However, I had none of the RAM-related problems I’ve occasionally encountered with Premiere Pro CS4–none of the slow reading and writing of data to the hard drive instead of to RAM, fewer playback and timeline scrubbing hesitations, and generally smoother operation overall.Īs with the 64-bit Photoshop, Premiere Pro requires that you allocate RAM manually–up to a maximum of 128GB. Relying on CPU power, Premiere Pro CS5 didn’t render any more quickly than Premiere Pro CS4 did. When I installed a beta version of Creative Suite 5 on my test system, a dual-Xeon workstation running Windows 7 64-bit with 8GB of RAM, I did not notice a substantial improvement in rendering speed–but then, my workstation doesn’t have one of the approved graphics cards. On a 32-bit system, once all your startup programs load, you may have little left over to run memory-intensive applications. The 32-bit versions of Windows have been squeezing users: Those OSs can recognize only 4GB of RAM at most, even as applications and Windows itself have come to demand ever-increasing amounts of RAM.

If you have one of a very select (and expensive) group of graphics cards, the application will greatly speed up rendering and real-time playback, and leave your computer’s CPU to handle more-mundane tasks. In addition to being 64-bit-aware, Premiere Pro CS5 relies heavily on GPU processing.

With the new Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 ($799 stand-alone, $1299 as part of Creative Suite 5 Design Standard prices as of April 12, 2010), though, you’ll have all the components necessary to make even high-definition video editing fly. You may have all the elements of a great video-editing setup, but for one thing: a video-editing application that can take advantage of all that inexpensive hardware. Big, beautiful LCD monitors? Cheap, cheap, cheap.
