Which of these 2 Laptops would be best with Premiere Pro?

Need opinions between two laptops I'm eyeing as portable options for editing footage from my Canon HF S100.
Really just want a portable 14" laptop that I can do relatively basic editing AVCHD footage on Premiere Pro relatively smoothly when I'm travelling and some encoding with adobe media encoder. I don't care about battery life. I just want Premiere to play/edit AVCHD footage without the choppy video stuttering. I'm also hoping for some faster encoding times than my 4 year old current laptop. Both laptops are about the same price. The only major differences is a dual core i7 vs a quad core i7... 4gb of ram vs 6gb... 256mb video card vs. 512mb video card... and solid state hard drive vs. 7200rpm hard drive. Opinions?

a 17" laptop with a "DESKTOP" i7 and 3 internal drives will perform EXACTLY the same as a desktop with an i7 with 3 internal drives
(note i didnt mention raid 0 arrays)
if you dont need firewire for ingest (who does these days)
then you can use the Express slot and buy a Sonnet Array that connects vis the Express slot.
making it every bit as fast as a desktop
the only downside (and more to do with AE is the ram speeds are slightly slower)
FYI this is the ONLY laptop i think is good enough for video. the newer i7 mobiles are rather slow

Which of these 2 laptops would be my best choice for editing video?

I am going to get a new laptop mainly to use for LR and PS but I also want to be able to edit video. Which of these 2 laptops is my best option...
ASUS ROG G751JT-CH71
Intel Core i7-4710HQ 2.5 GHz
16 GB DDR3
1000 GB 7200 rpm Hard Drive
17.3-Inch Screen, Nvidia GTX970M 3GB GDDR5
Windows 8.1
Or
Acer Aspire V17 Nitro Black Edition VN7-791G-730V
Intel Core i7-4720HQ Processor (2.6 GHz)
16 GB DDR3 RAM
1 TB 5400 rpm Hard Drive, 256 GB Solid-State Drive
17.3-Inch Screen, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M
Windows 8.1, 4-hour battery life
Additionally, if you feel there is a better choice for $1500 or less, I would love to hear that advice as well. I would really appreciate your help in making this decision. Thanks!

Of the 2 the Asus everyday. You won't notice the difference in the CPU's but you will more so with the GPU's as the 970 is a decent step up from the 860m. Add in extra SSD/HDD and RAM (I believe it goes up to 32GB but check), and see if they have allocated the 16GB as 2x8GB sticks or 4x4GB sticks.
Other option I would suggest looking at a custom PC builder such as Cyberpower, Xotic or other (no affiliations, heck I don't even live in the same country). You will be able to get a much more tailored system with a better upgrade path within your budget. You will get better CPU, better GPU, RAM options up to 32GB and more flexible drive and msata combinations and most importantly some flexibility with the way the system is configured. Some are re-brands of popular gaming laptops, some are from the more custom line of chassis and some are just tweaked versions of your off the shelf names. Plus you don't have to crack the thing open to replace drives etc. that you are paying for but won't use due to slow speeds and the warranty implications that can come from doing this
Not saying buy this as you need to shop around and find what suits you best but as an example this is from Xotic.

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.

What laptop under $600 would work well with Premiere Pro?

I have a tight budget so I cant get anything too good. All I need is a laptop that can run Premiere Pro decently without taking a long time to load or freeze on me.

You have not specified what media you are editing. If you are only editing SD with a DV camera their may be possibilities, but who does that anymore?. If you are editing anything more complex than that (see Harms Tweakers pages, especially the "What about Laptops") you are out of luck. Now here is a used laptop $775 that has the required screen size, a quad core i7 hyperthreaded CPU, a 7200 rpm drive, and a couple of USB3 ports for "essentially" a second disk drive (if you choose the proper USB3 device).. The only shortcoming is the AMD GPU, and if your editing is very basic You might get by without GPU accelerated MPE effects and features.

Which of these 3 laptops would you recommend

Hi,
I got it down to the final 3 laptops that I like. Which one would you suggests. I'm looking for something that's fast, has lots a hard drive space, good monitor and a blue ray player would be nice.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sony+-+VAIO+Laptop+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B+i3+Processor+...

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+Laptop+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B+i3+Processor+-+...

All 3 of these machines are solid! My personal opinion would be to get the Toshiba, love the battery life and they just make some great machines. I've never been huge on Vaio's, I feel you pay a little too much for the name. As far as the Samsung goes, I am in love with both Samsung models my store has in stock, only thing I'm unsure about is how they will do. We don't have a vast track record for Samsung and consumer laptops.
All in all, these machines are all rock-solid but I'd have to lean towards the Toshiba as my personal opinion.

Which Mac Pro System works best with Premiere Pro CC?

