Additional Information: Building a Fast, Reliable Video Editing Workstation

Hardware guidance tailored for Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and Foundry Nuke — configured for 4K–8K, VFX, and color-managed workflows.

Overview

Performance That Keeps Up With Your Creativity

Post-production pushes every part of a system — from CPU threads and GPU compute to memory bandwidth and storage I/O. Whether you’re cutting multicam timelines, layering motion graphics, compositing CG, or exporting masters, our workstations are engineered for sustained speed and uptime. Fewer bottlenecks means more real-time playback, faster previews, and shorter renders — so you spend more time editing and less time waiting.

??

Pro tip: Match hardware to codecs and software. Long-GOP formats (H.264/H.265) love strong GPU encoders/decoders; mezzanine and RAW (ProRes, DNxHR, BRAW, RED) benefit from high PCIe bandwidth, fast CPUs, and ample RAM.


CPU

Processor: Timeline Responsiveness & Export Speed

The CPU drives timeline fluidity, effect stacks, and encode performance. Different apps lean on it differently:

  • Premiere Pro: Balanced high clocks + cores for snappy edits and fast exports.
  • After Effects: High single-thread speed and ample RAM bandwidth for previews.
  • DaVinci Resolve & Nuke: Benefit from more cores during heavy compositing and caching.

Recommended tiers: Intel Core Ultra 285K or AMD Ryzen 9 9950X for advanced editing/VFX; scale to Threadripper PRO when extreme parallelism or multi-GPU pipelines are required.

GPU

Graphics: Real-Time Playback, Grading & Effects

Modern NLEs and finishing apps accelerate color, transitions, denoise, and many effects on the GPU. Resolve, in particular, scales impressively with GPU power.

  • NVIDIA RTX 5090 / RTX 5000 Ada: Top-tier compute with next-gen NVENC/AV1 for fast exports and remote review.
  • VRAM matters: 16–24GB is ideal for heavy grading, Fusion composites, and 8K timelines.
  • Displays: Ensure the GPU has the HDMI/DisplayPort outputs to match your monitor stack.
Memory

Memory (RAM): Bigger Projects, Smoother Previews

High-res media, nested timelines, and complex comps all consume RAM. After Effects caches frames to memory for instant playback; Resolve and Premiere benefit from larger caches and background processes.

  • ? 64GB for serious 4K editorial.
  • ? 96–128GB for heavy AE comps, Fusion work, and multicam 6K/8K.
  • ? Up to 256GB for large VFX shots and feature-length workflows.
Storage

Storage: Fast I/O and Smart Project Layout

Split your workload to avoid contention and speed up both previews and exports:

  • Drive 1 — OS/Apps: NVMe Gen 4/5 SSD.
  • Drive 2 — Projects/Cache: NVMe SSD for active media, previews, & scratch.
  • Drive 3 — Renders/Archive: High-capacity SSD/HDD, NAS, or Thunderbolt array.
??

Throughput wins: NVMe Gen 5 boosts ingest, conforms, and exports; SATA SSDs remain cost-effective for bulk storage and long-form assets.

Software

Application-Aware Tuning

  • Adobe Premiere Pro: Multi-core CPU + strong GPU for real-time 4K/8K playback and rapid encodes.
  • Adobe After Effects: Prioritize single-thread CPU speed, high RAM capacity, and a dedicated cache SSD.
  • DaVinci Resolve: GPU horsepower (and VRAM) drive grading and Fusion; dual-GPU scales well.
  • Foundry Nuke: Robust CPUs and ample RAM for complex node graphs; GPU aids certain effects and viewers.

Working with H.264/H.265? Hardware decode/encode on modern NVIDIA GPUs (NVDEC/NVENC) can dramatically reduce export times. RAW formats (BRAW/RED) benefit from high PCIe bandwidth and fast NVMe storage.
