Question performance Mac for CS5.5

Hey guys,.

Please forgive me if this is ignorant, but I'm a recently converted FCP user just updated my system and installed the Nvidia Quadro 4000 to improve performance. I was doing some rendering in the body and found that the performance of my computer always seems to be missing. So, I decided to run the activity monitor while making a small project.

If I read this correctly, it seems that my system does not full capacity (by far) to do the job.

What I see in the activity monitor, looks like my CPU is used only to about 20 percent of the capacity and RAM roughly 50%.

Here is a link to a screenshot of my activity monitor.  Please can someone explain what I'm seeing, and if I read this correctly?

And if so, what can I do to improve my computer performance.

Mac OS X 10.6.8

Model name: Mac Pro

Model name: Mac Pro
Model ID: MacPro4, 1

  • Another post "this set of operation will be OK for CS5.5?

    This again is another question "is the computer I want to be good enough for CS5.5." Before I ask you to please forgive my ignorance and the length of this post. I am new to having to worry about hardware. In the past any decent PC meets my needs, but I find that this is the case I now need to edit video.

    So I'll start with my special needs. I need portability. I am a student and directing a summer camp. In my role at the camp, I identified the need to improve our hardware promotional camp, and that's where video editing comes into play. I will be filming and editing of several short promotional films and a couple of short documentary style using DSLR footage and perhaps a small camcorder or two. After much research and play with some free trial software, I have it set on CS5.5, but there is that one problem, my computer is not up to the task. Conveniently enough, my current computer has seen better days, and it's time to spend anyway, so I was searching and shopping around trying to find a suitable computer. That portability is a must and I can't afford a decent desktop and a laptop (and even if I could it would be boring data transfer back), I've been looking at laptops. It seems that any mobile off - the shelf that is well suited to run adobe isn't really all that portable. Of course, you can carry it much easier that a computer desk, but you can't expect to get a full day in the life of the battery out of it, are not a reasonable weight to carry around the creation (my point is that a computer 17 "laptop is out). I did some digging, and after reading a lot of posts on this forum and a lot of information from other sources, I think I came up with a solution. I am looking for admission in any people of enthusiasts see potential problems with my idea, and for dell sales representatives are not tech savvy, so I thought it was a good place to discover how well adobe would go on my set - up proposed (I'm not a pro and won't be of feature films (, edition, so I don't think that I need the same performance that your desktop wearing I have just need to perform well with as few hold ups as possible).

    Here's what I came with:

    Dell XPS 14z:

      • Intel core i-7 2640 M (2.8 GHz, with "turbo boost" up to 3.50 GHz)
      • 8 GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM
      • 750 GB SATA, HDD 7200 RPM
      • NVIDIA Geforce 520 M 1 GB graphics card
      • The only information about the screen resolution I could find on the site web of Dell were "true 720 p HD display" after reading a few reviews, I found the specs are lower that the minimum recommended by Adobe, I forget exactly what they are.

    If this computer is no longer that I never needed for my needs no video editing. On paper, it's a nice small laptop, a little expensive ($1300!), but they can be had at a very reasonable price ($700 - $800) refurbished Dell online workshop. None-the-less, I see several problems with this configuration.

    First is the screen: it is not enough. Which is easily solved using an external monitor, and you can get a pretty decent screen off tiger direct for less than $200. I can tolerate a video editing at a desk, I need portability to other applications.

    Second is the hard drive. Reading this forum, I understand that editing with a single hard disk can slow things down a bit. I was wondering how big a deal it really is for the occasional Editor? There are adapters that allow you to place a second hard drive, where the optical drive is in this laptop. If necessary, I intend to put a second 750 GB 7200 rpm HARD drive where is the optical drive. Problem solved, right? Did anyone see any problem with this idea? My next question on the subject of the hard drive is: how would a third hard drive really benefit me? And data transfer using a with a USB 3.0 external HARD drive connection be fast enough to be a viable option for a third drive? Anyway I could take an appropriate hard drive and caddy for a little less than $175 and $100 for a USB 3.0 external HARD drive to be used as a third drive if necessary.

    The third potential problem is the RAM. It seems there are a lot of opinions out there about how much is enough. 8 GB is enough? According to the website of intel, this particular processor is compatible with up to 16 GB of RAM, and after searching the forums I found a few cases of people expand their RAM on this computer to 16 GB with no problems. I understand that I can replace the 2 x 4 GB current implemented with 1x4Go + 1X8GB or 2x8GB to give a total of 12 or 16 GB of RAM. Is it necessary or even beneficial?  8 GB would be more than enough for anything else I do, and since I have some experience with video editing I thought I would ask those who know. Need an upgrade of RAM? By using this configuration, I could update the RAM 12 GB for about $100 and 16 GB for about $200.

