@@RobertoBlake yup, that's true and it really helped and useful for noobs like me who would otherwise have no chance of climbing the knowledge ladder without the basics you gave
@@RobertoBlake Hello Roberto. I just subscribed. I'm an editor with a 6 core AMD. I have a couple questions do you mind. Keith Kuhn KK Motion Pictures also on UA-cam
I remember just 10 years ago I did a lot of graphic video rendering. It would take hours to render a 5 min video.Now it take 3 to 4 min with my I7 6700 16gigs of ram and an Asus ROG Strix 1070 OC and 1 Tb SSDTimes do change on the PC world
i will be buying a laptop soon. i wonder which is better. i7 6th gen dual core with nvidia gt 960m or i5 6th gen quad core with nvidia 1050. both 16gb of ram and an hdd at 7200rpm. please i hope someone answers me.
I think this guy is great! Im a 62 yr old end user. I do video. I need graphics. He gives you the answers and doesnt go on with a documentry type speel. This is what you need. Look for this. Simple. Most of these pro give way to much geeky stuff and include exerts for gamers. YUK! THANKS FOR YOUR DIRECT APPROACH.
Indeed! I've learned so much from him. I subscribed immediately and it's the best thing I've ever done lol. I finish projects faster and feel like I actually KNOW my system and what I'm doing without being an IT graduate. :-)
It's nice to see this video suggested near the top when I was searching Premiere tutorials. I'm switching from movie maker to premiere but it's cool to see a video focusing on whether CPU or GPU is more important.
5 years later I found this and still a helpful video too. I don't know if its because of my history, but most of my video recommendations about these topics focuses more on gaming which is not really what I need. so thank you man
As someone who edits all their own videos on both a budget and (now Im definitely not on a budget) I can say you can literally get away with a super cheap or even integrated GPU. Even a cheap 4gb GPU is WAYYYYY more than enough. CPU on the other hand you can get away with an i5 6 core for most things. If you're doing just cut and stitch and a little txt and a little graphic overlay on sub 15 mins videos then you're good. If you think you'll be doing some involved projects with many layers then maybe look into I7 or Ryzen 5+ Idk why he says get a 400-500 dollar GPU. I literally grew to over 100k subs on a 500 ENTIRE COMPUTER with hickups only on my very involved videos.
For people not used to building their own systems, keep in mind that you can't just buy a new 6 or 8-core CPU and slap it in your existing machine...you need to also buy a motherboard that supports it...and that also affects what kind of RAM you can use. Also, any time you buy a new motherboard, you usually have to buy a new Windows license. So, changing CPUs can be a major investment beyond just the cost of the CPU.
Been looking for some good information on this for the longest time. I brought that same card in hopes slightly better rendering times(which it does help out) but not the gains i hoped for. Can't believe i never checked you channel. Thank you.
Hey man great video. Can Adobe Premiere Pro work with Intel's integrated graphics or do you need a discrete GPU? If you need a discrete GPU what NVIDIA GPU would you recommend. Budget wise?
Love the video thanks, i wonder if sony vegas movie studio 10 from years ago will be able to do more than 4 cores. Do they have to update to allow for more cores or it just knows. I think FSX flight simulator from before cores were around doesn't get better with more cores
When on a budget, is it better a modest i5 3rd gen + dedicated GPU or just i7 3rd + intergrated graphics? I don't do after effects, just plain editing for esoteric youtube channel but I just want my 1080p footage to run smoothly when playback and cutting and doing simple transitions. Thanks a lot!
very nice and clear speaking. I mean also the way, pronounciation is perfect. much appreciated. do you think it is worth the money to spend on 1070 over 1060? And the STRIX over the DUAL setup? It seems there is just minor difference between strix and dual but the first one has higher consumption and is much hotter..the purpose would be 4k editing and scaling to FHD. I am interested in your thoughts. thanks in advance.
Thanks for this, i just built a pc with ryzen 5 2600x but i didnt have the budget to buy a proper gpu so i used my super old 9500gt. while editing its noticeably slower in scrubbing specially with effects added, but its fast enough while rendering. is it because of the gpu? Will adding like a gtx 1050ti improve it significantly? Thanks!
This was helpful. Currently trying to decide between two 15" 2015 Macbook Pro's. One of them has the 2.8GHz processor with the stock graphic card. 355 battery cycles. $1560. The other is the 2.5 GHz and and an AMD Radeon R9. 37 battery cycles. $1950 I really only do video and audio editing with Premiere and Audition, not much After Effects. On top of that, you said to spend more money on the processing and I have a chance to get better processing for less money. I think I'll go with the 2.8GHz :) Thanks!
Thanks for explanations! :) So, I was wrong by focusing 100% on GPU (ignoring CPU entirely), I can get better rendering performance. But, yeah, as you said in the video, CPU takes bigger role in video rendering. That makes sense as I recently got stressed when rendering around 3 minutes of video, I still have to wait around 15-20 minutes to finish. Turns out, after upgrading to GTX1050, now I realized, GPU only helps on playback, not the entire encoding.
You know I had to go back on the video several times to finally figure out what the hissing noise was until I finally looked the screen in the background and s Darth Vader ; ) * As always great practical advice, keep up the good work and um "May the force be with you."
Thank you so much for posting, I had a gut instinct it was the cpu and you confirmed this for me with so many solid reasons. I'm going to start working to save up and build my new pc with a quality cpu and work around that. Also I love your concise narration, you don't ramble on about a bunch of other sutff and just cut to the chase!
