Hi, we're a little new to computer editing. We shooting on XL1's and we just ordered a canopus DVRex M1/R2. It has dual intel pentium pentium III 850MHz, 256MB PC133 SDRAM, 180 GB UltraDMA Storage Configuration, and well other things of course, but I just wanted to know if that sounds capable of editing features.
Thanks |

Are you just posting this to brag?
I'd say your system is ok, but nobody can beat my system:AMD K6 300 MHZ
160 MB SDRAM
15 GB 5400 HD
Pinnacle Studio DC10+
Video Card Built in to Mobo with 1 MB Video RAM So Ha!

ROTFLOL...
Drexel? Do you have ANY idea what you're doing, or what you're talking about? I think that it would be an understatement to say, "your system is WAY overqualified to be an editing system!!!"By the way, my brother in law was just handed four (4) 512MB DIMMs for free where he works. That's over $2,000 worth of SDRAM. 2GB of RAM! Woohoo! Too bad my old socket 7 won't take 'em. Isaiah ------------------

For native DV editing you need at least a Quad-Pentium System (4 Ghz) or you'll run in problems and get dropped frames.

Um, no I'm not bragging. I have fooled around with Premeire and know a little how to use it, but I don't have clue to how this system ranks among editors. With 3 replies, I still don't think anybody answered my question. Thanks anyway though. |

To do basic video editing, all you need is a:450Mhz processor
128MB RAM
18+GB hard drive
Vidoe capture card, or capture device
4+MB video RAM There was a post that I made a few months ago, that askes what everyones computers were like. If I remember correctly, the average copmputer consisted of;
500Mhz processor
128MB SD-RAM
16-32MB Video RAM
18-25GB hard drive That being said, your computer is far superior to almost any of the ones that we use. That is nearly capble enough to be used as a silicon graphics computer. Well, ot realy, but still. Believe me when I tell you that you computer far exeeds the needs of Digital Editing. I only wish that I had a computer as good as yours.  ------------------
