Man! the insights on this video are priceless 🔥
unlike the Puget rigs! $3700.00 on the low end. I understand, but damn - wish I could afford to drop that kinda cash right now; I sure would.
except the one about "save your money cos AI is coming for your job in the couple of years" 😇
@@elingrome5853 AI will augment those fast to adapt who will replace everyone else
Thank you for being so honest, I have never seen a brand technician speak so transparently about the reality of their own products and those of the competition, congratulations.
Casey! Absolutely fabulous my friend.... amazing video, incredible info needed by us all. Thank you for taking the time to do this.❤
This is one of THE most helpful computer discussion I've ever watched. A professional who actually knows the tools of the industry and understands that the use cases actually turn the whole build-decision process around; starting with storage for example. I have some questions about motherboard decisions -- audio choices, I/O requirements, etc., but I'm much more confident now making some decisions about my next rig. Thank you for this.
Best 43 minutes spent on TH-cam, that was very informative, thank you!
Golden Info!! Thanks Puget Systems for sharing your years of experience and thanks Casey for making this interview happen!
i made the mistake of getting an average PC for editing a couple years ago, then learned so much and surpassed the capabilities it could handle for the jobs i do now. I built a monster PC and it has let me learn so much more. i recommend building a PC for where you want to be not where you are now, you will definitely learn alot with a faster pc.
This is great advice.. Which is why I budgetted out a bigger gpu for the pc im going to build this month.
One of the best video I have seen for a long time. Answered all the questions about Davinci Resolve hardware I had and those I did not know I had. Pity that living in Sweden I can not buy from Puget but the wisdom I learned I can use when selecting my next system. Great video and thanks Casey to make it happen. :-)
This landed at exactly the moment I am considering upgrading my graphics PC as I have recently moved from stills photography to video. Two vids in and I am starting to feel where the h/w limitations are! Fantastic information targeted exactly where it's needed for video creation, and some of it has gone straight to my hardware builder :) Thanks Casey and Puget-man
This video is gold! Thanks Casey and Matt for breaking down the nuances of the hardware requirements.🙂
Perfect timing (again) on this video! Just recently started looking at upgrading my tech, and along comes Casey. Thanks very much, so insightful, informative and entertaining. Keep it up!
That's GREAT content guys... I was struggling to wrap my head around as to why my PC wasn't performing with DVR...I needed this, much appreciated !!!
Glad you came out with this video. There are things I didn't know. Thank You Casey.
I'm about to build my PC for filmmaking. This is absolutely fantastic. Thabk you so much.
This video has needed to be made for years! Thanks Casey!
This was actually incredibly helpful. Thank you!
Quality info, Casey. Puget will be top of mind for a future build.
I started editing with a 2023 mac mini M2 with 8g ram. It did a decent job. I recently upgraded to a mac studio M2 with 32g ram and it runs amazingly on resolve studio.
Great timing (for me) with this video! Thanks for making it 🙏
Oh man! Thanks a ton for making this video, it's really going to help millions of people around the world in deciding their hardware for content creation. Also thanks to Matt, a pure soul!❤❤
I love and appreciate the videos you put out here!❤❤ I have also started learning Resolve from your introductory courses! Always the best!👌👌
Nice to hear expert advice from the system integrator. 😊
man this video just comes in the right time.
So glad I "cheaped out" on my new PC. Got pretty much everything you said to get for me as a general creator. Thank you for letting me know I made a good decision by not trying to throw more money at it and not getting much of a performance boost out of it.
Great discussion, thanks for sharing!
Wow. Thank you. This was a great interview. Well done.
If this video did anything for me, it proved that I did my research well before purchasing my desktop. I watched EVERYTHING I could, talked to EVERYONE I could…it comes down to doing your research. Thank you for this wonderful conversation with Puget
Ty sir, i was waiting for this video
I was looking for a video like this for long time. Now i got it thk u😃
Thank you Casey.
This is a heavily underrated video, there's SO much useful information here. Thank you guys for making this!