Hi Roberto.. Great video! I have a i7 6700k (32GB Ram)and I just started getting into video editing using Premiere Pro and learning After Effects. I want to get a decent video card for my PC for this purpose. I was looking at the ASUS GeForce GTX 1660 Overclocked 6GB, would that be an ok card in your opinion? And if not what would you recommend?...Thanks for sharing your knowledge. :)
GOOD explanation... my 4gb of VRAM for GPU 3D rendering in After Effects with the CUDA drivers is RIDICULOUSLY fast. If i used my CPU for 3D-ray tracing, even though i have 4.0ghz per core... it's SLOW without that GPU help. Now for just editing and such... the cores pay off as well. It's all basically just like EATING properly. It's not good to have just carbs, protein, essential fats, or water, you want a good balance of every category.... same with Graphics Card, Processors, RAM, HDD speed. I dig how you explain it too! ***** The BEAUTY of Adobe now is Creative Cloud being able to work on the SAME project in mac and/or windows! Things are amazing these days!
ProAppleTech It does for 3D ray tracing rendering in After Effects... it does some for rendering in Premiere Pro, also! the Mercury something or another.. cant remember what it's called haha BUT... it makes 3D rendering like making a bowl of cereal! for real! haha If you have a descent Graphics card though.
Jeremy Williamson sorry, but imma bit confused. do you need CPU for video editing or 3d renderring or both or u need cpu for one of them or both or is there some that need that and others need this
ProAppleTech I actually use BOTH... but GPU (4gb VRAM) for 3D rendering, and CPU (4.0 - 4.4 ghz) for non-3D rendering. GPU video rendering isnt really a common thing, though many do it because Nvidia has the CUDA plug-in driver for AMD graphic cards in the newer iMacs. So, instead of my 4gb of VRAM going to waste, only being used for screen's, pixels and stuff... I can use that RAM to help render 3D graphics in After Elements using Element 3D and things like that to be SOOOOO MUCH FASTER! Make sense? My iMac is a 27" 5k screen.. so I set it around 2560x1440 (mid-setting), use hdmi for another HD monitor for editing, and then use just VGA connectors for extra monitors only being used for extra space to have my Finder App open for accessing any files that I need, and whatever else... web-browsing, emailing, etc.
everyone is saying the opposite coz i've heard that 3d rendering needs cpu and video rendering needs GPU (sometimes cpu) is that right or CPU for video editing (sometimes gpu) and 3d rendering always gpu?
Nice one mate .. you sound like an Ace! The think that you confirmed for me is that a 1070 is good for video editing .. I used to wonder if the gaming cards do not do well in v.editing as they are more geared to churning out fps? I guess the more cuda cores the better for v.edits as well .. but to what extent the GPUs get used compared to the CPUs seems to be a mixed bag? Cheers.
Good solid advice here from Roberto. Well researched. No incorrect information here as far as I can tell, which you see a lot in these kinds of videos. 50,000 views so far. Well-deserved. ^Kevin (@AdobeCare DVA Support).
Great video. Quick question. I'm considering getting an imac desk top with 4k retina and with a quad core i7 processor. My debate is to stay at 8 gb of ram or upgrade to 16 gb of ram. My main purpose is to edit music videos (my own basically) and promotional documentaries for myself as i'm a singer songwriter. The only multi tasking I would do while editing video is maybe looking at the video footage in a separate player like quick time to double check the footage. So with this knowledge, what is your recommendation for my use of this. 8 gigs or 16 gigs of ram?
THANK YOU SO MUCHHH!!! YOU FINALLY ANSWERED MY QUESTION AFTER MONTHS!!!! I was trying to find out what was most needed for video editing and why my after effects is so bad when I edit, like it crashes, loads slow when putting effects and etc. Finally thank you! 1:00
Awesome video - liked & suscribed! But can you tell me how to increase rendering in the timeline for video-previews? Premiere only uses about 30-40% of my cpu!
Thanks for the great videos Roberto. I'm still confused, others say get a high end GPU while others say just get a regular one. Which GPU is sufficient for editing and producing UA-cam videos? thanks
I have the top of the line surface pro (it's battery is horrible when doing anything too video intensive) and now looking to build a new computer. Preferably I'll do what I did with my last computer build, best cpu and a basic gpu, then upgrade the gpu, upgrade the ram, but probably start with the fasted and best SSD so I'm not having to change OS in an upgrade. I figure buying elements bit by bit will work better than buying everything in a lump sum and saving bit by bit instead. That way I can use a machine sooner, and just upgrade it over time. Do you think that's a sound strategy? I'll be using it for video editing, recording of game play, and also visual and graphic art, maybe a bit of 3d animation too down the track.
Yes...balance cpu over 4 cores over 16gb ram gpu vram 6-12gb gaming edit some 3d 16gbplus serious 3d. Both multi gpu or sli mix results. Sli is gaming but also 3d work render not much for video render. Photoshop or music edit dont use alot power requirements as you said.
really loved how you explained everything. btw. i have a intel I-5 3460 @ 3.20 GHz and 4GB Ram. recently i have started editing videos on Adobe premiere pro and Adobe after effects. My pc lags a lot and hardly allows me to edit. looking to buy a graphics card and probably more RAM as well. what do you suggest for doing everything in 200-300$ ?
Hi that was really informative. Question: I have an old i3 3rd Gen 3.3Ghz. I want to upgrade but my budget is only $420. Is it worth it if i buy a GTX 1070 instead of buying a new i7-6700k? because if i do buy the i7, I also have to buy a new motherboard and new DDR4 RAMs I use AE and Premiere CC
Thoughts on the new Macbook Pro GPU's? The options are Radeon Pro 450 (2gb) , 455 (2gb), and 460 with 4gb of ram. Which one would be best for for video editing- (visual effects, color grading).. Each are $200 more expensive than the next.
CrackaLackTV i have a question if i7 can cut the rendering time = have smooth playback? I not rush to done the job I just try to make my editing will go smooth and enjoyable. but now am on a budget if I go with i5 7600,16g ram, 1050ti can make my video playback smooth and get the job done? with using photoshop lightroom after effect and premiere pro? or I necessary need to go i7?
Hi! I know this is an old video but would you think a 2019 MacBook Pro with 2.3ghz 8core i9 processor, 16gb ram, and Radeon pro 5500M with 8GB vram would be sufficient for present day 4K video editing? How long do you think this setup would last me, 5 more years? I would appreciate your feedback and help. Thanks!
