MP 1,1-5,1 Upgrading the Mac Pro 5,1 for Video Editing

[MacScout]

I put together a video detailing the benchmarks and usability of my upgraded Mac Pro 5,1 for video editing:

Here's a list of the upgraded Hardware:
Mac Pro, Mid-2010 5,1 Dual 3.46Ghz 12 Core CPUs
Radeon VII 16gb GPU
2tb NVME Boot Drive on a PCIe Board
4tb Raid NVME Scratch Disk on a Sonnet M.2 4x4
48tb WD Gold (12tb Each) Archival Drives
6tb WD Backup Drive
Blu Ray Optical Drive
96gb OWC Triple Channel 1333mhz DDR3 RAM
Sonnet USB 3.0 PCIE OS 10.14.6 Mojave

Bit overkill imho.

I only do 1080 but I have a 5.1 hex core, Nvme boot drive, and nvme scratch disk, w a 7970 and a few HDDs for storage. Works aces.

If you’re doing a ton of filters or effects maybe more cpu would help but I have no issue w mine as is.
