Learning some new hobby skills, I want to engage more with the older cameras that I have to learn how to better use the features that are built into them. I have been browsing through my camera manuals and exploring YouTube to learn more about the camera controls. For now, I will be exploring mostly 1080p content at 24/30fps and experimenting now and then with 4K. Current hardware that I have:
Canon Rebel T3i
- EFS 18-55mm IS
- EFS 55-250mm IS
GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition
(Been experimenting with this on Bike Trail over the last days @ 1080p Superview W, 30fps).
iPhone 8 Plus
Soon, I plan to add a drone to the mix which will likely be one of the following:
DJI Air 2S or DJI Mini 2
I want to get my feet wet with some simple video editing. I have the following computers listed below, I expect that the PC Flt. Sim. is the best candidate for video editing. I would prefer to use a Mac, but of the ones listed they might be capable of some light duty stuff.
Model Name: 2017 MacBook Air 7,2 (2017)
2.2 GHz Intel Dual-Core i7, RAM: 8 GB
GPU (integrated): Intel HD Graphics 6000 (1536MB)
SSD: 1 TB - macOS 12.2.1
Model Name: Mac Mini Server 5,3 (Mid 2011)
2.0 GHz Intel Quad-Core i7, RAM: 16 GB
GPU (integrated): Intel HD Graphics 3000 (512MB)
SSD: 1 TB - macOS 10.15.7 (DosDude1)
SSD: 1 TB - Windows 10 Home (Boot Camp)
Model Name: MacBook Pro 8,2 (Late 2011, 15-inch Matte)
2.4 GHz Intel Quad-Core i7, RAM: 16 GB
GPU (integrated): Intel HD Graphics 3000 (512MB)
GPU (dedicated): disabled due to typical AMD failure
SSD: 480 GB - macOS 10.15.6 (DosDude1)
My PC Flight Simulator (built Fall 2020)
Logic Board: MSI - MPG Z490 Gaming Carbon WiFi, ATX, LGA 1200
- CPU: INTEL - 10th Gen i7-10700 2.9/4.8GHz 8-core LGA 1200
-- CPU Cooler: Cooler Master - Hyper 212, Black Edition
- GPU: MSI - GeForce RTX 2070 Gaming Z (8 GB)
- RAM: Corsair - 32GB (2x16GB) Vengeance Pro RGB, DDR4 PC4-25600 3200MHz
- SSD: Aura - P12 M.2 NVMe 1TB 2280 - Windows 10 Pro
Power Supply: Corsair - RM850x
Case: Phanteks - Case P400A Digital
I am trying to save my self some time with the experience of folks here on the forum. What is a good video editor to start learning with? Use it with the PC Build above for the recommendation?
If this hobby were to get serious as time went on, what video editor am I likely headed for? In other words, what are you using?
Side Question: (for some of you that have experimented with Hackintosh in the past, ever try this?)
This scenario is likely not allowed by Apple EULA, has anyone here ever tried running macOS in a virtual environment? I have seen a few YouTubers experimenting with Oracle VirtualBox.
