The CPU is BY FAR more important. Also, keep it Intel. AMD makes fine processors but NOT for video editing workstations.

Also keep in mind that there’s many factors that contribute to the performance of a video editing system. With many people moving to 4k, they think their system will be fine if they have the latest-and-greatest Intel i7, but there are other items that will be the bottleneck to smooth 4k editing. Specifically, the video drive array. You really need to have a TRUE disk drive array for 4k editing. Even the better consumer SSD drives don’t have the output performance that’s needed.

If the CPU isn’t over-clocked, liquid cooling is completely unnecessary.

And honestly, an over-clocked PC wouldn’t really give any sizeable performance over the base CPU voltage.

That’s awesome! I’m glad when fixes are simple (and cheap)!

You have liquid cooling and the system is overheating during rendering??
I would immediately contact the company you purchased it from and send it back for repairs/reconfigured.

Obviously that disk should not be used again. If it is NOT your system drive (where the OS is installed), you can download any number of data recovery tools to scan that drive, ‘pluck’ off what you need and place them on the new drive. Hopefully the bad sector is not exactly where your project file is.

Personally, I would never install a 5400rpm hard disk drive into an editing system, especially where the video files will reside.

You should at least have a 7200rpm drive, and if it’s going to be external make sure it’s USB 3.0 (and that your system has USB 3.0 ports).

I’m almost positive this is why your system is crashing.

What kind of files are you working with? Where are the video files stored, on the same hard drive as the OS and Vegas is installed?

I would not recommend using two completely different video cards. It may be a driver issue causing this.

You should only run two of the exact same video cards in a dual-card system.

You stated that your hardware specs are well suited for editing 4K video. Unfortunately, you are mistaken. Your current system hardware is what’s causing your issues. You have to have a monster system, including a high-throughput video drive away for the video files. And I don’t think your current CPU is anywhere near close enough to handle the job, sadly.

I recently put together a super-high-powered i7 system for a friend of my wife’s and she’s struggling with editing the footage from her BMPC (she went against my recommendations on what hardware to use for the system).

April 4, 2015 at 4:57 pm in reply to: Vegas Pro 12 Best Vimeo Render Settings

I upload to Vimeo regularly and use the Mainconcept 1080 for Internet option. I then increase the max and average bit rate so it’s closer to the bitrate of my original video footage, and lastly I enable two-pass rendering.

After you upload, you want to go into the video settings on Vimeo and enable 1080, since uploads default to 720 (not sure if all users have this option, but I have a Vimeo Pro account).

My Vimeo videos look fantastic by doing the above.
