• What is the best laptop for video editing that task my money?

  Hello

  I have Lenovo laptop, I used it for 5 years, until now, I see that it is not good enough to make the work of video editing. So now I think to buy a new laptop for this case, but I am not confident about my knowledge on the area of the laptop. Everyone here knows or has a good knowledge on laptop, please give me a serious opinion, thank you.

  Hi jespong,

  Thanks for posting.

  The first starting point would be to look at the minimum specifications required by the video editing program, and then start looking for laptops with these specifications.  Then look for those that have the best specifications requested by the program and settle for something in between.

  According to your budget, it would be better to buy something that has more than request the program you always want to have the best.

  Kind regards

• Need recommendation for laptop - for video editing

  I'm trying to looking for a new laptop and need recommendations based on how I use the laptop.  I produce videos and mainly use the following programs: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Encore DVD.  I also use other software such as AutoFX PGE7.0 of photo editing.

  I currently have a HP Pavilion which is about 5 years old.  This office has the following specifications:

  HP Pavilion PU131AV / a1050y, Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20 GHz, 2 GB RAM, Windows XP MCE, SP3 32-bit, Nvidia GeForce 6600

  I believe that with a new laptop, I was able to create my videos more efficiently.  If you have any input as to what I need in a laptop for my specific purpose, please let me know.

  Thank you very much

  Angela

  old computer: HP Pavilion PU131AV / a1050y, Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20 GHz, 2 GB RAM, Windows XP MCE, SP3 32-bit, Nvidia GeForce 6600
  new computer: HPE-180 t, Windows 7 Pro (64 bit), Nvidia GeForce GT 220, Intel Core i7 - 930 quad-core CPU @ 2.80 GHz, 8 GB of RAM

  For what you are doing you need all the horsepower you can gather. You have not specified a budget and with what you're trying to do, I don't think that it would be useful to think of anything less than a thousand dollars. You need at least 4 GB of memory and preferably 8. You need a 64 bit version of Windows 7. You need a quad core or i7 processor. Regarding the size of the screen, it's a matter of personal choice, but I don't see how you can get in with less than a 15-inch screen. In respect to the HP products you can consider the urge again, but the problem is the lack of an internal optical drive (CD/DVD type).

  HP is running a special offer on the dv6t Quad model with an i7 processor, $ 999 with a free upgrade to 4 GB of RAM and a concert full of video memory. While your P4 3.2 was the killer at a time where it was released, the dv6t Quad run rings around her, particularly in Photoshop. Make sure that you use a recent version of Photoshop with 64-bit and support multi-core. Also be sure to get the 7200 RPM hard drive, because it makes a big difference in video editing.

  Good luck and enjoy.

• Best laptop for editing in Photoshop

  Best laptop for Photoshop editing? 2015

  If you want to stay with CS6 avoid a laptop with a high resolution screen.  Photoshop UI will be weak and unusable.  Save your money get a laptop with an LCD display with a resolution around 100 PPI.

  Surface Pro 4 is not announced yet rumor is there will be two sizes, 12 "and 14" both will had poster with 2160 x 1440 pixels as the Surface pro 3. Screen 14 '' PPI will then be 140, which should be good for CS6. Windows 10 I hear will be also shipped on the Surface 4 so far the Word Pro is Windows 10 will be better than windows 8 and free for Windows 7 and 8 users.

• What are the best setting of calibration screen for video editing, if you are shooting indoors, without natural light?

  What are the best setting of calibration screen for video editing, if you are shooting indoors, without natural light?

  Not really related to Prem Pro, however:

  Neutral gray scale to set the brightness (white saturation) and contrast (black crush).

  Conveniently located:

  Gamma: 2.2

  White point: 6500K (5800K with ambient lighting)

  Brightness: 100-120 (cd/m)

  Use a calibration device like SpyderElite (above applies). Grade with a neutral gray background low light level - easier on the eyes.

