Is my PC up to editing HDV?
Other than the video card which I know would need adding on (I currently have an X800 256mb card); as well as me purchasing new hard disks to store all the extra info...
Is an AMD 64 3500+ with 1GB Dual Channel RAM enough to edit HDV footage or am I looking at needing to upgrade... if it will edit it just, thats ok for the moment at least till money starts coming in and then I can upgrade. Cheers in advance

Ok
Hey Ben,
You should be ok with that setup. However I really suggest a couple of things; 1. up your ram before worrying about your video card. 2 Gigs is a good place to start. 2. Purchase Cineform's HD Connect. It will make editing a whole lot more enjoyable. Much better performace, and quality. Well good luck and have fun. |

The video card should be fine. As Darrin mentioned, upping RAM to 2 gigs would be a very good idea. A dual core processor would probably be the next upgrade that would help the most (by far).

Cheers guys, I believe my brother new PC is a Dual Core Intel Celeron 850... I might have a look at that...
I've heard good things about Cineform but I've been trained pretty much on Premier Pro 2.0. Once we have a little money that we can put to the side I might have a look at it...

Darren is right--try a Proxy editor with Connect HD or try Vegas and combine it with VASST's Gearshift. www.vasst.com

If you were running Avid Liquid 7.x, then the answer would be yes.
