A streaming PC is worth buying for video editing when it provides codec acceleration, memory and storage for the actual footage and can also handle broadcasts. A second streaming computer is unnecessary if one system records and edits smoothly.
Test capture and post-production
Run a private stream with camera, microphone, overlays and local recording. Import that file, edit the busiest section and export the normal delivery format. Watch dropped frames, decode performance, memory, storage and temperature. Confirm audio remains synchronised.
Keep recordings, source footage and project databases backed up. A dual-PC path adds capture and audio routing that must be rehearsed. Choose it only when measured simultaneous load harms the main machine.
Streaming recordings can use variable frame rate or separate audio tracks that editing software handles differently. Test the exact OBS format and import path. A clean live stream does not guarantee an easy post-production workflow without this handoff check.
Video-editing handoff should retain original stream audio tracks. A flattened mix can make later corrections impossible even when the picture edits smoothly.
Preserve a short known-good stream file for future import comparisons.
