"What’s the Best Computer for Video Editing?"
- Details
- Written by Larry Compton
It seems like an easy question, and when posed as such those asking it clearly want make & model info so thay can just add one to their wish list or pull the trigger and purchase it. Purchasing a PC for almost any need should take a little more thought than that though, especially when it comes to multimedia processing needs.
Review Application Requirements
Understanding the hardware requirements for the software applications you intend to leverage is key. Minimum specs, GPU & I/O driver support of course, and more should be taken into consideration. This is also a great time to consider improvements throughout your multimedia workflows, looking for opportunities to save even more time with a new configuration (e.g. transcoding, data transfer, storage & backup efficiencies, etc.).

Below is a link to a blog post from Avid on this post's very topic, which is not specific to their software and provides some good general information to answer this question:

It's a hot topic, maybe not for the general public, but certainly for many of my peers lately. I have yet to meet a Digital Evidence Technician or Analyst who has complained about having too much, hi-speed, secure, expandable & redundant shared storage. Just sayin'.
To that end, check out my latest blog post for my employer Ocean Systems via the button below.

I finished some major updates to the site last night, including upgrading to a newer, faster core database. I also updated our DCCTV Player Library to include new features, better performance, and better layouts. In doing the latter I was reminded of Joe Fragomeni's significant contributions to our DCCTV Player Library, and his continued contributions here and elsewhere to the entire multimedia evidence community.
Joe Fragomeni
Prior to moving to a subscription model in April, 2019, I reached out to Joe to let him know that he would have free lifetime access to all of our Pro Upgrade features. If you've browsed the library you know that Joe has contributed over 70 files, and also took the time to add details such as screenshots, tips & tricks, etc. Joe has continued to contribute and support DME Resources throughout it's many changes over the years, and his valuable insight and timely assistance to so many has been inspirational for me at times when I needed it most.
Over the years Joe & I have become great friends, and I will always consider him within my "inner circle". For Pete's sake, he's even sent me cigars on occasion, which although unhealthy are one of the key things that help me relax. 😎
Joe, I cannot thank you enough for your friendship & support. Not just your support & participation at DME Resources, but your support of our entire discipline over the years through LEVA and other means as well. It has been and always will be an honor to call you my friend. All the best, always!