It's interesting to hear you make the comments about RAM. It's time for me to move from a DDR3 to DDR4 setup--finally-- and I noticed how much more expensive DDR4 was these days. Nice to know I might be able to skrimp by with just the 16, upgradable later.
Is the Hp Omen good for photography and video editing? The specs are i7 9th gen 16Gb with a 1TB HDD and 256Gb and 1060nvdia.....love your videos, thanks.
Super helpful video. I'm taking a class in IT where we have to build a theoretical computer specifically for multimedia and this vid gave me a lot of good resources and info
Hi there Roberto, I'm a big fan of your channel and I have a question for you about 30 fps X 60 fps videos = lightning and colors. I don't have a 60fps camera, so I couldn't try it by myself. But I was watching videos in UA-cam comparing these frame rates and I noticed lightning and especially colors are different between 2 videos shot at the same location, same time of the day, same camera settings. Have you ever noticed this as well?
The MP4 format and settings are almost the same as I use for Magix Movie Edit Pro. Thanks for showing this. Why does YT always say processing will be faster in a streaming format? How can that be done with MP4 or maybe in can't?
The way you go about presenting information is very pleasant. You're not selling anything and it feels like that. Some channels seem to be persuaded when they give their info. Thank you for this video.
Hi sir, my laptop has i7-9750H Gtx 1650 8gb RAM 256 SSD 1Tb HDD Do you think this specs can perform better in premiere pro and after effetcs? Thanks! 😊
Hi, thank you for this. Me and a pal started a architecture firm, as we will also do 3D modeling and possibly animation as well. We have two computers so, both 16GB RAM, Core i7, and Nvidia GPU with 4GB. The editing is fine but the problem is on the rending times, it takes too long. We want to cut the rendering times, so we are looking into investing in render farms!!! But we do not really know where to start or how to go about really. Any advice?
i hope you see this, becsause i am trying to decide between getting a 16inch macbook pro or a dell xps 17inch but i do not know. I am trying to get a better computer for after effects and adobe premiere but I do not know which will be better for longegevity. If you could provide assistance in any way possible I would greatly appreciate it.
Do you need a good graphics card if you only transcode/encode video? I have a lot of recordings from a drone (4k) and want to convert it to other playable formats. My current PC (Intel Core i3 2500k, 16Gb DDR3, AMD Radeon 6700 HD) is doing great (almost 1x at 720p) and I'm wondering if a newer (Intel Core i5 8400, 16Gb DDR4) would make a huge difference without having an expensive graphics card?
Hey Roberto, the CPU I use is an Intel Core i5 4670 processor with 3.4 GHz and 4 cores. I use this processor for video editing. My motherboard is capable of going to an i7 but I chose i5. Do you think my CPU is too slow for video editing?
Very helpful video! I want to buy a 2nd hand HP EliteBook 8570w with i7 3rd gen. processor and mainly use it for video editing. 4k editing as well if possible, using proxy. Specs are: i7-3720qm - 2.6 GHz - 4 cores 8 threads - 6 MB cache 8 GB RAM (upgradable to 32 GB) NVIDIA Quadro K2000M (2 GB GDDR3) 320 GB HDD (7200 RPM) (maybe I'll add in an SSD later to that as well) Do you think this is good enough or am I better of buying a new laptop with twice the price? Yes, I want a laptop as I travel a lot. Thank you :)
How about the video editor program, are all utilizing the CPU / GPU in the same ways... or do we have some sw that will pass the work to one over the other?
Hello Rob! May I ask you who is hosting your website? Not sure if I should go for Bluehost or Godaddy, or maybe Wix? Thanks for all your great videos ;D
I'm currently moving most of my business stuff over to Bluehost and Recommend them. Right now they have a sale going on! If you can't afford the upfront prepay cost then I recommend Hostgator and I'm currently building a Microsite there for web design tutorials. Wix is a good starter solution if you don't know how to code and I'm working on something with them especially since for a lot of UA-camrs it would help them because they need a free or affordable website. Namecheap is where I'm going to be hosting a few Niche websites I'm developing that will provide free content on specific topics and also help promote some of my videos and some product launches I have planned over the next 24 months. If you decided to go with any of these I'd appreciate you using my affiliate links: robertoblake.com/bluehost robertoblake.com/hostgator robertoblake.com/wix robertoblake.com/namecheap
Roberto Blake : Is it better to select Metal for the Mercury Playback Engine settings in Premiere when setting up a new project or is Open CL better? What's the major difference?
I'm new to video editing and building my first rig and also starting a UA-cam channel . Would a i7 7600 and 1060 be ideal for premiere and photoshop. I can't find that much info on the 1060. Mostly everyone is recommending the 1070. Is rendering really that much slower on the 1060?
Mr roberto i want to ask somenthing Recently i wanna make a game with kinda good texture and rendering thing like that But i have to choose the graphic card which the option is rx 550 4gb or rx 560 2gb The question is which graphic card its really rocking in to the texture and animation things I hope you can reply my comments :)
Hey Roberto, I've been checking out a few of your videos again. Great content as ever. I recently purchased myself a late 2015 27" 5k iMac as an upgrade from my late 2013 Macbook pro. 13". I got the core i5 with 1TB fusion drive and ATI graphics. I had originally planned to wait until after the MBP was no longer usable to finance a new Mac, However, with the way apple is going with their thin and non upgradable direction. I decided to do it now so I could get an iMac I could still upgrade Ram later on in. I've also considered building my own PC, but being invested in Apple's software, felt that would turn out to be a bigger investment then a new Mac, as I would have to buy new software as well as hardware. Since I no longer need a Laptop I could probably sell this one to help pay off the new mac quicker. I've gone to an iPad for my portable device, it's more comfortable then a laptop for me. FYI, the iMac has a SkyLake CPU with 4 cores. I plan on investigating 4k content more and more as it comes out. I've already got a 4k TV which has been great. Great content as always! -- Clint
What u need help in is finding a computer for me to be able to edit without any hiccups like choppy playback. I currently have a 2012 MacBook pro with 16gb of ram. Not sure what core but I can't play back smooth video even in 1/4 quality and it just gives me a headache. I was looking into a surface pro 4 i7 16gb ram but I'm afraid of it doing the same since its not a full fledged computer. So I'm also looking into the iMac i7 and upgrade to 32gb ram but if I can save some money then please help me. Would be great. Thanks!
