Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro System specs question

  • System specs question

    I’m looking to edit a documentary in either Avid or Premiere pro. I am buying a new Imac to do so.

    I am curious – does this seem like it will function with both premiere/avid and davinci 12 lite? I am hoping to be able to do some light color work in real time with 2k footage.

    Potential specs –
    4.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 4.2GHz
    8GB 1867MHz DDR3 SDRAM – two 4GB (please keep in mind I will upgrade to 16GB at the very least.)
    2TB Fusion Drive (not sure about flash storage, as it wears over time)
    AMD Radeon R9 M395 with 2GB video memory

    2k will require faster disk speed unless you take advantage of premiere’s new proxy function.
