Sorry I'm Still learning the ropes for adobe, but can you give me a crash course on the limitations with HD 4000.
And whats your setup and what do you do?
I have multiple machines:
1. MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012)
- 2.7GHz Quad Core Ivy Bridge Core i7
- 8GB PC-12800/1600MHz RAM
- 1TB Hard Drive
- NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M (with 1GB VRAM) and Intel HD 4000
- OS X 10.8.5
2. MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2011)
- 1.7GHz Dual Core ULV Sandy Bridge Core i7
- 4GB PC-10600/1333MHz RAM
- 256GB SSD
- Intel HD 3000
- OS X 10.10.1
3. MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2010)
- 2.53 Dual Core Arandale Core i5
- 8GB PC-8500/1066MHz RAM
- 500GB Hard Drive
- NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M (with 512MB VRAM) and Intel HD Graphics
- Windows 8.1 Pro
I have other PCs of similar vintage with Windows 7, but unfortunately, they are not currently set up. I work in IT, but I've been known to dabble in video projects and play games (hence the 15" MacBook Pro listed here and in my signature).
If you're editing a home video or a very simple short film and you're not using too many post-production effects or if the projects you're working on are fairly simple, you shouldn't feel the limitations of the Intel HD 4000. If you start to get REALLY into Premiere or start using After Effects, Motion or other post-production software, you'll see slower playback and probably slower render times as well. Again, if you're doing this professionally, I'd recommend a faster machine. If you're just learning the basics, it'll be fine.
