I'd like to buy a laptop to use primarily for hd video editing (1080p AVCHD from my Panasonic HDC-TM90K camcorder). I'd like to use either Adobe Premiere Elements 10 or PowerDirector 10.  My hd video editing is for personal/family videos, not professional, but I still want respectable quality.</p> <p>My question is, what should I primarily focus on when selecting a laptop for running this?  From what I've researched, it looks like a fast processor, hard-drive speed, and good video card should be my main concerns.</p> <p>This is going to replace my aging hp desktop.  My price range is around $700-800.  I've looked at the spec page on the Adobe and PowerDirector websites.  I'm guessing these are minimum requirements though.  I don't want something that will just "work", but take forever to render. Final video lengths will typically be from 5 minutes to about 2 hours max.</p> <p>I'm thinking something like these two...</p> <p><a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&amp;N=100006550%2050001259%2040000032&amp;IsNodeId=1&amp;bop=And&amp;ActiveSearchResult=True&amp;CompareItemList=32%7C34-230-131%5E34-230-131-TS%2C34-214-486%5E34-214-486-TS">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&amp;N=100006550%2050001259%2040000032&amp;IsNodeId=1&amp;bop=And&amp;ActiveSearchResult=True&amp;CompareItemList=32%7C34-230-131%5E34-230-131-TS%2C34-214-486%5E34-214-486-TS</a></p> <p>My biggest concerns are: is 6 GB enough RAM and will the Intel Integrated HD Graphics card (on the Toshiba) work as well as the dedicated NVIDIA Geoforce GT-540M card (on the Asus)?  The Asus also has a bit less memory and no blu-ray player (not a big deal).  I may play some games on it, but the main purpose is for HD video editing, web-browsing, Word programs, etc...  Oh and they both have 5400 RPM hard-drives instead of 7200 RPM.</p> <p>Does anyone else here use a laptop to run Premiere Elements?  If so, what kind of system do you have?</p> <p>Thanks for any suggestions!</p> <p>Joe</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/premiere-elements-installation#post-50176 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 02:47:19 +0000 Tomsde 50176@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I just purchased Premiere Elements 7 last night and am going to install it soon.  I already owned Photoshop Elements 7 (got it with a peice of hardware), but I'm a Photoshop CS 4 user.  In your opinion, is there any reason I should install Photoshop Elements 7 as well?  Any advantages.  I used ACDSEE to orgaznize my photos and videos; I'm not fouind of Elements organizer (perfer something that works directly with files and folders).  Any advice?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/avchd-038-adobe-premiere-elements-70-038-exporting-to-dvd#post-47609 Sun, 07 Jun 2009 10:57:20 +0000 Ogriv 47609@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have a Panasonic camera using AVCHD. My editing software is Adobe Premiere Elements. When I export the quality is excellent unless I export to DVD. When I play the DVD on the TV the footage is slightly blurry. </p> <p>Using this camera and editing program, I'm trying to figure out how to get a good quality DVD.</p> <p>Once I'm done editing, should I export the project in a particular format and then use a DVD burning program to burn that format to DVD?  If so what format should I export as, and what program would be best when making the DVD?  I don't have Mac, only Windows.</p> <p>When I export a project using Windows Media or QuickTime it looks great. Is there anyway to take a Windows Media or QuickTime file and burn it to DVD so that it works on the TV?</p> <p>I love my camera and being as I am a beginner using Premiere Elements, but I've got to solve this burning it to DVD and it still looking good issue. If possible I'd like to solve this problem without buying and learning a new editing program. </p> <p>I appreciate any help.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/to-adobe-or-not-to-adobe-that-be-the-question#post-35358 Sat, 01 Mar 2008 13:02:22 +0000 DavidWebb 35358@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Okay, so I converted from Pinacle a few years ago. Elements seems to work fine for small (40 min or less) projects. Most all the projects I worked on in the past were with media captured straight to my hd.</p> <p> I've recently taken on a bigger project for a firend. He gave me hours of old home videos on 8mm tapes. My camera is an old Hi8, and does not play them. So I had to use a local service to have them converted to DVD's. I have used DVD's before to import video into elements, &amp; there's no doubt that although Elements will tolerate small VOB files, it doesn't like them. Audio synch problems, jittery video, etc.</p> <p>Now I find myself downloading all kinds of programs trying to find something that will convert to avi, which seems to be the format Elements likes. I feel like I'm junking up my hd by d/l all these dif programs to see if they work. Sometime I don't even finish the install b/c certain products only work on a limited basis for the free trial. VideoRedo is the only one that gives you a nice trial version. This solved the audio synch issues, and I would buy it, but it doesn't convert to AVI. I was using it to convert to MPEG, but now I have jittery video after rendering &amp; exporting.</p> <p> The MPEG plays beautiful straight from my hd using WMP, but once I process it with Elements (tried Nero too) the outcome is jittery.</p> <p> I'm looking for some advise. Someone who might be able to understand what I'm doing, and suggest what program(s) would work best.</p> <p>Please help!</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Jason Bourne </p> <p>My system;</p> <p>Intel Core2 Quad 6600, Asus P5NE SLI, 1gb RAM, Nvidia GForce 8600GT</p>
