  • Which Computer needed for High Def video

    I purchased a Panasonic HDC-TM900 High def camcorder and don't have enough computer power to edit the video. Which computer or how much processor power do I need.
    thanks 

    Hmm....
    what software did the camera come with?
    What does the manual/documentation say for computer requirements?
    Yes, I do encourage i7 or quad-core for best performance
    Budget a few hundred gigabytes of hard drive space for render space for hour long projects
    I like 7200rpm drives
    If you are getting paid for your work, don't hesistate to double or triple your budget.
    Have you considered a high-end gaming laptop to showcase your work or work right at your clients?  I do my work on a gaming laptop and it's much more rewarding to showcase my work and make edits on the spot with a client.
    Again your camera is capable of 3D.  Don't limit your hardware to 2D.
    With regards to software
    I like Pinnacle Studio for raw performance and excellent interface when I'm trimming clips.
    I like Avid Studio for Picture and Picture.  Pinnacle is limited to 2 video streams.
    I like Corel VideoStudio Ultimate (still learning it) for 3D support
    Seriously research and look for a local demonstation of Matrox MXO2.  If you are making money on your projects, being able to render and post your videos with the shortest amount of time with make you more attractive to a client.  It also frees up your personal time.
    Panasonic's camera is still kinda new, you are going to need to research if products identified supports your camera.

  • Are these specs overkill for music recording/video editing?

    I haven't made any purchases yet... I'm still in the planning stages. I just need your opinion on this.
    I plan on making high quality recordings using an iMac, Logic (whatever the newest one is), and a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 interface.
    I customized my iMac and I'm just curious whether or not these specs are overkill for what I'm trying to accomplish.
    27 inch
    3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz
    8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
    1TB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2GB GDDR5
    Apple Magic Mouse
    Apple Wireless Keyboard (English) & User's Guide
    Pages
    Apple USB SuperDrive
    Accessory Kit
    total: $2,447.99
    I also plan to use this computer for video editing, so if you know anything about good specs for that feel free to let me now if this would be the right amount or too much. However, is this more than enough or overkill for the recording aspect?

    Totally agree with mende 1 on this.
    The 27 inch model is best for what you want to do.
    Also, for video editing, you really need the fastest CPU and as much RAM as you can afford.
    As I stated, either the 1 or 2GB VRAM GPU will be fine for video work.
    If you decide to delve into doing video work and editing, I would, also, recommend at some later date, purchasing a couple of ext. USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt hard drives to assist with the workflow.
    Having raw video footage on external hard drives leaves the iMac's internal drive optimized for doing the actual software video tasks by not loading up the internal drive with lots of raw, high GB video footage.
    You can, also, store audio projects, iTunes and iPhoto libraries on ext. hard drives, as well.

  • Macpro 3,1 GPU requirements for Photoshop CC, Video Editing 4K

    Hi -
    I'm looking to upgrade my paltry 512MB graphics card in my MacPro 3,1 2008 2.8 8-core to handle Photoshop CS5, CS6, CC, as well as Final Cut/Premiere 4K editing. Most if not all GPU reviews are focused on gaming performance but I'm just interested in getting enough GPU performance for the above applications. I'm hoping to spend at most $250 for a graphics card but I'd obviously be happier to spend half as much if it's all I need. I've been focusing my attention on the GTX 650 up to the GTX 770 cards. Anyone have any helpful guidance on the matter?
    Thank you in advance!
    PS I'm currently running 10.6.8, but also have a Mavericks partition, all on an SSD drive, 14GB RAM.

    You are in serious need of RAM as well.
    PCIe SSDs can help as well with CS6 for your scratch volume or for Lightroom and Aperture.
    10.8.5 did have support for PC cards - have you talked to folks at Netkas.org and MacRumors forum for Mac Pro as well as looked at test results Barefeats.com did on GTX 7xx ? back couple years they did a lot of tests of GPUs when the EVGA GTX 680, still popular, and AMD 7950 - both are Mac Edition cards and still being sold.

  • Need advice on computer for photo and video editing

    I do mostly routine stuff on my home computer (word processing, e-mails, internet, etc), except for photo and video editing (hobby, not professional)
    I'm upgrading my 4 year old set up, as it has 2 GB ram, dual core vs quad core, 256mb video card, etc, etc.  Better to buy a new rig than upgrade several different components.
    Costco has a pretty nice set up in the store (HPE 257 c-b), but for an extra $200, I can order online and get the HPE 170t, which is essentially the same except for 2 upgrades:
    -Radeon HD 5770 video card vs Radeon HD 5570
    -Two 1 TB 7200 hard drives vs one 1 TB 7200 hard drive
    My question is this.....is it worth the extra $200 to get the better graphics card and the dual hard drive set up?  Will it really make that much of a difference in the performance?  I'm thinking it will, especially the ability to set up the 2nd hard drive as my scratch disk.
    For what it's worth, both systems have the i7 860, 8 GB ram, and Windows Home Premium 64 bit.
    Thanks.

