Need a laptop that has more speed or whatever I need for editing videos

I  currently have a HP  windows 7 Home Premium laptop.  It has Pentium Dual core 2.30 ghz,  3.00 GB Ram.   64-bit oper. system.  I use Pinnacle to edit and create DVD's for my daughters volleyball matches.  It seems as though my laptop just don't have enough speed or power or something to run Pinnacle very well.  It plays the files I bring in to slow hard to do any editing.  I have used my laptop in the past for Pinnacle so I know it is able to run it, but now it just seems to be slow.  I am considering getting a new laptop if I have to.  But if I just need to upgrade my current one that would be great.  My daughter just got a MacBook and she loves it, she tells me that is what I should get,  any thoughts would be great.   Thanks

I use Pinnacle and yes can see a significant speed difference on my dual core and quad core machine.  7200rpm drives, even better.  You didn't mention your RAM, you can see benefits there too.
When I went looking for new video editing machine, I just picked up an ASUS ROG machine.  Gaming machines will be designed for the CPU's to be maxed out and fast hard drives.
If you plan to do a lot of video editing, do some research on Matrox MXO2 with your new machine.  Plugged into your laptop and using Premiere, it can render your footage faster than real-time with hardware acceleration.  Not cheap, but the hours it saves may justify your needs.

    It looks like the CD is damaged.  You could try copying the entire CD on to your hard disk in a temporary folder and then launch the setup.exe file by double clicking on it.
    Can you do this?  Please post back.
    Whether 5 can run in Windows 7 is something I don't know.  You just have to try it.

  • How much external disk space is needed for editing HD video?

    If I'm using FCE:
    1) How much external disk space is needed for editing HD video:
    if I downloaded 150mins of HD video? and
    do editing with it which will have an output of 120mins.
    Now PC, going to a MAC user soon   Windows XP  

    Hi(bonjour)!
    As a rule of thumb for HDV editing, use those numbers:
    12 to 15 meg/second for capturing ( your project is 150 minutes long, so 780 meg/minute, or 117 to 125 Gig).
    If you do any editing, add transition, video effect, add 12 to 15 meg /second to the total.
    As your project will have to be rendered for the print to tape operation, calculate 12 to 15 meg/second for all the length of your final movie. Add this amount to the total. (example: a 60 minutes movie : 49 Gig).
    If you want to burn a DVD on your Mac, calculate 3 to 4 meg/second for downconversion to DV material if you check "self-contained" in quicktime export dialog. (example: your finished project is 60 minutes long : 10.8 Gig)
    iDVD itself needs 3 to 4 times this amount if you want flawless operation.
    Finally, if you use your internal hard disk for all this storage (it's not a good idea to capture on the same drive where Mac OS X belongs), your Mac OS needs some spare room to breath (doing caching, etc), and your hard drive must have a least 25% of free space to avoid file's fragmentation.
    As hard drive's price drop, get the maximum size you can afford. 250 Gig is a good choice if you want to do just one project of 90 to 150 minutes at the time.

  • In Music, sometimes an album that has more than one artist, only one shows up, how do I get them all that are all on the album to play in sequence when I select that album?

    I can't figure out why, on my ipod touch in Music, when I select some albums that have more than one artist, the whole album doesn't come up to play all together.  This happens in some compilations, and only ne song shows up from each artist on the album.  Or like on an artist's album that has someone else singing with her.  I get that they are on the same line as an artist, but the album is an album, and when you play an album, the whole thing should play - right?  Thanks for your help!

    Generally all you need do is give tracks from the same album a common Album Artist. See Grouping tracks into albums. The images need an update but the basic info. still holds.

