![Do FASTER SSDs Make Your Editing SMOOTHER on Premiere Pro? [Bottlenecks in Premiere PRO]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zFnoZUjcHIc/mqdefault.jpg)
*This is literally my go to channel for editing. Even 5 years from now I will still be going back and forth to this channel. You never stop learning. I like to always view myself as a student rather than label myself an expert regardless whether I have been editing 10,20, 30 years.*
Wow, thanks! It's comments like yours that keeps me going.
I literally shared the same sentiment!
You're a great ommunicator. Thank you for always addressing and showing all the hiccups that occur along the way.
Colin, your tutorials over the years always save, save, save me! Thank you.
Happy to help!
In response to my own question--it was a dumb question, but in case other newbies are confused: Go to the drive first, find project, and doubleclick on it; that will prompt Premiere Pro to open to the project as you last saved it. (Don't start the program first and try to "import" the project. That is what I was trying to do unsuccessfully.) Thank you for the clear and engaging video. I will look for more!
Thank you SO MUCH for the file manager! I have been looking for this since I bought my Windows PC a year and a half ago. I'm so grateful. Now I'll keep watching the rest of the tutorial, hahah.
Direttore File Manager is so great to use. Plus, he keeps updating it with new features. I love it.
This was exactly what I needed. Great tips, clear, to the point, and you're just an awesome host! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Colin. This is very useful information. Thanks for taking the time to create this tutorial!
Glad you enjoyed it Keith.
You are my go-to as I move more into the editing world from the shooting world. I appreciate your knowledge experience and I formation. These are really solid productions 🏁👌
That's great to hear and thanks for watching.
Really helpful, thank you!
Your videos are excellent! Thank you!
Have been using Samsung T5 - 1TBl external SSD's via USB-C to USB-C to edit from as well as capture too from BlackMagic cameras. Work's fantastic. They are so fast at 440mbps read/write. 1080 and simple 4k projects are no problem. And easy to move from studio desktop beast to laptop remote location work. Thanks for the organization tips Colin.
Wow, those are some fast speeds! Glad you liked it.
This video was really helpful! Thank you! :)
Thank you Colin for another great tutorial. This using SSD information was very helpful. All the best to you & yours & to everyone reading this. Appreciative Pr Pro CC beginner.
Thanks as always. I'm working on a compete beginners guide to video editing in Premiere Pro. So far it's 3 hours long! Stay tuned.
@@VideoRevealed thank you Colin, I'm excited to see that one. All the best to you & Yours.
Thanks so much! This was really easy to follow, and I'm already getting started on a new project 😊🙌🏻
Glad it was helpful!
Such a great explainer and clear direction! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was checking my project settings with yours , thanks for the info .
My pleasure.
Great video as always, I learned a lot from you Mr Colin....!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
thanks for making this one, very helpful
I'm glad you think so.
Great Work as Always! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for your ongoing support.
great vid, very insightful
Do you store these files on the SSD but need a seperate SSD for media cache? Or can you store media cache and your files on the same SSD?
You have great videos. Very well done. And useful.
Thanks so much.
Top tutorial, thanks!
You're welcome!
It must be me, but I've only ever had problems with the "media browser", it always wants to lump like items into a folder I've had organized. For example: Images>Outside>Inside, If wanted to import the entire structure it would strip the two other folders Outside and Inside (those are names for this example) So I always find myself rebuilding the bins in premiere anyways.
Over a decade from CS4 to now, no issues with drag and drop or Crt-I.
Just discovered this channel! Great informations!
Thanks for watching!
Can I use SSD on my pc: 6GB RAM
dualcore 3.6 ghz processor
no gpu
118gb hard drive
I need it for video editing beacuseI dont have space for large projects
Thanks for this. I have been editing in my office for a year and a half and now I want to get out of the house and use my laptop. Just working out where all of my linked files have gone.
I will go and be more organised =D
Yep, you're going to be happy you did.
How to format Samsung T7 Shield SSD connected to Windows (Dell XPS 17 9720) and set it to use Premiere Pro?
Thank you, good information.
Glad it was helpful!
Love this channel!
Glad to hear it!
Thanks so much Sir it is very helpfu.
Happy to help
I did this for the last two years and thought it was darn speedy.
I sure is.
I just got a T7 Samsung 2 TB SSD. What a difference to my WD 7200rpm. SSD is the way to go!!!
Agree 100%.
It''s so funny when you scold us for silly mistakes like saving to desktop.. Anyways good day to you sir! Amazing video
Absolutely. We all need best practices. My wife has changed my housekeeping and décor habits and I benefit from a clean and orderly studio with fewer distractions.
Thank you for your video, here’s a scenario, SSD and HD with equivalent transfer speeds, I direct my cache location to the SSD. Will the SSD increase my playback performance ?
