    I have a desktop computer with an i5-4590, a GTX 1060 6GB, and 12GB of ram. All the parts are relatively old but it edits wonderfully. You definitely don't need the newest shiniest computer parts for editing.
    My CPU has 4 cores and was released in 2013, and my RAM runs at 1600MHz when the current standard is nearly double that now. I have a 500GB SSD and a 1TB HDD, and most of the time I edit footage from the 1TB without issues.

    I've been involved in computers since 1965. Operated an IBM 7070 and 7090, also the IBM 1400 series of cpu's and printers. My last purchase of a computer was a Toshiba Satellite, C855 SERIES WITH about 640 gb hdd, 64 bit hd graphics, 4gb ram. Am video editing 1 hour videos and I can take a vacation during the time it takes me to upload to youtube or to convert from mini-cam to mpr. HOURS! I SAY ALL THIS TO, NR. thank you for the best video tutorial on how to shop for my new video-editing machine, which I probable wont be able to afford if I can find one with the specs you just so beautifully presented.

    @landonp629 5 років тому +16

    I found this to be more directed toward laptops... My suggestion is that you go with, at minimum, an 8-core 16-thread CPU like Ryzen 2700x or I9 9900K, and go with either a Vega 64 or RTX 2080, both of which have 8GB of VRAM. For RAM, 32GB seems to be the sweet spot - but at least 64GB if you plan to use heavy After Effects. Sure, you could buy less and get by okay, but you're going to have to deal with proxies on some formats and such --- and the cost difference really isn't that massive.
    Also, you don't really get to choose rather you want DDR4 or DDR3 ram - your processor selection will determine that; all modern processors like i7s and Ryzens use DDR4 only.

      @Aug 18 any gaming PC or Laptop with the mentioned specs at a minimum is perfect. If it has more, great! You can also buy workstation Laptops or PCs with said specs but they are way more expensive due to more professional type CPU, RAM and GPU. They are not needed for any home made videos.

    Nice👍. One thing that I found makes a huge difference is the software. With FCP X you can do a lot with mimimum specs, Edius is also relatively easy on processing particularly because it a smart buffer that looks ahead in the timeline and uses available resources to calculate more complex parts of the timeline before it gets there. Premiere is average and Resolve needs really heavy equipment. Do you agree?

      It should be fine if you generate optimised media,
      I use a intel core i7 3520m myself and it can be difficult to edit if I don't generate optimised media when working with 4k 30fps or 2.7k 60 fps files. Considering you have a decent dedicated GPU you probably are going to be fine, 16gb of ram is enough for entry level video editing but you might want to upgrade to an SSD if you notice insane loading times or choppy playback with optimised files. I would not get an external SSD but instead replace the internal HDD or ad an M.2 SSD to your System.
      Hope this was Helpful and good luck with editing in resolve (since it is free you can just try it out yourself)
