Hey, I'm LF a program that would let me trim a video (cut the last few minutes for example) and save it without any rendering, post processing or anything, just simply cut. Everything I know of is a legit editing program and has to re-render the whole thing which takes long. Thanks in advance!

Lately, I've been interested in building my own server and have been looking into the things I could use it for. One use that caught my eye was using it as a render server for your 3D and video editing. So yes, this is a noobs question but when I'm doing all my work on my main desktop, how do I get a separate server machine to do all the rendering work for it? Thanks.

I was about to buy a new 6k editing workstation (this is my first option Parts List ) but I saw the impact of rendering using hardware encoding on Premiere and Media Encoder using NVIDIA GPUs. I saw that if your gpu is faster you will get faster results so now idk if you spend that much money on a Ryzen Threadripper 3960x, change it for a Ryzen 3900x and put more money on the GPU and RAM, I know I'm a little bit down on RAM. I'm gonna be recording on BMPCC 6k raw. What do you guys think about the new hardware encoding? And what advice can you give me on building the 6k editing workstation? My budget is 3000 USD Thank you guys, this community rocks

I'm planning to build my first desktop pc. I also want to start a youtube channel with tech related videos on my own language ( it's a market gap in my country). I'm planning the pc that can handle basic 1080p gaming and also video editing. I'm not gonna edit in 4K, so I don't need anything fancy, I just don't want 2 hours of rendering. Finally my basic question is, that will an AMD Ryzen R3 1100 with 4 cores and 3.5 GHz clock speed gonna be ok for video editing? Do you recommend buying an intel? Should I also mind the graphics card more, if I'm planning to buy a GTX 1050TI? I know that Ryzen 3 will be released in Q3, but I can wait. Don't forget to mention your thoughts on AMD Ryzen.

Help me with what my render settings should be for upload to YouTube. Want to upload 1080p 60fps gameplay footage to YouTube , i have Premiere , what should be my export settings ?

Hey guys, I'm super new here, and I got a question. I have acces to a PC and a Laptop, and I want to know, which es better for video editing, and rendering. I'm looking to start my own Youtube gaming channel. PC: i5 4670 3.40Ghz 8 gb DDR3 1333MHz GTX 650 Ti Boost 2gb Laptop (MSI GE62 Apache Pro) : i7-6700HQ 2.6GHz 12GB RAM DDR4 GTX 970M 3GB Thanks for the responses

I was working on a project in where I stumbled across one problem to create lighting flare lines on lines. I.e. somewhat of blend the line. Images of light flare lines. I might have to render them in lighting options, but don't know how to create such lights. (Couldn't upload from phone so just google the term)

Simple question, if my video is taken in 1080 is there any quality benifit in rendering it up to 4k in premiere or is it just a waste of time and space?

I work for 8 years with 3d rendering and advertising, and for personal reasons I'm going to work from home now. I'm going to set up a home office, and I've seen the need to have a NAS and a render farm, but I don't have much space. My question is: do I mount two systems in a single case (Enthoo mini XL DS), or do I mount two systems using a stronger processor and virtualization using Unraid?

Hello, It's been a while since I've been on these forums. However Since I'll be taking College courses with Networking in mind. I've decided purchase a lot of used server parts on Ebay and put them together. I've made a unfinished video as I'm still waiting on One key component for the build, which is heat sinks that Fit on the Cpu's without touching the Solid State Capacitors. So here are the Parts that are going to be used in the Server. 2x Intel Xeon Quad core x5355 @2.66Ghtz 32GB ECC Buffered Ram (Samsung 8x4GB) SuperMicro X7DBR-8+ Rev 1.21 Motherboard 560W PSU SuperMicro PWS-563-1H 64GB SSD for Os install 1TB HDD for File Storage Network: Both Main Computer Rig and this Server Build will be using Cat6 Cables and on 1Gbit Switch for Fast storage. Usage: The Server will be used for File Serving for the family, Rendering for my Heavy After Effects use (Sony Vegas as well), and General Media (Songs, Movies, TV Shows) So my family can watch movies without needing their dvd player. (Especially for HD Movies) Note: I also own a 3D Printer to make most of my accessories, Mounts, and other things. Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie1F8a1B2QU (Unlisted however View-able) Hope that everything does go well, and I hope to see what you guys might think.

