Premier Pro ram

[Kevin Monahan]

We recommend 4GB installed per core (counting virtual cores from hyperthreading). Hope that helps.

So for my quad i7 with HT I should have 32 gigs of ram? Wow, I’m not sure my system can go up that high. I thought I was doing good with 18. (I was thinking of bumping it up to 24, though, to help with the situations where PPro and AE are open at the same time for a dynamic link…)

Actually, that recommendation is for After Effects (and on the high end).

For Premiere Pro, a practical minimum for RAM is about 8GB, reasonably smooth performance can be gotten at about 12GB, and performance plateaus around 24GB.
