System Requirements

ORAPHIM leverages advanced 32-bit float rendering and real-time GPU acceleration to provide a seamless post-production experience. To ensure stable and responsive performance, especially when working with high-resolution media (4K, 8K) or complex node graphs, your system should meet or exceed the following specifications.

Minimum Requirements

The minimum requirements are suitable for basic 1080p HD editing, simple color grading, and lightweight motion graphics.

  • Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit), macOS 12 (Monterey), or CentOS 7.3+
  • Processor: Intel Core i5 / AMD Ryzen 5 (4+ cores) or Apple Silicon M1
  • Memory (RAM): 16 GB
  • GPU: NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel GPU with at least 4 GB of VRAM and Vulkan 1.2 support.
  • Storage: 2 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; fast SSD for media storage.
  • Display: 1920x1080 resolution monitor.

Recommended Specifications

The recommended specifications provide optimal performance for 4K video editing, complex procedural node networks, heavy color grading with noise reduction, and fairlight audio mixing.

  • Operating System: Windows 11 (64-bit), macOS 14 (Sonoma), or Rocky Linux 8.6+
  • Processor: Intel Core i7/i9 (12th Gen+) / AMD Ryzen 9 / Threadripper or Apple Silicon M2/M3 Max/Ultra
  • Memory (RAM): 32 GB (64 GB or more recommended for heavy node compositing and Fusion-style workflows)
  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3080 / 4080 / 4090 or AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX with 12 GB+ of VRAM (16 GB+ highly recommended for 8K timelines).
  • Storage: NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for media cache and project databases.
  • Display: Dual 4K GUI monitors, plus a dedicated calibrated reference monitor via hardware I/O (e.g., DeckLink).

Hardware Acceleration

ORAPHIM heavily utilizes the GPU for compute tasks. For Windows and Linux users, ensure you install the NVIDIA Studio Driver (rather than the Game Ready Driver) for maximum stability.

ORAPHIM supports hardware-accelerated decoding and encoding for H.264, H.265 (HEVC), and AV1 formats on supported Intel Quick Sync, NVIDIA NVDEC/NVENC, and AMD AMF hardware. Apple Silicon Macs feature native hardware acceleration for ProRes, H.264, and H.265.

Audio Hardware

While ORAPHIM functions perfectly with standard system audio, for professional audio mixing in the Audio Workspace, we recommend using a dedicated ASIO (Windows) or Core Audio (macOS) interface with low latency. Midi control surfaces and Mackie Control Universal (MCU) protocol devices are fully supported.
