Re: Recommended PC build for XAVC S-I 4K video editing?

Question has been asked but what software?

With Resolve a current I5 can edit HEVC 4.2.2 reasonably well. You need the GPU for things like NR,magic mask or the new depth mask. But just decoding the IGPU can handle HEVC and more.

If your problem is 4.2.2 and you have time the obvious answer is to transcode to something easier to edit. You could build a small system around an I5 just to transcode and edit on your current box. Or you could even get a laptop. Either will be cheaper than a 3080TI.

If you have lots of time just transcode on your current system. Convert the files to DNX. All done. No cash outlay. Just some time before every job.
