Optimizing Hardware Systems for
Adobe
Today’s digital video and cinema content creators demand more performance from their systems—
especially as they take on an ever-widening array of jobs at ever-larger media sizes. However, not all
editors, colorists, and graphic artists are also computer hardware specialists. This document will discuss
how you—a user of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, After Effects CS6, SpeedGrade CS6, and Photoshop
Extended CS6 software—can analyze your needs based on the type of work you do. With this
information, you can then either choose a new computer system or enhance an existing one with simple
add-in components that will deliver optimal performance for your unique set of requirements. The goal
is to balance the components of your system to deliver the performance your specific tasks require.
This allows you to focus on your own creativity while efficiently delivering what your client needs.
We will unravel this challenge in three stages:
• Explain the major hardware components of a computer system, and their role in the overall
performance of a video workstation.
• Discuss the unique hardware demands of Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, SpeedGrade, and
Photoshop, highlighting which functions will benefit the most from specific hardware improvements.
• Summarize the above information into hardware recommendations for common tasks.
