  What’s the best computer setup for HD 1080p editing?

  Posted by Michael Matthias on February 25, 2009 at 1:32 am

  I am going to do a lot of work for TV with footage originaly shot in 1080p format (panasonic P2), and I would like to know what’s the necessary hardware to do this (Mac pro; monitors; HD card; hard drives; etc..).
  I will have to do a lot of color correction using Apple’s Color and motion graphics using Adobe After Effects, and I have to deliver the final product in both Digital Betacam and Betacam SP.
  I would also like to be prepared to output my work to an HD format.
  Can somebody help me on this?
  Please take in consideration that I don’t have an unlimited budget if you know what I mean.
  Any advise will be extremely appreciated.

  Many thanks in advance

  Find yourself a Value Added Reseller like ProMax.com and look at their pre-configured setups. This is a great way to get proper working edit stations when you don’t know how to configure one yourself.

  Shane is right on that one
  the best way to be sure is to go with a VAR. There are several out there that do a great job. Shop your price and their reputation, you are pretty much gaurenteed to get a total set up that will fit your needs.
