Which Toshiba Laptops are good for video editing?

kevin

I am planning on buying a new Toshiba Laptop(my budget is 500) I need it for video editing and everyday use. I am going to be editing on Sony Vegas with HD videos. Any ideas on some good ones?

Answer
A really nice affordable option from Toshiba would be
Toshiba Satellite S855D-S5253 15.6-Inch Laptop.
It comes with specs designed to do a lot more than just the basic. it is capable of doing power intensive jobs such as long hours of video editing and even gaming.
Imagine the power of
AMD A10-4600M Accelerated Processor 2.3 GHz (3.2 GHz with AMD Turbo Core

6GB DDR3 1600MHz memory (max 16GB)

Answer
HI there Ace,
NO laptop with integrated graphics is good for video editing. look for a laptop with a graphics card , preferably ATI or Nvidia, WITH their own memory. (not shared)
This is a must. You can do video editing with that laptop, however it will be tedious.

What is the best laptop for After Effects?

I'm looking at buying a laptop to do freelance video editing. I'm accustomed to working in my full-blown production studio with rack-mounted gear and fibre channel RAID arrays, but I need something to take with me when I'm editing on the road. What's the current buzz on this?

Answer
this is not a question of hardware but of software. i don't know what you're using in your studio, Windows or Mac based PCs.

if you're familiar with Macs a Macbook Pro is what you need, in case of Windows based machines i would recommend a laptop with the best graphics card available (GeForce Go 7900GS/7900GTX/7950GTX), 2GB Ram is also a must and preferably a Core 2 Duo processor. Furthermore you should get the most powerful battery because laptops with these specs have a high power consumption.

Some suggestions (from cheapest to the most expensive) Dell Inspiron E1705, Toshiba Satellite P100, Dell XPS M1710, Sager NP5760. Sager isn't well known but top end.

Why are my videos such low quality?

Nick

I recently downloaded Bandicam on my Toshiba laptop and I use it to take screen recordings of my Skyrim gameplay. I upload these videos to YouTube and then convert them to my iMac so I can use my iMovie video editing software. But when I do get them on iMovie, they're very poor quality and they don't change once I upload them to YouTube.

I checked the original video on YouTube and it's quality is very poor too. So does anyone have some answers for what's going on? Is it because Bandicam isn't very good? Or perhaps something happens when I upload it to YouTube? Or maybe even the conversion has something to do with it? Thanks in advance for any answers.
Sorry I don't know how to reply. But here's what I mean:

1) I take the video while playing Skyrim using Bandicam
2) I upload that video to YouTube (I make it private so nobody can see it)
3) I use a YouTube to mp4 converter and download it on my iMac
4) I import that video to iMovie and realize the quality is very poor

I can't just edit it on my laptop and then upload it you YouTube because I don't have any video editing software on my laptop and I don't feel like buying one. I'm also very comfortable with iMovie so I'd like to keep using that.

Answer
The main phrase in your description that stops me in my tracks is this one....

" upload these videos to YouTube and then convert them to my iMac"

Do you mean you upload your screen recording to Youtube, and then download it again to use in iMovie??????? If so, stop. Edit it before uploading to Youtube.

EDIT:
Nick, Nick, Nick. You are making me work too hard. Apple makes "laptops", so when you say "my laptop", it isn't helping. Instead, say "in Windows 7" or whatever it is. Here is what you need to ask:
"How do I edit a videoname.AVI (or whatever Bandicam likes to give you) in iMovie?"

---> DO NOT SEND ANYTHING TO YOUTUBE UNTIL IT IS DONE. <---

You will convert whatever goofy format Bandicam gives you into a standard video format, such as MPEG-4/H.264 (even Youtube says that is their PREFERRED format). Examples are Prism and "Any Video Converter". Then import the MPEG-4 file into iMovie, edit, upload to Youtube.

BTW, Windows 7 can edit videos in Windows Movie Maker, right? So you don't have to buy anything to edit video in Windows 7. Don't make me lose my mind by saying you use Windows XP. That's celebrating its 12th birthday, ancient.

And people say playing too many video games affects children adversely....
Real question I could ask is why would anyone want to watch a Youtube video of someone else playing a video game? Is that more fun that playing the game yourself? http://www.flickr.com/photos/68686857@N08/7629827986/sizes/c/in/photostream/
