Best Computer For Avid Media Composer

We build high-end workstations designed to accelerate the pace at which companies achieve their objectives.

Here at Modena Computers, we believe there is no such thing as “one size fits all” workstations. Our years’ of experience as both hardware and software professionals has taught us that workstations are more than just the sum of their parts, and that very rarely do people or companies have the exact same workflow.

We understand that software packages make use of various components that make up your computer in very different ways. This is why we treat every customer as a unique individual with specific requirements. Every interaction starts with our consultant asking key questions in order to better understand your workflow, and what you’ll ultimately require from your workstation.

This includes not only questions about the type of software being used, but also the specific functions and features used most often in that software.

We are confident that you’ve come to the right place for the absolute Best Computer For Avid Media Composer.

Recommendations For The Best Computer For Avid Media Composer

Processor

Media Composer uses only a few fast cores for most processes, so users should opt for the fastest CPU possible. Frequency is measured in “GHz”, and this is often listed in the specs. Media Composer does use multiple cores when exporting videos, so there is an advantage to CPUs with a higher core count. Not all user workflows are the same though, so be sure and contact us for an optimized configuration.

Memory

The amount of memory you will need depends on how many programs you will have open at any given time alongside Media Composer, and the resolution and complexity of your timeline. A good starting point in deciding how much RAM you should go for would be to check your current usage via Windows Task Manager.

Graphics Card

Media Composer does not require a powerful GPU. A mid-range card would offer the best value. As always, you should keep in mind other software you use that could rely more on GPU power. Media Composer does not require a workstation grade GPU (Nvidia Quadro or AMD Radeon Pro), and we would recommend a Nvidia GeForce card for optimal performance, stability and value.

Storage

In the past, computers were held back by slow mechanical hard drives.  Unless you are storing files which are not accessed too often, in which case mechanical hard drives might be a better choice, Solid State drives should be used for everything else. Having everything stored on SSDs means you’ll be able to copy, move, open and save files quickly and PC and program start times will be reduced.

Our Modena Computers Vs “The Rest”

Frustrated by workstations from major brands, we set out to create computers that outperform anything on the market.

For For Purpose

The perfect PC is not one-size-fits-all. We'll assist you every step of the way in selecting the right configuration to meet your specific needs.

Build Quality

During production, we obsess over every computer, turning each screw by hand and tucking every wire for both cooling performance and aesthetics.

No Bloatware

Bloatware consumes resources, slowing down your computer and turning what should be a fresh start into a frustrating and cluttered experience.

Setup & Ready To Go

After meticulous assembly, testing, and benchmarking, we apply the latest updates to the operating system, application software, and drivers.

Premium Parts & Advanced Cooling

We use only the best parts in our computers, prioritising reliable and faster options over cheaper, economical alternatives that other companies may offer.

Meticulous Assembly

Each PC is built by a dedicated technician and undergoes a comprehensive multipoint QC check prior to shipment, greatly reducing the possibility of issues.

Testing Process

We subject every build to an extensive checklist, including stress and benchmarking tests, to ensure it's flawless before leaving our premises.

Longevity & Extreme Reliability

Our desktop PCs are designed to be the longest-lasting you'll ever own, thanks to the careful selection of high-quality components.
