I'm planning on switching from a laptop to a desktop PC, my only question is: does the CPU count the most when rendering a video or do the CPU and GPU work together? So I know if I have to put more money into a CPU or in a GPU
It depends. You can do calculations and renderings with nVidia CUDA, but you can also use the CPU. With Sony Vegas one can do that I do not select, with Adobe programs already.
Most CPU, so often the recommendation for a Ryzen 2700, which are ideally suited for video editing.
The CPU is most needed for rendering, but the GPU can support it. The GPU can also help keep the preview and scrolling on the timeline running smoothly. The CPU is more important.
