Rob, I couldn’t find an email address for you, so is this okay to use as a quote from you?
“video editor Rob Ainscough takes a different approach: he builds his own PCs, using multiple systems to share the workload. “I run 4 computers and run headless Resolve/Fusion workstations for projects I can run in the background while I continue to work… I’ve never needed more than 64GB RAM, but I buy the best RAM timing options available for 64GB (2X32GB modules DDR5) It’s important to know a key factor … the “time is money” factor. Any of those options you listed will work, just more slowly … for example, if you have a project that takes 1 hour to render out in one of those computers, you could easily drop that down to 15 minutes on a faster computer. If you do this day in and day out, that’s A LOT of time saved (or time earned pending how you want to look at it).”
I also added links to Resolve and Adobe Workspace Fusion. Plus, is there anywhere specific you would like me to link to for your name? I couldn’t find a company or other link for you other than your Creative Cow profile.

Mads, you make an interesting point about Adobe’s questionable strategic choices, but that goes a bit beyond the remit of my article. 😉 I had to pick something to start with, so I chose Lenovo and a couple of comparable models to discuss.
It is interesting that you describe a system with 32GB of RAM and a Threadripper Pro as “entry level”. I wanted to go beyond that and get into something more realistic for a serious/pro user. So if price was no object (wishful thinking, I know), what would you start with for a Premiere/AE workstation?

Rob, thanks for the reply. I priced them all out at about $2300 or less: there is a P620 listed in MC for that. The Dell is less, but I added more memory and 10Gb ethernet to equalize it with the others.
Interesting that you say none of them: why? Do you build your own or have another chosen system?

Ben et al, thanks: I’ll try the line technique. What I am trying to do is to do more accurate tracking of an object in a video, but the interlacing interferes with the tracking. So, I am hoping that by just using one field, I can track more accurately. I am not going to use the video for anything but this track, so I don’t care about how it looks.
