Thanks a lot for your quick answer Shane.
Tomorrow I' ll try to install Quick Time, the problem is that I have not permissions in my company to do it and I need to call IT department.
I' ll remember regarding Windows 10, at the moment with 7 for me is ok.
Thanks again,
Why don't you contact Eric at ADK? Their online "choose a machine" doesn't always configure things as they should for the best performance.
He is extremely knowledgeable and very honest about performance.
I've purchased two systems from ADK: my main video machine and my everyday machine which acts as a video backup machine.
I have been editing for years on Adobe certified workstations and continue to do so.
I decided to have a workstation built for me for home use and could not afford the full certified route (specs below). I am not tech so I had a young friend who builds gaming workstations order the parts and put it together for me.
For the price he has done a great job but I am experiencing some bottlenecks on playback.
He was convinced the speed of one SSD drive would be sufficient to run the operating system, premiere and media. In fact it does run pretty well but there is the occasional bottleneck that I would like to resolve.
The motherboard does not have a physical raid controller. I am wondering if adding one additional SSD and dedicating it to media, previews and cache would give me a significant boost in performance on playback.
Playback is P2 media from an HVX 200 camera. 1080 60i
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Kevin,
I got his same result the other day when this was posted. I concluded that the page may have been hacked, but that if it really was, a bunch of people would be reporting it.
Using your link above, I get the official Adobe page for feature request/bug report and I am logged in. I used the drop down for "select product," and pick "Adobe Premiere Pro." I ended on the page of his screenshot.
Today, I did not get his error page, but rather a new looking wish form at this address:
https://adobe.allegiancetech.com/cgi-bin/qwebcorporate.dll?58HS6A
So has the feature request/bug report been changed and outsourced? Or is the page hacked and the hackers cleaned it up enough to work?
Edit:
Forgot to add the image:
Also, when I go to adobe.allegiancetech.com, I get this login screen:
Do you have a Windows 64 bit operating system?
What is your full system specs?
I can't find cuda list in premiere contents
thank you@
Weaknesses in this system:
- Only 4-core, no hyper threading.
- Only 8 GB is not enough. You need at least 16 GB.
- Far outdated and very slow video card.
- Only a single relatively slow SSD.
- Limited PSU that prevents over clocking and the use of more powerful components.
Instead of adding a bit of memory here and a faster video card there, it makes more sense to start saving for a decent system, which is still a far way off from a workstation, but significantly faster than your current PC.
Also add to what cc_merchant has correctly said, however the ASUS z97-WS LGA1150 is limited I believe to 16 PCI lanes and you've already maxed that out with the GPU. I take it you're using the IEEE PCI for media ingest? You have no performance headroom from the get-go. Hard going if you want to upgrade your camera, you'll then likely have to upgrade your workstation too.
All I can suggest is you remove the IEEE PCI and see if it does improve, might not even be decernable - but it's simply not the one issue - it's spread across a number of things.

What are the best screen calibration setting for video editing, if you are shooting inside a room, without natural light?
Not really related to Prem Pro, however:
Use neutral grey scale to set Brightness (white saturation) and Contrast (black crush).
Ideally set:
Gamma: 2.2
White Point: 6500K (5800K with ambient lighting)
Brightness: 100-120 (cd/m)
Use a calibration device such as SpyderElite (above applies). Grade with a grey neutral background low level illuminated - easier on the eyes.

Thanks for the quick responses.
I was aware from the beginning that my home system would not be nearly as robust as my work system. However, for the price, it is performing reasonably well and I am able to edit comfortably on it as is even with the occasional dropped frame on playback.
My limitted understanding of tech led me to think that a single SSD for OS, programs and media was the source of the bottleneck. Clearly not the case.
That being said, I have to live/edit with my purchase. As you have both stated my system is maxed. Would you say there is no value in adding an SSD for media?
THanks again gain for your help on this.
Hi there
I have a PNG image of a logo that I put in the corner of my video as an overlay. After rendering, the logo comes out choppy for some reason... Wondering what's the best way to import an image to use as a logo overlay.
My render settings are as follows:
H.264
HDTV 1080p 29.97 high quality
profile: high
level: 5.1
VBR, 2 pass
target bit rate 32
max bit rate 40
I have a source video in 1080p that I want to output for Youtube and keep the best quality possible
Thank you
Paul,
Personally, and if you can put it towards your next build, it shouldn't make it any worse than it is now, although keep in mind you have a 550w PSU so you need to watch what you add - AND also only 8Gb RAM. Try and get your Media Cache on the fastest drive, although I've happily run 1080p with both media and cache on a 4xRAID 0 HDD. Also check out your drives are not indexing or compressing (right click and go to Properties). All part of the fine tuning - you may get some noticeable improvement, but it's not guaranteed.
Good luck
Claire
>value in adding an SSD for media
Having at least TWO drives is better than only one drive... and since an SSD uses less power than a spinning platter drive, you should be OK with your power supply
An EXAMPLE concerning trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
.
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like the operating system pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do file housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
.
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
.
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
.
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
how do I create the typewriter effect for titles?
Thanks
Try Andrew Kramer
Edit: Although this would be more suited to the After Effects Forum (Mod).

Agree with all of your comments Philipp. I just upgraded my PP CC to 2015 from 2014, what a mistake. Every time I do a change there are more bugs. Crash, crash, crash for the software. And Adobe this it is us?
Now the screens flash white bands and before and after software crashes.
I could not be more unimpressed with how this support for Adobe works. You can not upgrade, or change hardware with out crashes becoming a normal part of your day.
I am using an NVIDIA Quadro 2000 on an Intel Core i7 on Win 7/64. This always worked fine with CUDA and PP CC 2014. Upgrading to CC 2015 seems to cause a problem. If I start the program it opens the previously opened project (which used GPU acceleration) and displays an error message indicating hardware acceleration is not available. If I now close the program and immediately restart it I don't get that error any longer and that same project says that GPU acceleration is present.
It almost seems that the first time starting there is enough delay in the initial program load that it cannot detect the GPU correctly (perhaps some timing issue). When I restart the program most of the program may be cached in memory and the performance is good enough to enable the proper detection of the GPU.
If I come back another day I have to repeat this start/restart sequence to get GPU acceleration enabled.
It also seems that my rendering times have increased significantly with 2015. With GPU acceleration I could render a bit faster than real time using 2014. That is no longer possible with 2015.
Any thoughts on what might be going on?

I am working on a two hour video. I have just rendered it. It look terrible! I have quite a bit of experience with Adobe Premiere and I have never seen it do this before! What just happened? And how can I undo it?
Did you render to make for smoother PPro playback, or did you export to a new file?
