Ive been doing alot of video editing recently, to my frustration, all my exports/ renders are very jerking during Pan shots. This improves when the video size/ quality is reduced. But whats the point?
Ive done a quick search, and it appears i need 2 seperate, Dedicated HDD's. 1 HDD for the content and for the Editing program to read from, and another for it to write/ export the data too. (And a 3rd for General OS etc) as when exporting, the drive is reading and writing the video, whilst doesnt stuff in the background.
Now, theres alot of talk of RAID in these threads. Basically, its confused the hell out of me.
Basically, Heres what im looking at.
HDD 1 = 250GB
HDD 2 = 80GB (Video Storage and Read)
HDD 3 = 80GB (Video Export and Write)
do i "NEED" this RAID Stuff? Is it not as simple, as plug the buggers in and get editing? is RAID needed? Can i just plug 2 additional drives in without any additional work needed?
