Sorry for the off topic question, but this is my most trusted place for tech knowledge. Appreciate any tips and advice (for a friend).
My friend is looking to buy or build a pc to do 4k video editing. I know the obvious part.. If you can afford more memory, add more memory. After that, I'm lost. intel vs amd? For video, amd or nvidia or something else? Is there a synergy between choice of motherboard/cpu make/video choice? As for hard drive setup, i'm thinking a 500g ssd boot device and a single 7200rpm 3tb or greater drive (drive space is CHEAP!) I also don't know how important drive throughput is for vid processing. I know it matters, but how fast is fast enough? Does it pay to set up a striped set of 3 or 5 drives? Or a hybrid drive? Is it acceptable to do the processing on a non 4k monitor? Unfortunately, cost IS a factor. I know it boils down to how much cash one wants to throw at it, but i'm looking for best bang for the buck, 1500 or less. (things could be bumped up later by adding mem, better monitor to view output. Oh, also, this will not be online editing (Which I assume to mean "live") and will be video from a gopro so the bitrate won't be as intensive as say a RED quality camera. Thanks for any and all suggestions, and helping me provide better recommendations to my friend. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
