Hey everyone I edit multiple 30-70GB files at once and waiting for my computer to repond can be rather painful at times. specs are ryzen5800x, rtx 3080, 32gb ram and my files and scratch disk as a 1tb 4th gen NVME. I was thinking of getting more ram but unsure of how much this would help and was wonding if that is actually the problem or would getting a dedicated scratch disk be more hellpful? Thanks!

Like Peru Bob said, you may been proxies.

What codec are those files? If long-GOP H.264/5 media, you may need to transcode or proxy. You might be able to work with an Nvidia quicksync CPU, 64GB of RAM or better.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

They are layered mp4 (two audio tracks), would the extra ram help? I just dont wannt buy more and it be relativly similar lol. and by transcode you mean to resize them or something different?
