Ok, so what I read out of that is, it is more sensible to invest more ressources in a thick i9 processor than in a nvidia quadro or amd w 7100 or 8100.

What (4k able) GPUs would you commend when I go for a huge cpu and would not focus on gpu?

I would beat two birds with one stone with such a configuration, because my musical composing work is likewise cpu based.

In my heavy Desperation I tried to create a new profile, because nothing else worked. The profile was seemingly corrupted. I new profile worked. Don´t ask me why^^

I found a way to convert the footage from 4k to hd (mpeg4), than transcode to dnxhd185. that works good with ama.

Yes you are right. My system is out of date and that causes a lot of problems. I´ m just planing and calculating an new maschine. I just wanted to wait for that moment that I am good enough to be book from my customer for the first jobs (on his system). So I have a real reason to spend money for a new system.
I guess I will be so far in 1 or 2 weeks.

Thanks Glenn,

well yes I tried resolve but I have some problems. I installed down the versions to 12.5. That version works with the system, but there is one big problem.

The stuff I import to transcode in resolve is 4k. Resolve answers by draging sth in the time line to transcode with „gpu memory is full“. Ok, I can go further but by clicking that away. The thumbnails resolve shows me are in colerful snow and when I transcode the file I have that snow mixes with pink and purple silhouttes of the content in my file. Nothing I could use in that way. I‘m not sure whether I did sth wrong or the problem is with resolve. If resolve would feed that damn footage, that would be a briliant solution. I tried mxf op1aand it does not work with ama, but it worked with import really fast.

Hi Shane, thanks a lot!

Yes, I´ m aware of the fact, that this is an old version. But I worked in the audio departmend for years now an I trie to “expand” to video editing. One of my favorite customers uses MC6 until now. So that is a good compromise to get started with MC6. (Cheep version that runs on my system) I am absolutely aware, that this is nothing for future like this is now. This is just for teaching myself.
I have a dell xps 420 with an intel quad core 2.4Ghz q6600 and an amd HD4890. and 8GB Ram. Yes this is an out of date machine, but when the step into that section is successful I buy an up to date machine. But now i am more in the situation of getting experience an learn to know what equipment I will need in the future and what not.

I was thankful for getting that amount of stuff. so, ok, once again, I have to learn. 264 is not good for editing, what shall I take better? 265? What do you think in my momentary situation, how shall I convert that 4k stuff in a way that my mc6 could cope with that? Ideally with AMA, so that I can skip “import” or transcode.

Thanks
