AMV n00b question

Postby dowhatnow » Wed Sep 29, 2004 2:42 pm

I'm just now getting into the editing portion of AMV's but I have a few problems.

1. my computer is a p.o.s. in terms of vid editing.
2. I'm clueless about which card (and mobo) to get... any suggestions?
3. Multi-monitor or no multi-monitor?
4. what else do I need (besides loads of $$$)?

I saw the topic a few down from this one, but it didn't answer my questions here.

I'll also post up in the software forum for my questions there.


Many Thanks in advance.

no need to post in two forums

but since there was one question here that differed i might as well answer;; u prolly dont need a second monitor;; for the most of us 1// we dont need one 2// no room 3// need a vid card with the ability to support to monitors

if u want a preview monitor u can always us a camcorder or a tv

the more the marrier i always say, if u have 2 monitors or monitor + TV and can connect them, u can preview ur material to select what scenes u want to clip..... in short 2 monitors is great, but dont make them come over mobo \RAM \ HD whhick u need more....

Before asking, THINK!!! Have you read The Guides, consulted The Wiki and watched The Corn?

top o' the line, fully loaded, etc.

I know what I want by way of processor, RAM, etc. the only problem I'm having right now is deciding on a vid card. I'll not be building this computer for at least another year or two, and by then today's tech will still be PARTIALLY good, so money shouldn't really be a concern of mine at this point. I was just trying to get suggestions for the best that people have worked with.
