If you can get your software to use the GPU for rendering, that might be the biggest improvement. I found the jump from i3 to i7 made a difference to my encode times in Premier Pro, but not nearly as much as getting it to use the GPU for encoding did.
I overhauled the thing middle of last year and it's now a fairly decent gaming rig. I sold the Macbook about 6 years ago now and have used a Windows PC since, exactly because it everything I need and didn't involve switching machine to switch tasks.
Sure, the Mac software was cleaner, for want of a better way of putting it, but it just crawled so badly towards the end. I used to buy in to that, had a PC for gaming and a Mac for photo and video stuff (this is going back some years now, it was a Gen 1 Macbook Pro), but eventually I started doing everything on the PC because as time went on and I put in upgraded parts to keep up with the increase in games requirements, I found it did eveything technically better. Traditionally, you got a Mac if you wanted to do video/graphics/photo work, you got a PC for gaming. I am not meaning you have to spend $300 on software, but choose something popular. As in, there are thousands of how-to's for FCP whereas "Bob's free obscure vid app" will have next to nothing. I would choose something that is somewhat popular, as there is a better chance at how-to videos being easily available. The more you learn about the single piece of software the faster you will be at it. The key is to pick something and stick with it. It isnt all I have used, as I said above, I have edited stuff on my iPad and I have even done some on a windows machine with the GoPro software (as that is all I had at that time). I dont just edit my motorcycle video on it, I do other short films as well, so I use FCP the most, as that is what I am used to. I happen to run on a Mac (2011 17" MBP) and have no need to change right now - it works and is fast enough for me. Talk about simple and just enough to get the video out.
#PC OR MAC FOR VIDEO EDITING 2016 FULL#
Are you going to have to run the full editing suite, or can you get by with the included software? I edited my last video on my iPad using iMovie. It comes down to how fancy do you want to get with your editing. It is going to come down, actually, to what you want to use for the editing tools. Anyone who says otherwise is just ignorant. You don't have to have a Mac to do video. What you have is fine, however I would get out of the i3 processor.
