Hey Guys,
I'm new to this forum and did a search for what I was looking for with no luck.
I'm currently doing all my post prod on my laptop, HP Pavillion 15. It was just ok ( tho slow) b4 I started using LRTimelapse with Lightroom. (Btw I love LRTimelapse).
The machine currently has:
2.1 ghz AMD Quad processor
16 GB Ram
1TB 5400rpm SATA Hard drive
AMD Radeon R7 2gB M260 graphics card &
Seagate 1TB external Hard Drive
It is really really slow with LRT. For eg today takes approx 4-5 hours exporting 1100 pics from Lightroom to LRT pre render.
I've maxed out the ram to 16 gig and cannot upgrade cpu or gpu as intergrated into motherboard.
I want to build a dedicated editing computer but can't until next year $$$.
I was thinking of upgrading my internal hard drive to an SSD to run OS and replace my optical drive with old hard drive internally as a scratch/ storage disk.. Also add an external SSD for storage and catalogue and output/ renders etc.
Does any knowledgable person out there know if this will make a substantial difference in performance?
I would welcome your thoughts or suggestions.
Thanks and great forum.
