What computer PC system requirements are needed for easy, smooth video
editing of high definition video files (or is this an elusive imaginary
quest?). My friend and me want to get into indie filmmaking, soon will
buy Canon XH-A1 HD camcorders. But as we are experimenting with a 4 minute
130MB HD video clip off canon's website (about 2000x1000 resolution), we
are finding it very difficult to impossible to play back with or without
audio in various video editors (Adobe Premiere Pro, etc). WTF is needed
in order to edit HD video?
Current system is dual core Athlon 64 x2 4000+ cpu, 4GB RAM, SATA-2 400GB
hard drive (3Gb/sec), SLI motherboard with two nvidia GeForce 7900 GT
256MB graphics cards. I mean shit, what more is needed, do we need to
build a quad core system, set up RAID 0 (striped array)? Willing to do so,
just want to know what it takes to know what we are in for. Should we move
to Mac OS? Final Cut Pro? What?!? Any help appreciated, very frustrating.
