What type of computer do you edit your videos on? - GoFuckYourself.com

HY2222 · 04-22-2011, 05:12 PM

According to some video editing forums, I am going to need a $2500 laptop with three separate hard drives, and even then a laptop is not recommended....

Now I don't know if these guys are professional filmmakers, or if this is actually what I'm going to need. Just curious what everyone else is doing their editing on.

From search, I can see most people use Sony Vegas.

I have a copy of Premiere Pro CS5 running on an old Core Duo Thinkpad (64-bit O/S) with one 7200 RPM hard drive and it runs fine. I'm not even taking advantage of the Mercury Playback Engine. I use it on set when I need to download video from the camera as well as make quick edits or conversions.

BV · 04-22-2011, 06:17 PM

that's all bullshit

i can capture and edit 1080 HD with my 300 dollar netbook and a usb external drive just fine

in the old days i remember capturing video with a 266 PII and maybe i had 128 mb of pc100! lol

when i say the "old days" i mean 2001ish. Proof: http://www.pornresource.com/article/420/

If they're available, get a laptop with USB 3, then use the Passport USB 3 drives for media. It's just as fast as an internal drive.

I build my own with Professional version of Windows7 and ADOBE CS5 Master Suite.

TWO Custom Video editing machines are:

GRAPHICS CARD is NVIDIA QUADRO FX 5800GT in both machines

12TB of HDD Storage in each Machines

USB 3.0 on both machines

I also have a NEW MAC that is not even close to the speed of these two PC's for HD video editing.

$2500 bucks? my GPU cost 3k alone dude LOL

v4 media · 04-23-2011, 01:42 AM

really depends how much video. If you have a second machine etc.
you can get buy with a $500 laptop if you dont mind waiting a while.

If you plan on doing hours of hd editing then you need a highend machine.

Just make sure you use firewire 800 drives as usb is just to slow to read / write.

Both of my Video Editing Machines have 12TB of internal storage each (24TB) total, so the is no need for USB or fire wire.
Both machines are using SSD drives as primary drive.

I only use USB and firewire for transferring files from my cameras to my editing machines.

The Lacie drives are for the MAC

I just ordered a 16TB Network Storage Cube so all my computers can access the content with out flash drives and all that back and forth BS

I cant wait til SSD drives are TB sizes!

that's weird until I upgrade I wasn't able to render HDV in less than 5-6 hours for a full shoot. now it's about 2x faster than real time..

not really weird, rendering is very slow, and it's nice to be able to render faster than real time, but it's not a necessity,

i was just trying make the point that it can be done on almost any machine, even a cheap ass netbook, (if you had to)

personally i use a sony vaio thats a few years old for my main editing machine, and even it does not render HD faster than real time

I am always editing, encoding HD video also editing and batching photo galleries at the same time..
Ha ha ha multi tasking like crazy. I need the machines that can do what I need and I finally built them myself. Gotta love Newegg!

Looks great and I bet it performs great. Im just a Final Cut Pro guy who is very happy working with everything FCP.

Mac may be slower than what you got, but I get all of my work done without issues.

Not saying PC's have issues, but for me to relearn all of my editing programs and photo programs would give me serious issues.

Let me toss my dick in the pile:

My main rig in my office:

1 341-5363 1TB SATA 3.0Gb/s, 7200RPM Additional NCQ HardDrive with 16MB DataBurst Cache, Dell Precision T7400/5400

For back up external drives I use ESata connected drives. WAY faster than Firewire.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5. The Cuda GPU technology of the NVidia graphics cards + the CPU power of the machine makes rendering FAST. Used to take all night. Now takes about 30 minutes.

very nice!

However the 980 extreme does NOT need any additional cooling if not over clocked. Yes it's the first actual intel i9 six core intel website specs.

All of my rendering and encoding is performed by the Nvidia Quadro FX 5800GT unlock by the new ADOBE/NVIDIA CUDA and Mercury PLAYBACK ENGINE.

I use Esata as well to my Network Storage. USB 3.0 is much faster now though. No network storages via USB 3.0 yet.

BTW: the i7 980 EXTREME is actually the very first edition of an i9 six core processor.

I used to edit HDV no problem on an old Core 2 Duo desktop with only 2 Gb of RAM using the Cineform codec for years. So one can get away with moderate specs and get the job done. But for higher performance, I just had a new video editing computer built from parts purchased on New Egg to edit XDCam EX footage with much better specs: Core i7 950 3.07 GHz, 120 Gb Solid State Internal System Drive, 16 Gb of RAM, two 6 TB G-Force eSata Raid-0 Hard Drive Arrays, Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit & Premiere Pro CS 5 Suite.

Exactly.. You are correct, but the faster the machine the faster the work gets done.

I want to shoot and NOT sit around and wait for renders. So I buy the best of the best the day it comes out with in realistic reach.

To be hoenst.. the two machines i built are so fast, I cant keep up I edit and start encoding on one machine then go to the next machine set it up and the fucker is already done.LOL I LOVE IT!

So one can get away with moderate specs and get the job done. But for higher performance, I just had a new video editing computer built from parts purchased on New Egg to edit XDCam EX footage with much better specs: Core i7 950 3.07 GHz, 120 Gb Solid State Internal System Drive, 16 Gb of RAM, two 6 TB G-Force eSata Raid-0 Hard Drive Arrays, Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit & Premiere Pro CS 5 Suite. __________________ Jim Gunn Filming Cinematic Porn Skype JimGunnProductions