• Portable light for video editing?

  Hello

  I'm going on a long trip to Asia where I'll do a video on the go a lot. I'm open to Mac or PC, with a preference for PC. Can anyone advise me on the best weight for the compromise of performance?

  I thought I'd go for a Dell XPS 13 with this configuration:

  • 3rd generation Intel® Core™ i7-3537U processor (4 M Cache, up to 3.1 GHz)
  • Windows 8, 64-bit, English
  • 13.3 "FHD 1080 p
  • 8GB<sup>1</sup> DDR3 Memory SDRAM at 1600 MHz
  • 256GB Solid State Drive
  • Intel HD 4000
  • 2.99 lbs

  I'm a bit wary of the Intel HD 4000. The rest looks pretty good to me, what do you think?

  I don't need first-class performance, but I don't want to fall asleep on my Pad Thai in waiting for the rendering of base effects.

  Thank you very much

  1. A laptop is always a compromise and can not outstanding performance.
  2. Only 8 GB of memory is a serious drawback, 16 GB would be much better.
  3. Only a single SSD is not enough. You need at least one other 7200 RPM (e) SATA disk or drive USB3 for media.
  4. You need a power outlet to power the additional disk and one for the laptop, because the battery is not the last long enough under the heavy.
  5. The Intel HD 4000 card STINKS for video editing, especially compared to 1 + GB VRAM and nVidia with CUDA.
  6. The i7-3537u is only a dual core 2.0 GHz.

  The best you can expect is a system that is part of the bottom 5%, at least 30-50 x slower than a fast system. Be aware that when a fast system needs an hour to export a timeline, this laptop will need three or four days for the same work. Another reason, that you need from this socket. See reference PPBM5

• 2016 budget PC for video editing and animation

  I am building PC mainly for video editing and animation (suit Adobe, Maya, etc.).

  I7 6700 k, z170 pro gaming, 16 GB of RAM Gskill, evo Samsung 256 gb SSD, 2 TB WD Blue, Dell u2515h.

  I'm really confused, choose the budget videocard, CPU cooler and wardrobe.

  Budget: Around $ 1500 (Indian Rs 100000.) Intend to buy this month.

  Note: With good performance, I want dead silent.

  Thanks in advance.

  I have not read any problem of heating with the gtx 1060, only with the reference cooler on the rx 480. the series gtx 1000 added support for 4 k hdr and wcg, if you don't need those then the older gtx cards are always great to use. the 1060 gtx may be 40-50% faster than the gtx 960 and both are rated 120 watts. If your creative work who need a lot of power gpu, the gtx 1060 with a mid to low workload has a better chance to keep fans and be completely silent. I don't know if the model bill recommends is able to turn off the fan, but with a design unique its radiator fan will not be able to run passive as a biggest fan of double or triple design card. If you are more concerned with budget and plan on only using a few gpu accelerated fx and only HD projects, the gtx 750 ti 2 GB or 950 models 2 GB may be powerful enough for your needs. you would have to see what are the prices where you shop, here all the series 900 gtx cards cost too close to the gtx 1060. I don't know when will be released the gtx 1050, but it can help to lower prices on 900 gtx cards. the gtx 1050 can be around or just below the gtx 960 for the performance.

  the corsair website says the 100R will support 150mm height max cpu cooler, so it should be 90 to 120mm air coolers. you will need to check the dimensions of the cpu cooler you are looking for, to make sure it fits. It would also be good to search online if others use the casing and cooler together. cryorig h7 seems to be 145 mm in height, then he could adapt. I don't know the price for coolers here, so you will need to see those that fit your budget and look at reviews for cooling and noise levels to find the best. If you went with a larger case, it would be able to hold a 140mm cooler air and be quieter. coolers liquid AIO got better when they first came out and last usually a few years before the pump breaks down, or he flees. If an air cooler does not, he would need a new fan and would not risk damaging any material. If the case was too thin to allow a good air cooler, then the liquid would be appropriate, but I would choose replace the case first. the corsair 100r site says it will hold only a 120mm cooler liquid. It should be a 240mm or more large cooler liquid for a chance to be quieter than a good air cooler.