So I am planning to build a good PC for editing, designing and possibly gaming. Will an AMD FX8350 (CPU) and a GTX 970 STRIX DCU II OC (GPU) be good for my PC build? I want my PC under £500($739). I just cant find I good budget CPU at around £150 for rendering and designing.
Thanks, have been seeing a lot of the gaming graphics stuff but more interested in the audio and video editing. This vid might be a few years out of date but the concepts still hold. :)
Great video and explanation. NVIDIA is selling their founder's edition cards at really good prices. This post is pre-Ampere - their 2080S is $700 USD, 2070S $500 and 2060S is $400. Also 32GB of RAM is cheap now, under $200 for 3200 MHz DDR4. CPUs are well priced too - the Ryzen 7 or 9 series (pre TX CPUs). Your video did a great job explaining why the CPU and GPU are important for editing. Adobe's been utilizing a lot of GPU VRAM in their programs now.
Brilliant! This really helped reassure my assumptions on hardware performance specifically for video editing. Handbrake takes so long to convert my game clips to a constant frame rate and because I want them to be good quality I set my encoding to Slow (under optimise video h.264). So I thought well maybe applying advanced settings to use the gpu (gpu=1) would help speed up the process. It seems that this still primarily uses my cpu. i5-4570 and gtx980.
Some CGI rendering software like Redshift only use the GPU and can use up to 8, 8 separate GPUs per PC/License and needs twice as much system RAM as VRAM. Also, while not required it is recommended to have at least two threads per GPU for maximum performance. Other software such as Blender Cycles can use both CPUs and GPUs but it is immensely faster on the latter under "most" scenarios. Depending on what software you are using it really depends on whether or not you should be spending more on your CPU or your GPU.
got hp z620 with 8 core processor ( E5-2670) with Nvidia quadro 4000 with 32GB. But Can't find out more different with computer with i7 cpu? any suggestion to upgrade or enhance the performance. any setting. use Adobe After effect for 2D animation. Also want more focus on Rendering when working. not the final rendering time
@RobertoBlake #RobertoBlake, Ihave i7 9th gen (i7 9750h) processor and nvidia gtx 1650.and which mercury playback engine settings is best and save my time for aftereffects please reply
Hey there! So basically I am thinking of jumping on board with building my first PC in years. The Core i3 7350k is right in my price range. Currently I am running Premier and After Effects on my 2012 Macbook Pro IVY BRIDGE Quad Core. And its struggling especially in AE / Rendering in Premier. Running some benchmarks shows that the 7350k will outrun my 5 year old quad core mobile processor. I will be doing light gaming but really be doing anywhere from 1080p - 4k video editing along with a some light animation with AE. So anywhere from content creation to short films. I guess my question is, with a GTX 1050ti SSDs etc. should I be ok for awhile? Thanks!
Really enjoyed the video. Not sure which version of Premiere you're on but I've seen mine use both GPU's before (granted in Crossfire as a pose to SLI)
Are you saying you saw 50% gains because adding the GTX 1070 allowed the CPU to focus on rendering? For instance, the GTX 1070 absorbed the OS tasks that the CPU would normally be handling?
Help me out on this matter for a moment. I used powerdirector 13 for all my video editing needs. My system has an i5 cpu with 16 gb of memory and an ssd, etc. Recently I upgraded from a radeon gpu with 1gb of ddr5 memory to a gpu at 256 bit, 4 gb of ddr5 ram and many, many more stream processors. But this upgrade did virtually nothing in terms of providing smoother editing on my timeline or in terms of rendering. I'm not sure why, as the upgrade was quite significant. Perhaps powerdirector does not utilize the gpu in a significant manner (?).
i have a i7 5820k running 3.3ghz. 32 gb ram ddr4. and a nvidia quadro k620 video card. i mainly use cyberlink power director but have been contemplating adobe. question is vidoe card? is this qudro going to be as good as a 1060 or 1070.
Agreed! I'm using HP Z620 Workstation with 16GB RAM, 3.4Ghz Xeon processor. I don't edit 4K more often but full HD editing very smooth in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. I also completely agree with you this CPU & GPU thing. Actually this machine belongs to the company which I currently work for. I'm planning to buy 2015, 13-inch MacBook Pro For my other freelancing jobs. I'm not doing heavy VFX and 3D projects. I assume for my workload and for my budget this Mac would be suitable.
I wish I had seen your video last year. I ended up spending a fortune on 3 PCS. I still need to buy one more custom built PC ....how do I get hold of you...keep in mind I am an old fogey so you will have to explain things slowly

As someone who edits all their own videos on both a budget and (now Im definitely not on a budget) I can say you can literally get away with a super cheap or even integrated GPU.
Even a cheap 4gb GPU is WAYYYYY more than enough.
CPU on the other hand you can get away with an i5 6 core for most things. If you're doing just cut and stitch and a little txt and a little graphic overlay on sub 15 mins videos then you're good. If you think you'll be doing some involved projects with many layers then maybe look into I7 or Ryzen 5+
Idk why he says get a 400-500 dollar GPU. I literally grew to over 100k subs on a 500 ENTIRE COMPUTER with hickups only on my very involved videos.
For people not used to building their own systems, keep in mind that you can't just buy a new 6 or 8-core CPU and slap it in your existing machine...you need to also buy a motherboard that supports it...and that also affects what kind of RAM you can use. Also, any time you buy a new motherboard, you usually have to buy a new Windows license. So, changing CPUs can be a major investment beyond just the cost of the CPU.
