Would you recommend this desktop for someone who edits videos on programs such as After Effects/ Hitfilms?

Sincere apologies for delay in answering your question, I was getting married that week! Anyway, I would recommend this computer without hesitation. I use it for programming and have a lot of software installed on it. It performs everything with ease and I love it. However, the only downside, if you could consider it that, is the OS. Win 8 has not received great reviews and I am not going to jump on that band wagon as it is quite easy to get used to. But, Windows 8 is not yet fully supported with any existing ahrdware you may want to connect to this machine. Other than that, get yourself one of these!

I don't use any video edit programs, so the only thing I can suggest is to try it. Good luck. I do love the Envy H8, and with my high speed internet (7-8 Mbs), it moves along quite nicely.

Absolutely, this baby has 16gb of RAM, a speedy processor and plenty of HDD, I got two of these for software test automation at work and going to get one for home too... .

The computer is great now after the mother board was replaced. My experience with Amazon was absolutely terrible. they didn't stand behind the product at all. NOT AT ALL!! HP came through for me in the end

This machine has enough RAM and graphics for editing videos. However, I would get a machine with the new 4th generation processor, Haswell. Mine has the 3rd generation.

:) As long as you are not doing major gaming or video editing you will be fine. I am curious about the inability to add ram on the U120's though. That seems like a stupid move considering the U100's were great for their flexibility, eg. Various upgrade options including ram, ability to run windows 7, OSx86, and various others. Is this confirmed or just rumor? I was about to buy one but that is a bit of a deal breaker for me.

The only thing I have not tried on this Laptop is Video Editing. I have done everything else with no problems. Hope this answers your question.

I doubt it would be good for your purposes. It's OK at 1080p but can bog down/stutter at times with a LOT of rapidly moving objects on screen - such as some parts of Guardians of The Galaxy. As for video editing - it could work .. but it sounds like you need a more robust card.

Yes! It works EXCELLENT with design programs. I edit videos and photographs and it runs so smoothly with the programs.

Honestly, I've had nothing but issues since purchasing this laptop. I personally have not used it for video editing, but would not buy it for that specific purpose.

Not really sure. I don't do any video stuff. But it's a really good computer -- fast and reliable

Of cource you can. I usually use it to store and montage 4k video :) Its bloody fast!

I use Pinnacle Studio 12 ( acutally it's 12.1 - the Ultimate version ) and it works pretty well with my Quad Core computer and a good video card for editing AVCHD footage from this camera. I'm very pleased.Tony

It is a good choice for the adobe suite but i hate the hard-drive's response time. It comes with a slow 5400 rpm, which is horrible when editing high definition and the cache drive doesn't help much at all. I am definitely going to save up for a solid state, then and only then will it be a great machine.

I guess it all depends on how good of a resolution you are looking for. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it if you are to do a lot of photo or video editing, but it is in general a good and cheap touch screen monitor.

Yes, I think this will be fine for basic still photography and editing. My wife has this unit with over 40,000 photos, and PhotoShop 12 on it, and LIghtRoom as well, and it works fast and smoothly.

Most high quality video editing programs have built-in chroma key. Final Cut probably does.

It's an ideal machine. Since you're working with video, you might want to make sure the ram is maxed out if it's not already. 8 gigs is max.

This laptop is works great with programs like photoshop, running smoothly even when I use tons of high resolution layers. I have not had any experience with video editing but I do not foresee it being problematic. It has the i7 processor which is something that would be very helpful for video editing and also has the very nice GTX760 graphics card, which though not the best out there, is still not shabby and I would expect it to be at least sufficient for video editing. It also has two slots for RAM so if the 8 GB doesn't end up being enough you can replace the RAM it comes with to get up to 32 GB of RAM.

Absolutely. You won't have any trouble running 64bit Windows or apps like Photoshop CC.

I would have to say yes it would be fast enough (7200 rpm) to edit video. I use it to cut dialogue on feature films and another as a backup.
