Hi Eric,

Thanks for your reply.

I mostly work with HD. I shoot on Canon XF105s, occasionally a 5D and
DJI Osmo – so a little bit of 4K creeps in from time to time, I’m sure
that will increase in the future but it’s not 4K heavy at the moment.
Anything shot remotely is usually similar. A variety of work comes my
way, from corporate interviews to school productions and zoom chats to
weddings.

Budget is a tough question at the moment because I’m not sure what kind of system will meet/exceed the recommended spec and, as you say the usage is a factor. Obviously the priority is finding something fit for purpose first and seeing if I can work a budget to suit. I looked a pc builder site and punched in everything that seemed to suit the recommended specs from adobe (plus 2TB HD and 1TB SSD) and it came in at under £1300 which I thought was pretty reasonable.

I’m not sure where I should go from there in terms of, should I be looking a particularly exceptional graphics card, or would a better cooling system be worth it etc etc. It’s those tweaks I’m having trouble with. There’s also the Intel/AMD debate which goes right over my head!

At the moment, I’m using CS6 on an Intel i5 with 6GB RAM – it’s served me very well for a decade, but it’s time to part ways!

The key that I am using (see image) is the same key that I have always used to create a new line of text and it is no longer doing so.
Instead it is applying the settings and closing the box. Neither the line return key, nor the enter key gives me a new line of text.

???? can safely say I’ve tried that one – unsurprisingly it provides some rather vague results!

Some of these look great, thanks for the recommendation!
