can the Ryzen 5 1600 do 4k After effects and editing

[Esskay1]

Deciding between the Ryzen 5 1600 and the Ryzen 7 1700. I may plan on doing 4k editing and after effects in the future... I know the Ryzen 5 1600 can edit in 1080p and 1440p but what about 4k? Please dont send me benchmarks unless you can explain them to me. CPU benchmarks are confusing. I'm getting a GTX 1070 graphics card and 16 gigs of RAM if it helps.

easily, it just takes longer to render.
The most important part is you buy a 250gb ssd to save you time.

How much longer? So for example, 20 minute 4k short film. would it only take a couple minutes longer or like half an hour?

cant tell exactly but from reviews (translate , dutch hardware review website) : https://nl.hardware.info/reviews/7449/5/amd-ryzen-5-1400-en-1600-review-bang-for-your-buck-benchmarks-3d-rendering-cinebench--blender

the 1700 is roughly 25%-30% faster than the 1600

Okay thanks a lot for the help! I'm going to go with the Ryzen 5 1600.

For rendering and video editing, you will basically want
1. every extra cores you can get.
2. as big as RAM you can get
3. as fast as storage you can get, m.2 SSD is the best, if your mobo supports it.
4. if your software can use CUDA cores or OpenGL, get also the best out of this.

You plan to have:
- GTX1070, this should be already enough. Forget GTX1080, go to GTX1080Ti, if you want something stronger...psst!..you can game on it as bonus...
- 16GB RAM. Can you still bump up to 32GB?
- Ryzen 7 is a minimum. Go to Threadripper if you can still afford it. (I am also still planning/considering to upgrade my E3-1231V3 to any of these Ryzen 7 or Threadrippers)
- Get a mobo with m.2 support and get a really fast SSD with this interface.

You can just buy 16gb of ram for now, and then buy 2 more sticks later to make 32gb.

As a requirement for 4k editing? Ouch. I can't afford that right now though this is my first non off the shelf computer so maybe if I plan of needing it I'll go bigger next time. I'm mostly doing gaming on it at the moment though I wanted higher quality video editing as I'm doing VCE Media next year and I got selected to be in a select entry film school. They don't say you need a good PC as a requirement but I'll think it'll help greatly. Thanks!

Yeah, If 16 gigs is an issue I'll get 32 gb later.

For editing and rendering, there is no such word as requirements, if you already have at least an i5 performance class.
The stronger your PC is, the faster it will do those things.
If you do those works professionally, time is important.

idk why you guys are making it more confusing than it is.

better hardware will shorten the rendering times ,its not a requirement

end.
