video editing

This is a sad day indeed! I built a Hackintosh exclusively for 4k video editing with Davinci Resolve 14 and after I got everything else up and running, Resolve won't run stable on this machine! :( Here's the specs: Asus Z270 Prime MOBO, Asus GTX 1060 3GB GPU, Intel i5 Processor, 16GB of RAM...

Hi guys, I´m currently thinking about upgrading my 2013 setup, but I´m not sure the performance boost is worth the price. I mainly use my Hackintosh for AE and Premiere Pro, so getting better video editing performance is my main reason for a potential upgrade. Currently I have: • Intel Core...

Hello all. I'm building a video editing workstation. I was about to buy a EVGA GTX 1050 but I read a lot of issues with that card. Will the GTX 1060 be better due to having multiple DVI ports? Should I go for a "Maxwell" card for better compatibility? I'm pleased to hear suggestions. GIGABYTE...

Dear editors on Tonymacx, What screens are you working with ? What would you advise me to buy for less than 300eur ? I´m looking for an IPS screen for less than 300 eur (or 2 screens for less than 300 eur each), that doesn´t hurt the eyes too much when working for long hours. I´m looking for the...

I'm all new to building computers but I need to replace my 2011 Imac because I will be doing more and more heavy video editing in premiere pro and after effects and I figured that a Hackintosh was the best option for me. After much research this is the parts I think will work for me...

Hi all. Long shot here. I installed a second hand but under warranty EVGA 980ti to re-invigorate my edit Hack (specs in the .sig I think * plus Sierra 10.12.5) It's kinda ok. Got Clover options to use the Nvidia web drivers and all is recognised etc. However in a particularly heavy edit...

Hi guys! Recently I've decided to replace my old GPU with a new one, and considering the recent achievement of WhateverGreen.kext, I still can't choose between buying a GTX 1060 or a RX 580. I will be using it mostly for video editing with Adobe Premiere and After Effects, at the moment I...

Can anyone tell me why my old Mavericks hackintosh with a GTX 760 is running 10x faster with video editing than my brand new Sierra hackintosh with a 1080 Ti?

Finally got my hackintosh up and running. The problem is the performance with 4k footage is painfully slow when using Premiere Pro and Davinci Resolve. Playback skips, freezes, and crashes both programs, and rendering video takes twice as long as my old Mac Pro. I'm using an i7 6700k and GTX...

Hello! Brand new to the forum, and would love some buying advice! I am a professional video editor and also dabble in simple motion graphics - as such, I require a powerful machine to help me get through the day. My budget is $3,000USD for internal components only - all peripherals have been...

I'm needing a fully working hackintosh that can use iCloud, i'm okay if i have problems like i've heard users have with AMD, I can get a 6700K for $300 or a 7700k for $300 i'd rather go with the 7700k and overclock it but I need to know if it can work, i've seen a few youtube videos of people...

Howdy folks. Sorry I've been a stranger. It seems like the time has come for my monster build to get replaced. I'm trying to decide just what I'm going to replace it with. With YouTubing now my primary income stream (and a potential big-name client in the process of discussing licensing...

Hi all, First of all... Merry Christmas! :) I want to replace my motherboard, CPU and RAM, but I want to keep my 2 x ATI HD5770 (Gigabyte "Batman" cooler model). Config should look like this: i7-6700k (instead Q9550) Gigabyte GA-Z170-GAMING K3-EU (instead GA-EP45-UD3LR) 16GB DDR4 (instead 8GB...

Hi everyone, It's already been 4 years since I went with this build, it has served me well. I want to upgrade it to 2016 standards. I need more video editing power especially to handle 4k raw footage, and am starting to do a lot of 3d rendering in cinema 4d. My current set up is: Gigabyte...

Hi everyone, So I'm a total noob with zero experience building PC computers let alone building a hackintosh, so please bare with me. I've been a long time Mac user for over a decade and recently my iMac finally bit the dust. A friend told me about hackintosh and after some research it's a no...

Hey guys I currently own a Hackintosh build upon a gigabyte Z97-HD3 it's great but big. I have had some problems with USB 3.0 and as a video editor that's a no go. I, therefore want to change my motherboard to a setup as small as possible, with USB 3.0 working straight out of the box, and...
