    What does that mean... what kind of file... Standard Definition... High Defintion... 4k video?

     

    SD and HD should work well... 4k video requires a LOT of computing power, and your rig may have problems

    Thank you John. We would currently edit Sony A7S I and A7S II 1080p files, but later might switch to 4K version of those cameras. What changes would you suggest for that?

    I'm not John, but I would definitely get more RAM installed in that system. Go for at least 32 GB, in this case.

     

    In addition, a higher-end GPU, such as an RTX 2060, would be desirable for that system. The CPU should be adequate for most 4k editing work.
