I have been trying for a week to get the Shuttle USB to work on my P9X76WS with a 3930 processor. I first tried it with the built in USB 3.0 controller. It would show up and work from about 5-25 seconds and then the screen froze. Recently, I installed a USB 3.0 controller (sonnet tech from B&H) with the updated renesas driver and firmware. Now the shuttle doesn’t show up at all. Did you have any of these issues. Any help would be great.

That helps a lot. I don’t do much color correction. I do white balance every individual video I shoot so maybe a instance of color correction. Becuase the teachers are in front of a document camera, smartboard or projector, I do have to use the FBMN Exposure GPU pluggin in on almost every clip to fine tune the exposure.

My boss is ok with the $2900 for the computer. I just need to make sure there will not be the bottlenecks that I’m running into now. My last computer was highly suggested by a video company and has been nothing but trouble for me.

I’m fine with the speed of rendering. I will have my old computer doing that.

Thanks again. I wish there was a way I could buy you lunch.

No not a pro. I work for a professional teacher development company. We are in the process of making a video subscription site filled of 10-15 min videos of teachers leading lessons in a classroom of children. I shoot the video and edit it. The video is shot on 2 Sony HXR-MC50 cameras at the 1920 x 1080 at 24mbps.

I got the specs from numerous websites. Our company has a group that builds all our computers for us. They quoted me $2900 for that computer.

My plan is to take my current I5 and use it for rendering and any other processes so the new machine will only be used for editing.

Do you think, I think I can save the money on the SSD drive and just get another fast internal drive for OS and Vegas.

Thanks for the advice guys. The reason I asked about the turnkey system is becuase I have no clue about building a PC. What do you think about the videoguys specs for the DIY9 system.

This looks like a page that I could send to a PC builder and get a quote.

Sorry to be a pain. I bought my current turnkey computer less than a year ago and have had problems with it since. The place I bought it suggested that I go to proxy editing. I’m just trying to avoid that.

Thanks Jeff. That helps a lot. I was woried that I was going to have to move over to the MAC platform.

Do you know of any companys out there that build turnkey PC’s for video. I can’t seem to find a suggested computer configuration for Vegas anywhere. I have seen ADK.
