Updated in March 2021<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are looking for the best computers for GoPro video and photo editing, whether it is a laptop or a desktop, then you are in the right place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In this article, I’m going to discuss everything there is that you need to know before making a purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Video editing involves arranging and manipulating video footage and sound effects to create a final appealing video. As you may already know, this is not an easy task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As technology continually advances with more sophisticated cameras and video recorders, you sure would not want to be left behind when it comes to the post-production phase of video editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GoPro cameras<\/a> and other video cameras can already give us great quality videos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if you want to further enhance or create short movies of your videos, then you need to have a powerful computer that can handle all these heavy files without freezing or slowing down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not only is it difficult to understand some specifications but you may also find it taxing to compare each model to one another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Along with the top computer picks, I am also going to shed some light on the essential factors you have to look for when looking for one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are the top recommendations for the best computers, laptops or desktops, for GoPro video and photo editing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For laptops:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For desktops:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Having video editing skills alone will not be enough if you want to produce a more high-end and a more sophisticated video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You also need to have the best computer that is built to cater to your video editing needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nowadays, video editors need hardware that will be able to provide more speed and power to efficiently run the software and accommodate the high-resolution GoPro videos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In this section, I am going to provide you the factors you might want to consider when choosing a computer for GoPro video editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You have to know that all of your efforts of looking for the best computer will go in vain if you do not consider the processor. After all, it will be the one that will do the heavy lifting when you use your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Video editing software<\/a> such as Sony Vegas, Final Cut Pro, and Adobe Premier will occupy your processor\u2019s multiple cores and will require hyper-threading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus, choosing a computer that has hyper-threading abilities that comes with multiple core processors will be the best one to use for editing a GoPro video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are on a budget, there are computers with AMD processors. Though they are not as powerful as Intel<\/a>, AMD-equipped computers provide the best bang for your buck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if you want to keep up with the ever-changing trends, the best thing that can you do is to upgrade to a better desktop or laptop from time to time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2021, you will not find a better alternative than a computer running on Intel i7 processor. Its range of hyper-threading ability is from 4-core, 6-core, and 8-core processors, which already makes it better for GoPro video editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When choosing a computer with a good processor, you may opt to choose between mid-range and high-end ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mid-range processors can be the Intel i7-10510U and i7-9750H and high-end ones include i7\u20119700k , i9-9900K or the Intel Xeon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Obviously, if you prefer to have a smoother editing, these processors are significantly superior to their older versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Graphics card requirements can alter depending on your editing software. Professional ones including the Sony Vegas and Adobe Premier will be able to take advantage of a new graphics card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This will speed up the rendering and it will be able to shorten the preview times that will result in a more concise workflow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, Graphics Processing Unit-assisted rendering will not matter when you are working on a full high-definition footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are only doing light video editing, you will not need a computer with dedicated graphics. This is because integrated graphics on newer processors will be powerful enough to edit a 4K video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Check the difference between integrated and dedicated<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the latest software diligently use these dedicated graphics through hardware acceleration. With this, it would be best if you have this on your computer if you want the best results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you already own a computer for gaming purposes, it can already be a good fit for GoPro video rendering usage as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NVIDIA has proven to be the best one out there, always staying 5-steps ahead of its nearest competitor when it comes to its capacities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n High-end graphics cards include the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you opt for cheaper ones, you may choose the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super or an Integrated Graphics Card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You need to save all your edited GoPro videos, right? This is why you need a huge storage space, especially if you are already committed to serious editing. It is ideal that you have at least a few gigabytes to spare in your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t, there is always another option: moving your files into an external drive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While you can opt for a cheaper hard drive substitute, it is still recommended that you buy one that already comes with a good SSD that will accommodate your video editing tasks, better to pick an SSD which is faster than normal SATA hard drives<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Try to avoid buying a computer with a SATA hard drive, always opt for SSD drives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As you already know, high definition videos take up a huge amount of space, so you would need at least a 1 TB of space. You can also have your hard drive expanded with a 2 TB external.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A 250 GB SSD is considered a low-end hard drive that will only accommodate the video editing software<\/a> and a few videos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A 500 GB mid-range hard drive will be able to provide you faster video previews, fewer dropped frames and full quality playbacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly, high-end 500 GB SSD hard drive, will be able to offer you faster rending. In addition, it will allow you to work on multiple projects at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A COMPUTER FOR VIDEO EDITING<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
