Im just curious but is it bad to use that much CPU and memory?
I mainly do video editing, and its not alot of editing honestly. Just go through some clips I have recorded, snip out what I like and put them together with music. Its when I export the video im using 99% CPU and 90% memory.
Is that a bad thing?
Im using an AMD FX-8320E 8-core with 12gb of memory.
I do a lot of video editing. I run the latest version on Premiere Pro CC 2018.
I use a couple of 4-5 year old
laptops. They are both i7 3rd generation QM series. I have 12 gb of DRAM on both also.
When editing 4K videos, I set the playback resolution on both the timeline playback and the source panels to 1/8. It is not flying through, but good enough to edit relatively efficiently. On a larger project, I ingest the videos and edit them in 480 or 720 resolution. It works well.
When output/encoding in Media Encoder, it uses 100% of the CPU, and around 8gb out of 12gb of memory. The fan runs full blast blowing a lot of hot air. A 30 minute video could take 3-4 hours to encode. I usually set the machine going before I go to bed. I plug a small USB powered fan and put it under the air intake of the computer to make sure it pushes all the heat outside. So far, it is working.
I don't see anything wrong with it unless I have money burning holes in my pocket and I will buy some super dopper high power gaming machine to do the job.
