| Hi there, I once used Premiere for a period of time for editing a 30 second clip. And I can tell you it runs hell slow on my P4 2.8ghz with 512mb RAM. You should get a Pentium D if you have the cash. |

...I recently purchased a SONY VAIO PC MEDIA Edition. It is loaded with RAM ROM GIGS HIGH SPEEDS and several Media softwares. It has Adobe Premiere and Win Movie Maker. Though I have not used either in any detail, I would have to say that Premiere seems to have what it takes to produce a quality video. I have just started editing with SONY VEGAS. It looks like what I have been looking for. I don't want to recommend it as I have not had sufficent time on this software. I can say that I am happy so far with my 1st project. It took 37 hours to render 30 min. to avi. format  , but it looked really good. Stay in touch! |

I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 which will render the same amount of footage in about 30 minutes if it's native DV-footage which is captured into Premiere from your video camera. My system: Acer Aspire 1700 Laptop, 2.4 Ghz Pentium 4 Processor, 512 Mb RAM, Video Card SiS M650 64 Mb. HDD IDE 7200 RPM. |

It has an endless repertoire of tools, like Titler, exporting your footage from the timeline onto DVD, more effects and transitions you ever need and, it's superfast and robust in rendering. As to what capture card you may need: you don't need one if you if you working with DV footage only. For analogue video try Matrox. Hope this helps. |

Actually, your system is pretty slow for today' video editing, but that is depend on what kind of videos you are plan to do and if you know how to eptimize your editing, you can still do SD video editing eassily in your system.
For video editng: hard disk speed and physical diskS are more and prio than CPU and Ram in editing; and for rendering, CPU and Ram is more and prio than hard disk of course. |
