Im trying to do editing on my laptop but its painfully slow even after upgrading some things. Ive gone to a solid state hard drive which helped speed it up enough to make it usable but Its still slow and pegs out my CPU all the time. I have a i5 dual core cpu. I upgraded my system from 4GB to 8GB of DDR3 memory and that didnt seem to have much affect at all if any. So I guess my question is if I upgrade to a 4,6, or 8 core CPU will it cash the files faster? How many cpu core willl AVS really utilize? Does AVS use my GPU from my graphics card at all or does it use all CPU to process the video?

I currently trying to do it from my laptop so I can do it whether Im at home or when im at work and not busy but if GPU makes a big difference I could get a solid state drive and maybe another CPU for it since i have a decent video card in it. Radeon HD 7770. Can anyone answer these questions or point me in the right direction? I mean it doesnt have to be super fast but waiting an hour or 2 for all the video files to cache before i can even start manipulating them without having it stutter real bad isnt cutting it. Even after everything is cached it doesnt play straight through a cut it always pauses at least for a second and messes up the sound so I cant tell if I got a good splice in there or not.

Hello,

AVS Video Editor uses all available cores during caching, editing and converting.

The partial use of GPU has already been implemented in AVS Video Editor. Now the graphics processor is used for many editing operations which has made the work of the program much faster. However, GPU hardware acceleration is not yet used for conversion. Our developers consider using GPU acceleration in the conversion process as well, but there are no definite release plans yet.

Please make sure multi-thead conversion priority is chosen in the program settings (follow Edit >> Settings >> Processing >> Conversion Priority >> Mult-thread if available).

So if I already have a solid state hard drive and 8GB of RAM the only way to make AVS editor preform faster would be to upgrade from a dual core CPU to one that has more cores and get a better video card?

If I could only upgrade one of those two items (CPU and video card) which one would be the best for increasing speed of the program while editing? Im editing 2 1080p videos at the same time, shot from 2 different angles and one is used as the base video and the other is used as an overlay. Most of the overlay is eventually cut out with the exception of specific pieces. It takes forever for the program to cache the videos and until it does they are almost unworkable. once they are cached then they become workable but I constantly experience program crashes and everytime I go to make an edit the whole screen of the program goes black while the rest of the screen surrounding it (I dont work in fullscreen mode) goes white. Then it will eventually either open up the particular edit screen I want or it will crash.

How many cores will AVS use? I know AMD makes some CPUs now with 12 or more cores.

Ok Anna from customer support gave me a generic answer about uninstalling and reinstalling the latest software. I already have the latest software and the program worked fine with the exception of being a little slow back when I was only editing 1 1080p video instead of 2 at a time which leads me to believe I need to upgrade either my CPU or my GPU. You said that AVS uses the GPU while editing and the CPU for processing the video once your done. I asked how to make the program faster while editing and Anna said to upgrade my CPU. That is contrary to what you told me.

Anna also did not answer my question about how many cores AVS will truely utilize. I dont wanna buy an 8 core CPU if the program only truely utilizes 4 cores of a CPU. I would have asked Anna this stuff except I see no way to reply to her answer of the ticket you submitted me only a way to start a new ticket. Kinda lame have a support system if they dont provide a way to follow up on an answer that isnt complete or someone may not fully understand.

Hello,
We regret any inconvenience caused.
The instructions on unistalling AVS Software were given because you stated that AVS Video Editor crashed:

As we have already mentioned previously in this thread, AVS Video Editor uses all available cores during caching, editing and converting.
However, we would recommend also upgrading SSD hard disc to increase the speed of AVS Video Editor's performance while editing.
