Would there be a disadvantage to using Windows 7 Ulitmate for a high powered Editing Machine?

Shucks I just realized… Had I known that I would have built the mini system I was specing out. Only reason I went with the larger motherboard & case was to have flexibility so I could update in future to two graphics cards :/ None the less very good to know ☺

Was the 64 GB of memory beneficial? Did it help with dynamic ram previews? Why so much memory? I had thought of buying another two DIMMs to have a total of 64 GB.

Thanks for the help clarifying Windows versions. I’ll have to jot down your notes for my next build ????

My hope with this build is it hack out:

1080p ProRes and NDxHD editing / color grading from my Atomo Ninja 2
1080p RAW from Magic Lantern (on rare occasion).
4k h.264 & h.265 from DJI Mavic Drone

I’m running SVP 14 and the free version of Davinci Resolve.

I’m not exactly sure which graphic card I have. Only that it is 7000 series Radeon. I threw away the boxes. I had bought it form a guy mining bitcoin. All I knew is it made a night and day difference in SV timeline playback on my old system. I assumed with this build my next big purchase would need to be a new graphics card… Or two for the system but sounds like the processor I selected might not do well with two graphics cards?

Yeah I had thought about adding the effect in the final render. I actually have the stand alone version of Mercalli ProDad as well but it only outputs in two or three formats and makes for a HUGE project folder when you stabilize as they do not compress much. I have not known how to tell their tech staff… but they are frustrating. I have wrote them twice now with similar responses.

Finally pulled the trigger on the purchase. I bought all the parts minus a fancier graphics card. I think I will use my old one for time being. Was just getting way to choppy with new 4k footage I get and am upgrading my DSLR with an Atomos Ninja ☺

My current machine has Windows 10 Pro. However, I’m not sure I can transfer it as it was the free upgrade. I’m curious, what is the different between Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro? Do both support the functionality needed (e.g. how much memory can they access, how many cores do they support etc). I googled but found little info on this. Am I okay running a editing machine on Windows 10 Home?

FYI ~ Specs on new Machine:

i7 6800k 6 cores
Asrock x99M killer 3.1
Deep Cool 240EX Liquid Cooler
Samsung 950 pro 512gb M.2 PCIe
Cosair Carbide 9011070 Case
32GB DDR4 PC4-1700 Cas15 – This is a bit of a pooch but was 30% cheaper than latency of 13. Hopefully it’s fine.

Reuse:
2TB 7200 RPM capture scratch (wanted to get a 1 TB SSD but figured I’ll wait a little bit).
ATI Radeon 7900 (someday might replace with two GPU(s) but we’ll see how this unit works).

Oh wow that’s a bit less expensive. I’m thinking about snagging one… Which size did you get? It’s a bit pricey yet for the TB+ ones.

I’m also trying to find an EIA 19″ PC case. I have a small server setup in my house to run everything and might put the PC in there with a terminal in my office to run everything.

Curious has anyone played with these Intel PCIe SSD solutions? They look like a beast of a drive, https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-750-series-ssd,4096.html

Might have to add them to my dream build 🙂

I’m fairly new to this 🙂 Probably I don’t know how to shoot / edit raw quite perfectly yet?

Although, Log is a way of storing images that allows more data to be saved in the highlights so you can more easily edit. At least that’s what I understand.

Thanks Warren, unfortunately, I’m PC only. Seems Mac is gaining steam and the platform of choice for video now days. I tried raw2dng however, you have to do it clip by clip which takes time when I get 50 clips or more in a shoot.

I see RawMagic and have fingers crossed they come out with a PC version 🙂

I’m getting some KILLER shots with the RAW ML hack however, I see they quickly become strattified (not sure if that’s the correct word). Where I can see resolution of A2D sensor being blown out as I get empty spaces in signal as I pull up highlights and adjust gain.

BlagMagic shoots in Log? From what I understand that’s got more tolerance for such tweaking?

That’s a good tip. Don’t believe I have the player on there…

Curious, my next challenge is grading the footage… or at least getting a baseline / starting point where I can use LUTs. Do you know of any for the 5dmii? I’ve not seen too many googling (perhaps I’m an ignoramus).