    In very general terms, the requirements for Video will exceed those for Photoshop (PS). If you are looking at PrPro CS5, then the video card WILL make a difference, and PS CS5 now takes advantage of the video card, than before.
    For PS, the minimum HDD setup would be a 2x system with physical (not partitions) HDD's. Video has more requirements in this area, and I would say that a 3x setup is the minimum. Do read Harm's linked article, as it is the best that I have ever run across.
    For the PS setup, just locate the Scratch Disks for PS on your extra HDD's, the ones with your Project and PrPro Scratch Disks.
    Enjoy the new computer, and welcome to the forum,

  • Basic Mac vs PC question and High Def Video

    When it comes to the issue with editing High Def video I was under the impression that it is a matter of "computing Power". The reason I ask this is although I would love to transition to a mac I am able to buy a i7 based pc with a 1024MB video card for the same price it would cost me to buy a iMac with core 2 duo chip and a 256MB card. I realize I get afar superior monitor with imac but right now that is not the priority. The priority is running and editing High Def Movies. Thanks for your feedback

    The graphics card itself probably won't make any difference (except on new Macs and software with Open CL support as it uses the idle power in the GPU to assist the CPU).
    However, in your case, lots of ram, lots of hard drive space and a fairly decent CPU is what you require.

  • Re: high def video and software

    I purchased a Sony High Def Video Camcorder.
    It is the SR1.
    How soon will MAC offer software (e.g. final cut or imovie)
    that will allow me to edit the high definition video?
    I have heard that Blackmagic offers a card that allows you to run the video into the computer - will I need this card to run the video into imovie or final cut express?
    Thanks,
    Martin
    PS Are there other HDMI cards for mac that are cheaper than $300 and is there any MAC editing software for HIGH DEF already out there?

    Welcome to the forums.
    FCP doesn't support the format now, and there is no word when support will occur.
    If the camera has an HDMI interface, then the Black-Magic Intensity card is the one for you. And $300 is as cheap as it gets. Unfortunately I think it only works with FCP, and not iMovie. iMovie HD can only capture via firewire, and it doesn't support that format. FCP and that card (need a MacPro or Quad to use that card) are the only options at this time, and it captures footage as a workable format.

  • High def videos vs. Low def videos on iPad

    Hi, everybody.  I bought a video, and accidentally bought it in high def, when I meant to get low def.  It downloaded and played just fine, so apparently my iPad does support high def, but I'm wondering whether it was worth the extra money.
    I've heard that when you buy a high def video from the app store, you get both it and the low def version.  So my question is, how do I find the low def version to get a look at it before I buy another video?

    Please see: iTunes Store: Viewing and downloading HD content on iPad which should clear this up for you.

  • Which project settings for project for Canon Powershot Video Editing?

    Which project settings for project for Canon Powershot Video Editing?
    I want to edit video taken with a Canon Powershot SD 550 taken in NTSC 640 x 480. When I start a new project, which project settings should I be using? Also when exporting the project to view on a computer should I stick with the AVI or will MPEG or another universal format give me better end quality?

    Hunt,
    This user has two thread topics here that are identical to ones at the forum which I frequent. Early on I  downloaded video from the Canon Powershot that he says he is using for the basis of my comments. So, I have put that video through gspot myself. Since the user is going between the two forums (mostly here), I did not want anything lost in the back and forth. The goal is to help attainment of the goal. That is why I am including comments at both locations:

    The user has gotten back to me on the video rotation issue, thanking me, but telling me that another workflow was identified...and, as I note, generously shared with both sites. I am in the process of personally checking out what he said worked for him in that regard. However, the user has not gotten back to me on the topic of project settings.
    So to expedite matters, when you get a chance, could you please check out my comments in that thread? I would be interested in your perspective on the matter and what I wrote.
    Thanks.

  • What are the ports required for the Audio, Video and A/V conferencing when the following end points are enabled for QoS in Lync 2013 server?

