It really is a surprise! My background is stills and graphics, not video, so I’m learning. It’s only ~1 year since I first filmed and edited a TikTok in 4K and discovered how chunky the footage is!KiwiDave wrote: ↑Mon Dec 05, 2022 2:21 am Quiet chortling as I read this...
I'm genuinely surprised, that as a media creator, the need for a ferking great machine to edit multicam footage came out of the blue to you. I don't think I've been to any of my colleagues/peers offices or homes without there being a corner of it running something angry putting out enough heat to act as a substitute for Mik's log burner.
Thankfully the race to 4k, 8k, RAW video and the like seems to have slowed down a bit from a few years ago (camera sensors limiting it I think) but the worst part about all this a few years back was it was all advancing so quickly, whatever computer you bought was out of date within a year. Something to remember I think - whatever you fork out will have to have paid for itself probably faster than you think.
This has come about because I want to put some YT vids up. If it wasn’t for that I’d be more than happy filming and editing half my content on my iPhone
