?
    Thanks in advance!

  • My ipod 4th gen is stuck on the apple logo. Happened while on low battery, then i plugged in. iTunes nor the computer will recognize my ipod. I have Jailbroken with absinthe. Please help

    so yeah, whats in the title. Holding the power and menu button wont work. Jailbroke with absinthe green poison for ios 5.1 it was working fine until i plugged it in at low battery. Then the apple logo thing happened. my laptop wont recognize it, itunes wont either. HELP!!

    Or to not be a jerk like the guy above, try recovering it through itunes.
    Step 1
    Open iTunes and connect the iPhone via USB.
    Step 2
    Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.
    Step 3
    Continue holding the both buttons until your iTunes pops up a message telling you that it has detected an iPhone/iPod in recovery mode.
    Good Luck!

    Hi Jim,
    I am using it solely for wedding videography so it quite basic stuff.  I am filming on a canon 7d and really just looking or something that I can edit the footage with and put on some light effect/colour grading.  I am not able to say what level of effects I will be needing to use as at the minute when i try anything other than basic editing the programme has a stroke.  Like I mentioned I have Magic Bullet Looks suite sitting waiting for me but I haven't even had a chance to try it out.  One effect I really like but know that it is processor draining is some warp stabiliation .  There are certain shots it really lends itself to but I just bought myself a nice monpod and fluid head so shouldn't need that anymore.
    Last night I tried downloading Premiere cc onto my girlfriends £500 basic desktop and to my great surprise everthing ran like a dream! (compared to my computer anyway).  Is this normal, that a cheap desktop would so comprehensively outperform a 12 month old Macbook Pro?  I am wondering if there is an unresolved problem with the macbook itself.
    To give you an example, if i have put warp stabilisation on a clip on my macbook I have to put it at 1/4 resolution for it to playback and even then it is extremely choppy and sticky and sometimes crashes the programme.  Last night on the budget desktop I was able to put it to full resolution and it played smoothly, just like it would if it had been exported.
    Any advice you could give on this would be much appreciated.  ive been round the traps with apple and adobe tech guys and neither of them can find anything wrong with the computer or the programme.
    Thanks,
    Tony

  • What is the newest Mac desktop that will run OS9.1?

    What is the newest Mac desktop that will run OS9.1?

    Everymac web site with Apple model listing - http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/index-apple-specs-applespec.html
    Check the above web site.  Unless somebody can give you a concise answer here you can start browsing different models and their boot requirements.  The system information is located in the lower half of each model's page.  Look at G4s and early G5s.
    Note that anything that can run 10.4 or earlier will also support Classic.  Not all applications run well in Classic but many do.  If the primary purpose of the computer is to run this software it can be a bit tiresome to have to have Classic running all the time.  I find it okay to use but only work with it once a month for an hour or less.
    My computer (G4 Quicksilver) boots to early OS9 natively but can also run anything up to OSX 10.5.  I can boot to OS9 but have neve needed to do so.

  • What is the best laptop to run Premiere Pro cc?

    Hi everyone,
    I've been having a lot of problems with Premiere cc since I downloaded it a few months ago and am now realising the problem is with my computer.  I have a late 2012 Macbook Pro, 2.5 ghz, 8gb Ram, intel hd 4000 processor which just doesn't seem to have the juice to run Premiere pro smoothly.  If I do any kind of editing, even just colour correction, the footage gets very sticky when playing back in Premiere.  if I try anything advanced like adding warp stabilier the program crashes.  I also bought magic bullet looks and I can barely open it without the whole computer having a meltdown.
    This has been extremely frustrating and has made working with Premiere pro a nightmare.  I am now planning to buy a new laptop/pc and am looking for suggestions on what to buy.  i am looking for best bang for my buck.  While I would be willing to spend over a £1000 I would obviously prefer not to if I don't  have to.  I thought my Macbook Pro would have more than enough horsepower to handle it and have been left dissapointed and frustrated so would really appreciate some advice from the wider Adobe community on this.  I am also open to suggestions on desktops, not just laptops.
    Thanks!
    Tony

    To give you an example, if i have put warp stabilisation on a clip on my macbook I have to put it at 1/4 resolution for it to playback and even then it is extremely choppy and sticky and sometimes crashes the programme.  Last night on the budget desktop I was able to put it to full resolution and it played smoothly, just like it would if it had been exported.
    Any advice you could give on this would be much appreciated.  ive been round the traps with apple and adobe tech guys and neither of them can find anything wrong with the computer or the programme.
    Thanks,
    Tony

  • Required Nvidia card/GPU to run Premiere Pro on a Windows 8 laptop?

    Hello forum members,
    I want to run Premiere Pro CC on a Windows 8 laptop but I want to make sure I get an Nvidia card/GPU that is
    good enough and if there are any other specs for this laptop that I need to be able to run Premiere Pro CC well?
    Best, Jan Olsen

    I don't believe the standard edition includes a photoshop or photoshop elements plugin
