L355D S7901/video editing freezes laptop

I cannot get my pinnacle editing software to run properly (freezes)...this model has more power than the software calls for...it runs slow and/or freezes up etc. also some vids won't go to fullscreen, goes black but still have audio??????...

You don't say which Pinnacle software.
In any case, it's best to consult with Pinnacle's tech support.
Make sure the program is compatible with Windows Vista.

  • Suitable laptop for video editing

    Hello,
    for months now I am looking for a suitable laptop for video editing of  my footage captured by Canon 60D (and also GoPro). Since it is in a HD quality and h.264  format it puts a great strain on the CPU. I already had to return an  ASUS U30J and Dell XPS14 both with i7 processors because of their  terribly slow performance :(. So now, I really want to be 100% sure that  the laptop will be able to smoothly handle my footage. I am using Adobe  Premiere Pro CS5 for video editing and I do need a laptop (preferably 15'')  as I travel all the time.
    Here are the specifications of the Force 16F2 laptop built on MSI 16F2 (from the xoticpc.com), which I have chosen so far:
    FORCE 16F2 / MSI 16F2
    -  15.6” FHD 16:9 LED Backlit Wide screen (1920x1080) Super Clear Glare Type Screen
    -  2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-2720QM, 2.2-3.3GHz, (32nm, 6MB L3 cache)
    -  IC Diamond Thermal Compound - CPU + GPU (Cools better than all Compounds)
    -  nVidia GeForce GTX 560M 1,536MB PCI-Express GDDR5 DX11
    -  12,288MB (12GB) DDR3 1333MHz Dual Channel Memory (2x4GB 2x2GB)-
    -  Standard Finish
    -  - 500GB (w/ 4GB SSD Memory) Seagate XT 7200RPM NCQ Hybrid 32MB Cache (Serial-ATA II 3GB/s)-   or 750GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache Buffer (Serial-ATA II 3GB/s)--
    - 750GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache Buffer (Serial-ATA II 3GB/s)-
    -  Raid 0  Stripe Enabled (Requires 2 or 3 Hard Drives. Combines Hard Drives for performance)
    -  500GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache Buffer (Serial-ATA II 3GB/s) in ODD Bay
    -  3 Year Complete Care Warranty - 3 Year Parts with Ground Shipping, 24/7 Telephone Tech Support & Lifetime Labor Warranty
    I would like to ask you what do you think about this configuration  regarding my requirements? Will this system be powerful enough to handle  the h.264 footage? I would like to use both the SLR camera and the laptop as long as possible and don't have to change the laptop in one year time or so. That's why I would like the system to be powerful enough to withstand even future demands of the software, etc.
    I was also not sure about the 500GB (w/ 4GB SSD Memory) Seagate XT 7200RPM NCQ Hybrid 32MB Cache (Serial-ATA II 3GB/s. Do you think it is a smart choice? Is the 4GB SSD memory of any use? Or should I rather go with the 750GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache Buffer (Serial-ATA II 3GB/s)?
    I don't have any previous experience with the raid system, do you think that the Raid 0  Stripe Enabled (Requires 2 or 3 Hard Drives. Combines Hard Drives for performance) is the right choice for smooth video editing? I know that I have to use at least 2 hard drives so that's why I'd rather order 3 HDD to get the best performance..
    This configuration is worth 1800USD, I would obviously like to save some  money as I will need to pay also the shipping costs, tax and duty (I  currently live in New Delhi)... So if you think that something from the  system might be downgraded and I would still get good video editing  results, please let me know.
    Do you think that the 3 Year Complete Care Warranty - 3 Year Parts with Ground Shipping, 24/7 Telephone Tech Support & Lifetime Labor Warranty is of any use when I am not from the US? Should I rather go with the 1 Year warranty?
    I would very much appreciate any feedback from you!
    Misha

    Frederick, I will firstly answer your questions, I am in no way a pro video editor, my projects are up to 10MB of size although I wasn't yet able to edit the h.264 footage properly ... I mostly do events and quite simple projects, effects, two to three timelines... I use only h.264, my older projects are in DV quality thought. I usually have to rush to finish a project since I have limited time during the travels.. I usually work at one, maximum two projects at the same time
    Now, I have been trying to figure out what would be the best configuration for me and ended up with these two options, which are touching (maybe even overflowing) my budget... Both are worth around USD2100 (without shipping, etc.). Either I  will be going for one SSD disk for the OS or for maximum CPU and RAM.  Which configuration would you recommend me? Do you think that the second configuration is an overkill when taken into account the size and scope of my projects?
    With SSD disk:

