Having a good amount of GDDR3 graphics memory is great for rendering previews and making exports, but we figured that most of that rendering work wouldn’t need to be done while working remotely on a laptop anyway, and that we could make the desktop PC more of a render machine. It’s important to note that the graphics card is not nearly as critical as the CPU when it comes to heavy lifting in After Effects. Plenty of gaming laptops these days support the latest series of Nvidia graphics cards, even multiple cards within a single machine. This class of laptop body makes it possible to have such a great customized and upgradeable workstation, so with a model like this, the PC is whatever you make of it.įor maximum compatibility with our suite of Adobe software, we wanted to stick with Nvidia for our GPU of choice.
We went with the Clevo P775TM1-G, as it can support 8th Generation Intel Core Processors, and has all of the benefits in the below categories. Picking a body came around the same time as figuring out the best possible processor for a laptop within our price range. All other decisions about the laptop followed what we found to be the best processor available for a laptop, which (at the top of 2018) is the Intel i7 8700K CPU. In the world of PC workstations it's important to be able to upgrade over time, yet with most laptops, upgrading the CPU is difficult or impossible. For our 2018 laptop workstation we sought out a desktop-level CPU that could clock at-or-above 4.00GHz, which is well above the consumer-level processors you'll find on off-the-shelf laptop models. The choice of CPU is the number one consideration when it comes to performance for video editing in Premiere or After Effects. Here are the main factors in customizing a laptop, and the incredible specs we ended up with. We wanted to create a no-compromises video powerhouse in the body of a laptop. Going into 2018, when we decided to invest in a portable workstation we had to take into consideration a variety of factors. How We Arrived at the Perfect Video Editing Laptop You can dial your machine perfectly to your needs and scale as your workflows change over time. The decision to use custom PCs in video work comes down to the ability to stagger the upgrade of components to get maximum bang for your buck over time: certain parts will want to get upgraded every couple years, while others remain reliable and current for several more years. Some involved more intensive 2D and 3D animation, others involved light or heavy editing with either tens of gigabytes or multiple terabytes of data. Throughout 2017, we used our desktops and local media server to power through dozens of video projects.
