Hello

I am looking for an all in one desktop hp computer  capable of doing video editing for home movies.  I have not done  home video editing in over ten years so I am not familiar with the computer options available today  . I  am not a professional video editor, just looking to edit home videos taken.   I heave heard apple computers are good for video editing but I have always used a PC so I am inclined to stick with a PC. Here are my questions 

which  all in one desktop models are good for video editing? 

What kind of processor is best? Intel core or amd ryzen? 

what Ram capability needed. 8 or 16?
What type of hard drive and Storage capacity needed? SSD ? 

What editing software should I use? In the past I used Pinnacle studio but don’t know if there are better friendly user editing software on the market today 
Any information or suggestions you can provide regarding all of the above will be greatly appreciated.

List of video editing software is here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_video_editing_software

 

If you had a licensed copy of Pinnacle possibly you could upgrade to the latest version .  I use Nero and am not familiar with Pinnacle.  The company I retired from, the Engineers & Analysts used Windows PCs and the Marketing / Publicity all used Apple products.  IMHO Apple editing is for professionals.

 

Nero recently switched to subscription.  I had licenses for Nero going back to when they first started but recently it makes no difference in price when upgrading if you have an older license or not.  I have no idea what Pinnacle's policy is.

 

Here is an old comparison of both.

Both products use CUDA to speed up some editing features.  Nvidia graphic cards support CUDA unlike Intel or AMD.

If the video editing software supports OpenCL then AMD, Intel and Nvidia graphic cards /  chips can accelerate video editing but not as well as CUDA.   Apple uses their own acceleration tools based on the GPU / CPU they are using.

16gb would be useful and 2 TB HDD as video files are large.
