I still remember the thrill of landing my first editing job using just my smartphone. The agency was impressed, and I was hooked. After wrapping up two successful projects, I upgraded to a laptop this year, eager to take my skills to the next level. Diving headfirst into After Effects and Premiere Pro, I honed my craft. But despite my progress, the agency projects suddenly dried up. I was left wondering why. Undeterred, I continued creating, sending out trials to potential clients. The feedback was frustratingly consistent: "Your video is nice, editing skills are good, but we can't work with you due to slow delivery." The culprit? My lagging PC, struggling to keep up with After Effects' demands. Rendering times were excruciating, and deadlines loomed. Determined to overcome this hurdle, I shifted focus to Premiere Pro. Its efficiency and speed allowed me to produce quality work without the lag. Here's my latest trial video, crafted entirely with Premiere Pro: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E_NQNmMz75rZAl4jw9JraOjb_yIFJdid/view?usp=drivesdk Now, I'm seeking advice from fellow editors: Have you faced similar hardware constraints?