Thanks for this! Such a great, NO BS breakdown of how to make sure you're putting your money in the right place for the best performance.
Amazing video!
Thank you!
Such nice timing Casey. I was about to build a PC for Davinci and you made this video. Thanks for all the information.
Thank you so much to both of you!
Casey, I believe I speak for all of us when I say you are now our Ambassador. It was extremely thoughtful of you to arrange this interview with Puget Systems of which I had never heard of. Thank you very much.
One word - brilliant! Thank you so much Casey and Matt. Awesome stuff guys. Great content. Very practical and honest advice.
Awesome video. Please repeat every year or two.
Spectacular info. Thanks for sharing this.
Very Cool video Casey! I'm one of the many nerds and TH-cam introverts loving this content.
Thank you, Casey! Another awesome super helpful video. Upgrading tech this week. Now I know better what to buy.
Super helpful. Thanks guys
Thanks for this, very helpful!
Fantastic video! Thanks
This was so good. Thank you!
I'm running an 8700k with 1080ti and I was having slow down on my footage from the new Osmo Pocket 3, which was capturing 4k60 10bit. I thought about splurging on a new system for fun since mine is somewhat old. But a friend advised that I consider paying for the Blackmagic license to help boost. I thought about it, and since Blackmagic has been allowing free software in Resolve, I figure it's nice to pay them back for all the time I've used it.
In any case, long story short, all my footage magically worked better in the Studio version.
The monitoring playback is smooth, the rendering went up by like 125% speed. I was doing 40-45fps rendering in Resolve free, and it went to 90-110fps in the Studio version.
Probably is the cheapest upgrade if you want to do this.
But I'm still eyeing an upgrade of the pc hardware just for the hell of it.
Very enlightening, definately helped me decide what hardware to get next.
The 45 minutes flew by. Very interesting all the content, well explained for people like me who are starting in this. It is appreciated that companies like this, where prevails the right and meet customer expectations regardless of how much will be the cost of the sale.
I am from Spain and although it may not seem like it, I don't speak much English. I use AI assisted translation so I trust I will not be misunderstood by a bad translation. I am still fighting for my goals but I still have a long way to go, however once I achieve them I will keep Puget Sistems in mind.
Thank you Casey for passing this information on to us. Great as always. Best regards.
Im still rocking my i7-3770, 32gb and gtx 1660. Editing 4k h265 files. No problems
Proxys-use? 😉
@@michaelsopunov no proxies. I don't do anything fancy though. Maybe some swooshy transitions in fusion on rare occasions
Bro, I've been scratching my head for months thinking about this and you just solved my problem, who to talk to, to buy a PC, I've been using Mac's since 2000, but I'm tired of Apple and their I want to stick it to you mentality. This will be my first PC ever, my only issue is, I have a feeling, arm processors are maybe the future. Need to call this guy's soon. Thanks!!
Thank you, Casey. Very helpful.
This alone is waaay better than any other general recommendation pages on how to spec a system for video editing.
Awesome video!
i5-12600, 48GB ram, 3060 Dual 8GB, Asus 27" ProArt 4K monitor. The PC was built for my at Memory Express in Winnipeg. I will buy Studio today. Then there is the fact the internet here allows me to watch this video at 480p.
🥹
what?
@@rickybobbyracing9106and just started the 2 1/2 hour download of Studio. The schools have fibre, we have fibre to the house but not hooked up yet, so the town is on satelite through 50 year old phone lines. With the download happening the speed is 1.28 Mbps down.
spend the extra $100 and get you the speed editor. or $300 more if you get the full size keyboard. both come with the studio license
@@donwells8465That is way more advanced than what I do. I'm hoping for better colour correction after the 90 minute download this morning but it is a learning curve. Thank you though.
Would've also loved to see benchmarks, specs for Fusion studio.
