i5 4460 for Video Editing

[Francisè von Spitroast]

Is it going to hold me back for 4K editing? I don't mind if things take forever to export, but if it's slow to edit it drives me nuts. Will it hold me back in that regard? Filmora 9 only seems to use 30% to 70% going up and down randomly even when idle with a project. Mostly near the 30-50% though.

Yes it will hold you back for 4k editing.

Aight thanks.

Well most of the video editors have an option to scale the preview to improve performance. If I can edit stuff with my i5-2500 just fine - you're likely to be fine as well.

If someone tells you it will hold you back without explaining, dont listen. Your 4460 will do fine, just as Snow said.

Editing itself doesnt take so much resourcess of the CPU. Depending on the size of your files a SSD and more RAM can speed up things.

Encoding or Rendering afterwards howeer will take ages. Most programs are heavily CPU Core depending as well as RAM depending. Also makes a difference or depends on if you encode with CPU or GPU.

Sorry I'm not familiar with the terms. So whilst editing the video, and not waiting the time it takes to export it, what are the components than handle that side of things mostly? I don't mind if I have to wait ages for the video to export but if it stutters and stuff whilst editing that really bugs me.

Thanks guys!

lol., i used to encode my old dvd to x264
using i3-530 + 9800GT 1GB DDR3= 1dvd per 9+ hours
using i3-3240 + gtx 960 2GB GDDR5 = 1 dvd per 2+ hours

i can only imagine that most modern hardware (cpu + gpu) will likely lessen encoding times

Okay, so encoding means the same as exporting essentially? As in not editing but when the video's done and you're exporting?

imo, video edit is just manipulation of video into one form or another or just plain cutting, mixing, or exporting to another device or format as the user see fit.

my video edit:
house dvd (4.5GB) to x264 mp4 720p (1GB), x265 mp4 720p (600-800MB)
i did not include commentaries

if you are the type who 'masters' videos, then more likely than not, it will consume a lot of time, depending on contents.
i read somewhere that professionals who do this spend about 10+ hours per 1 dvd data.

little bit more complicated.
exporting means that you change the orginal format of the video. The multiple factors that include that like changing resolution down to make the file smaller like (downscaling) the video. Changing the codex to make the file size smaller (encoding).

Highly depends ont he program you sue and what Hardwrae you have. A 4K 60 FPS clip (90 minutes) I re-render with encoding and downscaling it to 1080p 30 fps in about 1h.
