Photo/Video Editors, what are your system specs?

[Junpaku]

What are your system specs? Planning to upgrade? What programs do you use for what?

 

[megadarkwood]

I use photoshop, vegas and after effects pretty frequently. specs: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/ZvNwHx

[SeanAngelo]

I use lightroom, photoshop and sony vegas on some basis and other programs not as frequent as those listed.

 

specs are on my profile. (it sucks) upgrading soon hopefully

[MTROB]

As of today, 

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LVjXZL

 

I use Premier Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop.

[Dredgy]

4930k (undervolted), 64GB 2400MHz DDR3 (downclocked to 2133Mhz), Asus X79 Deluxe, 2x GTX 790Tis, 6x monitors, AudioEngineD1 DAC, 2x Card Readers.

Video editing is actually the least intensive thing I do on it, but the software I use is mainly the AdobeSuite: Premiere, After Effects, SpeedGrade, Fireworks, Illustrator, Photoshop and Audition. And Flash for some types of Animation.

Where did you get 790Tis?

[Dredgy]

Where did you get 790Tis?

 

 

I live in a magic parallel world.

 

Or much more likely, I am not a great typist and I meant 780Tis.

[evinta]

Its in my sig but i use adobe creative cloud suite. Including acrobat pro.

 

Working on getting a new video card and more memory... :angry:

[Bsmith]

i mostly use my macbook wich is actually for school, 8gb ram, 2.8ghz I5 with 512gb PCI-E SSD

planning to get a decent system for it sometime with plenty of storage in it adn the ability to properly record footage on it(youtube vids/tutorials etc) and maybe try rendering again.

[pedro69]

I use Photoshop CC and Lightroom mostly. System Spec are in my profile. I have scheduled a second SSD (games & scratch disk) switching to a i7 4790k and if the budget allows it I want to upgrade the RAM to 32GB.

[humpingpandas]

Primarily use Premiere Pro. I have a stock 8350, 8 gigs of ram, and a GTX660 for CUDA.

 

Sure there's faster computers out there, but this one works just fine. Until I need to edit and render out 4k videos, I'll stick with this setup.

[d3sl91]

Specs are in my sig.

 

Programs: Lightroom, Photoshop, Vegas.

 

Dont do much with vegas. 

 

Recently did an i5 > i7 upgrade, and do feel a difference in LR. 

[ShadowCaptain]

see sig

 

upgrading to 16gb this week or next

[.spider.]

Lightroom and Davinci Resolve 11 Lite

W 8.1

Xeon E3-1230v3

16GB DDR3

GTX 760

1080p30 h264 and 900p24 14bit raw editing works like a charm.

[the pokemon kid]

I use Brenda for photo editing work

[Koffehh]

I use LR and PS just to tweak photo's, my specs are in my SIG..... Note no GPU. Runs just fine no lag or any issue's as of yet

[Scruffy90]

I use Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, Premiere pro, After effects, and Pro Tools.

 

System consist of:

• i7 - 3770k
• GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD3H
• 32gb CORSAIR XMS
• GTX 670
• SAMSUNG 840 Pro 256gb
• 2x Seagate 2tb @ 7200 rpm
• CORSAIR HX650

Cant say i've had any issues thus far. The system runs flawlessly during the entire process unless im rendering video, in which case I hit 100% usage on the CPU. There wont be need for an ungrade unless i'm consistently bottlenecking my rig while working.

[typographie]

At home I use the system in my profile (Core i5-750, GTX 770, 8 GB, etc. etc.) for some freelance photo editing and design work.
I use an iMac (late 2012 model?) at my workplace. It has a GT 640M, 8 GB of RAM, and what I assume is an Ivy Bridge-based Core i5.

 

I use Photoshop and InDesign fairly heavily, as well as Illustrator and Flash occasionally.

[Guest]

I use Premiere, After Effects, and Resolve. I have a 4930k, GA-X79-UD4, 32 GB DDR3 at 1600MHz, GTX 780, Xonar Essence ST, Samsung 840 Evo 256 GB, and a 3 TB WD Red. In the near future, I plan on getting another WD Red for RAID 1, and long term, I plan on doing a full update and making the jump to an 8 core (or more, who knows!?) i7 or Xeon.

[Christubby]

I use Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects & Speedgrade. Specs are in my signature but the main things are i7 4790k, gigabyte gtx 770 OC 4gb, 16GB corsair vengeance pro ram, Samsung 840 evo ssd & Seagate barracuda 2tb hdd. With Corsair h100i cooling the cpu, the rest is air cooled with corsair fans. I hope to double my RAM soon. 

[polymoth]

my work cart has two 6 core mac pros maxed out. running pomfort live grade, silverstacks assimilateinc scratch lab and office. for ui screens I am ruining a asus pro art an 3 sony PVMA 250 25in feed from a 20x20 sdi switcher.

Question for you guys. How exactly does it help to upgrade RAM when video editing? E.g. Will RAM preview on vegas/AE be faster? What else? I know that rendering is much quicker going from an i3-3220 to an i7-3770k, since I recently upgraded from that.

 

Anyways I forgot to post mine.

 

My current Desktop PC:

• i7-3770k
• 2 x 4 GB Corsair Vengeance (Blue)
• CM 500 Watt
• GA-B75M
• 3TB HDD
• 180 GB Intel 530 SSD
• Hyper 212 Evo
• XFX 7870 DD
• Zalman Z9 Plus w stock fans

Audio stuff:

• Fisher Integrated Stereo AMP CA-860 + HD 449 (Usually for Desktop)
• Fiio E7 + Momentum On-Ear (Usually for laptop)

See how much it is using when doing your work, if you're using close to 90-100% of your 8GB get more. 

 

The majority of folks I know who use premier, end up getting 16GB very soon after.

With more RAM, you will be able to have longer previews on video editors as well as being able to cache more information - speeding up your workflow.

 

As for mine, it's in my signature, and I am primarily a photographer with editing done in Lightroom, PhotoShop and some in Photomatix.
