  • Hello Oliver.

    I purchased an Asus Rog GR8 with a 500 ssd and 1TB drive, a 1060 Nvidia card on board, and duel quad core processor for $1,000. I added RAM to get to 32 gigs and the system is lightning fast. The thing looks cool and can be picked up with my fingers.

    I attached a GLYPH raid stack via USB3 and that works great too.

    It seems to me that the ever growing gaming community has spurred development of lower priced, hard as nails PC’s.

    Gamer’s beat the heck out of their computers, so sellers like ASUS have to meet their needs.

    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 was at a wonderful post house called Electronics in LA. Ampex was a mighty machine, but I prefer to carry an HD show in my pocket flash drive.

    It’s my humble opinion that the Media Encoder is a lightweight system at best. And it gets worse the longer the timeline

    If I’m doing a project with 3 and 4 video layers, or video that is very, very detailed (like analytics charts. or ThinkCell graphics) the encoder crashes. And if there is motion involved it’s crazy bad.

    This happens even when I nest multi video tracks and render everything.

    If a show is complicated I export in Pro and sit there with hands folded.

    It’s still better than cutting 2″tape with a razor blade.

    Hi John.

    Could it be that when you have 2 tracks playing at the same time the audio level hits the roof and the crackling is actually distortion?

    Just a thought.

    As someone who doesn’t have much time to build motion graphic (and I’m not an After EFX head (wish I was) I do like the capability to purchase from a place like templates market place.

    Essential Graphics give us a bare bones platform and adds more work in terms of key strokes, AND it forces me to create media files for every title I create.

    It’s just more stuff to carry around, back up and re-link.

    The system is quite clumsy and I wish that Adobe would have webinar meet ups from time to time so that we editors can talk to Adobe developers.

    Onward!

    Do you still get the bounce after rendering?

    Hello Oliver and thanks for the heads up.

    Do you know if Legacy title is staying in 2018? I’m on a crazed schedule and don’t have much time to dig into research time.

    I’m hoping that Legacy will stay around for a long time.

    Many thanks.

    Well it looks like I’m far from getting a file size for a long form doc or feature.

    I agree with Dave’s comment that Pro can choke depending on what’s on the screen.

    Having left the big city and ensconced at a great college, I’m working with heavy data analytics
    and it’s math results. The 1080 screen gets heavy busy with what looks like Excel on massive steroids, motion all the time too.

    I find that I have to nest, and render twice before exporting, or it fails. Encoder becomes useless, “Normal” video works just fine.

    Thanks to all for responding.

    Good afternoon.

    For editing at home I bought an ASUS ROG GR8 gaming PC. Even though its small, it packs a Nvidia 1060, 32gigs of Ram and a duel quad core processor.

    With a 500 gig SS drive and a GLYPH raid stack, this thing is lightning fast. Great audio and video quality.

    Good luck.

    Eric