  • How to insert a detail record that has more than one master record

    I have a somewhat complex situation that I am triying to figure out. I have three tables A, B and C. Table C is a detail table that has a foreign key to table A and table B. There are is nothing else in table C (basically it's used to create a many to many relationship between A and B.
    Now I have a application module method that based on some user provided data needs to insert records in tables A and B and link them using table C. I have view links (and associations) between A and C as well as B and C. I can easily go from A and insert (via the view link accessor) a record into C. My problem is that I don't know how to the take that same C row and add it to B as a detail.
    I have kinda hacked it by creating a row in B, using postChanges to get it's primary key ID and set the attribute directly in C. It works but I was hoping to find a way to avoid calling postChanges possibly hundreds of times in a loop. I also cannot commit the AM until the process is completed.
    I tried setting the "composition association" on both associations but that didn't work either.
    Thanks

    I'm not sure if this helps, but here's a web page which talks about Image I/O:
    http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai/iio.html
    For your problem, they have a sample solution which can read a specific page of a multi-page tiff file, so perhaps you could make a loop to read all of the pages:

    I am trying to create a web service proxy in JDeveloper using JAX-WS for an OAM web service from a WSDL (identity/oblix/WebServices/CompositeWebServices/WSDL/um_view_interface.wsdl). I received the following error when I try to run the proxy:

    The expected request body would look like this, there are two elements under the body:

  • How do you import a video file that has extension gp into i movie.  also rotating video

    How do you import a video file that has the extension gp into ivmovie?  Also how do you rotate a video . (the video was taken from a phone.)

    Hi, your video file needs to be converted to eg. a .mov or .mp4 file before iMovie will recognise. I use 4Media MP4 converter and it works excellent.
    For the rotating I do not have an answer, but if you would manege you would end up with a very narrow image either way.

  • Is there a printer that has on-demand auto on-off capability for the mac

    Is there a printer that turns on automatically when you select print for a document that works with  a mac. I used to have an old Canon i960 printer with my Windows PC and it was configurable in software for on demand on-off when printing a document.
    Does anyone know of one preferably multifunction photo inkjet.
    Thanks in advance
    Dave

    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but a printer must be consuming a little electricity for it to sense and respond to a command to turn on and print. Therefore, I suggest you forget buying a new printer with this feature and simply leave the printer you already have on all the time.
    Just a thought!

  • Disk configuration and workflow help needed for lab video workstation

    Hi All,
    Setting up a video editing workstation for a research lab that will use Premeire to edit AVCHD Progressive clips (sometimes with 2 streams side-by-side, but usually single-camera) and export them to .mp4 for later viewing by video coders. We won't be using AfterEffects or adding anything to the videos other than some text (titles, maybe sub-titles).
    The other purpose of this workstation is to act as a file server and backup system for other machines in the lab. Coders will be viewing the exported videos via other networked machines and working with Microsoft Office files that will be stored on the workstation's other HDDs. I'll have a physical backup drive and cloud backup via CrashPlan.
    I've built a machine that is probably overkill, but the client (my wife) wanted it to be "fast," and the purpose of the machine might change in the future:
    i7-4770K (overclocked a bit)
    16GB RAM
    Asus Z87-Pro
    GeForce GTX 660
    I have the OS (W7) and programs on a 256 GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD and currently have two 1TB Velociraptors to use for the Premiere workflow. I'm trying to figure out how to proceed with the purchase of the rest of the drives, and I want to keep the Premiere drives separate from the large storage drives from the lab that are networked and synced to cloud backup.
    Following the recommendations for a three-disc configuration I've picked up on these forums, I could set it up like this:
    C: (256GB SSD) (OS, programs, pagefile)
    D: (1TB HDD) (media, projects)
    E: (1TB HDD) (previews, media cache, exports)
    F: (4TB HDD) (backups of media, projects, and exports and storage of other research files)*THIS DRIVE WOULD BE SHARED ON THE NETWORK
    G: (4TB external HDD) (backup of F & drive that backs up to CrashPlan)
    but it seems that would be a waste of the speed of the second 10k velociraptor. If I added another SSD and RAIDed the Velociraptors it would be:
    C: (256GB SSD) (OS, programs)
    D: (Two 1TB Velociraptors in RAID 0) (media, projects)
    E: (256GB SSD) (media cache, pagefile)
    but would I then need to add another dedicated HDD for previews and exports, or could I store those on the networked F: from above (which would be previews, exports, backups of media and projects, and storage of other research files) without taking a speed hit?
    It seems overkill to have a dedicated drive for exports and previews (let's make that the new F:), then have them copy to the first 4TB drive (now G:), then back that up to the second 4TB drive (now H:), then back that up to CrashPlan. However, people might be accessing that network drive at any time, and I don't want that to slow any part of the video process down.
    I appreciate any advice ya'll can give me!

