Videoguys DIY NLE Workstation philosophy and DIY9 thoughts
by: 
 10/19/2011 12:54 PM
We're getting a lot of calls and questions about our latest DIY recommendations - and requests for a DIY9 build! We've also been participating in some very hot discussions an the Adobe and COW forums about this. I wanted to put this article together to give some insight into why we pick the components we do and what our overall DIY NLE workstation philosophy is.

The bottom line is this. You need a balanced system for best results. Too much of one area at the expense of another hurts perform Read More

Diving into NVIDIA GPU’s and what they mean for Premiere Pro
by: 
 10/05/2011 9:53 AM
Trying to quantify the GPU in a Premiere Pro…For the editing and pro community, it is a big deal. It is something that I’ve wanted to do for some time, but I had no idea how complicated and time consuming this would be! I went into this endeavor thinking that I would clearly delineate between different Quadro level cards and along the way understand what each one offered in the way of performance. I was methodical in setting up my system and in trying to create real-world tests that would e Read More

by: 
 8/08/2011 12:38 PM

Videoguys Recommended Laptops for Video Editing
by: 
 8/04/2011 1:32 PM
We get asked all the time about what laptops we recommend for video editing. This is a more difficult question to answer, because unlike a desktop, you are very limited in what upgrades and changes you can make after you buy it. So we are not going to recommend any specific models, but rather what brands of laptops we recommend and the model family they fit into. Read More

It’s strange how Apple appears to be pulling back from the professional software space but continues to push the professional hardware space to its’ limits. That’s what they’ve been doing with Thunderbolt. If you haven’t already heard, Thunderbolt technology is a new, high-speed, dual-protocol I/O technology designed for performance, simplicity, and flexibility. It was developed by Intel but brought to market with a collaboration from Apple. You can see more information on the Intel Thunderb Read More

NVIDIA Quadro Mobile Workstation GPUs
by: 
 8/03/2011 12:17 PM
Videoguys recommend Quadro Mobile GPUs

The Adobe Mercury Playback Engine in Premiere Pro CS5.x is amazing. When you combine it with a mobile Quadro card you will be able to edit multiple layers of assorted HD footage foramts in real-time. Avid wants a Quadro card for Media Composer as well. We really like the new Quadro 3000M with 2GB of GDDR5 memory and 193 CUDA cores!

The NVIDIA® Quadro® Mobile Workstation product family is a complete top-to-bottom range of solutions with unmatched Read More

DIY Update: Sandy Bridge - Getting closer with the ASUS P8Z68-V PRO Motherboard
by: 
 7/25/2011 1:52 PM
Over the past few months we've taken some heat on some NLE user forums for our recommendation to NOT use Sandy Bridge CPUs for building your NLE workstation. We didn't take this lightly and we understood the frustration it would create for people wanting to build a new NLE workstation. You want to use the latest technology and take advantage of the speed and performance per dollar of the Sandy bridge CPUs.

Our Sandy Bridge concerns where not about the CPU, but rather the available chipsets Read More

NVIDIA’s Quadro 4000 for Mac, more affordable speed for the right application
by: 
 5/12/2011 12:15 PM
Cheaper and smaller than the Quadro FX 4800, the 4000 can greatly compliment the right application.

It’s been several months since NVIDIA released their newest graphics card for the Macintosh. The Quadro 4000 for Mac uses their newest GPU architecture called Fermi. This card packs a whopping 256 cores onto a card that is half the physical size of the older Quadro FX 4800 (it had only 192 CUDA cores, the slacker). Read More
