Is the HP Z820 Workstation Class Machine…

some beta testing i did for XAVC-S footage:

these improved my framerate by 20%:

26. set audio to 44.1 in hardware and premiere
audio pref – disable play audio while scrubbing
disable maintain pitch
audio hardware latency 200ms

disable sequence composite linear color
sequence audio settings 32000hz
sequence settings preview file 1920×1080 1/2 size video frame size 3840×2160 then 1/2 size playback

27. in monitor, pull markers together so there’s less tick marks per inch, the playback marker will go

offscreen while playing back.

Thanks, Chris, but it didn’t affect playback at all.

yea, it contused me too at first. Once at Ctrl+f12 console view, click top left change to debug database view. I’m still messing with it. It’s from this post:

If you ever decide to upgrade again, I highly recommend https://pcpartpicker.com/

Yes, this time I see a list. I’ll make the changes you suggested and report back for the benefit of others.

I do want to upgrade but I received a financial setback on Friday when my lawnmower died ($300.00) and on the way home this state trooper pulled me over and gave my SON a ticket ($179.00) for not wearing a seatbelt! On a 2 lane 35 mph road where I was doing the limit! Grrrrrrr….

I made all the changes except ImporterMXF.ReadBlockSizeinKB. I didn’t have that in my list. Anyway, it made no difference. I guess I’ll just struggle along until I can get a more powerful box. Thanks again, Chris.

Well, I got in touch with the original seller and re-ordered the original box I got before. He said he would make sure they don’t send me the same machine. Got it for the same price as well. Ripped open one of my no longer working computers and pulled out the HDD. It’s a Seagate 7200rpm 3.5″, etc. I don’t know if it’s the reason my old computer died or the mother board crapped out. I do know that I couldn’t re-install Windows using the HDD, the USB ports, or the DVD player, so if the HDD is good I’ll have two HDD’s.

Anyway, these are the specs, again. I know Joe thinks this is pretty good. Any other opinions? It comes Thursday.
