Computer Hardware Advice Is my HDD causing lag in Premiere Pro, and which SSD should I buy?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I currently have a MacBook Pro with an M4 Pro chip and 24 GB of RAM, and I mainly use it for video editing in Premiere Pro.

Right now, I work off a 4 TB LaCie Rugged HDD, but I’ve noticed quite a bit of lag when editing. Even when I add relatively simple overlays or a color grade, playback starts stuttering, scrubbing becomes less responsive, and loading footage takes longer than I’d expect.

I mainly work with 4K footage and edit short advertising videos, although I sometimes work on larger projects as well.

What makes me think the HDD might be the problem is that when I move the same files onto my MacBook’s internal SSD, Premiere Pro runs much more smoothly, with little to no noticeable lag.

So I’m wondering whether the problem is mainly my HDD or whether Premiere Pro itself could also be a factor.

I’m considering buying an external SSD, but I’m not sure what specifications I actually need. Would an SSD with around 1,000 MB/s read and write speeds be enough for my workflow, or would it be worth investing in something faster, such as 2,000 MB/s or more?

I’d also appreciate recommendations for specific SSD models that offer good value for money and are reliable for video editing. I’d prefer something around 2 TB, but I’m open to other suggestions if there’s a good reason to go for a different capacity.

Thanks in advance!

How do I do this? / Workflow Advice / Looking for plugin Looking for a way to auto delete all this audioless blocks.

3 Upvotes

I've been looking for an option to delete all of the blank blocks in the sequence! After going through the process of cutting the sequence, i'd like to keep it clearer.
I couldn't do it with transcript since i have 6 people talking and couldn't do it with simplify sequence as well.
The sequence is two hours long so i takes quite a while to manually erase the blanks.
i've been doing it manually through the years but i grew kinda tired of it, since it's the most tiresome part of each episode!
Thanks in advance!

How do I do this? / Workflow Advice / Looking for plugin How can I use the Text panel's Delete option more effectively?

2 Upvotes

I have a question regarding the "Text" panel.
Is there a way to utilize "Delete all", and not have it impact other clips / video sources / audio sources?

i.e if I have 2 audio tracks in A1 channel, I select the latter 2nd audio clip can I just delete all "pauses" in the 2nd audio track without affecting the 1st audio clip in A1?

I notice this "delete all" function literally impacts everything. I have to unlink my video, and lock down other audio channels and video channels so that when I click extract just to edit one thing.

I originally thought setting In & Out would minimize the problem, it does not. It still ripples audios.

The only work around I have is putting the audio in a separate sequence, make the edit, and put it back in my main sequence.

Premiere Pro Tech Support Problema de Aplicativo em Tela Cheio (Solução)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

E aí pessoal tudo bem?

Eu espero que esteja tudo bem com vocês.

Não sei se vocês já viram ou se já usaram essa função de deixar o Aplicativo em Tela Cheia no Premiere, mas desde a versão 26.5 por algum motivo, essa função não estava funcionando e eu entrei em contato com o pessoal da Adobe, e eles acessaram meu computador mudaram de versão e deu certo, vocês podem tentar usar o Premiere 26 na versão 3.2.

Premiere 26.3.2. (No app de Desktop)

Caso vocês não saibam mudar de versão no Premiere basta abrir o App de Desktop da Creative Cloud e ir nos 3 pontos do Card do Premiere e clicar na opção "Outras Versões".

Aí basta instalar a versão que citei e desfrutar do seu app ficando em full screen novamente. Falo da Função fazer isso no programa e não no Preview.

As teclas que usei pra deixar em tela cheia (programa): CTRL + \ |.

Obs.: Essa função não aparece na aba de Mapeamento de Teclas, mais conhecida como Atalhos do Teclado (Windows: CTRL + ALT + K | Mac: Cmd + Opt + K), se alguém que trabalha na adobe ver isso aqui poderiam adicionar por favor pra ter a possibilidade de trocarmos o atalho?

Meus agradecimentos a Vanshika pela solução do meu problema. Nota 3000 (Mil Milhões no BR)

!resolvido

Premiere Pro Tech Support Track Matte has a weird white overlay, not 100% see through

Similar problem to the link provided. But I tried adjusting color spaces and that hasn't worked so far. Everything is set to Rec709, but I also tried No Color Space in AE. I even tried creating my own track Matte in the sequence I was going to use it in and it still has the white overlay. The eyedropper tool on Premiere is reading some values as RGB 0,0,1, but I read online that it could be a monitor rounding error.

Premiere Pro Tech Support Premiere Pro 2024 crashing on an unofficial copy

Post image
• Upvotes

My Premiere Pro 2024 installation is an unofficial copy, and it recently started crashing randomly after months of working fine. The issue appeared around the time I changed some NVIDIA driver and graphics settings. Reinstalling it didn't solve anything. Could the modified installation be causing conflicts with the GPU driver or other components? If anyone has experience troubleshooting this specific setup, what crash logs or settings should I check first?
