New Video Editing Build

Captain Matt
 Share
Posted

Hi all,

 

I rip through a ton of videos for my clients, but I'm far beyond the point of making like 1 video a week as a hobby to where I'm incorporating numerous After Effects compositions and rendering 10+ hours of video per week.

 

Current build: 
AMD 8350, GTX 770, 16GB ram, 1tb WD black for editing, 2x 3tb WD Reds for local backups (not in RAID because greater flexibility, back ups are automated anyways).

 

Can someone tell me what the best bang for your buck Intel extreme edition processors are? I'm interested in moving to m.2 for OS storage and x99 or later.

Can someone also compare the extreme editions to the xeons for me? I don't really game all that much anymore. It's all about editing speed.

Used is fine, but tell me where can I shop?

I am interested exclusively in ASUS motherboards.

 

Budget for mobo, processor, RAM (would love to get a combo and be done with it, used is fine): 500-700.

 

Thanks!
-Matt

I'm maxing my RAM so looking to move up to 32.

I'm sorry, I do not want to get on an untested platform. The time for me is pretty much NOW.

Are you interested in using ECC memory?

No preference.

The hell do you mean by untested? there's a bunch of reviews already out.

Tested as in actually used in the real world. Tested with a very wide variety of peripherals and add-on cards. Tested in all sorts of different software environments with real world work flows. That I suspect is what is meant.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

I want something that has been out for months and months. Sorry.
Every talks gaming performance. Haven't seen a single review talk about editing performance.


Wouldn't the higher clock speed on an Intel chip with less cores > AMD chip with more cores at lower clock?

for videoediting and 3d work ryzen seem to be good.

i7-6800K is a good choice.

 

The Asus X99-A, if you can find one would be a reasonable choice. If buying new, the Asus X99-A II would be better. (Up to 128GB memory vs 64GB, USB 3.1 Type A & C.)

 

Any decent quad channel memory kit will do. Something around 4x8GB, DR4-2400 CL 15 would be acceptable. Higher frequency would offer some added performance.

 

After Effects uses gpu resources to accelerate many editing functions. But check any add-ins you use to see if they do better with more cpu resources.

Maybe a 1070 would do more good than new mobo/processor?
Hmmmm.

It might. Depends on your workflow.

>Copy footage from SD cards to WD Black editing drive
>Import directly into Premiere timeline (no conversion, clips from my cams are 1080p mp4 though I have had to convert some .movs lately)

>Create graphics and edit audio as needed (Audition and After Effects... Get's RAM intensive here)
>Cue renders of various cuts of video in Media Encoder

If I continue working while encoding, which I can barely do right now, then I can end up with up to four programs open at once (PR, AE, AU, and ME) (plus Chrome... RAM hog haha).

I expect a GTX 1070 would help. But do you have an ssd for the system drive? For scratch? And, have you contemplated using an ssd for the editing drive?

I do have SSD system drive.
Not for editing.
How do you set that up?

You can designate a drive for the After Effects cache in preferences. Using an ssd for this will speed things up. Ideally one can also use ssd to store projects.

 

If you haven't seen it already, http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/how-to-render-faster-and-speed-up-adobe-after-effects offers some insight into improving After Effects performance through memory and storage upgrades.