    Finally, the graphics card that is provided with this computer is not on the list of cards recommended by Adobe. I understand that this is because it only supports CUDA, how much of an issue is it? I'll be able to edit video without recommended card effectively?

    The point of all numbers is as follows: 800 + 200 + 175 + 100 = 1, 275. $ 1275ish seems to me that I could get a very reasonable video editing set up which is always portable. It is less than the price of the tile on these laptops and much less than a Mac book pro, which is the world's first recommendation when I mention that I want to use the computer for video editing. This looks like a very reasonable price for a laptop with a processor intel 2.8 GHz i7, two 750 GB 7200 rpm HDD, 12 GB of RAM, and an external monitor when I want to sit and change. Am I delusional thinking it would go well with CS5.5?

    So I guess the point is the following. Life is any compromise, since I need portability and I am not a professional (just an anal consumer with high standards :), I am willing to trade a little performance for improved portability of video editing. I want the opinion of those who have experience using CS5.5 with different layouts, my proposed set-up seems like a reasonable compromise? Improvements are still needed? They would be sufficient to provide a reasonable editing experience? All the other tips (not to mention than buying a desktop computer or a computer wicked expensive 17 "laptop which weighs two to three times more expensive and chews through the battery life)?

    Thank you for sticking with it and give me any comments. We appreciate it!

    Benson,

    Trying to stick with your original objectives and I think I can see where you're going, I have some tips and suggestions...

    -Since the SLR CAMERAS and camcorders (I guess as ACHDV) are very difficult codecs; I suggest that you consider only Intel QM 32nm processors (i.e. i7 2670QM w / 4 carrots + hyperthreading); Having twice the nuclei is HUGE for CS5/5.5

    -Suggest that go with a 14 "display 1600 x 900 for a good compromise between size, weight and cost

    -A video installation of nVidia level "gamers" will allow the massively useful EMT be put on (carrots GPU cuda)

    -8 GB of RAM will work; of course the 16 GB would allow for faster burns to DVD, but I don't feel that to be a need

    -Supports for the conversion of optical Bay NewModeUS are asesome to add a 2.5 "2nd if you need to change on the fly, but since you said you don't need this capability I suggest you get the external drive USB3.0 to 7200 RPM bigger, more formidable, you can plug in when you change. Of course a RAID 0 (disk 2) peripheral USB 3.0 would be even more ideal, but it can also break your budget.

    -Dell Alienware M14x meets all of these criteria; Yes, it will be a little heavier. Yes, it will be more expensive. But, more important still, it will get the job done. Any laptop ' thin, light and smooth "and which includes the current more little line of Macbook Pro won't be so IMHO.

    Kind regards

  • Windows 7 starts questions about mac and office 2010 following an installation

    It's a long cut as short as vent. I've been miss sold a record of upgrade of windows 8 full disk-shaped, with norton and office 2010. My goal of creating windows on my mac for a course I'm taking. After that know I need windows 7, I bought it online. I created a partition of 80g on my mac charge windows 7, then norton. Until I loaded the office that I was invited to perform the update from apple in the windows software 7. Note before I installed norton, I load boot camp mac utilities according to the instructions. So, followed by all as should be. The prompt update from apple was quick time, iTunes and airport, I checked all and then updated. Then I loaded office 2010 and obtained throughout the process from the Microsoft site. On the last part of the installation, the installation failed due to a mistake of hanging iTunes. I tried again and again, I fixed the update to iTunes to add and remove the section of windows. Then, I got different errors. I decided to remove the whole score without uninstalling all programs again. When I get to the windows live, that this falls priming. I get various error messages whenever I try to start the process. As a header of Bank pool, fatal error and so on. Can anyone help? What is the damage?

  • Serial number not working not not for CS5 Design Premium

    I downloaded the English version for CS5 Design Premium. The original product is (partially) in Finnish, which is no longer available. I suspect that this is perhaps why the series is not accepted, but I don't know where I could download the product of the Finnish language is. Downloads have InDesign in Finnish, for example, available for individual download, but my serial do not work on individual downloads no more.


    The platform I used when I purchased the CS5 design package is Mac os x, now I have Windows, which could be the sescond be reason why the serial number does not work. I was not able to find information on how to buy, for example, the change of os x for windows. Premium Design license was pretty expensive and I would use the program again.

    Two factors, the language and platform will have an impact or a serial number will work them.  In both cases, the resolution is not available through Adobe, because they provide no platform exchanges of older products - or they sell older products.

  • Serial number help for CS5?

    I recently got a new mac and CS5, put on my new laptop. He currently leads the same OS that my old and is that it runs very well in the trial version of CS5. However, he refuses to accept my serial number. Can someone help me? I don't want to lose out on the money I paid for it!

