1. Re: Current build - please critique and advise
JEShort01 Nov 28, 2014 5:39 AM (in response to digifruitella)I will make suggestions, but before I do you MUST provide more information about your media and workflow.
What is your media? (i.e. Red 4k at 120fps or AX100 at 30fps) This makes a huge difference in hardware requirement! The hardware to do the Red 4k is about twice as expensive as the second.
What is your budget? $2000, $5000, $10,000, $15000?

Jim

2. Re: Current build - please critique and advise
digifruitella Nov 28, 2014 12:57 PM (in response to JEShort01)No I will mainly be working with GH4 4K footage, but if possible, I'd love to have the flexibility of working with Red as well, but Red isn't a priority. For now it's mainly to be able to work fast with GH4 4K and be able to export the project quite fast. I'm willing to spend at least $2000 on the main components: CPU, Mobo, Graphics Card, Ram (probably not even including the SSD's / storage) But I'd be happy to spend 2K on an entire build if it will give me what I need since I'm not generally going to be working with RED, or Alexa footage.

jsm1963 Nov 30, 2014 11:24 AM (in response to JEShort01)Any real advantage to having two SSDs? Most builds I see in this forum only seem to have one.

ECBowen Dec 1, 2014 10:49 AM (in response to jsm1963)Having an SSD for the OS and 1 for cache and far more uncompressed media such as DNG is often required now days. It really depends on the workflow. Also AE ache works far better on an SSD and I honestly would put most comps there as well if you have 1.