I am looking to upgrade my 12 core tower to the newer Mac Pro. I am wondering if anyone out there has suggestion as to what makes the most sense financially in terms of which flavor of Mac Pro to get? For example, Is there a significant speed increase between the 8 core vs 12 core, and the D500 Vs the D700 Video Cards ? And how much RAM ? Normally the temptation is to go out and get the maxed out system, but reading though the forums with the various issues people are having with performance on the newer Mac Pro's and Premiere, would be great to know how it stacks up in the real world.
Appreciate any input in this regard.
Cheers
Chris

MtD
Yes, thanks I forgot about that. I was just going by what I have, which is an older model so I can apparently just replace it with a newer Quadro.
I'm no apple hardware expert and I'm not sure how the ports are setup. Apple's official support site only lists the AMD cards Chris mentioned for their most recent model, but that's also listed as late 2013 which doesn't seem right either. (or is it?) Note that they also list my mid-2010 model as only supporting ATI Radeon HD 577 and 5870 but I've been running a Quadro FX4800 in it with good results for several years, so I know that part's not right. So I'm not sure I'd take that site entirely literally, but of course you would not want to risk getting the wrong card. You should probably enlist the help of apple support (and/or forums) to get more details and assurance before purchasing, but bottom line is you'll want something with plenty of RAM (~ 4 GB or higher if possible) which will also be compatible with CUDA and or OPenCL playback in prpro.

Which OSX version works best with Logic Pro 7.2

Hello everyone,
Was hoping i could get some opinions on which osx version works best with logic 7.2
i currently have OSX 10.4.2 but i would like to update at least to 10.4.3 (that is least required to run logic as stated in install manual)...
should i go for 10.4.4, 10.4.5 or 10.4.6 ?
which would run best with logic pro 7.2?
thanks much everyone
Quad G5 2.5ghz 3GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.2)
Quad G5 2.5ghz 3GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.2)

10.4.5 was rock solid for me, and three days into heavy Logic use at 10.4.6 is proving to be just as good.
Get caught up, and go ahead and update to 10.4.6

I'm in the market for a laptop. Which of Apple's laptops will I best connect 2 external monitors/displays?

I'm in the market for a laptop. Which of Apple's laptops will I best connect 2 external monitors/displays?

I've just bought a Pro Retina. As far as I know this is the only one which will connect 2 external monitors running different programmes ie not cloned.
You use the 2 thunderbolt ports for the DVIs (if they're not Apple monitors)
You need 2 thunderbolt to DVIs. MiniDisplay port to DVI might work too (MIGHT WORK! Not sure yet) and these are a lot cheaper.

Which wireless all in one printers work best with ipad 4

Please help me decide which wireless all in one printer works best with the ipad 4. I am looking for better photo printing quality, but not the very best. I am concerned mainly with being able to set up the printer using only my ipad 4 and wireless router, as I do not own a PC with a cd/rom. I am also interested in which brand of compatible printers is less expensive to buy ink and paper for. I would prefer a more compact unit. Thank you in advance for any advice.

These days I prefer Brother printers. They appear to have engineered their printers with AirPrint as well as OS X compatibility from the start, unlike certain others who appear to have included it as an afterthought.
Brother's models are inexpensive, their ink is also inexpensive and lasts a long time, and their photo quality is at least as good as anyone else's. They have a two year warranty and lifetime free technical support with people who understand Apple.
Read the reviews (Amazon for instance, but be sure to read user reviews on the various manufacturer's websites as well) and decide for yourself.
Brother™ Monochrome Laser Printer and All-in-One models now support AirPrint.
Brother™ Color Inkjet All-in-One units now support AirPrint.
I positively detested every inkjet printer I ever had until I bought the Brother.

HT1349 which Sound Dock Music System will work best with my new iPod Touch 5th genertion

Which Sound Dock Music System will work best with my new iPod Touch 16GB 5th generation ?
I have been reading on line about how many don't. So what does. This was one of the main reasons I bought it. Will it work in one of the Bose Sound Dock Systems ?

paula393 wrote:

I have heard of no such problems with connection.
Regarding sound, it's simply a matter personal preference. My suggestion is to go to the nearest Apple Store and try out a couple. Each of the products at the store have passed an extensive vetting process. The Specialists are willing to work with you and may even open a box or two. Don't be unreasonable and expect to spend a half-day opening all the different models. In other words, don't abuse their willingness to provide stellar customer service.
Better yet, direct your eyballs to the store shelf or the Apple website. That's really all you need to know.

The biggest problem with the Asus in question is that it will be really hard to upgrade it and I still did not find a model with SSD.
I found a comparision review here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Asus-N550JV-CN201H-Notebook.98311. 0.html
The Asus scores better in the cinebench sector (slightly with OpenGL and much with CPU) and the Lenovo is better in the Pcmark7 and the 3dmark11. What are these tests? and which one is more important when it comes to video editing?
Thank you again for your time and efferts
P.S. I am studying the article about Hard disks, it is really interesting!!! thanks
Correct it is a 17-inch, and of course it weighs and costs slightly more than a 15.6-inch
It is a very simple task to upgrade the unit to an dual SSD system, and memory upgrade is very easy. You undo one screw on the bottom and (below) this is what you see. Two disk drive carriers with my SSD's installed and two 8 GB SODIMM add on RAM modules
Those benchmarks have very little to do with editing with Premiere, there is only one real comperhensive Premiere benchmark it is our PPBM.

