Hi John, hi all.
I use Vegas versions 8 to 11 on 32bit notebook SONY VAIO PCG 8131M,
64bit versions 12 and 13 on 4 Core Intel i7 2670QM 2,2 GHz Sandy Bridge, 16 GB DDR3, GeForce GT555M 3GB, WIN 7 and on 4 Core Intel i7 4700MQ 2,4GHz Haswell, 16 GB DDR3, ATI AMD Radeon HD8690A 2GB, SSD, WIN 10.
For short videos is OK. But now I use Boris BCC 9, green screen with Chroma Studio, make backgrounds effects and my videos are more, than 1-hour long. I make 1080p 29.97 videos with Nikon SLR camera and JVC GYHM-100E (35 mbit, MP4, XDCAM EX 35 Ver. 2). I render in Main Concept 1080p. For render 30 Minute, I need 12 hours!
I can make .MOV videos and render also to another format, but I think, it will be not better on my computers.
I will make 4K videos too. For background I will buy After Effects.
I will buy for this new machine. I read many forums Czech and German, but first here, I find very practice comments. Thanks for this. (Sorry, my English isn´t good enough.) I will buy components and these will build a professional firm. Case, PSU, Cooler… But they don´t know, what is for Vegas Pro better. I needn´t the best, but my machine must work in future.
I read here:
– 6 Core or 8 Core processor
– XEON v3, or v2, Intel i7 5960X, 4960X … thanks for link to cpubenchmark.net
Need I two video cards, John? When the MainConcept AVC encoder won’t use any card newer than the Radeon HD 6000 series. I need for quick render an old video card – Radeon HD 5870? And for edit in Vegas pro for example an R9 295 or 295X?
How many GB RAM DDR3 I need for begin and optimal?
What else is important?
Thank You for any answer. Pavel Dynzik
