[Shane Ross] “The current MacPros will blow this config out of the water. Dual Xenons are superior to a single Intel i7 8700. This would be more competition to the current iMac.”
The Mac Pro for $2999.99 does not have Dual Xeons. In another 6 months some of the $1,4000.00 PC might have the Volta GPUs in them. What good would a D 500 do against Volta? I am not saying the PC will blow away the Mac Pro. I am saying for $1,4000.00 Apple offers nothing to compete with the gaming PCs. Does Apple even offer the Coffee Lake CPUs? The Xeons in the past have been out performed by the i7 just like the GeForce cards outperform the Quadro cards. Having said that Edius and FCPX will will both get a huge performance boost using the i7 as opposed to the Xeon CPU when editing AVCHD/H.264/mpeg4. Perhaps the new Xeons will have Quick Sync. Only time will tell.

[John Pale] “The text positioning gets all messed up if you use Project Manager to Consolidate the sequence, as well.”
Let Adobe know.

It should work OK but a $1,900.00 gaming PC might be a better bang for the buck.
[manish choudhary] “or should i buy new upcoming i mac pro with same config..??”
Will the Mac Pro offer the Quadro card or the GTX series?

I have let Adobe know about the issues between GPU acceleration and CPU acceleration for a long time. On a positive note it is now 2017. In the year 2019 or 2020 8 core and 16 core CPU will be the norm. You may not need an expensive $350.00 GPU in the not so distant future.

instead of “Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration”

[Rory Newman] “But we also use a MBP for editing. That’s what she takes with her to India, so we need both machines the same. And given I’ve also got a MBA, it would be silly to change all 3.”
Who said anything about changing all three?
[Rory Newman] ”
And all the people she knows use Macs. She needs to be able to just take a HDD round there.”They have software to allow Mac and PC to read and write to the other OS’s hard drives.
[Rory Newman] “But I do know what you mean. The insurance has paid me almost £3,700 and I could get a mental PC for that money But I haven’t used a PC since Win7 about 5 years ago. I’ve forgotten everything, and would have to replace all the software I’ve got on my macs from backup.”
You could just try one Windows PC with just Premiere Pro. If the experience is good you could migrate over time.
[Rory Newman] “I’m also doing an MA and would hate to have to get to grips with a new OS and lose things like dictation and my mouse and keyboard shortcuts.”
You can map the keyboard how you want it and there might be things about Windows 10 you like. Like touch screen support.
[Rory Newman] “But you are right. If I had a PC, I could get a 4 bay raid array and put in 2x2tig SSDs for now, with another SSD in the machine, have the same processor, 2 x 4k screens, etc, all for the money I’ll be spending on the mac. It is gutting.”
That is kind of my point and you might find you like Windows. Below are some videos that might be worth watching. I will be doing more OS X and Windows 10 videos soon. I have a Mac Mini and I like it. I just wish Apple would offer more options.

[Eric Merklein] “Essential Graphics is a nightmare!!!
Just the fact that you would have to make media for every title is a pathetic move, made by someone who is not an editor with network or cable channel experience.
The developers might want to reach out to we users before they screw us up.
Venting is good.”
I think everyone needs to let Adobe know “not” to get rid of the old titling system. I think the Essential Graphics Panel is pure BS. It lacks a lot of features that the old titling system had. I would have preferred Adobe just slightly revamp the old titling tools. I think Adobe wasted time creating something worse than we had yet they did not fix all the bugs. I say send your thoughts to Adobe’s bug report and feature request if you are unhappy with the Essential Graphic Panel . I have.

If you are moving to Premiere Pro have you thought about getting a Windows PC?
-
Select Maximum bit rate and see if that helps. Also try using GPU acceleration turned on and off and see if you notice a difference.

Are both temporal and spacial set to linear?

[David Mathis] “Just saw that on Facebook today. I guess that makes Mac OS the new Windows. ????”
The Mac OS has always had bugs. Having said that so does Windows. In order for the Mac OS to be the new Windows OS X has to overcome the Windows 95 paradigm that it still uses.
