One light and thin notebook, enough to meet the 4K video clip needs of the UP owner

Now is the era of "We Media for All", and college students have also become an important part of UP owners. For example, the "old tomato" and "classmate He" in the small broken station have become the models for thousands of college students to successfully go out of the circle of UP owners, which also makes us loyal fans have an impulse to record life and share knowledge.

However, when it comes to short video UP owners, we have to mention the shooting and editing work. It is not difficult to see that the image quality of the shooting vlog has gradually improved, and the 4K micro single device has become the basis for UP to ensure the image quality. However, recording 30fps 4K video for one minute requires a capacity of several hundred megabytes to one gigabyte. The simple editing software of mobile phones is difficult to meet the needs of difficult editing Notebook computer Is the best choice for editing.

Choose from high performance Flimsy edition After a lot of screening, HP Star 14 Pro high-performance lightweight notebook was finally selected. As a man of science and engineering, he gave priority to the hardware performance required for video cutting, followed by the screen display effect. Personally, I think these two items are very important in color mixing, coding, transcoding, compression, rendering and composite output in the main post production of UP.

In terms of hardware performance, HP Star 14Pro provides the version equipped with the 12th generation Core processor. Since the image processing ability is valued when editing, the configuration of Core i5+RTX2050 light tracking unique display is selected, which has more advantages in video rendering acceleration.

The 12th generation Core i5-1235U processor on the HP Star 14Pro that was actually edited today has 2 performance cores+8 energy efficiency cores, a total of 10 cores and 12 threads. The TDP power consumption is designed to be 15 watts, the main frequency is 1.3GHz, and the Remax frequency can reach 4.4GHz.

In addition, the HP Star 14Pro is also equipped with an RTX2050 optical tracking independent graphics card. At present, the RTX2050 optical tracking independent graphics card is mainly used in high-performance lightweight notebooks, and supports NVIDIA Encoder encoder, ray tracing, DLSS, Reflex, Broadcast, Optimus and other functional technologies.

With RTX2050 optical tracking independent video card notebook It will have more advantages in the speed of video rendering and encoding. In particular, the NVIDIAEncoder encoder can greatly release the load pressure of CPU and memory when rendering and outputting video.

In the measurement of comprehensive productivity, we first used PCMark 10 to evaluate the whole machine. The result is that the total score of PCMark10 modern office test is 4921 points, including 8356 points for common basic functions, 7890 points for productivity, and 4907 points for digital content creation. stay Frivolous notebook This is really a good performance.

It is also worth noting that in the sub score test project of digital content creation, the photo editing score was 5918, the rendering and visualization score was 5238, and the video editing score was 3812, which is much higher than that of notebooks without independent graphics cards.

Looking at the software measurement part, there is no doubt that Adobe PremierePro is still the most commonly used software tool in the main editing of UP. From the perspective of Adobe's graphics, images and editing tools, PR mainly depends on the number of cores, and multi-core accelerates the rendering of video and models, while AE relies more on the performance of a single core.

In the actual editing process, we put four 4KH.265 videos into the Adobe PremierePro timeline to exert pressure on the notebook, with a total duration of about 10 minutes. The first experience is video preview, which is very common for UP owners who repeatedly watch clip convergence effects. Without adding special effects and transitions, HP Star 14 Pro's overall preview screen does not appear to be clearly stuck, and it plays smoothly without adjusting settings. This is critical for Adobe Premier Pro to save time and improve clip efficiency.

Whether you drag the timeline repeatedly in the video clip, preview the video, or render and output the video, you need to rely on CPU calculations to complete. This is especially true in the rendering process. Adobe PremierePro takes a lot of CPU when outputting. You can see the multi-core advantages and make full use of them to improve the rendering speed. It takes about 15 minutes for 10 minutes of 4K video to output 4K image quality.

The rendering speed will be faster for most 1080P pictures taken by our mobile phones at ordinary times. In addition to the RTX2050 ray tracing independent graphics card equipped with HP Star 14 Pro, the rendering acceleration can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The work of video editing also puts forward higher requirements for screen quality, which is basically in the same important position as notebook hardware configuration. After all, this is an interactive "window" that we have to face every day, whether it is editing text, processing images, watching videos, or playing games.

In video editing, the captured materials need to be uniformly colored. A high-quality screen that can meet the requirements of high resolution, high brush and high color gamut is relatively important for the color accuracy and unified picture sense of video output.

HP Star 14Pro is equipped with a 2.8K high resolution, 90Hz high refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 high color gamut. It supports 10bit color depth, 500nits high brightness, and 1000000:1 contrast in HDR mode. All parameters can be said that HP Star 14Pro is basically full.

The HP Star 14 Pro screen specification gave me a lot of surprises. The configuration was comprehensively upgraded, especially thanks to the introduction of OLED materials. The screen has been comprehensively improved in "contrast", "color accuracy", "gamut range", "color quantity", "screen brightness", "response speed" and other dimensions. The intuitive experience is that the display effect of the screen is very transparent, and the fineness of the screen forms a "world of difference" with the traditional LCD screen.

The measured color gamut covers 100% sRGB, 96% Adobe RGB, 100% P3, 95% NTSC; The maximum brightness under non HDR is 409.2nits, and the maximum contrast is 15040:1; Average color accuracyΔ E=0.88， The maximum value is only 1.89. From the test results, this machine is very eye-catching in terms of color gamut, brightness and color accuracy, and has obvious advantages over models at the same price.

"No good sound, no good show can come out". The HP Star 14Pro is also equipped with professional tuning audio B&O certified dual speakers, which are distributed on both sides of the front of the D shell of the body. The actual sound quality, whether the background sound or the voice, is clearer and brighter than that of the ordinary notebook speakers.

By the way, in addition to the standard A and C ports, HP Star 14Pro also provides the standard 3.5mm headphone interface, SD card interface and HDMI output interface, which also provide great convenience for video editing. Compared with many thin and light books on the market with "castration" interface problems, this HP Star 14 Pro actually gives better consideration.

In addition, HP Star 14Pro has built-in "Huixiaowei" intelligence Voice Assistant It also left a deep impression on me. I can get information, news, time and other contents through intelligent AI.

Among them, the subtitle translation function of Huixiaowei is very practical, which can translate the system sound in real time and translate between Chinese and English. Suspend the subtitle box at the bottom of the screen. For content producers, sometimes they will watch some original English videos to get information, so they will no longer have to worry about poor English and knowledge sharing.

summary

Starting with HP Star 14Pro, I officially started my UP video journey. Through the task of daily learning and editing short videos for a short period of time, HP Star 14Pro is fully qualified for the current work, and can also take into account the needs of portable travel and video entertainment. The clear and transparent experience of the 2.8K screen in video editing and playback is commendable, which also exceeded the original purchase expectations.

From the perspective of office productivity alone, document office, picture editing and production of HP Star 14Pro are more than enough.