Maybe, a little. But it's not like it's going to make a slow computer faster. It can help but don't expect 2X speed increases.
Thank you very much for yours tutorials. They are very well explained and easy to understand even for an "Italian beginner" like me (sorry for my English that is not very good). I have a question, please: if I have a 3 years old laptop Windows 10, 16GB RAM with 3 SSD, 1 internal for OS & software, 1 external for Project & Source Media and another 1 external for Media Cache & Scratch; the proxy files I will create with Premiere Pro (I need make proxy files because I have a multi-camera project in 4K at 60fps), do I have to save the Proxy files in the SSD dedicated at the Project & Source ? or better in the SSD for Media Cache & Scratch or in the OS SSD? Which option will help me to increase speed and "flow"? Thank you very much! PD if I can a last question, please: which media will you suggest for producing lightweight proxy media files?
All your drives are the same speed so it's more about organization. I prefer not to have media on my main C drive but it's up to you.
this is great if you are working on a computer that is not your own. or if your main drive is small. rendering and exporting may be slower than expected, but that is the trade off.
I use sansung and addlink ssd, 1 tb. and extenal 2.5 enclosures that are about $10 that I can just swap drives when needed
That's a great workflow!
Thank you sir! One question: when editing from a SSD, what is the best location for the media cache files (and disk cache files for after effects)? Also on the SSD next to the project or local, on the computer itself? Thnks!
I like to keep media, caches, projects, on a drive other than my main drive. Just make sure it's fast.
Thank u very much!
You're welcome!
hi there!, is it recomended to only use one (fast) NVME SSD for everything? OS/Apps/Media/Cache... or is too much even more a fast NVME?
Fast drives are recommended. M.2 or SSDs are fine or for larger storage, use a RAID drive.
Will saving the project file in the same place as all the footage (on the ssd) help with choppy playback ?
No. But you could try changing the Audio Hardware settings in Preferences to None.
Just what I needed... Colin, are you aware of any in-person training on the Adobe Suite? Is there an institution that provides such training on one or all of the
apps?
Adobe has a list of trainers:

what if i follow the process and create the structure in SSD in windows.. will the same ssd and file structure would work on mac if I plug the ssd in it. thanks
Yes. As long as you stay away from the reserved characters for both platforms. Don't use:
:"/\|?*-[]'
What sort of a size external SSD would one need? I'm not very techy, by the way! 😁I was searching in the description for an affiliate link - I think people might like that. I'd like to try editing in 4K but I fear my laptop may start smoking and blow up. Editing with proxies is on my current to-learn list.
Question: if you had a cheaper laptop that wasn't suitable for video editing, could you get around this by using an SSD? I'm wondering if that would be a quick solution for parents to facilitate their kids starting to edit on their laptops without shelling out a fortune for a super-fast laptop for them.
Thanks for the really useful videos.
Use Proxies for 4k. But ask yourself if you really need 4k media to begin with. If you're always exporting HD, then you probably don't need 4k.
Drive speed is only one part of the equation. You need a fast CPU, lots of RAM and a beefy GPU. Adding a fast SSD only speeds up media access.
This is probably a dumb question, but . . . . If I already have created sequences and have a project saved on an external drive, do I still start a "new project" or do I "open project"? Is the rest of the process you demonstrated the same to get the actual video and audio off the external drive if you already have sequences and a project?
Hi there, I copied my entire project to the T7. I then opened the project up and it was fine. Just check your swap file is same as project (now on the T7)
Importing accidently in the wrong folder is happening so often to me, I figured out that you can drag it on the left, near of the arrow, to get it out of the folder, instead of maximize the window to then drag it at the bottom.
Or better yet, select the correct bin before importing and that's where your imported files will go.
I have a fairly powerful system ... i9-9980XE, RTX-2080Ti, 64GB RAM, All Internal SSD Workflow ... and I am using a proxy workflow. BUT ... during playback, PP "chokes" on some basic crossfade transitions. Most of the crossfades are fine, but the SAME two or three transitions choke every time even with playback quality set to 1/4 or 1/8 with proxies enabled. Can't figure out what is different about these transitions.
The only choice is to set IN and OUT points around the transition and render that part.
@@VideoRevealed Thanks! Turns out it was Warp Stabilized clips that were causing the problem. Would be nice if they could make WS work better in a proxy workflow.
I have one NVMe SSD *7000mb per sec + HDD drive, should I work on my project on the SSD including all the caches, and use HDD just for archiving, or maybe I can use it for some of the Cache storages too?
The cache should always be on a fast drive. You can put the Project, media and cache on the same drive is that's all you have. But really, the Disk Cache for After Effects is where you're really going to notice a performance gain.
