Help, Video Editing build

wannabefilmaker · Feb 6, 2014

I've had my build for a couple of years now, and am looking into film school, also maybe a year of freelance work and making short films.
Basically the build will have to run adobe cc without any trouble, mainly Premier pro and after effects, but also Lightroom/ Photoshop/illustrator.....maybe a little gaming on the side.

My build currently is :
i7 2600
intel DP67BG Extreme mobo
ati hd7850 sapphire edition 2gb ddr5 vram
16gb transcend 1333 ram
wd 500gig 7200 rpm hdd
coolermaster 800watt psu (non modular :/)

I'm thinking i need to switch to nvidia for cuda acceleration support from adobe. And perhaps a ssd for my os.
Any suggestions? trying to keep the price down, so id rather not switch out what i don't need to.

thanks

(ps i know its a noob build, just trying to salvage what i can)

(pps. any suggestion on a decent screen whats not expensive?)

Hey

ADOBE software programmes and what will you use have a great cuda support!
*AMD is getting better and all the editing software is using Open CL wich AMD cards provide

, having it would be better for future!

Your RAM is enough, it is not worth getting more MHz ram if you already have 16 gb's.

So, basically the gpu is good enough? That's a relief. Ive heard so many people saying that ati cards aren't as well intgrated as nvidia, for adobe. Looks like thats all changing

AMD have much more support in premier, and they are slowelly but surelly getting more support in After Effects.
To be honest cuda is only used in some 3D effects like element

Great!!! Thanks for clearing that up!
Btw would it be worth it to invest in a ssd? what kind of setup would have the best cost:benefit ratio?
maybe ssd as os drive, plus a separate scratch disk, and perhaps a raid 1 configured back up solution?

SSD's are nice.
They dont really help in rendering.
SSD are incredible fast to respond and find random files and such, but when you are pulling large files the SSD are as fast as a HDD.

From my own experience, having 2 HDD's and one SSD is best for video editing.
You have your video files on one HDD and you render them to another

, that means that you don't read and write on the same disc wich will increase the speed a lot

SSD, just get that for your OS and the programmes you need on

, After effects on an SSD is sweet!

Yeah, having videos on SSD's that speed is just huge!
But the cost in just too damn insane high! SSD's is the future but now a 1TB SSD is not that affordable!

However I can't wait when there will be RAM memory Hard Drives

, those speeds will be 1000x's the SSD's one