Hi Everyone! So I do 3D work, recently the business got going, so I need to upgrade from my personal rig, because the output is not fast enough. I do CUDA rendering. Current build is: Motherboard: Asrock B85M Pro3 - a budget 1150 board CPU: Core i5-4460 Haswell Refresh running at 3.2 GHz, turbo to 3.4 GHz - nothing fancy here GPU: Gigabyte G1 Gaming GeForce GTX 1080 RAM: 4x4 GB of DDR3 HyperX Fury 1600MHz PSU: Corsair CX 600 BUILDER Series Case: NZXT H440 - a fairly large case, however it is low noise, not airflow optimized with 3x120mm front fans and 1x140mm exhaust at the back. CPU cooler: be quiet! Shadow Rock Slim Everything runs on air cooling. Plans and goals for workstation build: So I have 3-4 GPUs planned, starting with my already existing 1080, and buying a 1080 TI as soon as it's available. Later upgrade everything to 1080 TI. With that said, I need a processor capable of handling 3-4 (more likely 4) GPUs, as far as I know I have 2 options, to go with Broadwell-E 6850K and up, or get a Xeon, although I'm not familiar with the Xeon family at all. I need some advice about this. CPU heavy work is some video editing, and encoding, but video work is rare, so it's not a first priority. Also, the occasional gaming at 4K, but this isn't so important either. If it can be avoided, I wouldn't dish out a shit ton of money for a 6900K. I waited for Ryzen patiently, but they don't have enough PCI-E lanes for the GPUs. Sad. The other thing is cooling. I am really unsure what to do there. I probably need a new case which is airflow optimised. I plan to overclock the GPUs, not by much, but even 5% performance per GPU is a huge bonus when you have 3-4. What I managed to gather from various soruces, is that putting 3-4 GPUs together with the regular cooling fans of the manufacturers are bad because the cards blow hot air on each other, so a blower style cooler works better here. Other option is to buy whichever card is cheap but performs good, and build a custom loop, which I have never did before, so I am a bit scared. Not to mention it would increase the costs. I think the most flexible option would be to buy cheaper blower style cards, which later can be fitted with waterblocks? Miscellenious info: Also, some general tips on other components would be welcome, and about what can be recycled from my current build. PSU capacity tips are welcome as well, I guess I need 1200W+ PC would often run 10-16 hours a day.

Hello. My name is André, from Portugal, in Europe. Currency is in euros I am an architect u work in 3D models and Rendering processes. As well adobe photoshop, InDesign, ilustrador and Autocad. I use Rhinoceros 3D, vray, SketchUp and gpu Rendering softwares, like thea render, octane. Probably i will move to 3d studio and some Rendering plugin, like cpu and gpu software system. Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and other similar that work under openGL, viewports. I need to build a powerfull machine that handle heavy 24/7 workflow. As well as multitasking softwares. This machine is just for job work and to work with 2 Dell external monitors that i have in Office. I personaly will like to experience a small form case, like mini itx. Corsair obsidiana 250D (or similar dimensions). Mostly i need a super fresh case because of Rendering processes. I have about 1500 to 2000 euros to spend. I would Love to find performance to price satisfaction. But mostly and more important, to find a stable machine. OS would be windows 7. but as Microsoft reported the near end support for that system, i assume that i will be forced to move to win10. Any help about options on configurações and tips to config will be greatfull. Best regards.

I have gotten into some 3D modelling and find it amazingly fun. Rendering with the GPU is a problem though. While rendering, the GPU hogs almost everything and leaves the Windows gui incredibly choppy and almost unusable. So I'm trying to find a way to bypass this. I would like to avoid buying a second card and connect my monitors (I have 2) to each card. So I was wondering if it is possible to buy a multimedia gpu and connect it to my 1080 with a SLI cable without using SLI. My reasoning is that when the 1080 is used for rendering, my computer uses the multimedia card so I can still use the pc without lag and choppyness in the GUI. Without having to connect the monitor cables into the multimedia card. Is this somehow possible? If not, is there another good solution for this (I would prefer something that works automatic)? I don't want to spend alot of money on a dedicated render card. I hope I made my thinking clear! Thanks!

Hi all, I'm an architect in training at a new job, and my boss is in need of a new server for the business. He is also interested in the idea of having an in-house render farm. I've been tasked with researching the options out there and presenting him with some ideas. My first thought was to combine the two into a single computer that could run two virtualizations - one more modest for the server, and another, more powerful one with the remaining cores for rendering. My questions are these: 1 - is this possible and 2 - is the new Ryzen platform capable of this configuration? The 1800x is an incredible value compared to Xeon offerings, but will it be enough for all this heavy lifting? Is waiting for Threadripper a better move? Or should we just bite the bullet and stick with Intel?

