Here's the Service Manual:
PP. 37-45 for "how to" on RAM and hard drive.
There are 2 memory slots and space for a single 2.5 inch hard drive or SSD.
The laptop can take 16 gigs of RAM. If you have 8 now, it is either 1 x 8 which means you just need to buy 1 module or it is 2 x 4, in which case you need to buy 2 x 8 gig modules of DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM
8-GB (PC3L-12800, 1600-MHz, DDR3L) 693374-001
For what you are doing you absolutely need 16 gigs of RAM and an SSD. Since you can only have a single SSD, like this for example:
You need a decent amount of storage or you need to be vigilant about storing files not currently being processed on an external drive or in the cloud. You could maybe get by with a 256, 512 would be better and 1 TB is really what you need. Video production rapidly consumes storage as I am sure you know.
Post back with any more questions. The laptop should be capable of what you want to do and for somewhere between $225 and $350 it can be made much much better; far cheaper than a whole new i7 laptop.
