Procyon^® Video Editing Benchmark

Benchmark PC performance with Adobe^® Premiere^® Pro

Procyon benchmarks use real applications to test performance whenever possible. The Procyon Video Editing Benchmark uses Adobe Premiere Pro in a typical video editing workflow.

Exporting video files from Premiere Pro is dead time to a creator. Even short videos can take several minutes to export. Longer sequences with layers, color grading and complex effects may take an hour or longer. A faster creator PC takes less time to export video files, giving more time back to the creator.

The benchmark starts by importing two video project files. The project timelines include various edits, adjustments and effects. The second project uses several GPU-accelerated effects. Each video project is exported in Full HD encoded with H.264 and again in 4K UHD encoded with HEVC (H.265). The benchmark score is based on the time taken to export all four videos.