Puget Systems made my PC back in 2023
Super helpful! I unfortunately one of those people that just bought a laptop the new framework 16 and this video makes me cry a little bit. Also, you’re missing the card at the very end about your free resolve introduction. Absolutely love this video though. Thank you!
As you said, this is one extremely enlightening video!
big thanks, this is gold!
Absolutely amazing 👏 Thank you for making this video.
So honest and best insight , very very informative 👍
Thanks, good info.
Love my system from Puget!
First class interview. I wish I had this info when I had my system built
tanks for sharing valuable information
Very interesting. Very educational. 👍
Wow! very informative for a beginners.
This video was super helpful, I've always brushed-off the idea of integrated graphics in the CPU thinking it made no difference if you had an nvidia Graphics card. Also, Puget Systems is about 6 minutes away from my house!! Do let me know next time you're in the area, you have been (and continue to be) my go-to for Resolve/Fusion training.
GREAT VIDEO!!!! What kind of improvement would be expected going from 64 gigs of ram to 128 gigs in resolve? is it like nvme drives, when full they slow down? would more overhead help with speed?
Wow..this is exactly what i need. Thanks people.
Wow. Casey, great video! This will help a lot of people make the right choices for their budgets and needs. This video is what gold looks like on TH-cam.
I personally spent about 2 years saving up for and choosing a system, and I only recently pulled the trigger and got it. I was worried, but after this video, I am more assured I made the right choices, especially for my budget.
And as Matt mentioned, to anyone who doesn't know: NEVER go for a cheap power supply!
@15:45 - I disagree. What about rendering the final edit? You most definitely could use a high-end GPU as DR will give you the choice between software or hardware-accelerated exporting. I always do hardware, i.e., GPU does all the final exporting. In any case, great video! You're the only one who did a video like this. Everyone else talks about the best PC for gaming.
There's a fella with a channel called Tech Notice here on YT. All he does is Video Editing performance PC stuff. Premier and Resolve.
Thanks man for this valuable info.🥰
Loved this video and the indepth look at building systems for Davinci Resolve. I was a little worried watch regarding the laptop I bought 3 and a half years ago when I started using Davinci Resolve. However my system still meets the requirements. I will be using these recommendations when I replace or upgrade this laptop in the future.
@CaseyFaris
I am about to build a new rig soon and video creation will be primary focus with gaming as secondary.
I learned from "Tech Notice" videos that Intel CPUs have an iGPU and that it's really good for video editing.
I also learned that Nvidia 4000 series cards are good because they have AV1.
My question is: if I plan to get a 4060 or 4060ti and the plan is to use AV1 in DaVinci Resolve, do I still need Intel's iGPU? Because I think the iGPU only helps with H264 and H265 right? If I don't plan on using H265, then the intel iGPU will be useless, and then I dont have to get 14600k or 14700k, and I can just go Ryzen 7800X3D. It's so efficient and cool-running!
Is this correct? Or is Intel iGPU still important even if I plan to use Nvidia and AV1 in DaVinci Resolve?
Thanks!
Hi, I'm using a MacBook Air M1 (16gb) and I was wondering if a custom PC (i9 14900k + RTX 4080 super + 96gb Ram) would be a worthy upgrade? Because I edit videos every days on it, and most of the times it's great but when I work on bigger projects (+25 min timeline, with vfx, sound design, multicam, titles,...) it tends to really struggle.
And if it can help, I always use Proxies and also use a variety of codecs because I have a FX3, FX6 + Pocket 6K Pro but I also rent other cameras if it's needed for the project (like : Red, Arri, etc...). But I still work on a 1080p timeline (Davinci) and change the resolution just after I finish the project.
So I was thinking of using my MacBook Air M1 when I need to be mobile and use a Mac Studio Ultra or a Custom Pc at my office.
To be honest I don't care if it's Mac or PC because I'm used to work on both since 2006, I just want to be sure that my investment would be worth it (performance wise).
Hope you see this comment and awesome video btw, such great infos shared!
