Well Well if the MPC Video Renderer is cheap and dirty, I have no idea what I'm missing out on. It sure looks amazing to me. I'm sure I'll have the time someday to figure out the good stuff, but for now MPC-VR is still the best I've ever had. Yes, Often times ignorance is bliss. I am happy with 7.2...

To leave the cmc screen, you just have to press the windows button on your pc's keyboard. you might have to go through the windows program menu, but I find that as the best method to leave cmc temporarily.

I have been thinking of getting a 3070 which seems to be the sweet spot for power usage and also have the ability to handle the latest premiere pro features. I am not a gamer as I said earlier neither do I push premiere to it's limits. I have an older version of premiere now but it would be much eas...

When I speak of the more power hungry modern cards I am talking about the Nvidia 4000 series. I am at the moment thinking of a higher end 3000 series. I haven't ruled out and I do have more experience with amd. I just hear about people constantly complaining about the amd drivers. This pc will be a ...
