Video Editing Workflow

Hello,

I am thinking on ideas for a good editing workflow for Video. I currently work on my Custom Built PC with i7 6700K, 32GB 2666Mhz & GTX1080. I use an Smasung 850 Pro M.2 NVME for my boot drive and Adobe Software and use a samsung 850 evo for a scratch disk. I plan on increasing work and was wondering if it would be beneficial to either change my system to an X99 Build with more cores. Or and additional build of x99 and set up a sort of work station and render machine? What would be more beneficial. I was thinking it may be more cost effective to go just X99 and have one build but i believe for some tasks on Premiere Pro and After Effects the 6700K will perform better?

 

There would be a benefit of being able to work on things and still render at the same time. 

I have an old HP server with 2 xeon processors in it intel 755 Socket i was thinking i could maybe upgrade them and make use of that?

 

Any ideas or suggestions on what would be a good setup?

 

Thanks,

Alistair

hello!

is it me you're looking for?

ᴾC SᴾeCS ᴰoWᴺ ᴮEᴸoW

Spoiler

Desktop: X99-PC

CPU: i7 5820k

Mobo: X99 Deluxe

Cooler: Dark Rock Pro 3

RAM: 32GB DDR4
GPU: GTX 1080

Storage: 1TB 850 Evo, 1TB HDD, bunch of external hard drives
PSU: EVGA G2 750w

Peripherals: Logitech G502, Ducky One 711

Audio: Xonar U7, O2 amplifier (RIP), HD6XX

Monitors: 4k 24" Dell monitor, 1080p 24" Asus monitor

 

Laptop:

-Overkill Dell XPS

Fully maxed out early 2017 Dell XPS 15, GTX 1050 4GB, 7700HQ, 1TB nvme SSD, 32GB RAM, 4k display. 97Whr battery :x 
Dell was having a $600 off sale for the fully specced out model, so I decided to get it :P

 

-Crapbook

Fully specced out early 2013 Macbook "pro" with gt 650m and constant 105c temperature on the CPU (GPU is 80-90C) when doing anything intensive...

A 2013 laptop with a regular sized battery still has better battery life than a 2017 laptop with a massive battery! I think this is a testament to apple's ability at making laptops, or maybe how little CPU technology has improved even 4+ years later (at least, until the recent introduction of 15W 4 core CPUs). Anyway, I'm never going to get a 35W CPU laptop again unless battery technology becomes ~5x better than as it is in 2018.

Apple knows how to make proper consumer-grade laptops (they don't know how to make pro laptops though). I guess this mostly software power efficiency related, but getting a mac makes perfect sense if you want a portable/powerful laptop that can do anything you want it to with great battery life.
