SFF video editor - Help Suggestions

idata — Tue, 04 Apr 2017 19:01:26 GMT

I am really stuck on getting Small Form factor.

However, I have analysis paralysis.

Stuck between a Skull Canyon nuc6i7KYK

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G105ZbHL2l0 Intel's Skull Canyon NUC - A Compact Powerhouse? - YouTube

or this rig

As Rock 110 mini-STX

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQrSgX2ybTQ The BEST Small Computer? Meet The Asrock DeskMini 110 - YouTube

Differences:

Skull Canyon has i7-6770-HQ - older,slower CPU speed (2.6 - 3.5) - better iGPU - Iris Pro 580

AsRock I would load with an i7-7700 - newer, Faster CPU (3.6 - 4.2) , slower iGPU - HD 630

I want this for portable WQHD video editing with either Premiere Elements or KdenLive

Not 4K editting.

There would be some effects. KDENLive or Premiere Elements.

The AsRock I would load with this:

1) i7-7700 - $315

2) 256 m.2 nmve pcie boot drive $100

3) 512GB 2.5 HDD $50

4) (2x8) Gskills Ripjaws $110

5) AsRock Mini-STX case $140

=======================

Total around: ~ $715) Give or take

But the Skull Canyon is around $1000 or more to comparably loaded.

Plus, after a year, the SKULL CANYON has reports of loud fan noise among some. NOT reparable.

Problem: I only need 256GB m.2 for the boot drive. Storage can be on an HDD. Skull Canyon does not allow that,

without an external drive

An i7-7700 has far more CPU power than the i7-6770HQ. But which is better for video editing.

I will not be overclocking.

So here is the issue: In both cases, I would be using an INTEL product, but which is better

for WQHD video editting (2560 x 1440)

I would be using with Premiere Element or KDENlive.

I like small form factors. I would be doing a 10 minute video per day.

Yes, I could build something myself, but by the time you are through, it is almost as much as buying one.

The closest pre-made would be an HP Z2 G3 mini, maxed out at arount $1900 but it would have

a Quadro K620 Graphics Card. Again, not spectacular.,

Suggestions!!!!

I know this is not ideal. None of these have Graphics cards (Well the HP Z2 G3 Mini has a graphics card,

but incredibly weak).

Your thoughts.

Considering YT video production.

Finally, will be considering dual boot with Linux, and a VM.

Is 16GB enough, or should I go to 32GB.

Right now, I have 10GB on an older AMD and I cannot run VM at all.

Hello Considering,

Thank you for contacting the Intel community.

In this case, the Intel® NUC Kit NUC6i7KYK is a good choice for video editing; in my case I would use 32GB of ram, this is for not to worry about lack of memory but 16GB of ram should work ok.

With the Skull Canyon you can use resolution up to 4096x2304@60Hz as you can see here:

https://ark.intel.com/products/93341/Intel-Core-i7-6770HQ-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_50-GHz https://ark.intel.com/products/93341/Intel-Core-i7-6770HQ-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_50-GHz

Of course, the Intel® Core™ i7-7700 Processor can work perfectly fine for you and this will be your decision what you prefer but this also support up to 4096x2304@60Hz resolution, you can check details here:

https://ark.intel.com/products/97128/Intel-Core-i7-7700-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_20-GHz https://ark.intel.com/products/97128/Intel-Core-i7-7700-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_20-GHz

Also, make sure you check the minimum system requirements for the video editing software that you will be using.

For SSDs compatible with the Skull Canyon you can check here:

For memory compatible with this NUC you will see it here:

I hope this can help.

Ivan.
