Thats changed, the Ryzen CPUs are quite good. They have some models with integrated GPU which does not add much to the cost. An entry level ryzen would be super cost efective. You can buy a used case but get a new CPU/ram/gpu. These is a chart at PCPartsPicker that lets you figure out the best deal for the money. You could also get a cheap but newer NVIdia GPU as well. That may be better for encoding. Ask Dave what he thinks is best. |

Depends entirely upon what package you use and what GPU's it supports, and what kind of videos you produce. Videos like mine are actually mostly CPU intensive instead of GPU intensive because of the lack of video effects. So often things like a memory and drive bottlenecks matter more than GPU. When actually editing for example I have GPU acceleration turned off. |

It's really cool that your son is getting into video editing – it’s a fun and creative hobby! I've been through a similar situation, setting up a budget-friendly PC for my cousin who started with gaming and then got into video editing. Based on that experience, I'd say starting with used hardware is a smart move, especially since he's just exploring this interest. For video editing, a good balance between CPU, RAM, and GPU is key. An AMD FX or earlier i7 processor would work just fine for starters. They have enough power to handle video editing tasks without breaking the bank. And if he's looking for software that isn’t too demanding for beginners, video editor Movavi is a user-friendly option that should run smoothly on moderate specs. It’s great for beginners and has enough features to get his creativity rolling without overwhelming him. Hope this helps, and all the best with the PC build! |

I had to do some video editing the other day - I have next to no experience and haven't used one for years. Anyhow, I used clipchamp and it did what I had to do relatively quickly. I see though that it doesn't make the recommended lists of free video editing software ? |
