That’s all you’ll ever need.
In fact, some individuals claim that they’ve learnt more from this site than their entire degree in after effects/motion (whatever that degree would be called).
They have a free beginners training videos up and then after that a bunch of free advanced tutorials.
What you do pay for are the packages of specialized graphical effects, music and sound effects they sell.

I would suggest you format to NTFS format and then download a program for your Mac called NTFS-3G or something of that sort. It will allow you to read and write to NTFS disks. Thus, you can use both PC and MAC with the drive.
Ensure that you safely remove the drive from whatever operating system you are using however, as if you don’t, you will get an error message on the other.

Alright, thank you for the information on that, so for two computers editing HDV content, what would you suggest?
And secondly, how much bandwidth is required to edit HDV?

Thank you for the suggestion. I also got a similar idea for my effect with this tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fCuoXg7YwI
However, I will keep yours in mind for a second version of the logo.
Thanks a lot.

I’ve used Premiere CS3 on Vista sp2, very little crashes
I’m now using Premiere CS4 on Windows 7, even better.
There is no need to switch to Mac unless you want to get their own editing suite, final cut studio…but then you lose after effects and have to go to motion.
I’d recommend you upgrade that BSOD dinosaur XP though, honestly, I don’t know why people swear by it.

Thanks for this information.
I am planning to have a networking expert come in and organize the setup for me. I have explained what I need and how I need it to run and I will refer to these posts for notes during that time.
Hot swappable bays sound like a very good solution and I’m trying to keep the budget within a $5000 US range.

If there are any problem, see if changing the compatibility setting to a lower operating system (Windows XP) will work.
I was getting some scaling and zooming issues with Photoshop 64bit for windows 7 and I did this (put it on Vista sp2 compatibility) and now it works like a charm.

With regards to the Adobe not being able to handle full features, I would have agreed with you pre version 4.1, however, I have edited a piece that was 2 hours broken down into about 12 different sequences loaded with effects and premiere was able to handle it very well since this upgrade. However, I will still take into consideration your suggestion for Final Cut or Avid…but it most likely will have to be Avid as I have invested in Windows base machines.
In terms of hard drives, my considerations were that each system would have its own esata or firewire based external drive to do its main editing and only materials ready to be used as reference material or final distribution would go on the network drive.
Can you recommend some network or server drive that may be best suited for these means as well as at a reasonable price?
I have heard of SAN systems, but I am suspecting that would be in the price range of your ten gigabit servers and especially redundant if I adapt a push-pull style production system.
Thank you for all the information you have provided so far, it is giving me a lot of insight I would not have had before.
