Windows 7 64 bit Set Up and Tuning for Video Editing

Note, these are my very personal preferences at this time


(November 4, 2010), your preferences may differ. This is a
document in progress. Please feed back to me any additional
information that you may find
Tuning Windows 7 64 (I have the Professional version) other versions may have
more or less features. When I start this tuning there are at least 38 or more
processes running (some have reported as high as 70) just from Windows 7 on
boot up in the Task Manager. Remember, these options below are my
personal preferences and choices.
1. Install/update graphics driver as necessary, and if you need special disk
controller drivers install them as well.
2. My next step is to double left click on Computer to open it. Then
sequentially right click on each drive and select Properties and uncheck
Allow Indexing .. for fast file searching.
3. For each of the following you use the Control Panel, after bringing up the
default Control Panel go to the upper right corner and select View
By/Small Icons for convenience in the rest of the procedure.
4. Select User Account and then Change User Account Control Settings and
move the setting to never notify. This will simplify the following steps
and can be set back later if you so desire.
5. Select Performance Information and Tools
a. Select Adjust Visual Effects and check Adjust For Best Performance
b. Select Adjust Indexing Options/Modify uncheck all
c. Select Adjust Power Settings select Create Power Plan and choose
High Performance. Also in this under Create Power Plan select
your personal preferences for the display and computer. I like my
editing system never to go to Sleep and my screen to stay on for
at least an hour.
6. Select Windows Firewall and then Turn Windows Firewall on or off. (For
me this is a video editing computer and not an email or Internet cruising
machine.) I turn it off, also Home or Work turn off and Public Network
off
7. Select Programs & Features and then Turn Features On or Off. Turn off
things like Tablet PC Components and Windows Gadget Platform. Here
is what my list looks like.

8. Before leaving Programs and Features, I turn off nVidia PhysX and 3D
(neither are necessary for Premiere Pro) by removing the drivers that
you find nVidia has installed.
9. Close the control Panel
10. Go to Computer and right click on it and select Manager and then
Services
11. Continue by turning off or modifying specific other services. I have an
initial list of 21 changes to services now.
1. Adaptive Brightness
2. BitLocker Encryption
3. Bluetooth support
4. Cryptographic Services (set this to Manual)
5. Fax
6. Homegroup Listener (These two are optional unless you have
multiple Win 7 systems that may require them)
7. Homegroup Provider
8. Microsoft iSCSI Initiator
9. Parental Controls
10. Remote Access Audio Video Experience
11. Remote Access Auto connection Manager
12. Remote Desktop Configuration
13. Remote Desktop Services
14. Remote Desktop Services User Mode Port Redirector
15. Remote Registry
16. Superfetch
17. Tablet PC Input Service
18. Windows Biometric Service
19. Windows Media Center Receiver Service
20. Windows Media Center Scheduler Service
21. Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service
One last step that I do is go to a cmd prompt and turn off Hibernation. With
the prompt up type in powercfg h off of course with out the quote
marks. This will free up (after next reboot) disk space on your OS boot disk
equal to the size of your RAM.


Tune Adobe
I just installed these programs and noticed the same problem.

Try this..

Under preferences turn off everything under dobe Partner Services.." as well as everything under "Media Analysis".



GPU Acceleration for AMD cards is enabled through the AMD Encoder plug-in for Adobe premiere
pro. (ATI Stream Encoder Plug-in)