    Hi Jim,
    Thanks for the encouraging response. I'm leaning toward the non-SSD option at this point. 
    To make sure I understand, are you suggesting I try using the Velociraptor Raid 0 in the 2 disk configuration suggested by Harm's Guidelines for Disk Usage chart? Like this:
    C: (256 GB SSD) (OS, Programs, Pagefile, Media Cache)
    D: (1TB x2 in RAID 0) (Media, Projects, Previews, Exports)?
    Where I'm still confused there, and in looking at Harm's array suggestions for 5 or more drives, is how performance is affected by having simultaneous read/write operations happening on the same drive, which is what I understood was the reason for spreading out the files on multiple drives. Maybe I don't understand how Premiere's file operations work in practice, or maybe I don't understand RAID 0 well enough.
    In the type of editing we'll be doing (minimal) aren't there still times when Premiere will be trying to read and write from the D: drive at the same time, for example during export? Wouldn't the increased speed benefits of RAID 0 for either read or write alone be defeated by asking the array to do both simultaneously?
    Maybe the reason the Media Cache is on the SSD in the above configuration is because that is what will be read while writing to something like Exports? But that wouldn't make sense given Harm's chart, which has the Media Cache also located on the array....
    Another question is, given that the final home of the exported videos will be on the big internal drive (4TB) anyway, could I set it up like this:
    C: (SSD) (OS, Programs, Pagefile, Media Cache)
    D: (2TB RAID 0) (Media, Projects, Previews)
    E: (network shared 4TB HDD) (Exports + a bunch of other shared non-video files)
    so I don't end up having to copy the exported videos over to the 4TB drive? Do you think it would render significantly faster to the RAID than it would to the 7200 rpm 4TB drive? I'd like to cut out the step of copying exported videos from D: to E: all the time if it wasn't necessary.
    Thanks again.

  • Which of these 2 laptops would be my best choice for editing video?

    I am going to get a new laptop mainly to use for LR and PS but I also want to be able to edit video.  Which of these 2 laptops is my best option...
    ASUS ROG G751JT-CH71
    Intel Core i7-4710HQ 2.5 GHz
    16 GB DDR3
    1000 GB 7200 rpm Hard Drive
    17.3-Inch Screen, Nvidia GTX970M 3GB GDDR5

    Acer Aspire V17 Nitro Black Edition VN7-791G-730V
    Intel Core i7-4720HQ Processor (2.6 GHz)
    16 GB DDR3 RAM
    1 TB 5400 rpm Hard Drive, 256 GB Solid-State Drive
    17.3-Inch Screen, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M
    Windows 8.1, 4-hour battery life
    Additionally, if you feel there is a better choice for $1500 or less, I would love to hear that advice as well.  I would really appreciate your help in making this decision.  Thanks!

    Of the 2 the Asus everyday. You won't notice the difference in the CPU's but you will more so with the GPU's as the 970 is a decent step up from the 860m. Add in extra SSD/HDD and RAM (I believe it goes up to 32GB but check), and see if they have allocated the 16GB as 2x8GB sticks or 4x4GB sticks.
    Other option I would suggest looking at a custom PC builder such as Cyberpower, Xotic or other (no affiliations, heck I don't even live in the same country). You will be able to get a much more tailored system with a better upgrade path within your budget. You will get better CPU, better GPU, RAM options up to 32GB and more flexible drive and msata combinations and most importantly some flexibility with the way the system is configured. Some are re-brands of popular gaming laptops, some are from the more custom line of chassis and some are just tweaked versions of your off the shelf names. Plus you don't have to crack the thing open to replace drives etc. that you are paying for but won't use due to slow speeds and the warranty implications that can come from doing this
    Not saying buy this as you need to shop around and find what suits you best but as an example this is from Xotic.
