this topic will stay evergreen .nice video.
Thanks it all makes sense to me now!!!!
I think i am fine with my pc specs and i won’t buy external drives because i will not do 4k editing or such.
720p – 1080p is fine for me
Thnx
All I know is that a 6yr old computer is not ideal for editing
hey guys, i’m 14 years of age and i live in Leicester England. I have been editing for about 5 years of my life using mainly premier pro and i have been doing graphics for longer than that using Photoshop. I don’t want money, I want experience. Have you got anything that i cold help with, maybe try me out of a previous videos files or give me a random task to do to test my ability, all if you are not interested in trusting me instantly (which I completely understand!) hope to hear from u guys, really love the content…been subbed since 500!
Good refresher. Haven’t played with computer stuff for 15-20 years and now I need an entry-level thing for 1080 editing.
I’m subscribing right now.
INSTA SUB! Amazing video! I was looking for weeks to buy a new laptop for editing. What are your thoughts on this Dell laptop? https://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/laptops/new-alienware-area-51m/spd/alienware-area51m-r2-laptop/n00aw51mr210?view=configurations&configurationid=b58841de-22a3-46db-9d25-1f5a07d6085a
Thank you for making this…
My brain is pretty fried from watching…
I just want to use AE to make Instagram edits and I have no idea what to buy/ do ;.;
Thank you!
I want a laptop that is able to do at least 1080p for video editing like making vlogs and around 300-600 anything available within that budget ?
You’ve got great contents, so maybe you might need to adjust you tittles a bit more, so the algorithm could push your videos to the top in search results… Or something. 👍
Great tips for a newbie like me who is host going into the world of video editing.. thanks a lot👍🏽
You mentioned using external HDs, what size would you recommend for each? You said keep 100GBs open.
How do you add an external ssd to the cache Ed?
Thanks Mate.
I am about to enter into video editing as hobby, editing kids and family video for youtube so I can share with other distance family. For portability I am thinking about to buy laptop that is – 17.3 in Screen, i7-8Core, 32GB 2666 Ram, nVidia Geforce RTX 2060 OR 3060 (both 6GB VRAM), 1TB SSD for OS and 1TB SSD for caches and project files. Would that be good enough to edit 1080P and possibly 4K ?
Alternative is; Thinking of future proof so I don’t have to buy another for 7-10 years, if I have to go for 64GB RAM and NVME 3200R/W Storage x 2, and even upping VRAM to RTX3070 8GB, which will cost of extra £500+ all together , would that be worth? or First paragraph configuration is enough?
Or would you advise for Desktop ? I didn’t see price different when I have to buy high spec computer so wanted to opt in for laptop however I am open to desktop if that is superior to laptop since Desktop hardware and laptop hardware are made different.
Your advise will be highly appreciated.
Tysm! Gave so much great info. Exactly what I needed.
Thank you for this well done video.
U are a very informative person. I’m going to subscribe 😉

i’ve been searching for a long time , im just an instagram editor and i normally use video star. but i want to make edits with after effects. and i have no idea what enough. is 8gb would be enough ? i’ll be glad if you answer :,)
Looks like someone was burning 😅
Very helpful
wish I saw this 3 months ago.. spend 50K on a proper editing PC for the office
