I'm currently trying something out in video editing. I have a laptop with an Intel i7 4710MQ processor and 2GB VRAM, as well as 16 GB RAM (2 * 8GB RAM). I've already tested DaVinci Resolve, Shotcut and Hitfilm Express. At first all programs ran smoothly, but after a while all three programs stuttered a lot. I divide with either 1080p 60fps, or 1080p 29.97fps. Now my question: Does anyone have an idea how I can cut smoothly with these programs, or does someone know a program that I can cut smoothly with my technology.
And for those who wonder why I want to cut smoothly: I'm a little YouTuber / Tiktoker and have already done several making-offs for companies, where unfortunately I was only able to cut by sound. Now I want to be able to cut professionally and according to video.
The hardware is too weak. It's best to get a desktop PC and a CPU with more than 4 cores.
The graphics card doesn't have to be good, something in the range of 200 euro is enough. CPU and RAM are most important. A large SSD isn't wrong either.
First Danke:-) Would you have an idea where I can get such a cheap PC?
In the current situation, cheap is difficult. It should be at least a Ryzen 7 3700, a GTX 1050Ti is sufficient as a graphics card
This is quite normal with your weak hardware, the more extensive your processing, the more computing power is required, unfortunately you do not have this computing power.
If you want to edit professionally, you also have to know that you can also work with proxy files, because that demands less computing power from your arithmetic servant.
All of the three programs you mentioned are proficient in proxy technology.
The alternative would be to buy a new, better computer with a dedicated graphics card.
If it runs smoothly at the beginning and then jerks, the m.M.n. As a result, the entire video can't be kept in RAM / Cache.
For my modest requirements and the 3D possibilities, I cut with Blender.
Blender shows how much of the video data could be loaded into the cache. So far, the CPU has been sufficient even without GPU support to be able to display cuts and effects quickly. Since it never jerked when the data could be loaded into the cache, I never paid attention to the displayed FPS.
Only when rendering, i.e. Creating the output video, does the CPU and GPU play a role when formats are changed, FPS changed or 3D graphics are added. Before I buy a new computer, however, I would rather increase the memory depending on the expected video file size.