So a long time ago I tried to enable my gpu(gtx 970) to render in after effects and saw almost no difference between "cpu(i7 5820k)" and "cpu(i7 5820k) + gpu(gtx 970)" also no difference between "cpu(i7 5820k) (multiprocessing)" and "cpu(i7 5820k) (multiprocessing) + gpu(gtx 970)" I searched some video's and came at this video called "Premiere Pro CC - CPU vs. GPU Acceleration" In the benchmark results there were almost no to no differences between rendering on cpu(i7 5820k) or cpu(i7 5820k) + gpu(multiprocessing) I would like to get an explanation why there is no differences and maby also a way to get it working better. robin. rig : OS windows 10 pro Cpu Interl Core i7 5820k @3,30GHz ( no overclocked )Gpu MSI Geforce GTX 970 4G ( no overclocked )Mobo MSI x99a Raider Ram Kingston HyperX Fury 16 GB DDR4-2133 ( no overclocked )Cooler Corsair Hydro Series H105 Psu Cooler Master G650M Hard Disc 1 Samsung Evo 840 240 GB Hard Disc 2 Seagate HDD 2 TB

So, I'm planning to build a small render farm. Originally I was thinking of using a Intel Xeon E5-1650 v4 and the Asus X99-M WS Micro ATX Motherboard. But now we have The Ryzen CPUs, (Ryzen 1800x -MSI B350M MORTAR Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard) Which of these, you guys think are better? Xeon with ECC memory, wi-fi (and better mobo overall), OR Ryzen with more cores, and better price?

My friend needed a build for rendering using custom software that he made (hence the beefy CPU). He doesn't need much storage, and the rest of the missing parts in this build he has already.

Hello,Lets say i have a master machine with 128 Gb ram and rendering a heavy scene in 3dsmax that requires 32 Gb ram at least, is it possible to use a computer that has 24 Gb ram as render node/slave or all the slaves requires at least 32?

Hi, thanks for the help. First time building a pc and did some research. Below is my list and I will use it for a lot of rendering and 3D animation. Just need to know whether they'll work together. And if you have any better advice for alternative parts, please let me know. Especially, any advice for a better cooling system? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Jjv2nn Thanks a lot!

Hi. I have a problem with my pc and don't know what is causing it. When playing games, specifically on high settings, I get weird rendering. Any fine lines are not drawn properly distant objects have periodic holes in them, hair isn't drawn correctly, and all lines seem jagged. I noticed it mostly in RotTR and GTA V being more demanding games. Below are a few images showing what I'm talking about. I've managed to rule out the following as causes: GPU - I first thought it was my gpu (Galax gtx 750 ti 2GB) so I upgraded it recently (to Gigabyte RX 480 4GB) CPU/MOBO - Tested the old gpu in a different but similar system to no prevail Monitor - Used both new and old gpu in my monitor (Samsung SyncMaster S23B300b) and TV (Samsung 40" Smart TV) Both of which are 1080p Display cables - In testing the monitor and tv I used a multiple cables The only thing that truly remained constant in the testing was my storage drive which runs my OS (Windows 7 sp1) and games. Could it be my OS, software or because my games are cra(cough)ked?

Seeking the best workstation/ gaming/ render configuration, budget is max out at 6500USD. This will be a small design business build for the next 5-7 years, hoping to be able to churn out 3D render, video-editing beast with 4k gaming on the side. Currently what I have compiled for specs so far: ( please suggest otherwise for even better performance) check the attachment.

Once again, Im turning to LTT forum about an upgrade problem, Im looking at buying a new GPU for my computer, my graphics card recently broke and Im looking at new cards, can you guys please tell me what you know about the RX 480 8gb and the GTX 10 series, and possibly what I should get. The games I want to run are: No Mans Sky, Battlefield 1, Skyrim, Tomb Raider, Ark, Minecraft (sadly) and any new game that comes out Thanks in advance guys and girls (: I was looking at this gpu a few moments ago: Powercolor AXRX 480 8GBD5-3DH Radeon RX 480 Red Devil 8GB 256bit GDDR5 PCI-E 3.0 Desktop Graphics Card

Well... I have a new laptop, the MSI GE62VR, It has an Nvidia GTX 1060 3GB, I have the latest drivers, and when i open Sony Vegas and i Click on 'See if there's CUDA Available' It says NO GPU AVAILABLE, but, the program itself its opened with the 1060, And when i render the video, it renders at te same speed as my CPU, and the CPU stands at 100%, so its using the CPU. I play games with the 1060 and bla bla bla, but i can't render with the 1060 because it says 'NO GPU AVAILABLE' How do i fix it? PD : In GPU-Z Says CUDA Available
