![]() We have this little thing called "the internet" and YouTube now. We no longer need these obsolete devices. You still need a second high speed drive for cache if at all possible.Į) Betacam SP video deck + cabling and deck control to the computer for digitizing and exporting. Another reason users have trouble with performance. Rarely do you find a separate high speed drive for media cache and video render files. You still need fast SSDs for your media with plenty of drive space.ĭ) Scratch Disk: High speed disk for cache files, audio mixdown files, and video preview files. When queried about an editor's media drive, I find that many don't even use one. You see a lot of complaints around performance. All media needs to live on a separate SSD connected over Thunderbolt min. These days, rarely do editors even use fast hard drives for media, much less a second drive for media at all. It took 36 GB for a 30 minute show with good enough res to layback to Betacam SP. Ear buds are for students and hobbyists.Ĭ) RAID Array: We placed our standard def media (not even HD) on extremely fast drives, over 10,000 RPM. Yes, you should still strive to use studio audio monitors. Usually why audio "mistakes" are commonplace and not caught. "Headphones" in your cubicle is the current replacement (ugh). It's also why you see complaints on the forums around "color" and the confusions surrounding it working w/o a good monitor.ī) Studio Audio Monitors. In a real world studio, you'd have this monitor in your current setup. For this, you needed a video capture card. That still pretty much holds true, even 25 years later!įor the record, the other crucial components were:Ī) Video Program Monitor (not the computer monitor, with the UI playing in it. As the most important component, Premiere Pro (and in the past for me: Avid MC, FCP, Media 100) required hardware to be specially configured, even beefed up, significantly over the requirements of standard applications in order for it to function properly. When I learned NLE in the mid 90s, a computer was but one component of a NLE system. I can pass off this story to you to provide some historical perspective. It's all in the way you think of your NLE. Like I just said, I am a big fan of overkill and you should be too. System requirements are not customized and your mileage may vary. You could "get away with" less RAM if your requirements are not editing 2K features or stacking up sources a mile high. Editors create movies that are, at times, more than 2 hours long or may be 2 minutes but have 99 video tracks. long really do not test the rigors of a supported Premiere Pro editing system. You can never have a large enough client monitor. You can never have too much screen real estate. Your hard drives can never be large or fast enough. ![]() There is no such thing as overkill when it comes to computer power for your NLE. I want to know why is needed and in which situations I need so much RAM, may be I'm not doing the few steps that you normally do in editing that eat so much RAM.Īre you new to editing? First rule of our fight club: I've done the basic things in a 2min 4K video and couldn't pass 6GB of RAM. ![]() I believe it's kind of overkill for what I want to do, but reading that you need 16GB made me ask this question here and check how true is that. I pretend to edit 4K footage, may be at 60 fps in some ocassions, most of the time 24fps, and my main PC has 2x2GB RAM + 2x4GB RAM, total of 12GB in Dual Channel. never went to 6GB, and it had permission to use 95% of the RAM. I played back the video, added some effects, filters. Exported some 1080 footage, and noticed that the RAM barely got up to 5GB out of 8GB, that's the whole system, take like 2-2.5GB for Windows. These numbers sound to me incredibly high, but I'm no expert at Premiere. I've read that you need 8GB of RAM for small non HD projects, and a minimum of 16GB of RAM if you want to do 1080 or 4K. ![]() I've read that you need "plenty" of RAM for Adobe Premiere. ![]()
