how many cores the processor uses software Corel Video Studi

Post by zubastik »

Hello Please tell me how many cores the processor uses software Corel Video Studio since version X2.
I just want to buy a new computer, and don `t know which processor to choose.

I really don't know the answer...

It can probably use as many CPUs/cores as you have, depending on what Video Studio is doing at the moment. But... I wouldn't expect it to use 100% of all cores, and I wouldn't expect it to use all of the cores equally. Imagine multiple mechanics working on your car...

Usually, there are other bottlenecks... The hard drive(s), the data bus, and memory. Audio/Video files are big and you can only read/write the data so-fast.

It can help to have two drives when you render (or convert) files... If you read from one disc and write/render to the other, your drive doesn't have to switch back-and-forth between reading & writing, and the read/write head doesn't have to jump back-and-forth between the reading & writing file-locations.

1st of all INTEL ONLY!!! for both mother board and CPU! YES VS4 and up DOES USE ALL the CORES u have and YES IT DOES USE it up to 100%! i use now VS4pro on my intel i7 950 desktop CPU - has 4 cores and when i render AVCHD footage ALL 4 CORES are Busy from 85% up to 100%! So yes the more cores u have the better! dont mess with AMD for video editing.....

about bottlenecks - there is no way your HARD drive or memory will be your Bottlenecks with VS4 (its not ABOBE with ProRes or RAW) !! unless u have i dont know last century pata hdd..... any modern HDD will be fine with VS4, dont even bother with RAID if you using VS4, as VS4 only can do that much... about HDD - of course 1 hdd for system(its untouchable), 1 or 2 for files(as u WERE already told - its smart to use 1 hdd as a storage for unedited files and 2nd for finished/edited files). U edit and render files that are on 1 hdd and u save your work to 2nd hdd!

NOW about PC..... of course its all up to you budget, but in best case scenario:

Dont buy Cheap CPU - as its kind of cheap our days anyway! i5 - is not good..... 100$ savings does not WORTH the pain!! you need CPU with Hypertreading, ofcourse 64bit in pair with WIN 7 64 bit..... there is a 2nd generation i7 with 6 cores - nice one real boost! I would not recommend to go into extreme side - price is huge but difference in performance will be like 10-15% in reality i would not bother as i am not an overlocker either! 3rd generation i7 - only 4 cores for now... so i would go with 2nd

Mother boards(MB) - after CPU is chosen there is a list of supported MB - i highly recommend INTEL

now its popular to use SSD HDD as a system drive - well it will give u some boost but in reality just a few seconds....but again, if u decide to go there - INTEL only - most reliable, longest life!

Memory - VS dont use a lot of it for some reasons - i have 6gb, but i never saw that VS used more then 3GB! general rule - 2GB per core - and 100% u ll not get in trouble using VS......
GPU - or Video Card - i asked and COREL CONFIRMED that its BEST to use NVIDEA ..... so GTX cards are best.... keep in mind for best performance 1GB video RAM is a very minimum (my self i am going to get Evga GTX580 with 3GB) - and btw - Nvidea supported by ADOBE as well , as in case you use or will use any of their products - the video card will work there as well

Give please, as far as sensitive by Difference of time will be between the processing of video on the processor Intel Core I5 ​​2400 3.1 GHz processor and Intel Core i7 2600 3.4 GHz. On how much of time on the processor I7 processor obhonyt I5? Will be whether this is sekundы, a couple of minutes, or is this will be the same although the neighborhood would be 15 - 30 minutes?

And Give else Please Do Enough capacity Accumulators nVidia GT 220 (PCI-E v2.0 x16, DDR 3, 1024Mb) for work on the processing komfortnoy video? Will not be whether delay when rewinding video?

right - just wait - some one here will build a several PC systems just for you, and will test it just to tell u how many seconds u may win, - wake up plz, and use the google!
