As far as a new iMac and video editing is concerned:
1) I'd make sure to work off of an external USB3 or thunderbolt hard drive(s). On my Mac Pro the only things that reside on the System hard drive are the system, applications and support files. I have 4 other 2TB Hard Drives that I copy my video to and work from. Having your hard drive dedicated to just apps and the system while accessing you footage elsewhere will speed up your processing time. If you computer's hard drive has to run the system, run the applications and access 4K video projects it taxes the system too much causing a slow running machine.
2) Get an SSD drive for your system drive. I did this and the difference is incredible. e.g. Photoshop used to take about 25-30 seconds to boot up, load the interface, load fonts and be ready. With the SSD system hard drive all this now takes about 4.8 seconds. |
