in HitFilm

Hey I have played around with hitfilm in the past but I was a mac user. My mac is old and no longer updates and I am thinking about getting a new PC I don't have a lot of money but the one I am look at has AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Processor, GeForce RTX 3060, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB PCIe SSD + 1TB HDD. Its made my aesus. I would probably add another 16 gig of ram to it.

    Yeah, that's pretty solid. Going to 32GB RAM is a good idea. Also, HDD's can be slow for video editing - especially in 4k. If you can do a second 1TB SSD instead of HDD, that would be helpful.

    Yeah that's pretty good speed, similar to what I'm looking at but in laptop form. I've only ever used HitFilm with Intel, but I am told AMD is not stable.

    I think the AMD is not stable line of thinking is more towards AMD GPUs. Their GPU drivers have historically been a little shaky, quality wise. Of course there is the current outstanding AMD GPU hardware decode bug. Unfixed for a while (with respect to Hitfilm at least). In the enthusiast build your own PC world, AMD CPUs have be the bigger sellers for a while now. Intel has been in catch up mode.

    Would definitely stick with NVidia on the GPU side. I don't think there is much difference with your CPU as long as you are above Minimum spec - Processor: 6th Generation Intel® Core™ i5 (2015), AMD Ryzen 5 (2017), Apple Silicon (2020)*. But the newer the better.

    Personal preference for CPU/GPU is Intel/NVidia. But AMD/NVidia should do you fine.

    Just to add, when spec-ing out any system build for video editing and graphics - Stretch to buy the meanest screaminist system you can afford. You really want high performance from your GPU/CPU combo and, of course, SSD for the OS and a second (or more) SSD's for video and project assets.

    The more you can afford now will future-proof you for longer than taking a cheaper/less performance route. You're going to have this machine for a while - make it last with quality and high performance components.

    FWIW, I used an AMD FX8350 CPU with a NVidia 1060 and now a 1660TI with no issues or conflicts at all.
