Test this and Google Export settings video tutorials. In other projects, this will not give any better quality, just slowing down the render speed. There are so many small tweaks for speeding up rendering, but many of them depend on type of project.Įxample is in your export settings Obvious would be "Use Maximum Render Quality", but that is only for certain projects. The other problem is with our low quality microphone, but I'll bring that up in a different post so as to not blur anything. I love building computers and find this an interesting upgrade. Now with two big monitors, she's getting greedy with wanting a third one Me? I'm greedy because I hate the time it takes to export these things. How she could edit using Premiere Pro with the screen bouncing all over the place amazed me, but the final edits weren't bad. Plus we had the wrong tripod on that tripĪ year later, I built an NLE machine since the laptop just wasn't cutting it. Our production has gone up bigtime after getting the second one for closeups. Quality wise, it was horrible since we only had one camera at that time. Our first video was shot on location at a campground. So on a narrow budget, we got two cameras, three lights and two tripods, and a wireless microphone. Someone responded with links to Amazon for the Panasonics, a soft box light, tripods, etc. Well, she posted on here two years ago asking what we need. We do competition BBQ and chili contests. I met her knowing she could only cook omlettes and pizza (she worked at a pizza place in high school). My wife and I have a cooking show on youtube called Amy Learns to Cook since she can't hardly cook anything. Power Supply - Corsair Pro Series AX 850 Watt 80 Plus Gold My goal is to replace my WD HDDs in 3-4 years (or sooner) depending upon how fast the bigger SSDs come down in price.ĬPU - i7-3930K CPU - G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3 2133Ĭ drive - 500 GB Samsung 840 SSD (Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and programs).ĭ drive - four 1 TB WD RE4 Enterprise HDDs 7200 RPMs in software RAID 5ĬPU Fan - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO with 120 mm fan The proposed RAID card is actually 12 GB/s per channel, which is overkill for now, but is future proofing since it doesn't cost much more than the 6 GB/s cards that seem to be reaching their limit with some of the current SSDs. I'm assuming the onboard SATA controllers, especially the Marvell are not that good and taxing the CPU (RAID 5) that is needed to encode/decode HD files is not good either. We store our projects on the RAID 5 until I back them up and remove them from the RAID. My RAID 5 (D drive) is obviously slow on software RAID and would hopefully speed up using HW RAID.Īt this point, I'm hoping adding the RAID card and SSDs would speed up the editing, and the RAID card would speed up the HDDs (somewhat) without needing to dump them right now and spend $$$ for many, many SSDs. Since the Samsung's are rated for sequential reads/writes MB/s, I was thinking I could get near 1 GB/s read and 800 MB/s write in RAID 0. A horrible laptop previously used would take 2-3 hours to export a video, so this is much better, but I'm wondering if it can be faster? We've edited about 125 videos over the last 2 years with the bulk on this machine. I've read the adobe forum's generic disk setup and wondered how many of you actually follow that. I am thinking of getting a LSI 9361-8i RAID card (comes with 1GB cache) and 4 Samsung 850 PRO 128 GB SSDs (run two pair in RAID 0) for projects, media cache, previews and exports if necessary. Since my CPU never pegs out at 100% on all cores and my GPU maxes out at 25% "occasionally" (and only 600 MB video RAM is used), I am assuming my I/O is horribly slow and needs something major to change. At the bottom are the specifics of our NLE video rig. A five minute video 10-15 minutes to export. Most exports take 2x length of finished video on the timeline, thus a 15 minute video will generally export in 30-40 minutes. We use jump cuts and some cross dissolves (? like fading) between clips. Intermittent music joins the two video streams and 1 mono voice track that we edit to make fake stereo. Between A roll and B roll, we have 5-10 GB of footage. We use a pair of Panasonic HCV700K camcorders to record a cooking show. Strangely, copying big files around the data drive seems ok, but wondering if my system isn't exactly balanced and the best way to increase I/O if my CPU/GPU aren't working as hard as they should. Our video exports start out 'fast' and quickly slow down, thus first 10% seems to take a minute or less and by the time we're at 50%, it seems 10 minutes or more has gone by and to get to 60% from there takes another 10 minutes and the last 20% seems to take 20 minutes or more. For anyone out there that uses it, I'd appreciate your thoughts.
