Re: [LUG] GoPro editing

 
If you value your sanity, no chance.

Video processing largely depends on the CPU. Final Cut Pro can accelerate that with GPU optimisation, e.g. the Mercury Quartz Engine but you're otherwise wanting something with a decent processor and lots of RAM, particularly for HD footage.

A fast disc is also important. SSDs will wear faster with the number of writes but if you use a spinning disc, don't use anything less than 7200 RPM. Creative houses typically use eSata RAID drives or a SAN but that's less useful in the field.

Hi Guys

As you might or might not be aware I am a community organiser and I spend a lot of time in the field. I use a GoPro and often try to create videos on the fly. The laptop I was using has died and it really was too big with not enough space. I am wondering whether a Pi2 with a 7" touchscreen would be man enough to edit the footage. If not is there a small laptop someone would recommend. I have a Nexus 9 that I am trying to use but having problems getting the video on to the tablet.

Any thoughts please?

Thanks

Rich
