With the advent of the self-media era, the short video industry is developing rapidly, more and more people have entered the field of video creation; as the saying goes: if you want to do a good job, you must first use it, if you want to do a good job in short video, an excellent editing computer is essential, today we explore what kind of configuration is more suitable for editing.
CPU selection
The first is about the choice of CPU; each step of the video clip requires a computer to perform a lot of calculations to complete the operation, the high performance requirements of the editing on the CPU are beyond doubt, especially the main frequency of the CPU, the most needed when editing is this, the higher the main frequency, the more times the number of operations per second, the faster the calculation speed; and the more cores and threads, the stronger the ability of parallel computing, especially when running multiple software or games at the same time, the number of cores is particularly important.
Purchase recommendation: CPU as far as possible to choose high frequency + multi-core, preferably the main frequency of 3.0 or more, more than 6 core CPU; here is recommended Intel i5-10600KF, 10th generation Core CPU, 6 core 12 threads, the main frequency of 4.1GHz, the highest turbo frequency up to 4.8GHz.
Graphics card selection
Let's take a look at the choice of graphics card; the role of the graphics card in the editing is mainly to effectively increase the number of video real-time preview frames, make the operation smoother, and also improve the speed of rendering output and improve the export speed. From an editing point of view alone, the graphics card is not as important as the CPU, and a regular GTX 1660 Ti can do a good job. However, if you need to do real-time rendering of post-effects, add a lot of filters, transitions and color grading, and even have 4K editing requirements, then the graphics card requirements need to be increased to RTX 2060 and above graphics cards.
Purchase recommendation: Preferably N card, because Adobe's PR is to use the graphics card CUDA acceleration to speed up rendering speed (N card), A card is OpenCl acceleration, here is recommended Yingchi RTX 3060 Star Obscurity MAX OC Forever Edition, 3584 CUDA core, 12G GDDR6 video memory, can easily cope with design editing needs.
Memory selection
Then we look at the choice of memory; memory is a vital component of the computer, mainly for temporarily storing the massive data generated by CPU operations, once the memory does not have too high storage space, even the best CPU can not play its powerful performance, the most direct feedback when editing is "real-time preview stutter, slow rendering" and so on.
There are three main points in the memory requirements of video editing: when processing multiple track video sequences, the more tracks need to occupy the greater the memory capacity; some plug-in effects operations, such as stable motion, accelerated speed change, complex transitions, will occupy a lot of memory storage space; loading materials, loading fonts also need to occupy a lot of storage space.
Purchase suggestions: priority mainstream DDR4 memory, the higher the frequency, the better (at least 3200MHz, generally recommended 3600MHz and above high frequency), if it is 1080P video clips, dual-channel memory 8G *2 can be, if you want to edit 2K/4K video or have special effects needs, it is recommended to choose dual channel memory 16G*2 and above memory. Here we recommend Yingchi DDR4-3600 16G memory, specially selected overclocked DRAM IC and black matte 8-layer PCB, players can explore deeply and further get a better performance experience.
Hard disk selection
Finally, let's take a look at the choice of hard disk; the hard disk on the video post-production is mainly in the material loading, the current stage of video material movement is hundreds of G, when importing large-capacity materials, you need to wait a long time to import into it, an excellent hard disk can greatly shorten the loading time, of course, not only that, in the often render work, high-performance hard disk can also accelerate the startup of video software, the preview of the index directory.
Purchase recommendation: Priority mainstream PCIE4.0 SSD, solid state with a capacity of more than 512G, it is recommended to add a large-capacity mechanical hard disk. Here we recommend Yingchi Xingyao X4 M.2 1T SSD, entry-level PCIe 4.0 solid state, continuous read and write speed up to 3600/3000 MB/s, 4K random read and write up to 420/560K IOPS, can bring a smooth experience of second-speed boot and rapid loading.
Basically the precautions are the above, hardware is very important for design editing, it is related to daily work efficiency, so small partners in the installation of the machine must not be too much to save money, in their own conditions allow as far as possible with a good.
