What computer can edit 4K AVCHD?

I run Edius on an 6700K Asus Z170-Pro motherboard, 32 GB ram, and it will do one 4K track and two other HD camera tracks in real time multicam cutting with Edius 8.

Just wanted to make sure that you realised that for on board graphics and quick sync "speed encoding" you have to have the 6700 chip with the "K" on the end for the graphics,
and a quick sync capable motherboard. (Very hard to find that info, but on most ASUS motherboards).

Cheers,

Vaughan

Interesting. Do you know why Edius was optimized for the 6700 chip? Is it somehow matched to editing?

The EDIUS Pro8 Quicksync optimization is for any Intel CPU with integrated Quicksync GPU. It works fine with my i7 4790K not just the 6700K . The CPU of course has to be on a motherboard that will use the on board GPU. Optimization works on my Dell Laptop for instance that is not a K variant. The K variants allow overlclocking.
 
I'm a pretty-much newbie, but I get much better performance while editing when I have the footage on the resident SSD instead of on a remote drive...even if connected via fast USB. I was running into problems with some stuttering as the clip length increased, until I realized it wasn't my Macbook Pro hardware...the external drive couldn't keep up with the data rate.
 
If someone would link a DVX200 4k sample clip or two for download, I would love to test it in Lightworks on my rig. I can run 4k XAVC 200Mbps i-frame without issues, but don't know about long GOP.