Which Digidesign interfaces work best with Logic Pro ?

Can anyone tell which of these work best with Logic if any at all?
- Digi-003
- M-Box Pro
- M-box2
- M-Box mini
- M-Powered

Thanks for the posts
After hearing complaints about latency, driver
issues, horrible quality,incompatibility with there
plugs in logic as well as no chance to stand against
performances and sound quality of other hardware half
there prices i thought to ask.
Wow. All that??? And then they recommend Migraine-Audio to you??? I don't think those posters know what they are talking about.
I've been using Logic since it could be used with Digidesign hardware, from version 4.8.1, and it has always worked very well.
It does pay to research the setting up of a DAW computer, as it is almost never just "plug-n-play" like many people believe. But once it is set up, it can run for years without problems. Most people experience problems because they change the setup, install free plugins, change audio gear, every other day of the week, and of course, that makes for a very unstable situation. No wonder they complain. But it is their tech-ethic they should be complaining about, not the equipment.
Can anyone verify there set ups and latency?
Here's one extensive test I did on my Digi 002R:
http://nicksevilla.com/logicpro-som/LogicTests.html
The latency is the same as with other comparable FireWire interfaces. Not more, and not less.
i wont drag this out into a long post i just want a
round about, all logic users in other forums seem to
be against Digi hardware, most advised to buy the
cheapest possible M-Audio interface just to run M
Powered Pro Tools if i realy need PT at all.
Really??? All of them???And did they know they are advising you to buy stuff that actually does NOT work properly??? Shame on those posters you read, as Digidesign drivers are a LOT more stable that the Migraine-Audio ones. Digidesign themselves told me to stay away from M-Audio... so you read into that whatever you like. I'll keep that advise from them.

What is the best PC laptop to use with Premiere Pro 2014?

I'm excited that I get to buy a NEW LAPTOP!!!
I'm editing a documentary with tons of footage. I'll use external SSD drive for files.
What is the best PC laptop to get for editing movies on Premiere Pro 2014?
I can spend up to $1500
Thanks SO MUCH for your help!!!!

premiere will run fine with the 7200rpm hdd. while editing, if your hdd/ssd isn't fast enough it will stutter and skip as it cant feed the data fast enough to premiere. thats with high bitrate footage, if you are using low bitrate footage the 7200rpm might work ok to hold your footage too. odds are that external samsung ssd will be fast enough to hold the media, project cache and any preview files. you shouldn't need another external hdd for export/render.
the ssd for internal will let windows boot faster and let programs open and close faster. once windows is loaded and programs are opened, they load into ram. there is little to be gained after that for ssd/hdd speeds while using most programs.

What is the best way to organise remote collaborative editing with Premiere Pro CC

I am writing to enquire about a solution for a collaborative project between two filmmakers in different countries. Ideally, we would be able to have a cloud media library that could be referenced by both of us as well as a project folder with work in progress that would allow one of us to review the other’s progress or pick up editing where the other left off.
It is a relatively small scale project and I’m not sure what would be the best platform on which to base it. We are currently both using Adobe Premiere Pro CC but it is the cloud library aspect which concerns me. We would need approximately 2TB of space in order to accommodate all of the footage and work in progress sequences.
My immediate thought was to use the cloud storage integrated with CC, but as far as I'm aware there is not an option to increase storage size to the amount we would need. My second thought was to use something like Google Drive or Dropbox, but someone has told me that it is not suitable due to issues in Premiere Pro referencing the files? I'm not sure I completely understand the issue, hence the reason for writing.
Thanks

Adobe sells the Adobe Anywhere platform for collaborative editing, but it's not a realistic option for small-scale projects due to the huge investment in hardware required for the servers. Premiere in desktop mode isn't designed for parallel editing - two people cannot have the same PRPROJ file open at the same time, and you cannot merge changes from two separate copies - so if you're sharing the project file on a cloud service you will have to ensure that only one editor is working at any moment. Without active file locking, that has to be done through a manual process (phoning to confirm handover, etc.).
Sharing your original source footage on a cloud service isn't necessary as Premiere won't be changing those files - so the inexpensive option is to distribute copies on hard drives to both editors, and/or for the primary editor to set up a proxy workflow so the project files are much smaller. Both editors then work of locally-saved copies of the footage and download the updated PRPROJ file from the cloud service when the work hands over. Premiere can rebuild its preview/cache files provided it has the source material and the project file in the same place, so both editors would set up the same absolute folder names - don't work from a My Documents or ~library folder!