• Mac Pro: more RAM or better video card for video editing?

  I'm going to buy a new Mac Pro for video editing in first Pro CC, but can't decide if I should ad more cores, more RAM or a better graphics card.

  Intend to change the RED 4 K files.

  Hello

  I'm certinaly not an engineer who can comment on how applications are written and how can hearts of processor they can write effectly, but there has been a lot of comments to the Mac Pro (new), and to answer your question, based on what I read, there were comments that the 8 basic model is good for video editing - not too , nor too little.

  Being an editor, I'd always put my money to get the best graphics cards and the largest amount of RAM that you can afford.  For work, we've been specing on new models and it was the 'formula' we follow.  With the exception of the RAM, sounds like once you buy, your clerks to the material with the new machines.

  I found the review below to be a great resource that can help answer your question.

  Hope that helps and good luck with your purchase.

• IMac with Fusion Hard Drive - HD Setup for video editing

  Hello

  I just ordered a new iMac with the following specifications just for video editing:

  iMac 27 "Quad - Core Intel Core i7 3.5 GHz

  8 GB RAM

  3 disc Fusion to - [I] I got this configuration with the merger of 3 TB for much due to the fact that it was a mixed open-box, otherwise I would of went with an SSD. [/ I]

  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780MX with 4 GB of GDDR5

  My question is: what is the best way for me to set up my hard drives (Cache OS, programs, file, media, media, projects, previews, exports, etc.) for editing with this iMac and hard drives that I own?

  I currently use a combination of a HD Lacie Raid - 0 6 TB and 1.5 TB OWC FW - 800 Raid-0 for video editing on my MBP that has a 750 GB HD SSD and oem.

  iMac installation:

  3 to Fusion: operating system, programs, parallel

  6 TB Lacie Raid: video/media storage disk

  1 TB OWC USB 3 external:

  Several OWB FW - 800 external references:

  I might consider to get a 1 to Lacie thunderbolt HD, though it will have a significant advantage.

  I'm intent on obtaining a raid of the Rainbow-8050 somewhere down the line, but that is out of my budget right now.

  In addition, I already know the standard of the guidelines for the use of the disc which is in the link below, but since the iMac cannot be configured with multiple HDs, I'm looking for suggestions of knowledge of people with this type of installation.

  Thank you

  I'm already a user of Areca (32 terabytes on Raid6). As you have a capable TB2 iMac that I would wait for the next version of the Areca 5080 TB2.

  I suggest you a configuration of data 3 step; for example the project files on an external drive and Fusion cache on external SSD and based on external Raid 0 and as the third step one backup (BR, external drives, LTO, basically everything what is available or practical).

• Need a laptop for video and have no direction... Please help!

  Hello

  My name is Bryan Troxell and I just started the film school this week. After attending my first edition courses, I learned that we would use Adobe Premiere Pro as our choice editing program. This opened my options for the purchase of a laptop computer that I had previously reduced my research based Apple laptops. Now I have the dilemma of trying to find a portable workstation for video editing that will last me up to the school and beyond. I am open to the windows and apple devices and I have a price range for about $2,000, including taxes. I live in Washington if really my purchase to be around 1800 or lower for me to stay within my budget. The reason for which I need a laptop as opposed to a desktop computer is the neccessity for mobility and the ability to change so that at school (which has surpassed the imac models) and at home. I'm looking for maximum mobility and a strong autonomy. I hope so for a class of 15 inches at least 5 hours of autonomy. If this is not feasible in my range of price, then as close to him as possible. I guess that I am asking for help because I have not sought a computer in almost 3 years now and have no idea what I'll need more than a processor quad core, minimum of 8 GB of ram and a 1080 p screen. I hope that savvy here spirits can point me in the right direction.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Bryan Troxell

  A lot depends on what Quad Core you have ie model of architecture. A Quad Core 2 not manage much at all while the Ivy Bridge or especially a Haswell Quad Mobile will manage as much as a Gen 1 I7 workstation.

