computer video editing system

[gloshglosh]

Hey, whats more improtant for editing hd video. A good graphics card or a fast CPU. I have a basic ati card and a dual core x8.5 ghz pentium processor. im kinda on a tight budget but just wanna figure out weather my money would be better spent on a new CPU or a Graphics card.

[richieblac]

@gloshglosh Get your CPU, RAM, and hard drives up to speed first, with a semi-decent video card. Technically the video card is "more important" but it will be useless to you if everything else is holding it back.

[tybreezy1997]

how did you set it so you can view the video on the extra tv/monitor

[medeamajic]

@tybreezy1997

I use and ADS Pyro DV converter. An Intensity Pro or an Intensity Shuttle might be better. 

[TylertheGeek28]

Nice setup

[medeamajic]

@TylertheGeek28

I can sell you the PC if you want it. 

[TheFantomMan]

@medeamajic how much would u sell it for

[medeamajic]

@TheFantomMan

I can sell it for $260.00 with out the Windows 7 OS. For $350.00 I can include the Windows 7 OS. The sytem is a Quad Core with dual monitor support. It would be better than a $350.00 Dell or HP.

@medeamajic i know pc desktops are capable of holding a lot more memory that is crucial for video editing but are there any pc laptops that can do the job great?

[daviddsiuser]

better video editing setup.

macbook pro and hdtv. done

[medeamajic]

@daviddsiuser

That is my old system. Check out my AdobePC channel.

[PoliticalHell]

@daviddsiuser MBP doesn't cut it. I have the highest-end 2010 version with the i7, and it can't edit really well - it lags too much when doing more than a single video track. Not sure how much better the 2011 models are, but for editing, I wouldn't use a notebook in any case.

[daviddsiuser]

@PoliticalHell uh if you used the new ones, youd be like DAMN

[RedofYellow]

@daviddsiuser Lol thats what I have but I have a slow macbook pro.

[girlsdrinkfeck]

@daviddsiuser macbooks = overpriced toys

[daviddsiuser]

@girlsdrinkfeck ya im looking into a lenovo ideapad that has same processor as the macbook pro 13 inch but with the graphics of the 15 inch macbook pro :) i love macs forever though

[adobePC]

@MrKadok12

I will send you some pics soon.

[adobePC]

@MrKadok12

I can send you a few pics by email. Just send me a PM.

[adobePC]

@MrKadok12

It would be fully functional. It would be the computer you see in the video.

[medeamajic]

@MrKadok12

I could sell it to you for $400.00. That price would not include shipping. Shipping shouldn't be to much.

[medeamajic]

@MrKadok12

I built it myself but I can sell it to you if you are interested.

[NCFilms1]

Can you please help me?

im trying to get a computer that will edit HD video without lagging

and fast rendering time.

i was looking at the imac with:

-3.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

-Frontside bus 1066MHz

-Memory 4GB- DDR3 SDRAm

-NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM

is this good?

[adobePC]

@NCFilms1

That iMac has very low specs. Why are you getting an Apple laptop? What software are you going to be using?

[NCFilms1]

@adobePC

im going to be using sony vegas

but i found the computer with this

AMD Athlon™ II 630 Quad-Core Processor

2.80GHz

AMD 760G Chipset

2MB L2 cache

4000MHz system bus

6GB PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM memory (3 x 2GB) (expandable to 16GB)

[adobePC]

@NCFilms1

It should work OK.

[BigdogWitBigdog]

@NCFilms1 All you really need is good GPU, something along the lines of the HD 4200+ series would do fine. CPU should be at least dual core, 2.5-3.0GHz is fine. And a minimum of 4GB's of RAM.

[chewonnwong]

I don't care what you guys have. You may have the whole studio full with equipment but I don't care and it does not bother me. I have my system and I am happy with mine even-though mine is a crap system. 

[chewonnwong]

I don't care what you guys have. You may have the whole studio full with equipment but I don't care and it does not bother me. have my system and I am happy with mine!

