[SOLVED] Why is important the CPU in video editing?

[Jhon38]

Hi,
When you buy hardware for video editing, people say you that CPU is very important here, but in which part of the process is important the CPU?

Thanks a lot for reading.

Most video editing software itself is CPU intensive. The rendering part is also CPU intensive and takes a lot longer if your CPU is sub-par.

And during the edition, is the GPU the hardware most used or is the CPU, too?

Editing is done in CPU and unless you get a GPU that's made for editing with specialized SW (very expensive), it's there just to give you a picture on the screen.
