What type of pc/software do you recommend?
I am looking to build a new PC for DV editing. I am getting into the event videography business. I can't decide whether to just use my existing amd 3000+, 2gb ram, 9800 pro and add a matrox rtx100 card and some more storage space or to build a new computer.
Will the above config work well for dv editing? If not what would you recommend? I am going to be filming using a pd170. I was thinking of using the adobe software that comes with the matrox rtx100 card. |
You didn't mention how much storage you have, but I would say your system is more than adequate.

I will be buying 500gb of external HDD space. Is there a huge difference between my AMD machine and a new dual processor setup?
Also...Does the Matrox RT100 package offer 100% RT editing? Waiting for renders is a pain... |

Hi Paul,
Your computer setup should be fine for running Premiere and an RTX100. You do not really need an RTX100 as most of the stuff in PP is real-time. However what you do get if you go for an RTX100 is: Real-time MPEG 2IBP import and export BITC (Burned in time code) analogue in and out lots of real time effects... Check this document out: http://www.matrox.com/video/products...re_summary.pdf Check this page for the RTX 100 system requirements: http://www.matrox.com/video/support/...o/rec/home.cfm I would suggest to try and get a demo with the RTX 100 and download the tryout for PP from adobes website. cheers, |
What Ed said.
You have a great system for it. You could spend more, but the gain would not knock your socks off. As mentioned, throw in HD space. 1 hour of tape is about 13GB. Edit, render, and make a DVD and you have double it. I had one project run to about 100GB and I was seriously and aggressively economizing on space. It could have used 200GB easily. It you are working on more than one at a time, it racks up. |
Is Premiere Pro as robust as Final Cut Pro?

Paul,
Thats very subjective... For a start they both run on different platforms. Some say running on a Mac is faster and less prone to crashes, where as others will disagree. They both have pros and cons. Its a bit like comparing apple and pears... Please do not turn this thread into a platform war. Cheers, |