    Frederick, regarding the RAM I checked the 8GB option and it comes in 2GBx4 so I won't be able to save those slots. Plus I have been searching for prices of the RAM, HDD and SSD in the US and they don't seem to be that great for me to even consider them... I would simply have to pay more and would end up with unused parts from the basic configuration. I think that the Xoticpc have quite reasonable prices of the upgrades they offer... Plus I can count on higher prices of the components here in India so all in all I think that it would cost me too much energy and save me minimum bucks...  That's why I thought I might go for the 16GB RAM straight away if it isn't an overkill for me. As I said before, I would love to save money (after all I am a woman   who controls the common budget) so please let me  know, if I am just wasting money for high end technology which I won't be able to use . I rather think that in the future once I will finally be able to make  some money when I will have a machine to work on, I might upgrade to  better hard drives (SSD possibly). But right now I need a laptop on  which I would be able to smoothly edit the HD h.264 footage.
    Thank you very much for your help!

  • Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on old laptop.  Is there a small fee to be able to do this.  Never installed the video editing portion, can this be installed with no problem?

    Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on an older laptop.  This is a one time user program, is there a code that can be put in or a small fee to pay to be able to use the program again.  Never installed the video editing and hoping this can be installed with no problem.

    If the laptop is still connected Launch Elements in Expert Mode. Go to the help menu and sign-out. That will deactivate usage on the laptop.

  • Laptop for Photo/Video editing via Photoshop CS5/Premiere

    I am currently seeking a laptop strictly for photo/video editing.  I desire an i7 processor (Ivy Bridge is better from what I'm hearing but am not sure), dedicated graphics card (at least 3G video memory), a minimum of 8GB ram that is still expandable, a 17" 1920x1080 matte display with a wide color gamut, a 7200rpm drive and would absolutely love to find one with Windows7 as I personally cannot stand the new Windows8.  One other thing, I need the necessary ports available to hook to a larger monitor for more detailed work.  I was looking at the ASUS G75VW that BestBuy was carrying, which I hear has gotten good reviews (other than the sound driver issue that I hear is fixable) and here begins the other half of my dilemma. 
    At two local stores, I have went and looked at computers on display, and, although nice personalities abounded, when I started mentioning the above mentioned desires, every single employee I spoke with stood there and looked at me like a cow looking at a new gate before handing me a printout of "specs" off of the BestBuy website.  I pointed out several inconsistencies I had noticed on the "specs" (ie information left out, inconsistent information) and the looks only got worse, as if I had suddenly started speaking in tongues from planet "what the f...??". 
    All of this being said, I realize I could purchase a "designer" laptop from a myriad of other sites.  However, I was recently given a sizeable gift card, from BestBuy, and am limited in this aspect.  So, with an open mind, any suggestions, experience, recommendations anyone? 
    P.S. I have also considered the MacBook Pro, as well as the iMac 27" (yes, I know it's not a laptop but it's freakin' cool looking).  Despite the PC vs Mac MMA cage fights to the death, I don't care if it's a pc, apple, orange or a grapefruit as long as it's fast, reliable, upgradeable to a degree, repairable when it breaks and does what I need it to do. 
    Thanks in advance!

    I've only seen Windows 8, never used it, and it looked like a pain. But if I'm not mistaken, isn't there an option for it to function like a normal Windows machine with Desktop and Start menu/ bar?
    The laptop you linked looks fine for running CS5. I'd max out that RAM for rendering reasons thats about it. The only thing is the graphics card is mid-range, and being a laptop you can't upgrade it. I don't know what your work load for file size is or what type of video your doing in Premiere though.
    I like iMacs and everything, but when it comes to upgrading stuff, don't count on it. Depending on what your workin' on, I'd rather invest in a MacPro and pick my own monitor. 
    As far as Windows or Mac goes, you can obviously use either one, but I personally like the workflow on a mac. Windows seems to be more worried about being 'flashy' and not concerned with the user experience. Unfortunetly Macs are gettin there too. For some stupid reason people are thinking the workflow on a tablet and phone are the same on a desktop.

