Hello Everyone,
First off I am not a 'computer guy' in terms of specs so I am sorry if I get confused, sound confusing, or have left anything important out. I have been messing around trying to get my computer to work good enough to edit in premiere pro cc (with some effects: color correct/grade, sharpen, simple titles) - Nothing to difficult. Also a few effects in Adobe After Effects. But whatever I do I can not get my computer to run decently smooth! In premiere pro it'll get so slow the program will crash frequently with 1080p timeline no longer than 6-7 min w/ colorgrade. I can not play the timeline back smoothly at all - somtimes 1/4 compression will playback with minimal effects like simple color correction. I would like to be able to at least watch my footage in premiere in real time at at least 1/4 compression - 1/2 preferred - obviously full if possible. Also Rendering seems very slow - a 5:30 video with simple effects (color grade, sharpening) takes almost 5 hours at 1080p?? This all is with xavc-s 1080p footage. I started shooting 4k and would like to edit in 4k so I know I need to upgrade or get something entirely new.
Things I have done:
1) Enabled the Mercury Playback Engine in premiere pro to run off my GPU instead of software.
2) Upgraded to SSD (256gb samsung 850 pro).
3) 2ea 7200rpm HDD and 1ea SSD - an HDD with Files -an HDD with exports and cache files - an SSD with OS (windows 10 pro) and programs. I am not running any sort of raid (I have researched it a bit but not comfortable enough with my knowledge of it yet)
4) Have run different types of virus scans - no viruses
5) Unistalled/Reinstalled Premiere and After Effects
6) Tried converting my footage to proxies (works better until effects are added)
7) In premiere pro I have dedicated 18gb ram to the program and 6 to everything else.
8) I have nothing else in the background while I edit.
9) I have optimized rendering for performance.
My Computer Specs:
-Custom Built Desktop (late 2014) PC with windows 10 pro 64bit operating system
-Intel Core i5-3570 CPU @ 3.4GHz - 4 Cores - can overclock to 3.8GHz
-24GB Ram - Kingston Hyper X Blu 8 GB (2x4GB Modules) 1600MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 XMP Desktop Memory - KHX1600C9D3B1K2/8GX
- MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 OC 2GB GDDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card N760 TF 2GD5/OC
- Asus P8Z77-V LK Intel Z77 DDR3 LGA 1155 Motherboards
- EVGA SuperNOVA NEX750B 80PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V/EPS12V 750W Power Supply 120-PB-0750-KR
- 2 HDD (2Tb ea) Seagate Barracuda 2 TB HDD SATA 6 Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive ST2000DM001
- 1 SSD Samsung 850 Pro 256gb
I hope I have given enough information and truly appreciate any advice/help!
Should I upgrade to i7/ better graphics card? more ram? More storage (ssd/hdd)? Is it the xavc-s footage that is the problem? or is there something else I can do? Or a complete rebuild? Just seems like it should not be this slow. THANKS!
