Cajones 0 #2 January 22, 2004 Pinnacle Studio will probably be your best bet. The laws of physics are strictly enforced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gus 1 #3 January 22, 2004 Which P3 have you got? I'm running Pinnacle Studio 7 and Adobe Premiere 6 on an Athlon 900 and Windows 2000 with no problems. I did add some ram to get it up to 512 but ram's pretty cheap...... GusOutpatientsOnline.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbs66 0 #4 January 23, 2004 thanks for the info! i am on it! since you have used this program before... is it pretty user friendly? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cajones 0 #5 January 23, 2004 It's not quite as user friendly as Windows Movie Maker or iMovie, but you can get a good feel for it in one or two sittings. It's cheap, has enough power to keep most people happy, runs on lots of hardware combos, still has just enough effects to make your stuff look crappy (if you try to use lots of effects), and it's cheap. - Cajones The laws of physics are strictly enforced.

skyfly 0 #6 January 23, 2004 When I started out I was using a PIII-733Mhz with 256MB memory. had no problems running Adobe Premiere 6 on it - it handled it pretty well. another thing that you need to put into consideration - since this is a laptop that you have - is the harddrive speed - anything below 7200 might affect capturing from Firewire, or Playing back over Firewire. download the trial version of Premiere from Adobe and give it a run, see how your machine handles itBe Simple, Be Creative, Bee!
