All language subtitles for 2. 5 Incredible Optimisation Tips for Premiere Pro CC

Hi everybody welcome back.

It is Brad here again with another Adobe Premiere Pro Sisi video.

This time though I'm going to give you some optimization tips to help you make this software run faster

on your laptop or your computer.

These are tips that I've personally implemented myself and it's made my life so much easier so I'll

get straight into them.

So the first optimization tip that I have for you is more hardware related so I'll be very quick with

this one but the moment I upgraded my hard drive in my laptop from a standard hard drive to one of these

which is an SSD my software performance just went through the roof.

I highly recommend if you can look into this first to see if your laptop or if your computer supports

an SSD.

So it's a solid state drive.

They look like these like a little memory chip and a lot of.

In fact all as far as I'm aware all new laptops support SSD.

But when you buy them off the shelf usually you have to upgrade them to an SSD.

So if you can see if your current model of laptop or computer supports this and if you have the funds

for it I'd highly recommend investing in one of these.

I can't believe.

Just real quick.

I can't believe that for several years I was just running a normal hard drive in my editing laptop and

I was so frustrated because it was so slow and I even implemented the other tips that I'm about to give

you after this one and it just wasn't running fast enough and I got so frustrated I was like Screw this

I'm just going to upgrade to an SSD I'm going to fork out one hundred and thirty bucks I think I got

this one actually the 860 even though and my rendering speed.

So like when I go control on my keyboard here and it comes up with a little box to render the video

it would usually take like 40 minutes sometimes for some videos to render that got reduced down to like

eight minutes and I was like wow that is crazy I used to like start rendering a video that I'd go to

the gym and train.

Then I come back it would be finished.

Now I can literally just like render the video within like 10 minutes and I don't even have to leave

the house so I think this is one of the best upgrades you can possibly make.

So that's the first tip the next couple of tips are related specifically to the performance on a software

level.

So if you can't afford the upgrade or your laptop or computer doesn't support SSD then here's a couple

of things you can try it really really basic.

First thing is you've have your playback resolution over here and by default premiere process it to

fall.

So in other words when you play back your clip on your timeline your video on your timeline it's playing

back that at full resolution and it can get really chunky.

So what I suggest you do is select that to one quarter or one half and you'll find that you're playback

speed performance will be much better.

So try that that's the next one at the next one on my list here is the effects toggling the effects

on and off.

So typically like when you start throwing everything into your timeline you might have like you know

once you start filling out your layers with like different effects and transitions and color grading

and adjustment layers and audio and all this kind of stuff when you start playing back that sequence

it can get really really slow.

So what you can do is you can actually mute the effects so that a premier pro only plays back the video

portion it doesn't play back any effects.

So we're going to do is if you click on the plus icon here and you'll see where it says effects if you

just click on that or drag it across and click Okay.

It will now come down onto your your your playback menu here.

And if you just click on that it will change blue and you can toggle that on and off right.

And that will just make things a little bit faster for us if I click on this right.

As you can see the colors changing because it's turning off the adjustment layer.

Right.

Turning it on and off.

Anyway I tried that.

That's the next little tip.

Another one on my list here is the are going into your settings are going at it down to preferences

then going down to memory and then here is a real game changer.

There's actually improve the performance.

This is before my hard drive upgrade actually.

I remember change the setting and it made the world of difference because this was by default.

I think we're set to like six or something like that.

And on my laptop as you can see I've got 16 gigabytes of RAM installed.

And so what I did was I just dropped that down to the minimum which is three.

So what it says is Ram reserve for other applications three gigabytes.

So what I'm saying is I want Adobe Premiere Pro to use as much of my RAM as possible Ram available for

Premier pro is now 13 gigabytes.

You want to devote as much RAM as possible to Adobe Premier program and then make sure the stand here

is set from memory optimized rendering for memory.

Make sure it's ticked on performance.

Okay.

Then click Okay.

The next one I have on my list is actually pretty important.

And this is really important if you're getting into multiple sequenced projects.

So if I click on these two arrows here you can see I have all of my sequences here.

Now I probably got like 10 sequences or something like that here but when I first started Adobe Premiere

Pro and I was doing daily videos for like my travel videos I'd have like 10 15 20 sequences in one project

file.

And my project file was so big that if Premier pro crashed and it oftentimes did crash because the project

file was so big I'd have to reset my laptop.

It would take literally like you know 15 minutes for Premier pro to open up the project file and it

was so frustrating.

This is what I suggest you do.

I've now changed my ways and this has made the world of difference to me.

So I'm now going into my external hard drive where I store all of my archived projects and I'll go into

fitness straight flocks.

This is a classic one.

Now I did a daily pretty much a daily video series 39 episodes something like that.

Thirty nine forty something episodes.

A lot of videos and I couldn't I couldn't put 40 sequences in one project.

It just is not practical.

So what I suggest you do is do exactly what I've done I've actually created multiple different projects

that within each one has about 10 or you know maybe seven or so sequences inside each project.

I split them up deliberately.

That just means that I can get the maximum maximum but I can get better performance out of Adobe Premiere

Pro rather just storing everything in the one project file.

I tried to keep my project file size to around two to three megabytes and as you can see here I've gone

over but with the new hard drive the SSD it you know it's okay it survives.

So if you're running a standard hard drive like that's going to really kill it.

So that's one big suggestion just make sure that when you get into multiple sequences when you get to

about 10 sequences or seven sequences that you start a brand new project and that's going to help you

as well.

So there are just a couple of the tips that I have I can't talk about proxies in working with proxy

files later.

There's a few other bits and pieces as well but that's enough for now.

If you have any questions let me know be more than happy to help you out.
