My Posts This: Topic Forum | OKI ve been running Pinnacle Ultimate V12, it is alittle less memory intensive than V14, If you run any of the software to Work well with AVCHD, You ll need 2ghz of RAM, duo 2.66 or faster with plenty of hardrive and it is best to purchase a 24in AVCHD/1920x1080i monitor, That will make life easier but your billfold alittle lighter, i bought 2 Macs Pros for Direct Film Conversion to .mov,other for Editing and post processing.
With any Final Cut Pro editing system the only additional hardware that you truly need is an External Harddrive. This will allow you to keep your media/project folder on a separate drive from the one running the OS & Final Cut, which will improve both system responsiveness & versatility. (MAC ONLY)
The Final Cut pro is Best but the learning curve is slower, If you want to use the much less expensive Pinnacle, upgrade your windows based system and life will get much easier, most top pro film editors use Final Cut and many get by with a 2500 machine and a EX harddrive, but you could spend as much as 100,000 on one system and the one system can handle even full length movie editing that one person can hamdle! This can be done on the 2500.00 machine or the 100,000 machine unless your using a tape drive ....I advise staying with SD or SDHC cards...
Ap is GOOD, AV is Better ...Getting Paid to Fly is BEST ! |
