Good evening all, I’m so confused looking at what I need for video editing so have come here hoping some experts can help me. So I have a Mavic Air drone that shoots in 4K and a go pro Hero 7. I’m planning on editing the video from both. I’m finding that playback on my current desktop is slow and jittery and that importing video is very very slow.
I have a 2 year old desktop with Intel i7 4790 @ 3.6GHz. It has a 2tb HDD. The ram is 16gb ddr3. The system is telling me that 2 of 4 slots are being used. Graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745.
So my dilemma. Do I buy new components to upgrade or buy a new PC. As is always the case, I want to keep costs as low as possible, but was looking at 16gb DDR4 and an intel i7 9700 as well as a new SSD. Not really sure about graphics card. Should I consider an AMD processor instead? Pretty confident that I can put it all together, but do I also need to upgrade the motherboard?
Very grateful for any advice you can all offer.