  • Laptop for video editing

    Hello People
    I am seeking for medium price, new laptop  with firewire  , and efficient in compression of video material. I can spend  600$ for it .

    Look for a laptop with the fastest CPU and largest amount of hard drive space you can find.  Also, if you're editing HD video, look for one that has a 1920x1080 display - but you won't likely find that at a $600 price point.  However since you mention Firewire I assume you're still editing standard definition MiniDV video, which fortunately isn't too CPU-intensive to work with.  (I guess some HDV cameras combine high-def and Firewire, but these are fairly rare - AVCHD is far more common.)
    Graphics chipset doesn't matter much for video editing.  These days, the only thing differentiating GPUs is 3D rendering performance.  For 2D work, every chipset out there is more than sufficient.

  • Best midrange video editing laptop

    I am looking to purchase a video editing laptop for my son.  He has a gopro and iPhone and enjoys making and editing videos.  Honestly I am clueless about the whole thing and would like some guidance and opinions before making the purchase.  I would like to stay under $2000.00 preferably under $1500.00.  I also would like for the transfer from the gopro to the laptop to be an easy process.
    I appreciate any feedback!
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    I would think he needs a quad core for video editing. And starting at $2500.

    Add a larger monitor too. Then figure it needs some good solid storage for video files, backup, etc.
    Will likely see this moved to the MacBook Pro forum section, not the workstation Mac Pro where it is now.

  • Need help choosing the best laptop or desktop for video editing.

    Hi guys.  I'm a videographer and am in need of upgrading my current Dell Dimension 8300 desktop to either another desktop or a laptop.  My current Dell is just too slow.  It takes forever to render a video.
    Anyhow, what do you guys recommend for video editing?  I'd like something with plenty of hard drive space, plenty of memory, and a powerful video card.  There are just too many to choose from and was hoping to get some feedback.
    Thank you,
    Brian

    You can find a fairly cheap quad core desktop with a nice video card.  So if you need something that will last a while and not cost too much I would go this route.
    If you want a laptop, put yourself in one of these categories: someone who needs high mobility/battery life (14 in screen or smaller), someone who needs high mobility with a big screen (15.4in), or someone who needs a powerful computer with a big screen (17-18.4 in).
    Don't worry too much about laptop brands, only a handful of them actually make their own laptops, most of the big brands use the same two or three laptop manufacturers.
    Get the most powerful intel processor you can afford, and put either a 9 series nvidia, or an ati radeon 4800 series in, four gb of ram, and a 7200 rpm hard disk.
    After that it really comes down to price and personal style, I would stay away from the hp laptops, the brand that they use doesn't do so well making the internal components.
    Here are some good picks. 
    1) ASUS G Series G50VT-X3 (15.4in)
    2) Sager 5793 (17in)
    3)ASUS N80 Series N80Vn-X5 (14.1in)
    Asus actually manufactures their own laptops, and my experience with them has been spectacular.  The Sager is a rebranded Clevo, which is one of the brands alienware, falcon northwest, and other high end companies use. 

  • Powerful laptop for video editing?

    Sometimes people ask what laptop to buy for video editing. My laptop has the following specification.
    1 gigabyte graphics memory (NVIDIA GeForce GT 620M)
    Intel core i7 3632qm CPU (quad core, 2.2 GHz with maximum 3.2 GHz).
    5400 RPM hard drive in two partions C: and D:
    6 gigabytes with RAM
    I use Windows 8.1, with Windows settings for maximum performance.
    I have spent more than 200 hours editing a project which is about 110 minutes long. 
    RAM, graphics card respectively CPU have been no limitation. But my hard drive must often work hard.
    Partition C: became full with media cache files since my project is so big. So in the future I will put the media cache files on partition D: For this project I solved the problem by deleting those media cache files which were no longer needed.
    Alright, I have been forced to split up my long project into smaller pieces. So I have projects which each contains a few hours with raw material, out of which there is about 10 minutes on the timeline. For each project I export a video file. These files I import into another project where I join them into one video file which is 110 minutes long.
    I find it inconvenient when PE 12 needs more than one minute to load a particular project. This is the reason why I split up my long project into smaller pieces.
    To avoid confusion, I never use video transitions. And I only use video effects when I am forced to correct poor footage. So in each project there is at most about a minute of footage to be rendered. I mean, even though I don't render, PE 12 works well.
    I hope this will help those who need to buy a laptop for editing.

