kind of an off-topic thread, but not entirely. what is a good desktop computer/monitor combo for watching/making/editing kino? what does Sup Forums use. i know nothing about computers but would like to get something that i can edit what i film, but also double as an entertainment center.

What program are you going to use to edit?
What's the input video resolution? 1080p, 4K?
What's the input video format (AVC, P2, HDCAM)?
Are you going to do any effects?

if you don't know shit about computers and want one for editing/typical pleb use, just get an imac like every other tech illiterate cuckold

er. a multi core cpu, like a ryzen 7 or something. a shit ton of ddr4 ram. 16 minimum, 32 would be more than enough. ssd for your OS, bigger the better. a large 10 terrabyte HDD for video storage. you'll need a decent monitor or can just use a tv, depends if you wanna go 4k, 3D etc. this would also determine what kind of GPU you wanna get. probably something powerful like a 1080 if you want to go all out. I don't know too much about monitors, sorry.

Pretty much any computer at Best Buy will do fine for your purpose.

i was thinking adobe premiere, right now i use final cut but my mac is getting dated. its time to upgrade. input is 1080p/avc. and no cgi or anything like that.

Caleb Price
thanks for the help, user. screen-shotting this so i can take time to decipher what all that means.

You will want to get a used workstation from ebay. One which has two Xeon processors in it with six cores each.
What is your budget for this machine?

take this question to tomshardware.co.uk
they are really great and helped me build my gaming desktop. or they can probably just scout you a decent pre-built if you can't be bothered to do it yourself
Xavier Cruz
i go to asu if that makes you feel better about yourself
Jack Martinez
i was thinking $700-$1000 should be enough to get what i want done. im ok with it not being the best computer money can buy as long as it gets what i need done efficiently.

just get a dell with an i5 or i7 and make sure it has an SSD and 16 GB of RAM.

Something like this would be perfect for kino related work.
