how good would this be for heavy video editing

Probably depends on what you mean by "heavy". We use it for editing with Adobe Premiere Pro up to 3 camera shoots with HD footage. Our cameras are HD using SD cards and mini DVD as media. We do split the footage up into smaller sequences with the longer shoots just because it is less taxing on the computer when you are using mulitcam. We do not do a lot of effects or filters. I recommend doing all of the switching first and then applying effects.

Our company uses this for animation programs. My editor runs Sony Vegas, along with Crazy Talk and a couple of graphic/animation programs to produce 8-10 minute animated shows for our teaching program. We upgraded the video card to a Zotac GTX670 4 GB and he is please with the results.

for heavy video editing? I would have to say that you're going to need a computer with a better graphics card. This computer is all well and good for mild gaming and regular video editing however if you're going to use this computer strictly for video editing you might want one with a better graphics card

Flawless. Not many can perform flawless but I can tell you as I use it for a media production pc it runs adobe cc after effects and other adobe products exceptionally well. For the money you can't beat it's performance.

It's good for video editing and photo editing, it's not the highest quality card though. Great for everyday use though.

Depends on a few things. First, you need a good enough cpu to handle both processes. Second, if you mean just running both using the web or picture editing, you'll be fine. But games and movie editing may be a different story. This card is powerful, and AMD works well with applications, but if you're talking about gaming and high-video memory usage tasks, you may wanna up your budget some more and get a higher end nvidia card. And by the way, I use this card in my rig, so I know what it can do. Hope this helps.

If you do lots of photo or video editing, it might be worth it to spend the extra $300. Graphics are up to 4x faster with the card.

"I have not used this computer for graphics or video editing, but for everything that I have used it for (general computer use) it is fantastic. I bought this computer because my tabletop computer couldn't keep up with what I considered basic stuff like surfing the web or working in Excel or Word documents. The old computer would bog down if I had two or three programs going at once, but this laptop is lickity split. No matter how many programs I have running it has never slowed down one little bit, so I would think that it should work just fine with graphics and editing.

Not being an expert all I can say is when I bought it I consulted an expert and he said as long as I am not doing film editing this computer will work for me. It is not a quad processor, but a dual. It is however, plenty fast for me.

I think this would be a good card for video editing. My MB is PCIe 2 and this card runs flawlessly. However, the documentation for the card does state that the minimum Power Supply needed is 400W (I have a 500W, so no problems). It does take a 6 pin PCIe power plug, but the card comes with an adapter to use 2 4 pin plugs. I would recommend upgrading your power supply in addition to the card - Dell & HP tend to build their boxes with the minimum size power supply needed at the time it ships to keep the cost down (and profit up).

Absolutely. You would want to use an i5 or i7 in it. And at least 8 gig RAM. The on-board video may or may not please you for gaming, so you may have to add a decent quality Video card. This board is an excellent platform for most anything someone wants to use it for. It will depend on what CPU and RAM you put in it.

Depends on what you plan to use it for, but in general I would say lots of mini-dv tapes (run through these first or it can pose issues) a backup battery, a good sturdy tripod, an adjustable LED light (like a CN-76) with hotshoe (studio set-up is a different matter), and a video editing program of your choice on your computer (I recommend Corel Video Studio Pro for ease of use if you are just starting out).

I haven't got mine together yet but this is NOT designed for any heavy video editing or gamers. This is a budget chip with integrated graphics solution. If you edit videos, you should get a separate video card. The A6, A8 or A10 FM2 APU's can utilize dual graphics. The A4, though it is FM2 socket type, cannot utilize dual graphics.

I haven't tried using the processor for video editing. So, I don't know the answer to your question. However, I do watch youtube videos and haven't any problems. I think its a good fast processor. Have you tried reading AMD's website? Maybe, it can provide you with more insight about the processor's capabilities. I'm sorry, I couldn't provide you more information

For photo editing and stuff, i would recommend you to go for 8 gigs of ram. It really helps

It's powerful enough to handle basic video editing (chopping together home movies or YouTube videos) and could certainly handle music editing. I've played some games on it and they seem to run smoothly. It does not have a discrete graphics card, only packs 4GB of ram, and has an tiny 11" screen, so this definitely isn't a gaming laptop, but it will play your basic PC game.

There is no stopping... faster everything lets you get things done faster.... you'll be thanking yourself for getting a great computer, especially if you have to edit a lot of video. Time is valuable too and a 'slow' computer is just annoying especially rendering/compiling/outputting video. Buy the best you can afford. Plus, it sounds like a great gaming computer too if you are into that. I bought a $1500 system nearly 4 years ago... while not as powerful as yours obviously, it's still an i-7 with some upgraded geforce graphics card. A powerful computer will last a long time where a bargain computer likely will have to be upgraded regularly just to keep up with the software.

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.

I would say very good, and if you upgraded the RAM to 16 G.B. it makes it splendid.
