An opinion piece argues that RAM matters for video editing but more RAM isn’t a cure-all amid a RAM shortage and rising prices. For most 4K editing, 32GB is a practical sweet spot; 64GB benefits longer timelines and heavier VFX, while 8–16GB is usually insufficient. Budget-minded editors can use DDR4 on older systems or proxy media, though DDR5 kits remain costly. The RAM crunch could ease around 2028 as prices normalize.
