TIP 1

Get the fastest CPU you can afford

The faster your CPU, the less it will take to render your video project. This becomes an important consideration if your project is large and/or complicated, or if for some other reason you have a lot of rendering to do.

TIP 2

Get as much RAM as you can get.

For some reason NLE video editing programs are insatiable when it comes to RAM. The more RAM your computer has, the less likely it is to crash while you edit. It is recommended a minimum of 768 MB of RAM, but really, the more the better.

TIP 1

Before installing ANY Studio product, you are advised to

close down all other running programs:

press CTRL-ALT-DEL and 'END TASK'

for each running program in turn EXCEPT for EXPLORER (which is actually Windows itself!) and SYSTRAY.

TIP 4

Get a large dedicated hard disk for your video files.

Remember that DV footage occupies approximately 200 MB per minute when saved as a high-quality AVI file. The truth is that there is virtually no limit to how much disk space you can use up. If you are serious about editing video, you will never regret buying an enormous hard disk.

TIP 5

DEFRAGMENT THE HARD DRIVE

Hard drives can become fragmented over time, so it is important to defragment the hard drive on a regular basis. Alternatively, if you use a second hard drive for your captures (as you should), and work on only one movie at a time, you can delete everything on the drive.

TIP 6

Before using ANY Studio product, you are advised to

close down all other running programs:

press CTRL-ALT-DEL and 'END TASK'

for each running program in turn EXCEPT for EXPLORER (which is actually Windows itself!) and SYSTRAY.
