Attempting to render a 60FPS 5K video on my jank laptop

[The_Prycer]

Because I am a terrible person, today I decided to render a 3 minute music video in 5K at 60FPS on my HP Probook 455 G3 since my PC that I would normally have used for this suffered an unfortunate capacitor related death last month and I am still building its replacement.

 

It has been 4 hours and barely 20% of the render is completed. Maybe when I come home from work tomorrow it will have either finished the job or died a glorious heat death.

 

Don't be like me, get a minimum 6 core processor that runs fast~ish to render your videos in high resolutions. Better yet, don't agree to edit videos for people when your editing PC is down.

i used to edit 1080p 60 fps, highish bit rate videos for a media club on my old 3rd generation i3 and when i would export, i would have to leave it over night

I've propped it up at an angle and put a cooling unit under it to generate maximum airflow. Now I play the waiting game.

Realistically any high end video should be edited on an 8+ core desktop, but I owed this guy a favor and figured I could get the job done within 3 days of render time

Well, happily, 20-ish hours falls within a day.

 

When I was encoding a lengthy anime series on my old laptop from Blu Ray to something manageable, it ran Handbrake for about 9 days straight. That horrible wretched fan whining noise in my room for more than a week was dreadful.
