At what point do you stop at a powerful computer for video editing! I think I went way overboard,Intel Core I7-5960x cpu extreme,Geforce 980 4gb

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.

I'm now using Edius and it's the finest video editor I've seen. It far exceeds Final Cut Pro or Adobe Pro in price and I don't suppose they could perform any better, especially not on my pc. I even tried it on my laptop and it works fine, the render time is longer though.

Hello Burak, I recommend a 2.4GHz Dual or Quad-core processor or higher in order to improve your issue(if you are doing high-definition editing ie. 1920x1080 editing--if you are doing standard video editing then you processor should suffice). 4GB of RAM should suffice but it is recommended that you have a higher GHz processor. This should improve lock-ups/freezes. Vista is not the greatest operating system but there are ways around it to make it work better. Also, I recommend Corel Videostudio Pro X2 over Pinnacle anyday...I have Pinnacle Studio 12 and it definetly has more software issues then Coral has. I hope I was of some help. George

Stuff like flash (youtube) is very processor (cpu) dependent; I recently put this in an old machine which had an old intel core 2 duo e4700 and it was fine. So compare that with your own setup. It did seem like it was stuttering if anything else was running. It might be worth it to put another 10 dollars into the video card, but if all your going to be doing is running youtube video it's fine. (Although seriously consider bumping up slightly.)

This is the first generation of the Core i7 series. Yet to this day a very powerful processor. Even for process intensive task like image editing.

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.

Brett , I really haven't used it for photo / video editing. One thing I can say for sure is that it has a decent 2.4 GHz processor and good 4GB RAM with a superfast USB port.If you are comfortable using Win 8 OS (which I think is a usability irritation - pls check how Adobe and other graphics suites work with the new OS) then I think it is probably a decent laptop for the money you would spend.High end graphics editing using Adobe PS also should be possible with the Intel HD 4000 Graphics card that comes with the stock laptop.

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.

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.

I would recommend something with an i7 processor for Maya. You're going to need as much processing power as you can get.

A few months ago, I built a computer with an Intel i7-2600k, GTX 570, Asus Maximus IV Extreme and a HAF X. Best yet. It has more power by far than a Quadro 2000. As long as CS6 supports my card, I'm certain that I can run it far better with my GTX 570. If not, I'll find something that can alter the code that will let me use my 570.BTW, my 570 runs CS5.5 premiere perfectly and in realtime.Thanks :)~asuperpower

I almost never drop a frame. My config is a 3.3Ghz i3 3220 Pentium with 6G of memory running Win8. It runs about 30% cpu utilization and 3G memory when doing a VHS tape capture with Pinnacle Studio so it doesn't appear that you should be running out of computer resources. I'd start task manager and see if some other concurrent process is absorbing a lot of resources. Short of that it looks like a job for tech support.

If you plan on doing basic stuff with your computer you should be fine with the integrated video it has, BUT... if you plan on using Photoshop, editing or gaming, you should buy a video card. ( I'm a harcore gamer and i got this motherboard + EVGA GTX 670... It's a beast <3)

Ram is fine what is your processing speed and video capability that is going to have an effect on rendering

Hi.I use COREL Daraw x6 with the computer I got like this one. When I start getting heavy into graphic processing, it gets bogged down a little. If you as a little more ram it will do fine. It won't be the best thing out there but it serves my business great. There is nothing the program offers that I can't do, I just have to wait two or three minutes sometimes.

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.

For photo editing in Lightroom or Photoshop this i5 would be a little underpowered.... You'd be much better off with the i7 version. A little more money, but very worth it. I think it was around $800. Hope that helps. I'd be happy to answer any more questions if you have any.
