Yet Another Which NLE should I get thread
Ok I'm splitting this thread off the videoguys top10 thread as to not hijack it.

Video card: most NLEs can't take advantage of a powerful video card like that one. Video cards have no effect on rendering, and can accelerate real-time effects for some programs like Edition. If you plan on dual monitors (which you should, since it's cheaper than one big one) then make sure you get the right outputs. You can even go triple monitor with some of the Matrox cards. Feature length movies: Vegas isn't as good with media management as Final Cut, Premiere Pro, or Avid Xpress. I don't know about Edition or the other ones out there. If you need to online on a better system, then Final Cut and Avid will work. Unfortunately I don't cut feature-length films or use most of those NLEs so I can't tell you much about them. How much raw footage are you going to shoot? DV is 13GB/hour. Do you need 24p support? Feature-length movies: Feature length movies are a big undertaking...! $1 milllion would be a small budget for an independent film. |

10 hours Do you need 24p support? Yes |
Always figure you need about 2-3X the storage that is required to hold the raw footage. Somehow all my projects grow and grow and grow.
