Video Editing?

[PCBudgetSolutions]

So I am a little confused.  I do all of my video editing in windows movie maker.  I have an I7-2600K @ 4.5GHz and 8GB of ram and it renders pretty damn fast.  Am I missing something, I thought this required a ton of power?

It depends how big the files are that you're rendering I guess.

Nope, an overclocked i7 is enough. I have a i7 3770k overclocked to 4.2 Ghz, and any video transcoding with Handbrake takes less than 10 minutes.

Its depends on the program too

My first video took maybe a minute or 2 and it was 15 minutes and originally 15gb compressed down to 100mb.

Seems like a reasonable amount of time.

So realistically an I5 might take 20-25% longer to render, then honestly even a 5 minute render isn't that bad, is it really worth spending a TON of money on an editing machine to save 2-3 minutes/video?  I guess if you have 1,000 videos it can.

yeah you only have the 6. fastest CPU you could buy and overclocked it. What did you expect? :D

Yeah, if you do it on a daily basis, the time can really add up. So, the money on an editing machine could actually end up saving you money, as in time, down the road.

It is when file sizes/length, etc. are increased.When it is done as a job, the saved time can quickly accumulate.

5 extra minutes per videos for 1000 videos = 5000 minutes

5000 Minutes = 83 Hours

83 hours = 3.5 days.

Thats's alot of time wasted.

This is Windows Movie Maker.  I remember I use to make some videos on there really quick but now I have Sony Vegas and requires horsepower.  Try Sony Vegas or other video editing software since you have only tried Windows Movie Maker and you'll see a difference

Other programs might take longer due to their complexity of the program and the amount of what's happening in the project.

 

Rendering out into an image sequence takes a long time because each frame is a high quality TIFF or PNG or JPG image.

 

A program like after effects with several image sequences, several audio layers and controls adjusting them, with several effects and masks, and other stuff moving would create a fairly long render time.

What's the bitrate of your video?  right click properties - details data rate and bit rate

data rate: 206

Is that program free?

[Hoppa]

Depends on how you get it xD

 

But na it's not free, its rather expensive.

Depends on the video, a normal video will render quite quickly, where's a video that has been through premier and after effects with editing on it takes much longer to render.

Ya, I am working on getting that.  If my give away generates enough traffic I will invest in it.  My summer build will be PERFECT for video editing with 16GB of ram :)