What an incredibly informative video. I think about 70% of it was above my paygrade. I had a system built for me in 2019 by CPU Solutions plus a few upgrades I installed since then. I'm still learning / deciding how deep to go into DR. But still, wow!
This seems to be an unusual video for you to do, however I really enjoy how you present the information. My computer is about five years old and I'm wondering if it's still up to the task. This video has given me a great starting point from which to evaluate my system and determine whether to keep it upgraded or get a new system. I am not a techie or highly literate in computers so this video will be tremendously helpful in my search. Thank you
Thanks. An invaluable video. Good job.👍
BRILLIANT!
Thank you
So much great info! Love Puget, even though I use Macs :-p
BTW, a decent add on to a laptop is a 13-16 inch artist tablet, because it can function as either a tablet or an extra monitor and is easy to travel with. I have a laptop with a 3070Ti in it and use an XP-Pen Artist 13.3 Pro for traveling.
The million dollar question is why it is always motherboard not dadboard 😅😁
This was good. Super good. Next should what monitor.
Valuable Video! Do they, Puget, have a TH-cam or any other social media page?
Thank You
The Best Video On Internet For PC Info!!
Great video!!!
Matt probably curbed the sales of their top tier machines a little, but those are not likely to be the normal everyday sales. But I think he probably boosted overall sales, because I fell I can trust them the next time I need a system and don’t want to build it myself.
The system I built in 2022 cost me around $800.00 less than the closest comparable system I customized on their site. However, I currently make around $40.00 per hour, and I calculated up the time I spent researching the parts I bought, Puget would have actually saved me money in time.
Lots to THINK about guys. Thanks 4 ALL this GREAT information. I use the non-Studio version which works for the videos that I create. Cheers !!!!! 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Maybe already mentioned but with the Resolve license you can buy the Speed Editor bundle and it comes with a Resolve license so essentially you are getting the Speed Editor for free, could even sell it if you have no interest in it.
This is more of keyboard question. Would the macro keys on the "Corsair K100 RGB Optical-Mechanical Gaming Keyboard" work for programing short cuts and other functions to them? or would you need a specific keyboard that's for DaVinci Resolve?
Will make a note here. When I upgraded my system, my budget did not allow me to get the video card I wanted, which was an Nvdia 4080. I had a 3060. So I kept it and bought a 4070. Running tests after the build was complete, I did tests in DaVinci with the both cards activated and only the 4070 selected. Compared to online tests of Resolve features on different channels and sites, I found my test results were within 10% of a 4080 at (during that time) about 40% of the price. Since both cards have the same amount of memory, it works great with Blender too. So this is an option if you can't afford the card you want.
4070 and 4080 don't have the same amount of memory
@@niksalakic5406 What does that have to do with anything? The point was the 3060 and 4070 have the same amount of memory. Read what I wrote again.
Never said they had the same amount as a 4080.
Should I go with a 4070 Super or a 7900 GRE for editing on the free version and later get Studio version? I've heard that AMD cards get AV1 encoding on the free version but not on Nvidia cards. I will later upgrade to the studio version. Davinci Resolve also utilizes more VRAM no? I will be getting into professional video editing as a source of money so it is pretty important and I don't want to waste money. I will be pairing it up with a Ryzen 7 7700. I've only got mixed answers so far. Does the AMD have more performance or is the Nvidia just much more reliable? The 4070 Super is about 60$ more expensive in my country.
totally hooked, since my new build cant start davinci with Intel's activated uhd 770🙄😭
Nice, tanks a lot! But nothing said about ssd and hdd config. What about 3 ssd's and 1 hdd for storage?
Goddamn amazing video man thanks 🙏
This is a really great interview. I'm a casual Studio user and I have spent days discovering what you cover in minutes. How do you check if an Intel IGPU is on and working? Where in BIOS and in Davinci Studio do you turn on/ confirm it is working properly?
soo good, whats a good well priced mac option?
Are amd gpus good for both gaming and editing? I thought about the rx6700xt.
This was awesome, thanks so much. If only they operated in other countries.