    Hi All,
    What are the ports required for the Audio, Video and A/V conferencing when the following clients are enabled for QoS in Lync 2013 server?
    Client Type
    Port range  and Protocol required for Audio
    Port range and Protocol required for
    Video
    Port range and Protocol required for
    A/Vconferencing
    Windows Desktop   Client
    Windows mobile App
    Iphone
    Ipad
    Andriod phone
    Andriod Tablet
    MAC desktop client
    Please advise. Many Thanks.

    Out of the box, 1024-65535 for all of the client ports.  :) 
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398833.aspx
    You'll want to tune your client ports a bit
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204760.aspx as seen here, and then the client ports would use those ranges which is easier to set QoS markings.  I'm not sure the mobile clients respect that setting.
    Elan's got the best writeup for Windows clients here:
    http://www.shudnow.net/2013/02/16/enabling-qos-for-lync-server-2013-and-various-clients-part-1/
    However, the marking of the packets is the tricky part.  Windows can do it via Group Policy, but for the other clients you'll need to have the network specifically prioritize ports regardless of DSCP markings.  You have to do it based on ports
    as the traffic could be peer to peer.

  • Is the Dv7t or ENVY better for gaming and video editing?

    Hello everyone!
    I currently own a Pavilion dv7t Quad Edition notebook PC and have had it since December 2009. Ever since the beginning, my dv7t has always gotten incredibly hot when playing the simple online game RuneScape, and, quite frankly, whenever I would do... anything. Now, however, it will not turn on past the Windows OS introduction 80% of the time and the wireless detector will rarely work. Instead of sending it in for a massive repair fee, I think I'll just buy a new laptop.
    So my question is: Which laptop is better for playing Runescape, video editing with Sony Vegas Pro, and general web surfing, word processing, etc: The Pavilion dv7t or the Envy 17? Do you have any information on how hot they get? I would really appreciate all support.

    Hi,
    Check the configurator as both can be configured with the 2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2820QM (2.3 GHz, 8MB L3 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 3.4 GHz.
    Split your monitor screen and put on model in each window and walk thru the configurators and pick chose your desired options noting the change in price.

  • Minimum computer system requirements for LabVIEW 7.1

    What are the minimum computer system requirements for LabVIEW 7.1?  I have a PC with the following specifications:  1.7 GHz Pentium-4, 512 MB RAM, and a 60 GB hard drive running Windows ME.  I tried installing LabVIEW on the system but kept getting the "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for this product" message.  What's the problem here?
    Thank you.

    Hi Enhan,
    You're problem may be related to the OS "Win-ME". 
    Your system appears fine, if there is room available on the HD.

  • What is the best All in One program for picture and video editing?

    Hello i am new to photoshop and would like to really make some fantastic photos and video for my family and friends. I want to add effects to video and Edit photos to the 10th degree. Can someone please recommend an Adobe program. Should i get CS4 extended should i get master suite? Also where can i watch Video Tutorials that start from the basic and lead to the complex. Thanks in advance

    What is the best All in One program for picture and video editing?
    There is no such thing. If there were, nobody would bother writing different applications. If you are primarily focused on still image editing and video, Adobe Production Premium is the way to go. You can find any number of tutorials just by searching Google and many good ones are linked from the Adobe help systems as well.

  • Choosing an external hard drive for MacBook Pro video editing?

    This summer, I'll be taking an introductory video production/editing class, using Final Cut Express 4.
    I own a late 2009 MacBook Pro (2.26Ghz Core 2 Duo, 8GB RAM, FireWire 800, GeForce 9400M), which I'd like to use for editing at home, i.e. when I don't have access to the class video lab.
    I've heard that I should buy an external hard drive, so as not to fill up and wear out my laptop's 160GB hard drive.  Google returns a tsunami of information on hard drive choices, much of it undated, and mostly geared towards pro video editors.  Overwhelming, and not that helpful so far.
    For my basic needs, are all hard drives more or less interchangable?  Is one brand/model better suited for video editing (versus backups)?  What are the critical specs to consider?
    I hope to continue with movie-making as hobby - and to promote my small business - but I do not expect to put together a pro setup.
    Thanks.

    Get as big a firewire drive as you can afford, making sure it runs at 7200rpm.  Media files are huge:  regular DV is around 13GB/hour.  Most HD media is transcoded to Apple Intermediate Codec in FCE as it's ingested, around 40GB/hour.
    I've had very good luck with drives from Other World Computing (http://macsales.com/).  If you'll be transporting the drive between school and home regularly, I'd suggest a bus-powered drive, just because it's smaller.  Lots of folks in this forum swear by LaCie drives.
