I have run os x on a pc before. while it was okay for the most part, you do miss out on a lot of features such as thunderbolt 3 ports/ airdrop/ imessage/ facetime. I can't even get quick sync to work with fcpx.
 
it is not worth it at all. however 5k imac is a very good option and the new intel with coffee lake is coming out soon ( which i highly recommend you wait for that). 5k imac/15' mbp is more than enough for you, it will be able to edit 4k videos without a problem.
 
I love fcpx and i cannot see myself moving to adobe premier because i have a business to run and i need to edit a video every single day.

Thanks guys! I wasn't aware hackintosh's were a no no lol. I may just have to wait for the new modular mac pros that i keep hearing about.

Hey guys! 
 
I am a freelance videographer that does mostly wedding videos and some simple corporate promotional videos. I use FCPX for my editing and I really like using it. I know there are better editing programs out there like premiere and avid. I really don't have the time at the moment to try and learn a new editing platform. For what I do, FCPX works great.
 
Any ways, to my main point. I use a 2016 mac book pro that doesn't have dedicated GPU. I am starting to really feel the lack of processing power that I need for some projects I'm doing with higher resolution video.  I recently had to make a video for a friend that filmed a show choir event for his kid and it was over two hours long at 1080p/23.98 FPS. My rendering took over 4 hours and the transcoding was over 8 hours to complete! This was just brutal, especially since I have other projects I'm working. 
 
I want to build a better rig of my own that still allows me to use FCPX. Something like a hackintosh or even a windows system with the ability to run Macintosh in a virtual window or something. Would love a dual OS system though. So, in the future I can move to a better editing software. Would rather spend something that allows me to expand and upgrade rather dropping over 5 grand on a iMac pro. Is there prebuilt systems out there that are designed for this or should I just spec out my own gear and build the entire thing myself? I just wasn't sure if there were companies out there that can do a custom pc that is designed to run apple and windows for people like me who use certain apple programs and use windows. 
 
Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated! Would love to hear from anyone that has a system like this already and what they use!
 
Thanks,
Phil

The first video addresses that, no?

With the popularity of Google's push for "Machine Learning" I think a good "Fast as Possible"  could be explaining the basics of machine learning specifically what Google is trying to do.

As a fellow A/V Technician, I would love to see some of this tech, but these are really far out of the scope for what LTT is known for. 
Plus I'm not sure a commercial AV company would sponsor LTT since they are in a different market than what companies like Creston or Polycom are looking for.

This falls under things that are far out of scope as normal projects. Maybe if some company would sponsor them. Like discussed recently in here:
And seen from their WAN Show Audio update videos... They need outside expert to even get grasp of the subject. So unless its sponsored or they really have professional need for it, not likely to happen. I mean, how would you like when someone who hasn't got a clue how those systems work are assembled tries to do it? It wouldn't give you anything new, more like headache from constant facepalming.
