Is upgrading from 16GB to 32GB RAM worth it for Premiere Pro?

Yes, especially if you work with 4K or above, multiple tracks, or effects. At 16GB, you’re fine for short 1080p timelines, but stacking 4K clips, color grading, or plugins fills it up fast, causing choppy scrubbing and slow exports. Going to 32GB gives smoother scrubbing, fewer freezes, and consistent performance — one of the smartest upgrades you can make.
