Frequently Asked Questions

Why Intel i7 instead of AMD for video editing?

Intel Core processors feature Intel QuickSync, which provides hardware-accelerated decoding and encoding for H.264/HEVC 10-bit 4:2:2 footage commonly shot on modern mirrorless cameras.

How much RAM do I need for 4K editing?

32GB is the sweet spot for smooth 4K scrubbing in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. For heavy After Effects compositions, 64GB is recommended.