    Thanks for the comments.
    Sorry for this delay in answering. I didn't check if there was any comment because I didn't expect any.
    a.
    I should had expressed myself differently.
    No, I have not monitored CPU usage because it is the hard drive which limits how fast my laptop works.
    There is one advantage with having a track for video expanded rather than collapsed. One can see what one has already put on the timeline without moving the cursor. If one waits until the computer has generated pictures on the timeline.
    But I realized that with my laptop one has to wait uncomfortably long for those pictures to be created. So it is faster to move the cursor to that position where I have guessed that I have already put the footage I want to find.
    b.
    I have not tested multiple monitors. Neither would I bother if CPU usage increased because it is the hard drive, not the CPU, which limits how fast my laptop works.
    c.
    I have not used Premiere CC so I have not checked the hardware requirements.
    Unless I have misunderstood something, Premiere CC has somewhat higher hardware requirements than Premiere Elements. Understandable since professional camcorders use higher bit rate (more information per second) than cheaper camcorders.
    So presumably I would be forced to split up my projects in even smaller parts to make everything manageable. On the other hand, using footage which is intra frame compressed rather than inter frame compressed would mean that the hardware needs to work less hard, so perhaps it would be possible to edit long projects.
    At the same time, some professional programs can work with proxy files, and in that case the high bit rate for professional footage would be no problem.
    Besides, unless something is wrong with my memory, Edius has somewhat lower hardware requirements than Premiere CC, so possibly that program would be more relevant for usage on my laptop.
    Higher bitrate means that there is room for fewer hours with raw material on my single hard drive. So with 100 Mbps I would in practice be limited to creating movies which are at most about 40 minutes long.
    One advantage with professional video editing software is that it can edit video with higher resolution than 1920*1080. But I doubt that would work on my laptop.
    Thanks for your congratulations.
    Yes it works. And after posting in another forum in my native language, another film maker commented that he had edited on a laptop with even less powerful CPU. For him it was also the speed of the hard drive which limited how fast his laptop worked.

  • Seeking Laptop Recommendations For Video Editing On-The-Go (Around $1,000)

    Hi there,
    I am seeking recommendations for a laptop great for video editing. I am a YouTuber with an on-the-go lifestyle.
    Budget is $1,000ish.
    I need to be able to physically lock the laptop with one of those holes on the side.
    I want to be able to multi-task well by having a variety of programs open at once.
    Thanks for the help.

    Well that is a tall request   Take a look at this factory refurbished starter unit.  I acquired a similar refurbished unit just a year ago and upgraded it with more RAM and SSD drives.  The upgrade process is extremely simple.  You could start with the unmodified unit and as you run into performance problems upgrade gradually.  My laptop is now editing three camera timelines of AVCHD 1920 x 1080 with ease.  I now have 24 GB of RAM and got rid of the 1 TB 5400 rpm by cloning it to a 128 GB SSD drive and adding a second very good SSD in the available port.  Removing one screw gives you full access to do this.  Here is a picture of the bottom of my laptop.
    Edit, I just checked and it does have a Kensington security slot
    You do realize that the only way to do video editing is to have the laptop AC powered.

    Next, try changeing a setting in your video player program.   Increase a setting labeled "video buffering" or "network buffering".   (This setting is usually measured in "seconds" -  try 30 seconds or more)  This will increase the amount of video that is transmitted to your laptop before the video begins playing, and this should improve the video play.   Now try to view the videos wirelessly.  Does this fix the problem? 
    If this does not fix the problem, then we will need a bit more information.
    Download a large file from the internet (at least 15 M bytes).  How long does it take when you are connected by wire?  How long when done wirelessly?
    Please report the file size and download times.
    Also, please state your operating system (Windows XP, Windows 98SE, OS X, etc.)
    Also, if possible, please state your wireless card.
    Can you tell if there are other people in your neighborhood running networks, and if so, can you tell what channels they are using?
    What is your DSL (or cable) line speed?
    Have videos ever worked correctly wirelessly with your current setup?
