  • Is Ryzen 5 5600 enough for professional proxy editing ?

    Posted by Mohamed Yehia on January 4, 2025 at 5:25 am

    My CPU was damaged

    I want to buy new CPU for only proxy film editing

    I don’t know whether I should I invest in high CPU or not

    I am thinking about Ryzen 5 5600

    I am using dnxhr or dnxhd 1080p in premiere
    It will be for my indie feature film shot by Cinema camera like Alexa,
    Editing only , no vfx or coloring

    the CPU has to be compatible with :

    GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1650 GAMING X 4G

    Drive (system): Crucial 480GB BX500 SATA 2.5-inch SSD

    Drive (Media): Internal: SAMSUNG EVO 970 Plus M.2 NVMe SSD (this piece I upgraded afterward)

    external: Western Digital My Book 4TB (I bought it afterward)

    RAM: 4* Ballistix Crucial Sport LT 8GB DDR4

    Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 AORUS ELITE Socket AM4 (rev. 1.0)C

    CPU cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE

    PSU: Cooler Master Elite V3-600W

    What do you recommend ?

    The graphics card will depend on the specs needed to do Proxy Editing, not sure how much resolution and length of the editing you plan to do but you may want to read this article explaining about the Proxy Workflow incase it helps you understand whats needed: https://blog.cimediacloud.com/premiere-pro-proxy-workflow/

    If the proxy editing you will do requires that CPU you mention, go for it but since you said you wanted to replace a broken CPU, get something probably with slightly better performance than the last CPU you had and it should be compatible for the proxy editing. And also have a budget for the CPU because buying something powerful for the sake of having better specs but if you do not need it in order to do the work you do, just get something with your budget and needs. That way you can save that extra money for something you truly need in the future as well. Always good to prepare for the future, right? Hope that it helps! 🙂

    Yes, Ryzen 5 5600 is sufficient for your film editing needs, the Ryzen 5 5600 is a good choice. It should work well with your setup, especially since you’re not doing heavy effects. Just make sure everything else stays compatible.
