Best budget friendly computer for editing 4K video? Phantom 3 Pro

You'd better learn the Phantom 3 best workflow here.

This link and article is BS. You cant export and finalize 4k videos with premiere pro and after effect cs6. There just trying to sell their bull s crap converter that you can download similiar copies for free. You need to upgrade to the later premiere pro cc or latest final cut to appreciate true 4k editing.
 
It's not the editing that gets you, it's the rendering. I can edit with no problem, it's when its time to render the video to your finished movie that you need the processing power, RAM, and drive speed. A 15 minute 4K video?, I just start it and go to bed.

Haha same here. I use premiere pro cs6. Im use to doing loads of music videos with tons of effects, color grading and color correction. Just a 4 minute video easily takes 3-4 hours of rendering/finalizing.
 
I tend to edit 1080p on my iPhone 6 using iMovie on the way home if someone else is driving.
Obviously has its limitations but don't like the idea of been glued to a pc for a few hours.
That's why I'm thinking I'd be better with upgrading with an advanced than a pro and sticking with 1080p

This is a pretty amateurish response. What exactly do you edit? Why do you edit? Why do you make videos in the first place? If its just for self pleasure then fine I understand. But, if you're trying to make money, show the world and impress people with you editing skills. Then you're selling yourself really short by saying you dont feel like being glued to the computer for a few hours and only plan to render 1080p videos. Sorry. But, I take passion in my editing skills. Sitting in front of a computer for hours is an everyday thing for me and sometimes can go to the extreme of 12+ hours straight. You can clearly tell the difference of someone who edits videos on their phone/tablet. It looks like a 6 year old is editing the video. Compared to someone who is "glued to the computer for a few hours".

I guess the rest of us have lives to live!
 
As you get older and hit puberty Drewflies, I hope you'll discover there's more out there than just laptops that gives you 'boners'.

In the meantime enjoy your 12 hour a day editing, but may I suggest you check out maybe some soft porn to ease you into adulthood

Nope just calling out a loser when I see one.
 
Ahhh so you are a WINNER! Good to know. So, Mr. Winner, can you indicate where your name is on this list?

What are you his butt buddy or is this your fake duplicate account trying to look like you have friends? I simply asked what do you edit videos if you dont take it seriously. Then you jump into talking about porn and puberty? What are you one of those dudes that actually use a quadcopter to spy on kids?
 
And the other half of us make a living off this. So your point is? I guess flying around a quadcopter recording videos just for yourself is a really cool life.

My point is- you have no life, time to leave your parents basement and find it!

Wow. That's really rude.

It's fine that you "make a living off this". It's also fine that others (perhaps the majority) do it for fun. As a hobby. Same as the tons of other hobbies that people undertake. Not one thing wrong with that either.

"Flying a quadcopter recording videos just for yourself" actually is cool and really fun.

And no, I do not live in mom's basement. Another rude comment.

Oh goody, you want to keep going! Would you be so kind as to link us to your IMDB page since it is obvious that you are not an ACE member in good standing. Hmmmm wonder why that is...

Lmao you 60 year old wrinkly balls trolls are probably getting your first woody in 20 years arguing with someone on the internet. I'm going to be the grownup here and walk away from this pedo disaster you guys are stirring up. If you actually learn how to read. I said if he records and edits videos for himself "fine then I understand". I simply was stating that he should take some pride in his work as buddy stated he doesn't want to be glued in front of a computer for a few hours which is also bs it sure seems him and all you other trolls sit on the computer all day long arguing with other. Cool you guys are Generals at keyboard soldiering. No lifes is what I prefer to call you. If you think I live in my moms basement thats pretty funny. I stated dude should take some pride in his work and all of you talking about I need to grow up. I need to hit puberty. I need to leave my moms basement. You also bring up porn and hard-ons. What kind of sick ******* forum is this turning into. I will not partake in your nasty ******* habits you scum of the earth. I hope the feds quickly find you.
 
Ahh OK, no ACE, no IMDB. I suppose you spend your time editing wedding / bar-mitzvah videos. Yeah, you are a real pro. Thanks for honoring us all here with your magnificent presence.
 
Hey kids- spend 12 hours a day editing drone footage instead of pesky homework and you too could be as successful as Drew

You should look up the Black Friday deals. Bestbuy is also having flash sales every few hours and I've seen the brand new macbook pros for $200 off during them.
 
Hi, just got my Phantom 3 Professional and I know 4K video on my current computer won't cut it. Let alone trying to watch it.
I'm wondering what you guys would recommend in terms of a computer. Preferably a laptop. On a budget but willing to spend on something that will work.
Lots of people are telling me I should just get a Mac Book. If so which one do you recommend?
Thanks so much
Glad I found this forum.
I got a msi ghost 4k laptop was not cheap but very good for editing super fast, plays 4k like a dream.