• How's this for a specification of PC for video editing at home?

  OK - we decided to get the new PC now, focused around the decent performance for editing video at home when we do.   Any comments on the bottom would be greatly appreciated.  I tried to put in my 'principles', but as you note, I've highlighted a few issues around these.

  
  

  Principles
  
  
  * Computer decent for video editing - so when we do he want it to be reasonable from a performance point of view (don't no annoying).  Also want insurance for the video data that a single HARD drive crash does not mean data loss.
  
  
  * Hard Drive Configuration - take RAID 1 for data
  • C: 500 GB - OS (1 x 500 GB)
  • D: 500 GB - Swap area for o/s (1 x 500 GB)
  • E: RAID 1 redundancy for data (2 x 1 TB)
  * 64 - bit Windows 7 Pro
  
  
  * Questions about the principles
  1. Is it really useful to have a separate drive (drive D :) for Swap?
  2. Y at - it no real need to have a drive F: (another) for exports?  It's non-real time so it shouldn't be a question need?
  3. No improvement major re tell the SSD C:? (or not worth the sum of $)
  4. SATA II and SATA III readers? (I assumed that both are ok when picking)
  
  
  The Spec
  
  
  • CPU - Intel Core i7 960 processor 3.2 GHz, 8 MB Cache CPU LGA1366
  • Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R X 58 + ICH10R QPI 6.4 Gbit / s DDR3 2000 PCI - Ex16 SATAII SATA3 USB3.0 RAID GLAN ATX
    
  • RAM - Kingston 12GB 1333 MHz(PC3-10600) KIT (3X4G)
    
  • Video card - NVIDIA GTX560 - OC of Gigabyte GTX560 1 G GDDR5 PCIE DualLink DVI [? corresponds to the motherboard / is - this an exaggeration?]
  • RAID card - Adaptec AAR1220SA-SGL SATAII RAID0 1 JBOD/2 PORT/low profile/PCIEx1/OEM/No cables [? is this ok - looks cheap?]
  • Drive (no RAID) - 2 x 500 G Western Digital RE4 SATAII 7200 RPM disk HARD Enterprise 64 MB [? only SATAII is ok not?]
    
  • Case - CoolerMaster RC-942-KKN1 HAF X 942 black No. PSU [? this is an exaggeration - someone just took recommendation here?]
  • Power supply - Corsair HX-850 ATX Power Supply w 140mm modular cables [? power ok?]  Yet once just took a recommendation?]
    
  • O/s - 64 bit - Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit OEM (Microsoft OEM terms & conditions apply)
  
  
  Note - I'm looking at the local site following re where the source if this helps: http://www.umart.com.au
  
  
  

  
  

  Jeff,

  Thanks for that!

  Greg,

  Continues on and still pretty clueless on the elements...

  -video card - I don't think that the elements has the Mercury Playback Engine (MPE) available (someone please confirm here), so a way less compatible video card may suffice; I didn't suggest that

  -J' forgot to mention before, cooler provided Intel dump and go with at least a Cooler Master 212 model; It is best to keep your CPU cool, and if ever you want to dabble in Overclocking of your i7-950 (harm has a very good guide for beginners of Overclocking on this forum) a 3rd party cooler will be essential

  -2 WD 2 to 64 MB black should be good for a RAID1 data reader

  Or...

  First Pro CS5 update, go with the MSI GTX 460 Hawk (overclock to 850 MHz) and the massive profits of EMT! Maybe someone here can comment that used before elements with needs similar workflow that he might stand to gain?