    Ah, that's the problem. Installation of Photoshop is dependent on the Machine. This means that you will never transfer or restore from Time Machine, you need to reinstall either from your records, or if you can't find them, here is the link to the downloadable installer. Just have the serial number ready.

  • How can I get a twain driver for CS5 for Windows 7?

    How can I get a twain driver for CS5 for Windows 7?

    Since you have photoshop cs5 in the x 86 program files, then you have the 32 and 64 bit versions of photoshop cs5 installed.

    the 64-bit version of photoshop cs5 is in

    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 bit)

    and the 32-bit version is in

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5



    If you have not changed anything in the menu programs, while two versions of photoshop cs5 should be included under Start > all programs



    Photoshop CS5 is the 32-bit version


    Photoshop CS5 (64 bit) is the 64-bit version


    You put the Twain plugin in Win32 folder from the link listed in the #1 message in the Photoshop CS5 32 bit Plug-Ins > import file

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Import-Export

    TWAIN plug-ins | Photoshop CS4, CS5, CS6

    VueScan that mentions Ronald Keller is also a good option if you do not want to be restricted to the use of the 32-bit version of photoshop cs5 to scan in photoshop.


    Scanner VueScan for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux software



    Photoshop cs5 should also be able to use WIA support for your scanner.

    It would be under the file > importantmenu t in photoshop cs5 after you have your scanner is connected and turned on

  • Installation in silent mode for CS5.5?

    I was able to get a silent installation for the DPS tools work very well for CS6 (v27), but I did find a method effective for CS5.5 (v27), set apart from the use of JAMF to perform monitoring of file system.

    The commands I tried:

    sudo /Adobe/DPS/r27/cs5.5fp/Install.app/Contents/MacOS/Install--mode = Silent

    Starting the installer...

    In silent mode.

    Successful installation.

    Leave the installer with the Code: 0

    &

    sudo /Adobe/DPS/r27/cs5.5fb/Install.app/Contents/MacOS/Install--mode = Silent

    Starting the installer...

    In silent mode.

    Successful installation.

    Leave the installer with the Code: 0

    They always communicate that they are running properly, but do not actually seem to install anything. If I remove the silent flag, the Setup program runs successfully, but with the intervention of the user, which is not desirable. If anyone has encountered a similar issue or have a good way around it?

    Even if I have already provided the private solution I post here as well in case other users are facing the same problem.

    The correct syntax for silent deployment is:

    sudo. / Install - mode = silent - DeploymentFiles = "path".

    Thus, for example:

    sudo./Install.app/Contents/MacOS/Install--mode silent =--deploymentFile=deploy/AdobeDigitalPublishing-mul.install.xml

    (here, the assumption is that the user is in the directory where is Install.app.

    The command line, you should see "successful Installation. Leave the installer with the code: 0.

  • X 6 Phenom 1055 t / GT 240 build for CS5?

    I build a PC for CS5 production as a fort/sidejob hobby video.

    Putting aside all the other standard parts of a PC, would be an AMD Phenom X 6 1055 t. (2.8 ghz) with an nVidia GT 240 1 GB Gigabyte perform well enough in Premiere Pro to help me get started?

    I thought that the GT 240 would be able to use the MPE enough to help the processor a bit and a six hearts, while AMD, would be great for editing.

    I understand that Intel is the "way forward", but I like the idea of a more affordable six-core which will be probably more extensible, especially when the Bulldozer out. It's less strong incompatibility reasons do not go with AMD for a CS5 version.

    The comments appreciated.

    If you are willing to invest in a CPU, you will be penalized heavy performance and will be easily outclassed by what whether Intel, go ahead.

    For video editing, AMD is far behind Intel, because of missing SSE extensions, which are widely used for encoding. So the short Advisor is: No.

  • My system will be sufficient for CS5?

    I searched the forums for the answer and can't find anything specific, so my apologies if I repeat an ancient question.

    I'm considering the purchase of the Master Collection soon (I am a student and want to get on the discount until I finished College) and I was looking at the specs of the system. I noticed that the NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 is not mentioned anywhere when it comes to first CS5. Also, I couldn't find much info on my sound card.


    I am running dual GTS 250 (512 MB), map its Creative X - Fi Titanium Fatality Pro, 6 GB RAM, 7200 RPM / 500GB HD, Intel Pentium 2.66Ghz processor on an ASUS P6T Deluxe Motherboard i7. The only thing that doesn't look like it has a lot of support for first CS5 is my graphics cards. My system will be able to handle the first?

    It's a hell of a lot of money for me, so if anyone has some experience with a multi-system setup similar or has information that can help me, I would very much appreciate it.