Been looking for some good information on this for the longest time.
I brought that same card in hopes slightly better rendering times(which it does help out) but not the gains i hoped for.

When on a budget, is it better a modest i5 3rd gen + dedicated GPU or just i7 3rd + intergrated graphics? I don't do after effects, just plain editing for esoteric youtube channel but I just want my 1080p footage to run smoothly when playback and cutting and doing simple transitions. Thanks a lot!
very nice and clear speaking. I mean also the way, pronounciation is perfect. much appreciated. do you think it is worth the money to spend on 1070 over 1060? And the STRIX over the DUAL setup? It seems there is just minor difference between strix and dual but the first one has higher consumption and is much hotter..the purpose would be 4k editing and scaling to FHD. I am interested in your thoughts. thanks in advance.
Thanks for this, i just built a pc with ryzen 5 2600x but i didnt have the budget to buy a proper gpu so i used my super old 9500gt. while editing its noticeably slower in scrubbing specially with effects added, but its fast enough while rendering. is it because of the gpu? Will adding like a gtx 1050ti improve it significantly? Thanks!
This was helpful. Currently trying to decide between two 15" 2015 Macbook Pro's.
One of them has the 2.8GHz processor with the stock graphic card. 355 battery cycles. $1560.
The other is the 2.5 GHz and and an AMD Radeon R9. 37 battery cycles. $1950
I really only do video and audio editing with Premiere and Audition, not much After Effects. On top of that, you said to spend more money on the processing and I have a chance to get better processing for less money. I think I'll go with the 2.8GHz :) Thanks!
That's the best video I found on the subject! Thank You!!
Thanks for explanations! :)
So, I was wrong by focusing 100% on GPU (ignoring CPU entirely), I can get better rendering performance. But, yeah, as you said in the video, CPU takes bigger role in video rendering.
That makes sense as I recently got stressed when rendering around 3 minutes of video, I still have to wait around 15-20 minutes to finish. Turns out, after upgrading to GTX1050, now I realized, GPU only helps on playback, not the entire encoding.
You know I had to go back on the video several times to finally figure out what the hissing noise was until I finally looked the screen in the background and s Darth Vader ; )

As always great practical advice, keep up the good work and um "May the force be with you."
Thank you so much for posting, I had a gut instinct it was the cpu and you confirmed this for me with so many solid reasons. I'm going to start working to save up and build my new pc with a quality cpu and work around that.
Also I love your concise narration, you don't ramble on about a bunch of other sutff and just cut to the chase!
This is 4 years old and it still is amazing good job 👍
Hi Roberto.. Great video! I have a i7 6700k (32GB Ram)and I just started getting into video editing using Premiere Pro and learning After Effects. I want to get a decent video card for my PC for this purpose. I was looking at the ASUS GeForce GTX 1660 Overclocked 6GB, would that be an ok card in your opinion? And if not what would you recommend?...Thanks for sharing your knowledge. :)
Gotta balance them both, yep! Good stuff
GOOD explanation... my 4gb of VRAM for GPU 3D rendering in After Effects with the CUDA drivers is RIDICULOUSLY fast. If i used my CPU for 3D-ray tracing, even though i have 4.0ghz per core... it's SLOW without that GPU help. Now for just editing and such... the cores pay off as well.
It's all basically just like EATING properly. It's not good to have just carbs, protein, essential fats, or water, you want a good balance of every category.... same with Graphics Card, Processors, RAM, HDD speed. I dig how you explain it too! *****
The BEAUTY of Adobe now is Creative Cloud being able to work on the SAME project in mac and/or windows! Things are amazing these days!
so gpu helps in video renderring more than cpu?
ProAppleTech It does for 3D ray tracing rendering in After Effects... it does some for rendering in Premiere Pro, also! the Mercury something or another.. cant remember what it's called haha BUT... it makes 3D rendering like making a bowl of cereal! for real! haha If you have a descent Graphics card though.
Jeremy Williamson sorry, but imma bit confused. do you need CPU for video editing or 3d renderring or both or u need cpu for one of them or both or is there some that need that and others need this
ProAppleTech I actually use BOTH... but GPU (4gb VRAM) for 3D rendering, and CPU (4.0 - 4.4 ghz) for non-3D rendering.
GPU video rendering isnt really a common thing, though many do it because Nvidia has the CUDA plug-in driver for AMD graphic cards in the newer iMacs.
So, instead of my 4gb of VRAM going to waste, only being used for screen's, pixels and stuff... I can use that RAM to help render 3D graphics in After Elements using Element 3D and things like that to be SOOOOO MUCH FASTER! Make sense?
My iMac is a 27" 5k screen.. so I set it around 2560x1440 (mid-setting), use hdmi for another HD monitor for editing, and then use just VGA connectors for extra monitors only being used for extra space to have my Finder App open for accessing any files that I need, and whatever else... web-browsing, emailing, etc.
everyone is saying the opposite coz i've heard that 3d rendering needs cpu and video rendering needs GPU (sometimes cpu) is that right or CPU for video editing (sometimes gpu) and 3d rendering always gpu?
Roberto I keep coming back to your channel! AWESOME STUFF MAN! thanks again.
Nice one mate .. you sound like an Ace! The think that you confirmed for me is that a 1070 is good for video editing .. I used to wonder if the gaming cards do not do well in v.editing as they are more geared to churning out fps? I guess the more cuda cores the better for v.edits as well .. but to what extent the GPUs get used compared to the CPUs seems to be a mixed bag? Cheers.
Good solid advice here from Roberto. Well researched. No incorrect information here as far as I can tell, which you see a lot in these kinds of videos. 50,000 views so far. Well-deserved. ^Kevin (@AdobeCare DVA Support).
