I was being facetious. Now that you’ve added that information I’m sure the pros here will be better able to help you.

I’m gonna tell you right now, when the big boys come to your post they’re gonna ask you to provide your machine’s specs so you may as well post them now. It’ll make it a lot easier for them. Just saying bare bones means nothing. You could be running Windows 98 for all they know.

It was old. CS5 I think. It still had the gnurled scrubbing knobs 😉
I went back and looked at it again and noticed he was using a laptop when that happened. He was going to transfer the file to the Z800 afterward.Another question. The one I’m getting has Windows 7 installed. Should I let it update to Windows 10 or keep Windows 7?

In the meantime I can just plug my camera into a USB port, right? On the off chance I send this back I don’t need an extra card reader. Once I know I’m keeping it, then I’ll get an external card reader. Can’t beat free shipping!
Oh, I was just wondering about something. I was watching a youtube video where this guy was demonstrating 4K video in Premiere Pro on a Z800 and it scrubbed and played smoothly, but when he so much as added a “Day4Night” lumetri preset it bogged down. How can that be? My current computer doesn’t even bog down on 1080p with a lumetri look added to it.

Oh no! Does this thing not have an SD Card slot? If not how can I get my footage into it? Don’t say buy an SD card adapter, I’ve already spent way more money than I should have on this, and this is precisely what I was afraid of, having to run out and buy extra stuff just to get up and running.

Thanks, precisely what I was looking for!

Some quick questions if you have the time.
1. Will I be able to playback at full resolution in Premiere Pro?
2. When I scrub or play back footage with effects added will it play back smoothly (Remember, I ain’t remaking Star Wars here!)
3. Should everything basically be instantaneous (changes to effects and such)I know rendering won’t be instantaneous but a one minute clip with keyed layer, Neat Video and a fairly heavy effect will render in about 2 or 3 minutes, give or take a minute? I’m only asking educated opinion, not holding you to your solemn word 😉

Yikes, I’m an amateur video editor not a mechanic!!! 😉
Thanks for all that, Joe, but I’m a firm believer in the old saying “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. I’ve proven that adage to be true too many times, but I will go under the hood if I need to add RAM or if something is amiss.The first thing I’ll do is open a project I did that took over 8 hours to render (a 4 minute effects laden clip) and see how this baby handles it. But I won’t be getting it until next Wednesday so I’ve got time. Right now I’m trying to figure out why Premiere Pro suddenly has no sound. But that’s for another thread.
Thanks again, Joe. Yer the tops! And the rest of you guys, too.

Stupid question number 1. Do the original files from the camera show these glitches? To me that looks like a camera glitch. Did you install the Nikon Hacker patch for your camera by any chance? Not that I heard it causes problems, just wondering.
In the meantime, when you go to export your video (file>export>media), on the bottom right of the window that opens, click “queue” instead of “export”. That will open Media Encoder.
I don’t use handbrake but you can open your .MOV file in Premiere Pro and export it as a PNG sequence. Now, you will probably freak out like I did at first because, if there are 2,000 frames of video in your clip, you will get 2,000 png files in whatever folder you save it to. But when you open it back in Premiere Pro, it will make them all one file. Just click the first image (it has 00 in its name) and check the Open Sequence box or whatever it’s called. You’ll see it. The letters are in light blue.
I’m not much more experienced than you so you’ll have to wait for the others to help with your other problem but these guys are great.

Well, I took the dive. Just placed the order. I hope you guys are ready for my questions, and I hope I don’t have too many. Mostly after I set up I’ll probably ask for ways to maximize my speeds and stuff. Again, this is the one I bought:
