Also if you have any links to good editing software please leave them down below. Thanks!

Answer
there are some good free programs,

Windows movie make for simple stuff

Blender (which is the best 3d program that is free btw) that has some video editing capabilites
also they have 3d tracking under development.

Lightworks which is similiar to after effects, use to have to pay fot his but the company recenlty made it free.

i recomend haveing both blender and lightworks so you can bring your stuff into blender add some 3d tracking and add a 3d model of watever than bring it in to lioghtworks and add some color correction and you music and watever. I have both after effects and 3ds max but also use blender and lightworks.

alienware m14x-r2 - video editing?

Russell Di

looking at getting a portable editing machine to take to uni with me and i've been looking at the alienware m14x-r2 (specs at bottom of page), and i was wondering if a 768p 14" screen is good enough to use softwares like premier pro cs6, after effects cs6, maya, 3ds max and mudbox on with the screen size creating any issues for me

i7 3720qm 2.6ghz (turbo 3.6ghz)
12gb ram
500gb 7200rpm HDD
GT 650m 2gb GDDR5 graphics
1366x768 14" HD monitor

Answer
yes, the i7 3720qm is a quad-core processor that best for video editing program. Also the GT 650m is an extreme graphic card that good for rendering/graphic demanding process. That means this M14x should run premier pro cs6, after effects cs6, maya, 3ds max and mudbox smoothly.

Best Laptop for Video Editing?

Leo

So I have been saving up money for a new laptop for awhile now and am looking to invest it in the best possible laptop for primarily video editing. Currently my laptop has plenty of memory and ram but the processor is only at 1.5 GHz and is an HP Laptop. I think that there's intel processor's with a 3.6 Ghz and wondering if I should try for something like that? Or if there is a specific laptop or even just a laptop that has the compatibility to upgrade to a higher processor like that it would be great.

The use would involve heavy RAW filed photo and video editing along with special effects design and music editing.
Thank you.

Answer
You need something with a good processor, and a ***tload of RAM.

Look for:
i7-3610QM, i7-3630QM, i7-3840QM
16GB+ RAM
Graphics card doesn't matter.
256GB+ Solid State Drive

You didn't list your budget, but this build could easily cost upwards of $1500 or more.


I rarely say this on YAnswers, but a desktop is a more practical solution for heavy video editing if you want it done fast.
Disregard that if you really want a laptop.

What Laptop is Best for Video Editing?

Sir_Knows_

I'm becoming more and more interested in video editing, so I personally would like to get a laptop(no matter what the price) that would both perform great for video editing and also for everyday needs(internet and typing). Any brand of laptop would be great! Thanks!

Answer
Buying a laptop is a complicated decision which will probably affect you daily for the next few years.

In addition to price and specs, you want to consider things such as ease-of-use, speed, reliability, stylish-design and tech-support.

Different people would have different opinions.

Therefore, I would recommend you to check ProCompare.com (http://www.procompare.com/top/Notebooks). They have a recommendation engine that ranks laptops and other tech products based on ratings and reviews from a community of trusted IT professionals. They also have a cool personalization slider that lets you personalize the results based on the criteria that are most important to YOU.

Hope you'll find this answer useful...
