My old computer can barely function and it is time for a new one. Looking for some advice on buying a new computer and which software to buy for basic video editing and website building. These are things that I've never done but am willing to learn.
Shilling for Ryzen 7 1700 and Vega 64 Editing eventually comes down to Premiere, Vegas, KdenLive or Movie Maker (all up to preference honestly)
Doesn't have to, no. logicalincrements.com That site is somewhat geared towards gaming; it's a good starting point, for video editing you then want to put an extra bit of budget into a better CPU, because of rendering times. For website building you can pretty much just use whatever.
Is there any current software available for website design that i can work offline with and upload as needed. One that does not charge a monthly fee? I used Microsoft Frontpage long ago but I'm not sure if that is still viable.
EDIT *My bad didn't read your post well enough. Still think a CMS system is the best way to go, though. You could try Dreamweaver CC, but you'd be better of with a CMS (Drupal, Wordpress, Umbraco...) these days, I think.
Totally agree on this point. Although I've made websites through HTML+HTML5, using something like Wordpress is a lot better. When it comes to updating a site Wordpress will take some time getting used to, and I'm still learning it now. Liking it more as I use it, just as long as you have/able to change your php_max_memory limits. @Buyatari - You can use Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 if you wish to work locally. That's a one off payment... If you can find it.
When I think of video editing and website design I think of Macs as the better choice for designing and creativity over Windows.
What is your end goal or explain what you are doing? 1: Personal youtube stuff? 2: Actual work, paid per the hour? if number 1>> Make some good content first, having the best equipment will not make you an expert overnight (think of those middle aged suburban guys who buy expensive tools and never use them) 2: It is 100% dependent on your target client base! Please take this as advise and not as an insult, clients that are looking to hire an "amateur" (anyone without a team), will never need a fully custom website. Only big business need a custom site. I'm currently working on a full ecom system, with wholesale customer management, for my work (a decent sized company, well over 100 managed accounts, plus multiple company owned locations). Still we decided to go with a "shop in a box" system, yeah it's expensive but not as expensive as spending the time making a fully custom system.. My point is, if for a business, you are going to spend 99% of your time making wordpress sites focus on your hardware and making a comfortable work environment ok for video editing software, you have two real options if you want to do this long term, or learn useful skills in video editing. Adobe Premire (you don't have to use CC, buy the older stand-alone version) Pros: Both OSX and Windows Multi display support (uses floating windows) You will learn a LOT, there is nothing done for you Cons: Hard to learn (this is kinda a good thing) Floating windows can be a pain AMD Gpus are a little bit crappy (in CC) RAM, it wants all of it! CC is per month $$, older versions are avaliable Final Cut Pro (High sierra blocks versions below 10.3.3, bastards!) Pros: Made for apes Well optimised FINALLY supports content loaded from a network (SMB for lyfe) Not a subscription! Timelines are intelligent Cons: Multi monitors aren't a thing according to apple Project management is a little restrictive it's expensive, gotta drop them Apple Dollars$$ Made for apes, you won't learn as much, not as much control OSX only! High Sierra blocks older (cheaper) versions. Because it is made for apes, certain things are not doable
Here is what my system looks like exporting a 50fps h.264 file using adobe premiere CC You don't need a beast computer to edit simple video, I used to use a Core2 Duo with 4GB of ram and a 5400rpm drive. Renders where longer but that doesn't matter as a hobby Also I'm using the computer right now while exporting, that is the only benefit to having a faster PC, is you can use it while exporting
1- Build it yourself, you'll save money and learn tons of stuff. 2- Budget first, then select the parts. While choosing trade-offs, consider the upgrade ability and its price: maybe 8GB ram now but a good CPU, but you could buy more ram in the future cheaper than a better GPU. 3- Keep a few bucks for a mechanical keyboard, 80% or 60% if you feel wild. Your wrists and shoulders will thank you and the desk space you will save is incredible. No need for custom keycaps and expensive keys necessarily, just no cheap ass huge 3m² monstrosity. 4- What's the intended use of the PC? Adjust the build accordingly.
Picked up this iMac from Best Buy. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/apple-...b-fusion-drive-silver/4881600.p?skuId=4881600 The website is registered with Godaddy. Godaddy has website building plans but you must pay monthly for this. Instead, can I just buy a program, build the site offline and then upload it? Never done any of this before but I am willing to learn.
I sometimes watch NHK world on TV and they have a show about artisans that still continue traditional crafts, such as pottery and making utensils by hand. I feel like I'd be a great candidate in 10 years when I'm the only one left still writing websites by hand. Even wordpress' website has tons of errors.
ya html, css, and javascript (most people use jquery for ease now which is still technically javascript) thats just for design, there's a ton more scripting languages for the back-end like for e-mail forms and account systems and stuff.
