Professional video editors need robust hardware and software solutions that operate fast and have detailed displays. One of the best PC solutions available for this type of work is the HP Z820.  With two Intel Xeon processors and the NVIDIA Quadro K4000, it is the fastest Workstation in the Z series.

After you have made the decision to use the HP Z820 Workstation for professional video editing, you can do even more to improve your work experience. Selecting the right software, adding the best display solutions, and using the built-in tools to optimize workflow will ensure that you get the most from your technology investment.

3 Video Editing Tips for the HP Z820 Workstation

  1. Use compatible software - Video editing software solutions like Avid Media Composer or Adobe Premiere Pro CC are designed to work well on certain HP Workstations, including the Z820. Using compatible software helps ensure that your applications will run quickly and reliably so can work efficiently and effectively.
  2. Use optimized displays - Video editing requires more than just a fast processor; you also need to see your work at a very high resolution. HP Workstations have the power to provide professional quality video editing solutions, but if your display is not also optimized for this type of work, you could be missing out. HP Z1 All-in-One and DreamColor Displays ensure that you have the graphic quality you need.
  3. Use Remote Graphics Software - RGS allows you to collaborate with clients and colleagues, no matter where you are located. This software is included on all HP Workstations and requires no extra hardware or subscription fees. Share your work in real-time, even video and large graphics, without sacrificing quality. No matter what video editing applications you decide to use, RGS allows you to show off your work whenever and wherever you want to.
