Question by shellie: Best desktop computer for video editing and production?
Money is certainly an issue, however, not one that I can’t eventually overcome (meaning that the cheapest quality computer would be nice, but if desktops under $ 1,000 won’t do the trick, still mention your recommendations). I’m planning to film/edit/produce my own entire full-length film (full-length as in an estimated 2 hrs or more), and am looking for the best computer to do it with. I currently use a 3-year-old Gateway laptop with a poor graphics card and hardly any memory, which, of course, is far from optimal for such a task. I’m searching to find a Windows Desktop (sorry Mac fans, I’ve just never cared for the interface…or the price tag) with enough memory, RAM, and graphics capabilities necessary to run programs such as Sony Vegas 8 and Adobe After Effects with minimal freezing, locking up, and with a decent loading time. If anyone could even just give me some specs to look for in computers, I’d be ecstatic, for as of right now, I’m completely lost on where and how to start looking.
Thanks in advance for the help!
