Home video editor

Hi all, I've used iMovie on a Mac I have at work. Easy to use, quick enough, etc. I'd like to purchase a video editor that I can use on my Dell Studio 15 laptop at home. My dell has an integrated video card, which may not be ideal. I'm trying to avoid buying a new computer for now, but if folks...

Audio editing software: Pro Tools or other?

Thanks for the tips. Helps to know that the other tools I mentioned aren't meant to be stand-alone audio editors. I'll take a look at Logic Studio, in addition to Pro Tools.

Audio editing software: Pro Tools or other?

Hi all, I work at a nonprofit org and am going to be purchasing a MacBook Pro. We've got a Tascam DR-1 digital audio recorder (with external mic) that we use primarily to record interviews and post them on our website as podcasts. We'd like to have the appropriate software in-house to let us do...

Custom build versus Out-of-the Box: Input please

Others can offer better advice on the custom build vs. particular dell models, but I can say this: I bought a Dell Studio 15 for web design purposes (no video editing), so using Adobe Web Premium CS3 primarily. I previously built a custom desktop (now 5 yrs old). Having gone both the custom and...

Seeking opinions on appropriate hardware for audio/video editing

Ha! I'll look at Sony Vegas. Adobe MC is still tempting, but I'm not against looking at other options. Several people have suggested Vegas to me.

Seeking opinions on appropriate hardware for audio/video editing

Well actually, I can get the master collection for like $1,200 as a nonprofit via a not-so-well advertised nonprofit program that Adobe offers. That said, I can still split things up so that I get some adobe products for web design and video, then Acid/Reason for sound--that is, if folks here...

Seeking opinions on appropriate hardware for audio/video editing

No, we're not a no-budget kind of nonprofit. Mind you, we're still careful about spending money and cut costs in many areas, but this is one of those things we feel like we need to put something in to get anything decent out. I'd say for hardware, $2k is about the max, though we could go a bit...

Seeking opinions on appropriate hardware for audio/video editing

Hi darkewaffle, I have actually built my own comps for personal use, but I hesitate to do so for my company. If they see me do it once, I might end up being the unofficial IT guy... :) Would you recommend a prebuilt Dell/HP/other system over a Mac? Note that I would need to purchase all the...

I had just happened onto the Dell site w/o reading this forum, and was shocked to see the Samsung 193P going for like $680, and that w/o a coupon. I thought it was some kind of pricing error! That thing is never under $700. For graphic artists, it's reportedly one of the best out there, as...