Great video. Quick question. I'm considering getting an imac desk top with 4k retina and with a quad core i7 processor. My debate is to stay at 8 gb of ram or upgrade to 16 gb of ram. My main purpose is to edit music videos (my own basically) and promotional documentaries for myself as i'm a singer songwriter. The only multi tasking I would do while editing video is maybe looking at the video footage in a separate player like quick time to double check the footage. So with this knowledge, what is your recommendation for my use of this. 8 gigs or 16 gigs of ram?
the newer iMacs don't let you manually upgrade anymore, so you'll need to buy 16GB from the beginning.
THANK YOU SO MUCHHH!!! YOU FINALLY ANSWERED MY QUESTION AFTER MONTHS!!!! I was trying to find out what was most needed for video editing and why my after effects is so bad when I edit, like it crashes, loads slow when putting effects and etc. Finally thank you! 1:00
Awesome video - liked & suscribed! But can you tell me how to increase rendering in the timeline for video-previews? Premiere only uses about 30-40% of my cpu!
Thanks for the great videos Roberto. I'm still confused, others say get a high end GPU while others say just get a regular one. Which GPU is sufficient for editing and producing UA-cam videos? thanks
Hi thanks for the info
i had an question
does windows 7 better for 3d softwares?
i wonder wich on is better 10 or 7?
thanks for the video btw
I have the top of the line surface pro (it's battery is horrible when doing anything too video intensive) and now looking to build a new computer. Preferably I'll do what I did with my last computer build, best cpu and a basic gpu, then upgrade the gpu, upgrade the ram, but probably start with the fasted and best SSD so I'm not having to change OS in an upgrade. I figure buying elements bit by bit will work better than buying everything in a lump sum and saving bit by bit instead. That way I can use a machine sooner, and just upgrade it over time.
Do you think that's a sound strategy?
I'll be using it for video editing, recording of game play, and also visual and graphic art, maybe a bit of 3d animation too down the track.
I watched your videos a lot from UK. I need a laptop for editing and have been looking at MSI, any recommendations?
How about Xeon processors for video editing..?
AjU wilber not better than CORE processors with graphics card. Linus made a video about it.
Yes...balance cpu over 4 cores over 16gb ram gpu vram 6-12gb gaming edit some 3d 16gbplus serious 3d. Both multi gpu or sli mix results. Sli is gaming but also 3d work render not much for video render. Photoshop or music edit dont use alot power requirements as you said.
really loved how you explained everything.
btw. i have a intel I-5 3460 @ 3.20 GHz and 4GB Ram.
recently i have started editing videos on Adobe premiere pro and Adobe after effects. My pc lags a lot and hardly allows me to edit. looking to buy a graphics card and probably more RAM as well.
what do you suggest for doing everything in 200-300$ ?
+baksheesh sachar more ram would immediately help but consider the GTX 1060
Hi that was really informative.
Question: I have an old i3 3rd Gen 3.3Ghz. I want to upgrade but my budget is only $420. Is it worth it if i buy a GTX 1070 instead of buying a new i7-6700k? because if i do buy the i7, I also have to buy a new motherboard and new DDR4 RAMs
I use AE and Premiere CC
Thoughts on the new Macbook Pro GPU's? The options are Radeon Pro 450 (2gb) , 455 (2gb), and 460 with 4gb of ram. Which one would be best for for video editing- (visual effects, color grading).. Each are $200 more expensive than the next.
Very good video man. Gave thumbs up.
CrackaLackTV i have a question
if i7 can cut the rendering time = have smooth playback?
I not rush to done the job I just try to make my editing will go smooth and enjoyable.
but now am on a budget if I go with i5 7600,16g ram, 1050ti can make my video playback smooth and get the job done? with using photoshop lightroom after effect and premiere pro?
or I necessary need to go i7?
Hi! I know this is an old video but would you think a 2019 MacBook Pro with 2.3ghz 8core i9 processor, 16gb ram, and Radeon pro 5500M with 8GB vram would be sufficient for present day 4K video editing? How long do you think this setup would last me, 5 more years? I would appreciate your feedback and help. Thanks!
It's interesting to hear you make the comments about RAM. It's time for me to move from a DDR3 to DDR4 setup--finally-- and I noticed how much more expensive DDR4 was these days. Nice to know I might be able to skrimp by with just the 16, upgradable later.
Is the Hp Omen good for photography and video editing? The specs are i7 9th gen 16Gb with a 1TB HDD and 256Gb and 1060nvdia.....love your videos, thanks.
Roberto blake, I'm new into the AE and Pr, so I'm looking for something basic, what do you recommend
My question is what video editing did you use? considering I have a 980ti/32gb ram setup however Vegas Pro does not support new GTX cards
+MasterJ360 premiere Pro
Super helpful video. I'm taking a class in IT where we have to build a theoretical computer specifically for multimedia and this vid gave me a lot of good resources and info
Thanks for posting this. It's hard to find computer parts tips and advice that doesn't pertain to gaming. So this was very helpful.
Great video! What are your current ideas on a fast rendering box, i.e.: RAM, Graphics card and CPU package?
Hi there Roberto, I'm a big fan of your channel and I have a question for you about 30 fps X 60 fps videos = lightning and colors. I don't have a 60fps camera, so I couldn't try it by myself. But I was watching videos in UA-cam comparing these frame rates and I noticed lightning and especially colors are different between 2 videos shot at the same location, same time of the day, same camera settings. Have you ever noticed this as well?
+Renan Gonçalves Flores I’d have to try it but I’d assume it’s their camera profiles and bitrates for those settings
The MP4 format and settings are almost the same as I use for Magix Movie Edit Pro.
Thanks for showing this. Why does YT always say processing will be faster in a streaming format? How can that be done with MP4 or maybe in can't?
quick and brief info man! thanks for explaining it thoroughly and not waste anyones time! thanks!
Helpful. How about if i do video editing as a hobby, do i really need a graphics card? if i use integrated graphics how much gigs of ram do i need?
8-16
Is your voice coming through the mic on the stand in the BG or on camera mic? and if so what brand?
