Building a new system-looking for suggestions
Hi guys haven’t been here in several years.
looks like I am back in the thick of things after a 2 years away. Anyways I need to have a new system build sheet for next week.
Basicaly looking for something that can regular DVcam up to HD which I am not familiar with but will be working with come september.
Initialy we picked up an avid liquid chrome to see how well that works. Personaly just did not care for it and brought my copy of Vegas 4 to play with. Turns out lots of other people rather enjoyed it as well.
So I got aproval to build up my own system!!!
SO here I am looking for what you guys may feel I need to have a well running system that will work for years to come.
I’m pretty much sold on Vegas. I spoke with Black Magic and it’s my understanding that currently Sony is working on drivers for there Multi Bridge Extreme. So I think that is the board I will get.
As far as the computer I should pick up I am a bit out of the loop with this. Not sure what is best for my use. So whatever you suggest.
Thanks for reading and thanks for the help

Dual-core AMD would be my pick, unless you have LOTS of money to spend.

The nice thing is Vegas should run like a champ on nearly any modern system. I just got a mid-level laptop off the shelf at Staples, installed Vegas 6 just to see if it would work at all, and I haven’t been back to my main editor (fairly powerful desktop system) for anything other than rendering since. I would have been satisfied if I could only edit audio with the laptop, but I’ve been able to edit enormous video projects with lots of of plugs-ins and transitions on this thing.
Now I edit on my laptop, using an external drive. Then I take the HD to my main system, fire up Vegas, and let it render. I can’t imagine locking myself in my office to edit like I used to.
My only point being that as long as your new computer can run XP, you’ll probably have no problem with Vegas. And since your new system will probably far exceed minimum specs, you’re going to be just fine.
