Is 32GB of RAM worth it for 4K video editing?

Yes, if your 16GB is pegged at 100% while editing, more RAM will smooth things out. Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut all love RAM—going from 16GB to 32GB gives your timeline room to breathe, especially with multicam, effects, or high bitrate footage. It’s the single biggest upgrade you can make for $50–100 if memory pressure is your bottleneck.