Looking to buy my first video editing desktop. I7 10875H, 32GB RAM, RTX 2060 is that enough you think? with SSD of course.
The way you go about presenting information is very pleasant. You're not selling anything and it feels like that. Some channels seem to be persuaded when they give their info. Thank you for this video.
Hi sir, my laptop has
i7-9750H
Gtx 1650
8gb RAM
256 SSD
1Tb HDD
Do you think this specs can perform better in premiere pro and after effetcs?
Thanks! 😊
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 to feature 896 CUDA cores
GTX1660 SUPER : 1,408 CUDA cores (THE BEST)
Yeah, it would.
Your export times are smaller if your cpu has igpu
Hi, thank you for this. Me and a pal started a architecture firm, as we will also do 3D modeling and possibly animation as well. We have two computers so, both 16GB RAM, Core i7, and Nvidia GPU with 4GB. The editing is fine but the problem is on the rending times, it takes too long. We want to cut the rendering times, so we are looking into investing in render farms!!! But we do not really know where to start or how to go about really. Any advice?
i hope you see this, becsause i am trying to decide between getting a 16inch macbook pro or a dell xps 17inch but i do not know. I am trying to get a better computer for after effects and adobe premiere but I do not know which will be better for longegevity. If you could provide assistance in any way possible I would greatly appreciate it.
will amd cards work well like the rx470 I'm in a budget for premiere pro?
So I was thinking of buying a editing laptop. Does Nvidia Geforce 940mx 2gb will be ok? Need your opinion Thanks!!
Do you need a good graphics card if you only transcode/encode video?
I have a lot of recordings from a drone (4k) and want to convert it to other playable formats.
My current PC (Intel Core i3 2500k, 16Gb DDR3, AMD Radeon 6700 HD) is doing great (almost 1x at 720p) and I'm wondering if a newer (Intel Core i5 8400, 16Gb DDR4) would make a huge difference without having an expensive graphics card?
I know this is an old video but wonder if this still holds true today with more editing programs utilizing the gpu more?
Ok, i want to build a new pc for 3d rendering. What do you suggest? What are the best cpu,gpu and ram? And am not new to computers.
I have an i7-3770 and i've upgraded my GTX 570 to GTX1060 .
Should i upgrade my processor too ? Which one should i pick ?
i7 3770 is still an amazing CPU to be using.
Hey Roberto, the CPU I use is an Intel Core i5 4670 processor with 3.4 GHz and 4 cores. I use this processor for video editing. My motherboard is capable of going to an i7 but I chose i5. Do you think my CPU is too slow for video editing?
Very helpful video!
I want to buy a 2nd hand HP EliteBook 8570w with i7 3rd gen. processor and mainly use it for video editing. 4k editing as well if possible, using proxy.
Specs are:
i7-3720qm - 2.6 GHz - 4 cores 8 threads - 6 MB cache
8 GB RAM (upgradable to 32 GB)
NVIDIA Quadro K2000M (2 GB GDDR3)
320 GB HDD (7200 RPM) (maybe I'll add in an SSD later to that as well)
Do you think this is good enough or am I better of buying a new laptop with twice the price?
Yes, I want a laptop as I travel a lot.
Thank you :)
Hi Robert, I just buy a new PC. But I can not find any GPU at this time. Can I use Adobe Program without a GPU?
How about the video editor program, are all utilizing the CPU / GPU in the same ways... or do we have some sw that will pass the work to one over the other?
Hello Rob! May I ask you who is hosting your website? Not sure if I should go for Bluehost or Godaddy, or maybe Wix?
Thanks for all your great videos ;D
I'm currently moving most of my business stuff over to Bluehost and Recommend them. Right now they have a sale going on!
If you can't afford the upfront prepay cost then I recommend Hostgator and I'm currently building a Microsite there for web design tutorials.
Wix is a good starter solution if you don't know how to code and I'm working on something with them especially since for a lot of UA-camrs it would help them because they need a free or affordable website.
Namecheap is where I'm going to be hosting a few Niche websites I'm developing that will provide free content on specific topics and also help promote some of my videos and some product launches I have planned over the next 24 months.
If you decided to go with any of these I'd appreciate you using my affiliate links:

This made it much clearer for me, thank you so much for your time (Y)
Roberto Blake : Is it better to select Metal for the Mercury Playback Engine settings in Premiere when setting up a new project or is Open CL better? What's the major difference?
hi Roberto what is the best choice of video card in 2018 for premier pro , after effect , 3d etc ? in 500 $ price range
I'm new to video editing and building my first rig and also starting a UA-cam channel . Would a i7 7600 and 1060 be ideal for premiere and photoshop. I can't find that much info on the 1060. Mostly everyone is recommending the 1070. Is rendering really that much slower on the 1060?
what do you think about this laptop for video editing MSI GS63VR 6RF Stealth Pro? thank you
Subscribed, great content. This and few other videos of yours are helping me decide my new pc setup for video editing. thanks again
Mr roberto i want to ask somenthing
Recently i wanna make a game with kinda good texture and rendering thing like that
But i have to choose the graphic card which the option is rx 550 4gb or rx 560 2gb
The question is which graphic card its really rocking in to the texture and animation things
I hope you can reply my comments :)
Hey Roberto,
I've been checking out a few of your videos again. Great content as ever.
I recently purchased myself a late 2015 27" 5k iMac as an upgrade from my late 2013 Macbook pro. 13". I got the core i5 with 1TB fusion drive and ATI graphics.
I had originally planned to wait until after the MBP was no longer usable to finance a new Mac, However, with the way apple is going with their thin and non upgradable direction. I decided to do it now so I could get an iMac I could still upgrade Ram later on in.
