Re: Recommended System Specs for Video EditingJack, thanks for the tip on Neo Scene, I'll try that. And thanks for the info about the 4GB "limitation" in 32-bit OS. I forgot that a 32-bit OS can only access so many addresses!

Re: Recommended System Specs for Video EditingChuck and all. I just posted another link to the Adobe Premiere Elements>Tips & Tricks sub-forum. It contains links to another, companion article by Harm Millard.
I think that anyone, considering buying, or building a computer for NLE work, will benefit from this additional info. From the Adobe article, both of Harms's articles are linked - both the original on I/O setup and his new one. I also posted a link in the main PE forum, as too many never see the Tips & Tricks sub-forum. I hope that Steve does not mind. Hunt
Re: Recommended System Specs for Video EditingChuck, would you kindly update this thread to reflect new versions of PRE and new PC components? This will help me as I'm selecting an editing PC for my job.

Re: Recommended System Specs for Video EditingThis is still pretty much current Ron, I updated it not long ago.
It isn't a detailed list that includes specific makes and models of hardware, just a general idea of what to look for. Jack has a very nice updated post that has very specific recommendations. viewtopic.php?p=76947#p76947 1.

Re: Recommended System Specs for Video EditingRon,
What software will you be running on the new PC? What kind of cameras/type of video will you be using? Do you need 3D/animation/After Effects capability? What will be the delivery format of your videos? What is your budget (for the PC, not including software)? See this thread for my generic editing system builds at various price ranges. And there are 2 links in there that are good to read before planning a new editing PC build.

Re: Recommended System Specs for Video EditingThanks Jack and Chuck!
Answers to Jack's questions: Software - PRE9 and PSE9 Camera - Canon HV30 (DV AVI files) 3D/Animation/After Effects-not at this time but animation may be nice later Delivery format - QuickTime files that can be uploaded to YouTube PC Budget - $1500 Jack, I've crawled through your extremely helpful "PC for the $$$" thread many times. I plan to use your $1500 Newegg list to buy the parts for my next home machine in January. I'm waiting on Sandy Bridge. This current inquiry is for an editing PC at my job, however.

Re: Recommended System Specs for Video EditingRon, Does your company have a contract with HP or Dell?
There are some great deals on very nice machines at both companies. 1. Thinkpad W530 Laptop, Core i7-3820QM Processor 8M Cache 3.70 GHz, 16 GB DDR3, NVIDIA Quadro K1000M 2GB Memory.

Re: Recommended System Specs for Video EditingHiya Chuck! It has been a while.
I don't do too much video work anymore. Seems the kids are away in college and I don't seem to be shooting much video to turn into anything special. Having said this I am still running PE6 and PRE4. With Christmas here I thought I'd ask for at least PE9 to keep things up to date (as I still seem to collect still pictures), and I'm willing to consider PRE9, but I'm concerned my machine may not be able to handle it. My machine is Dell Dimension 5150, Pentium 4 CPU 3.0 Ghz, 1.5 G mem 128M Sapphire Radeon X300SE Video card, plenty of additional disk space. Will I have trouble running PRE9 with this?

Re: Recommended System Specs for Video EditingHi Bob, It's great to hear from you
If you are using standard definition video you won't have any problems I don't think. Might be a little weak for HDV and probably wouldn't work with the AVCHD cameras. Just keep version 4 around, there are a few things missing in version 9 that we didn't expect. 1.

Re: Recommended System Specs for Video EditingThanks Chuck. I guess I'll go for it. If I start in on the other formats I guess I'll just have to get a better computer!

Re: Recommended System Specs for Video EditingI've been dormant for a while here so have a bit to catch up on regarding system and hardware that performs well with video. Part of my dormancy is probably due to the difficulty I've had editing avchd with my old system. I always got he job done but it was slowwww.
Getting ready to pull the trigger on a new system, still doing the due diligence, but here is what I've got so far from a HP. Any input about what I,m getting ready to purchase would be appreciated. Especially the processor. Also, will my PE7 run with this new system?Thanks Genuine Windows 7 Professional 64-bit - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-980X six-core Extreme Edition [3.33GHz, 1.5MB L2 + 12MB shared L3 cache] - 12GB DDR3-1066MHz SDRAM [6 DIMMs] - 1TB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive (for system) * 1TB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive (for media ) - 3GB DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 [DVI, HDMI, VGA] - HP 2010i 20-inch Diagonal HD Ready Widescreen Monitor - Blu-ray writer & Lightscribe SuperMulti DVD burner Azus Sabertooth X58 1366 MB, 12GB DDR3 1600 RAM, Intel i7 960 CPU, Nividia GTX 470 Graphics, Intel 120GB SSD Primary Drive, 2- 10,000 RPM 300GB Velicoraptors in RAID 0, Seagate 500GB internal, 750W PSU, Win 7 Pro, BDH 20 burner, Canon HF20 HD camera.
Re: Recommended System Specs for Video EditingI still recommend against going for the 64-bit operating system unless you're using 64-bit programming. It can pose some problems interfacing programs like Premiere Elements with your drivers or connecting to your hardware.
Fewer people are complaining about this problem and it's likely Windows 7 SP1 will resolve a lot of it. But, for now anyway, you can improve the odds of success with Premiere Elements if you use the 32-bit rather than the 64-bit version of Windows 7. Though I'm sure there are some who may disagree with me. HP Envy with 2.9/4.4 ghz i7-10700 and 16 gig of RAM running Windows 11 Pro
