Ha, not the answer I need though.

Also could someone please give me an answer the question originally asked?

Yes I know that the story is the main part and the only reason we edit is to make the story look good and spread the story around.

Well, my town doesn’t have anything where I can go to kinda observe videography, yet I always travel with my father to his sets and sometimes watch him edit while I edit some tech reviewing stuff. Also a G5 is great, that actually would run FCP better than the 13″ MBP I have now, from the graphics POV. Also you say get some toys, I do, don’t underestimate me because I am only 14, I work around with HMI’s the boom, and various types of mics. Also I use FCS and I make good use out of it at that. Like I said I get a lot of advice from my dad, not to mention knowledge.

Better so it just a little less of a headache, I know that gear doesn’t make better editors, although I do some tech reviewing also so it is not just to look pretty.
Like I said, just above I do some tech reviewing so I hit two birds with one stone. Trust me though I can learn about Filming and I do, every day. My father is a Professional Video Editor and I guess I picked it up after him. One thing that I think is I have no idea if I will be a video editor in my future, but I don’t care. I live my life, trust me video editing is not taking up my whole life, I fit it in to and extent. I know what you are supposed to do in film making, you tell a story, that is worth a million words.
After that I know that gear does not make people better, yet I am not saying that I want to blow my savings on a Mac Pro. I won’t even buy a new computer because I love the gear that I have as it fits both my life and my hobby. I just want a little boost of performance, maybe a hard drive, because it is bad to edit off of your system drive. Or a camcorder that I could use for, well everything because the Flip isn’t even mine actually(family’s).

Yes, I know that $200 is a VERY limited budget, but I simply can not buy another computer right now. My father is a professional video producer, yet I don’t use any of his gear. I know that this is very bad to work from, but unless I win something or run into a S***load of cash I will not get a new computer. The way I am saying serious is that it is not like I make the next hit youtube movie you know. It is just great to get exposure for the future when I can get much better stuff. Working my way up, you know. Although I make my way through with the tools that I have, not every kid can go running off buying beefy computers like it is nothing, there are limits.

My ports? The standard on all macbook pro’s in the 2009 model range, if you are asking which ports I use. I know I will get endless rants on this, but USB to transfer my footage from the Flip Ultra HD(SAVE THE COMMENTS, I know) and then here and there a firewire 400 to 800 adaptation for a Panasonic PV-GS150.

Ya I know the issue I’m in, I can’t get a external dive right now. I know that you are not supposed edit off of your system drive, yet for the money constraints, it has to be done. Are there any beefy and good firewire 800 drives that you know of for under about 100-150?
Thanks,
Kelton

I am only 14 and already have made over 6 good productions, although they only have a couple hundred views it is amazing to even be using Final Cut Studio and have a good understanding of it. I make completely zero dollar movies and try to push them out after a night of editing. I only have a Flip Ultra “HD” and Panasonic PV-GS150. I work on a MacBook Pro 13″ and a 23″ HD monitor. If you want to see any of my work check out XxHiLaRoUSxX on youtube.com. My best video on there is Best Parent of America: Interview. I am going to be taking PT.2 to Kahlahad Takedown very seriously and make sure it is good as I can get it.

All I am saying is that it had not happened before, and I am aware that USB is an issue, but yes at the point I don’t wish to go out and buy a FireWire drive because I had gotten this HDD free, for now I’m just going to run off of my internal then put the old projects and media on that drive. Thanks all for the help and if any one could reccomend a 320+ GB firewire 800 HDD that would be great. (I do want to pick up the iPad though hahaha).
Thank you
