InactiveI know this topic has probably been posted hundreds of times, but I need to know: Considering my budget is…limited, what is a good computer for video editing? You see, I’m not sure why I would need dual processors or two sticks of ram compared to one…I’m just kind of lost…
…also…how do I do special effects???
…also again…I’m looking for a way to port video in through a video card or something using standard (yellow) video cables

InactiveAny computer will work…….you don’t need dual processors, but one with hyperthreading technology would help. You need lots of RAM. Prefferably at least 1 gig. That can be in the form of 1 stick, 2 sticks, etc. depending on the motherboard and what you want to put in it. You do need at least one large hard-drive, two would be better as you could then dedicate 1 of them to video footage which will take up lots of space. As for capture, there are several capture boards out there that have breakout boxes that will accept the red & white audio and yellow video RCA type plugs. Not expressing any specific brand names for computers, there are lots out there for less than 2 grand. Intel processors seem to do better with video editing than AMD. Hope that helps. Kind of hard, not knowing your budget limitations.
