Hey all, I will be jumping into quite a bit of video editing very soon for my work and I have been told to gets some specifics for what sort of computer i would need to purchase to work with this video content. Basically the work involves things like dvd titles and editing video from dvd to compose with audio/music and animation of text for tv promos. Applications i will be working with are Premier pro2.0 and after effects 7.0 along with the usual suspects, Photoshop, illustrator…etc… Keep in mind i will still work with web/print but i believe to have a computer capable of handling video it should handle web/print. Also i’d prefer PC since we want to keep the pc through our internet. Off the top of my head i was thinking: Dual core 2 (dont know what mhz) 3-4 gig ram 2 quick hardrives (one dedicated to stratch disc) Nvidia vid card (512 or 1gig)(would i really need 512 or can i get away with 256?) - the rest. Any suggestion, links, experiences would be appreciated. cheers.
