RE: Best Video Card?

Fury X is the best, right?My main concern is smooth multicam editing with 4 or 6 HD1080 cameras. One is at 60fps, the rest at 30fps. Another one is also 4k, so I wait for the proxy to be built, which is slow. Will I also need to upgrade my

That would sound like you already created the multicam track. In that case Vegas will show only one track on the timeline. No worries, press CTRL+SHIFT+D and you should see the multicam preview. This keyboard combinations enables toggling the

RE: PC refresh question

I said SATA striped raid, not M.2. If you want to start raiding M.2 you're talking about a lot of additional cost to your build, and I edit 4K multicam good enough as it is using my SATA video drives. I don't put video on my system M.2 drive. I'll

I now have some experience with the Panasonic VX981k. It's one of 4 cameras in an multicam edit, so I let it build the proxy. That takes real time, i.e., if the video is an hour, it takes an hour to build the proxy. This is on a AMD 8350 8 core
