Things have changed. We recently purchased a Nikon D7000 and I'm finding the clips to be 'jumpy' when in the editing software. I set the camera at 720 HD 30 frames. My laptop is running XP Version 2002. Processor 1.70GHz; 1.23 GB RAM. I realize the company should upgrade the laptop. What I'm trying to is find either a reasonably priced laptop (PC because all our software is PC) or better handle the MOV files. A Dell product would be great because the company has Dell account but I'm willing to find anything that works better. Or if somebody has a suggestion that would be great because I'd rather not see our business manager jump out the window when I give her the costs.

The processor speed (even more so than the graphics card) determines nearly 90% of your computer's editing capability (how well it handles software). There's more to good editing capabilities than a good graphics card.</p> <p>Also, the vast majority of horse-power graphics cards are expensive. If your system is within five years old, you probably have a good, stable graphics card that's good enough for editing.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/graphics-card-help#post-51970 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:20:03 +0000 Blake Larson 51970@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>About a year ago I got my first editing software, Pinnacle Studio Ultimate V.12. Now I was coming from movie maker so I didn.t care when it said magic bullet looks couldn't work on my computter. Now i'm on v.14 and it still has magic bullet. Once again it shows an error.

I'm afraid to know much your high-end Dell system costed, though I'd do the same thing if I could afford it. Your PC will run just fine for video editing. Like composite said, getting an external hardrive is necesary if you don't want your system bogged down by storing large amounts of data, despite the storge capability of your internal SATA hadrive.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/here-is-my-setup-wil-it-run-vegas-with-no-problems#post-46434 Mon, 04 May 2009 11:48:16 +0000 composite1 46434@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Bow,</p> <p>Yeah, that will work just fine. But you need a second harddrive big time. You do not want to have your OS, NLE software, projects, project previews, video, graphic and audio source media all on the same drive. That's beggin' for trouble with a platinum plated cup. You should partition your current drive (50/50 should work nicely) just so you can have a separate place to store project files and non-video graphics until you can get another drive in there. A good alternative is an external drive preferrably firewire or esata (if your rig has built-in support or if you don't mind spending $45 or more for a PCI esata card) Firewire's built-in unless you want a firewire 800 capable drive. Don't forget to get a UPS backup at least 200w over what your system's power supply is and some reasonable 5.1 (Vegas doesn't support 7.1) speakers to take advantage of that capability. Looks like a 21" monitor came with it. Normally, I say get two monitors (which BTW you should if your serious about editing) but your options are to either; get another similar monitor or get an in expensive HD LCD TV to use as a client monitor. Vegas will link up to either, but when you use supporting programs like photoshop, after effects and others having that second monitor will come in handy. Having a second monitor with Vegas works well too because when you're doing your effects work in Vegas you have room to put the effects editor on the second screen.</p> <p>Those are just some extras you should be seriously considering. Next time don't get the 'Home' version of any Windows product to put on your nle workstation. You won't have many of the technical controls over the OS you need that you get with 'Pro' or 'Business' versions. You also don't get all of that extra junk that comes with it. Sounds like you're just starting out so you did what you had to. Otherwise, that system should get you started no prob.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/here-is-my-setup-wil-it-run-vegas-with-no-problems#post-46433 Mon, 04 May 2009 10:35:51 +0000 bowhunter 46433@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I just ordered my computer to start editing video, do you think this will be satisfactory to edit SD and HD video with Sony Vegas 8?</p> <p>Dell Studio XPS 435</p> <p>Intel Core i7-920 processor(8MB L2 Cache, 2.66GHz)</p> <p>Windows Vista Home Premium Edition SP1, 64 bit</p> <p>6GB Tri Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1066MHz- 6 DIMMs</p> <p>750GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive</p> <p>Dual Drives: Blu-ray burner(writes to DVD/CD/BD) and DVD+/-RW</p> <p>ATI Radeon HD 4670 512MB video card</p> <p>Intergrated 7.1 Channel Audio</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/applehp-or-dell-for-video-editing#post-37328 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 16:04:47 +0000 film814 37328@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>If you want to get the most bang for your buck, then definitely build your own PC.  If you spend 1500-2000 bucks, build it your self, install only what you need (OS, drivers, and editing software) and keep it completely off of the internet, you can get a stable PC that will compete (horsepower-wise) with a 3k Mac Pro.  True, Mac's stability is rock solid.  What most people don't realize is that a lot of the problems with PCs come from the average users stupidity (i.e. downloading dangerous software and not being careful on the internet.)  If you keep your PC off of the internet completely, and only install the programs you need, you will never get a virus etc.</p> <p>This is not to bash Apple.  I think they are fantastic, and that Microsoft ought to learn a few things from them.  But I think that the majority of PC problems come from the PC manufacturers  (Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc.) not from the OS and hardware manufacturers.</p> <p>So, unless you really want a Mac, I would say that the most money-efficient route would be to build your own.  Hope this is of some help.</p> <p>Jeremy</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/applehp-or-dell-for-video-editing#post-37326 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 13:04:21 +0000 Bowman15 37326@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>My only recommendation is to not get a Dell. I might get bashed for this but I think Dells suck. I have used a couple of them and their processing speed slows way down over a little while. My harddrive crashed on mine and another friend had dthe same problem with his laptop. HP is a good PC but also look into sony computers. Macs are awesome though and it depends on personal opinion there.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/applehp-or-dell-for-video-editing#post-37310 Mon, 09 Jun 2008 15:49:43 +0000 Johnboy 37310@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>if you are considering the PC route, you can custom build a pc with very nice specs for less than $1700.  it's not hard to do and you know what's in it and what programs are installed because you did it.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/applehp-or-dell-for-video-editing#post-37280 Sun, 08 Jun 2008 18:14:48 +0000 LDPLDP 37280@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> What you get depends on how much time you need to process your video.  A Mac Pro (I have a Mac Pro w/quad processors) can take a one hour movie (after I have done all the editing) less than 2 hours to render, compress, and burn on a DVD.</p> <p> Now, my wife just bought a MacBook with the 2.5 ghertz Intel processor.  It is very fast.  You'll need an external harddrive to store any unnecessary files so that the internal drive is available for processing.  It cost @ $1,200.  And it can process a movie in around 2 hours.  Make sure if you get any new Mac, that you then download for free iMovie 6 which is a better movie editing software than the current iMovie.  the MacBook Pro laptop costs $800 more but I don't think you get that much more for the money.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/applehp-or-dell-for-video-editing#post-37250 Sat, 07 Jun 2008 13:21:51 +0000 robGRAUERT 37250@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I agree with D0n.