[medeamajic]

@chewonnwong

Then use your system dude! What is the problem?

[chewonnwong]

@medeamajic I was mad with other bragging their superior system. It has nothing with you. You are over reacting my dude!

[rrgert4]

@medeamajic

gotta hate those

[MattyGTV]

Sorry but this is terrible. The video looks low quality and the filters and effects are way too cheesy even for a home movie. I use a Macbook Pro and I've edited a feature film in iMovie that looked 10 times better than this. I'm not trying to be mean but this is really bad.

[medeamajic]

@MattyGTV

I am showing of the realtime performance not my video editing skills. Comprende me amigo.

[ElectrifyingCinema]

your specs are really good for only $600!!!!

[medeamajic]

@ElectrifyingCinema

Thanks

[ThePhoneUpdate]

I just use what you'd call a "Regular" desktop PC for my editing, as it is all done in standard definition, I have 2 monitors, but because my PC is a "Small-form factor" one, my graphics card needed to be made smaller, and i lost all but 1 DVI & 1 S-VIDEO port. Oh well :)

[BaukeHaagsma]

Lol my Macbook pro is better than u whole setup :P

1thing u should look at for an upgrade is an 16:9/HD monitor :)

[medeamajic]

@BaukeHaagsma

I have a whole new system with dual 24" monitors.

[Shineboie]

my laptop alone is way more powerful. lol not trying to brag but... cool video tho

[tekarane]

yes super man you work big tv company i tink

[kono993]

hey i need some help i need to build a pc that can handle avchd video without having all the slownes and crashing you no what i mean

i want to spend around $600

can you kinda point me in the right direction?

[medeamajic]

@kono993

I should have a video like that in about 2 weeks on my other channel (AdobePC).

[adobePC]

You folks should check out my other channel which is adobePC. I have more videos that you might like. Just click my name.

[CoDMultimediaNetwork]

so ive been looking for a cpu that has at least 2gb or more of ram and thats great for video editing what would you recommend for me... i plan on using programs like sony vegas and adobe affter effects i have around $600 to spend on a cpu, what would you recomend

[medeamajic]

@CoDMultimediaNetwork

I will be doing a video to answer some of these questions in about 6-7 days on my other channel (AdobePC).

[AEvideos100]

how do u put the ADS Pyro AV DV converter to the t.v so u get a preview on the t.v??

[AEvideos100]

could u post a tut on how u got the video just on the t.v and the editing on the monitor? really wanna know

[TonyCasella]

I should mention the camcorder I own is a Kodak Zi8, it connects via USB port. I havent yet had the need to connect a DV converter to get video on my PC as of yet.

I would like to thank you for sharing what you did, I learned quite a bit.

[TonyCasella]

Interesting video, I have a couple questions about your setup. What is the configuration of your DV converter, NTSC monitor and computer monitor? Im new to video editing and would like to understand the value your trying to share based on the video you made.

I understand the value of having a larger screen to view your project on however; I dont quite understand why you cant just connect a regular high-def TV to open output on your video card to view your work.

[junkerde]

you sound like adobepc

[lvlik9]

how do you get the main picture into another screen like that..

[medeamajic]

I use a $129.99 ADS Pyro AV DV converter to out put to the NTSC monitor.

[bytchbeater]

Dude, Where do you get your computer parts from?  I need to upgrade my hardware; I can't even play hd videos in premiere without it getting like really choppy.

[Smoogle]

What do you recommend as a good PC for video editing that is affordable and not mind boggling expensive like the Mac Pro 8 core, any suggestions on parts or Desktops?

[adobePC]

I wanted to add the Premiere Pro Previews will look jerky when editing native DV on the VGA monitor.

Edius can pause on odd or even fields.

Premiere can post any frame of the clip to represent the clip in the browser bin.

I made a verbal few mistakes here and there, sorry.
