Fairly inexpensive license fee (perpetual).Great community support and vast knowledge base.Docker, setting up many containers like Handbrake.

WebUI accessible from anywhere on your LAN (local network).

Operating SystemДЄnyway, if it wasnвЂ™t obvious by now, the host operating system for the server is Unraid, why? Well, many reasons. Absolutely incredible! This setup will churn through tons of video footage while I work on other things. That is 16 Cores and 32 Threads at a whopping 100% usage. This type of work requires a great deal of system resources (mostly time), look at how much both CPUвЂ™s are working on this 1 minute 12 second 4k video: For me, I have the transcode set to as close as possible to lossless. Transcoding can take a very long time depending on how you have configured Handbrake (more on this later). WhatвЂ™s nice about having tons of cores working on a encode is the speed and quality of which you can throw at the video. Still scared or worried? Contact me and IвЂ™ll try my best to help you out. I highly recommend looking into the used market or buying an AMD system with as many cores as possible. Want a bit more power? Well, Dell has you covered. Working with a strict budget, try finding a Dell T30, as you can pick one of these up for under $400 on sale. It does not have to be a rack, you can also buy towers! If youвЂ™re afraid to buy from them, then be sure to check out Dells website for slick deals on used equipment. You can buy a used pre-built server for cheap off of eBay or from companies like / /. Even if you donвЂ™t suffer from my issue, you can still take 4k or 8k footage and transcode it to H.265 automatically to get the file size down. anything that can sit separately from your workstation and can chug away on video transcodes/encodes while you work. Now, IвЂ™m not saying you need a badass server like mine (although it helps) but you may want somethingвЂ¦. ItвЂ™s safe to assume I virtually spared no expense on this thing.

SanDisk Ultra Fit 16GB for unRAID OS ($6).

SFF-8087 to SATA Forward Breakout (x2 $12 each).

SATA 15-Pin Male to Dual 4-Pin Molex Female Y Splitter (x3 $4).

However, in the spirit of keeping as much as possible in a single convenient location, IвЂ™m going to give you a list of all the components of this thing. Now, I have written in decent detail about what my Unraid server looks like and what it is comprised of here. Without the server, none of this would be possible well it would but not the way that I have laid it out. So I think it is most important to start with the server because this is truly the backbone of this entire build. Then of course once all editing is done, I will just upload that to YouTube or where ever on the internet.

When Handbrake is done, it puts the finished video into the export folder, from there I can easily grab those files and import than into Final Cut Pro X at my leisure.

Handbrake seeвЂ™s that new files have been placed into the folder and begins transcoding them into a 4K 60FPS MP4 file. I have to manually pull all video from the camera into the watch folder that is on my Unraid server. As seen above, this is basically the workflow.