@@VideoRevealed 👌
is it best to edit from and external SSD or a internal ssd mounted externally?
No difference as long as the external SSD is connected on a fast port like USB3 or Thunderbolt.
Does the same speed theory apply to non USB ssd drives.
Mine are plugged in as hard drives inside my PC.
There are different speed SSD drives (internal and external). Some of the lesser name and less expensive variants are slower.
Internal SSDs are fast too. In may cases, they are the fastest you can get. Personally, I've never been able to see the difference between SSD speeds. They're all fast for me.
Correct, but I don't really see a difference with speed.
@@VideoRevealed In most real world home use you won't see a difference without two otherwise identical machines. The difference is real, several times I've seen two otherwise identical machines with different SSD's perform differently.
My advice is still sick to name brands and buy somewhere in the 70 or 80% price range. The upper 20% is where the price sharply rises but the performance only improves slightly creating poor value.
Best premiere pro tip ever is Save,Save,Save. Everytime you work on a project Save and Save a Copy every few minutes. Even in Premiere pro 2023!!! Still loves to crash
Just received a new MacBook Pro, M2, with 1TB SSD. I also have a 1TB external SSD. Should I use the internal SSD or would I be better to use the external SSD?
I have a 130gb ssd And i run Premier pro, Photshop, Illustrator and Ableton 11 and I have like 2 gb left. Cant even update my drivers :(
@@AhrnNilsson Not good.
but does it help to edit....when your videos get choppy.....does it increase the speed and your machines ability to keep up? I understand the organizational value just fine , and very much appreciate the video.
Drive speed is only one part of equation. Please watch this tutorial:
ruclips.net/video/LSj68RBgb2A/видео.html
I have a question, do you run your video editing software ON the SSD?
Yes. All my drives are SSDs .
@@VideoRevealed I think they were asking if you are are running the software on the SAME external SSD as where you are editing the projects.
I'm reassured to see that it's not just me that does 'save, save, save, save!' I practically do it after every action to the point it's automatic and I don't realise I'm doing it.
Yes, I'm been doing that since the 1980's!
I dont have an ssd, When I edit a video with 100s of cips thumbnails not load fast. it take long time which need to open project each time. is there any solution for loading each time? thank you.
There is not solution. Loading thumbnails is slow.
@@VideoRevealed okay
Is ssd can improve that speed significantly?
SSD is the magical answer. This year I changed all the discs because Premier didn't work..
Do you have any tutorials for organising and remapping the clips/files in projects AFTER the projects are already created? At the time of making my projects, I didn't know about that helpful trick and, like a lemon, just dumped them into my PC's video, music and images folder which makes things confusing sometimes.
Any idea how to now get them into the proper folders like you showed us?
Colin needs some help. I can't locate the answer for this: When editing, I can not hear any audio when I move the playhead. I hear audio during playback, however not when I want to match audio by moving the playhead??? Please help...
Figured it out...thanks.
Hi. I think you should have left the solution so other people with the same problem who might stumble into this comment could find it here. I guess you went to "Preferences/Audio" and checked "Play audio while scrubbing".
@@RaquelAntaB Great advise...yes, that is what I did.
I'm glad you fixed it.
Great.
If you edit 1080p hd footage you don't need fast ssd. I have normal hdd drive that has 50mb/s read and write speed and edit just fine on that drive because when you play video it only reads 5 to 8mb/s and if you export it to that drive it does not exceed 50mb/s. It is just a little slow to show thumbnails but not for edit. I have also a fast ssd 1gb/s and I did ot notice any difference in editing.
Correct, it's not essential but it makes a difference.
who u save project
I do not understand your question. You can save a project as you'd save any computer file.
SSD discs solve all problems having to do with speed, chopping and workflow in 4K.
Good to know.
articulate
HAHAH save every time, sounds silly, but it is actually the most important thing you ALWAYS need to be doing. Really, all the time. If you are an experienced person on any adobe software you will get this like a OCD haha. REgards from Argentina!
I dont even consciously save anymore, its fully a habit
I sometimes save by habit even when I'm just reading the news, it's so in my fingers :D
I'm watching this tutorial and one area has me stuck. It's your F-drive. It's a 7,200 rpm hard drive, not an SSD. I don't see an SSD showing up on your list of drives at 8:01. Are you instructing us to pretend your F drive is OUR SSD and that's how you're showing us what files to put there and to aim Premiere scratch and cache files to be stored? I've just finally gotten an SSD and am determined to set it up efficiently to stop Premiere Pro from being so balky. Thank you for this fantastic tutorial!
Media Browser does not show whether a drive is SSD or not. My F drive was an SSD.
Isn't it impossible for an SSD to have an rpm rating? No moving parts. @@VideoRevealed