I've also considered building my own PC, but being invested in Apple's software, felt that would turn out to be a bigger investment then a new Mac, as I would have to buy new software as well as hardware. Since I no longer need a Laptop I could probably sell this one to help pay off the new mac quicker. I've gone to an iPad for my portable device, it's more comfortable then a laptop for me. FYI, the iMac has a SkyLake CPU with 4 cores. I plan on investigating 4k content more and more as it comes out. I've already got a 4k TV which has been great. Great content as always! -- Clint
What u need help in is finding a computer for me to be able to edit without any hiccups like choppy playback. I currently have a 2012 MacBook pro with 16gb of ram. Not sure what core but I can't play back smooth video even in 1/4 quality and it just gives me a headache. I was looking into a surface pro 4 i7 16gb ram but I'm afraid of it doing the same since its not a full fledged computer. So I'm also looking into the iMac i7 and upgrade to 32gb ram but if I can save some money then please help me. Would be great. Thanks!
Awesome videos..... Can you suggest me 4k videos editing PC configuration ryzen 7 platform....
Should I go for the i7 6700 over the 6700k if I'm not gonna be overclocking? Thanks in advance.
Would a dual gpu make video streaming better?
So I am planning to build a good PC for editing, designing and possibly gaming.
Will an AMD FX8350 (CPU) and a GTX 970 STRIX DCU II OC (GPU) be good for my PC build? I want my PC under £500($739).
I just cant find I good budget CPU at around £150 for rendering and designing.
Awesome! Hey I see you have your Children's Miracle Network band to support too!
Thanks, have been seeing a lot of the gaming graphics stuff but more interested in the audio and video editing. This vid might be a few years out of date but the concepts still hold. :)
Great video and explanation. NVIDIA is selling their founder's edition cards at really good prices. This post is pre-Ampere - their 2080S is $700 USD, 2070S $500 and 2060S is $400. Also 32GB of RAM is cheap now, under $200 for 3200 MHz DDR4. CPUs are well priced too - the Ryzen 7 or 9 series (pre TX CPUs). Your video did a great job explaining why the CPU and GPU are important for editing. Adobe's been utilizing a lot of GPU VRAM in their programs now.
I think an SSD plays a big role too. And best upgrade in instances where CPU and GPU arent really upgradeable like in the 13inch Macs
Hello Roberto I am try to figure out, is how to active all the filters in Adobe Premier. thank you and have a wonderful day
Thank You Robert, straight forwards video
Brilliant! This really helped reassure my assumptions on hardware performance specifically for video editing. Handbrake takes so long to convert my game clips to a constant frame rate and because I want them to be good quality I set my encoding to Slow (under optimise video h.264). So I thought well maybe applying advanced settings to use the gpu (gpu=1) would help speed up the process. It seems that this still primarily uses my cpu. i5-4570 and gtx980.
Some CGI rendering software like Redshift only use the GPU and can use up to 8, 8 separate GPUs per PC/License and needs twice as much system RAM as VRAM. Also, while not required it is recommended to have at least two threads per GPU for maximum performance. Other software such as Blender Cycles can use both CPUs and GPUs but it is immensely faster on the latter under "most" scenarios. Depending on what software you are using it really depends on whether or not you should be spending more on your CPU or your GPU.
got hp z620 with 8 core processor ( E5-2670) with Nvidia quadro 4000 with 32GB. But Can't find out more different with computer with i7 cpu? any suggestion to upgrade or enhance the performance. any setting. use Adobe After effect for 2D animation. Also want more focus on Rendering when working. not the final rendering time
@RobertoBlake #RobertoBlake, Ihave i7 9th gen (i7 9750h) processor and nvidia gtx 1650.and which mercury playback engine settings is best and save my time for aftereffects please reply
Hey there! So basically I am thinking of jumping on board with building my first PC in years. The Core i3 7350k is right in my price range. Currently I am running Premier and After Effects on my 2012 Macbook Pro IVY BRIDGE Quad Core. And its struggling especially in AE / Rendering in Premier. Running some benchmarks shows that the 7350k will outrun my 5 year old quad core mobile processor. I will be doing light gaming but really be doing anywhere from 1080p - 4k video editing along with a some light animation with AE. So anywhere from content creation to short films. I guess my question is, with a GTX 1050ti SSDs etc. should I be ok for awhile? Thanks!
u could for 1080p, but 4k...........
Really enjoyed the video. Not sure which version of Premiere you're on but I've seen mine use both GPU's before (granted in Crossfire as a pose to SLI)
I use the latest version of CC.
Are you saying you saw 50% gains because adding the GTX 1070 allowed the CPU to focus on rendering? For instance, the GTX 1070 absorbed the OS tasks that the CPU would normally be handling?
Help me out on this matter for a moment. I used powerdirector 13 for all my video editing needs. My system has an i5 cpu with 16 gb of memory and an ssd, etc. Recently I upgraded from a radeon gpu with 1gb of ddr5 memory to a gpu at 256 bit, 4 gb of ddr5 ram and many, many more stream processors. But this upgrade did virtually nothing in terms of providing smoother editing on my timeline or in terms of rendering. I'm not sure why, as the upgrade was quite significant. Perhaps powerdirector does not utilize the gpu in a significant manner (?).
heres my problem my graphics card over written the use of intel quick sync video rendering don't know how to fix this
i have a i7 5820k running 3.3ghz. 32 gb ram ddr4. and a nvidia quadro k620 video card. i mainly use cyberlink power director but have been contemplating adobe. question is vidoe card? is this qudro going to be as good as a 1060 or 1070.
Agreed! I'm using HP Z620 Workstation with 16GB RAM, 3.4Ghz Xeon processor. I don't edit 4K more often but full HD editing very smooth in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. I also completely agree with you this CPU & GPU thing. Actually this machine belongs to the company which I currently work for. I'm planning to buy 2015, 13-inch MacBook Pro For my other freelancing jobs. I'm not doing heavy VFX and 3D projects. I assume for my workload and for my budget this Mac would be suitable.
For time line performance Is GPU or cpu plays a vital role without lag ?
I wish I had seen your video last year. I ended up spending a fortune on 3 PCS. I still need to buy one more custom built PC ....how do I get hold of you...keep in mind I am an old fogey so you will have to explain things slowly
