video editing software jar image
PMA
I do photo and video editing in my spare time but, Im good enough to branch out as a Free-Lancer. Be descriptive if Possible please not just say custom cause iMacs are overpriced.
Joe Smith makes a Valid point and I agree with his Ideologies I'm going with the PC :).

Ok here is how this works. If you consider yourself technology-minded, the mac is not for you. Apple products are built for the lower-minded average consumer who has no idea that they are paying large amounts for baby software loaded onto sub-par standard machines. Apple products are for the consumer who doesn't know any better than to buy that shiny new thing with an apple on it. For $2000 you could get a mac fully loaded with a baby step operating system and standard components, or you could get a screaming fast top of the line pc that will blow past any programs you throw at it for years to come. Building a pc is also a fun experience! (Try that waiting in line at an apple store).
What i'm saying here is that if you take pride in keeping yourself above the idiot level, go with pc.

Lets take Marie for an example mac user:
"I can get my work done faster and I have even started making more money with the Mac"
Ahh this is a prime example of a consumer who thinks on a much lower level than the rest of us. All of the shiny, easy to use menus sure do help this type of person work faster. There is not much to not understand with a mac, which means there is also just about nothing you can do with them. I would compare any apple operating system to a nice, heavy duty, metal chastity belt.
"The macs do not have the same troubles as the pc. Macs never get viruses like pcs. That's what killed my last computer and I chose a mac"
Ahah! Yet another prime example of idiocracy at its finest. If you feel the need to download a file from an obviously shady website named "virus.exe", then yes, definitely purchase that mac, you have no business operating a pc. As for the comment that macs do not have the same troubles as pcs, this is because you do not have the ability to change any useful settings, or have access to any of the better parts of your machine on your mac. Apple products are essentially baby proofed, meaning you can't get into the cookie jar and enjoy all of the yummy treats.
I'm done.

Buying a HD Camcorder??? What type of brand is the best?
JamesWayne
okay right now im looking at a canon vixia hg20 or 21 HD camcorder. What i dont know if whether canon is the best HD. Ive checked some videos in youtube. and have seen them to be great. But which is the best brand of HD camcorder that is best cheapeast at $899 below HD camcorders. and what brand is the best canon, sony, or etc... plz help.
Answer
Personally I would recommend the Canon HV30. This camera is the sucessor to Canon's immensely popular and successful HV20. This camera is a nice size and form factor and takes beautiful 1080p video recorded onto MiniDV. For any sports recording where your camera gets jarred and banged a lot I would recommend MiniDV or some kind of solid state memory, as hard drives don't last long under those conditions. This camcorder records in 30p so your footage will be nice and clean and smooth, even with fast motion, unlike many other consumer camcorders. Also this camera features a 24p mode so the fps (frames per second) will match that of film, giving your image a more film like look and feel. Of course the image quality is also excellent with very accurate, vivid colors, and excellent Full HD quality. The sound is also very nice and you can add an external microphone if you want. Really for the consumer HD market the Canon HV30 is one of the best, and at a price point of only $600 on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Canon-HV30-Definition-Camcorder-Stabilized/dp/B00114PN1U/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1238298165&sr=8-1 it falls firmly within your budget range. If you get this camera, I know you wont be disappointed.
PS- A side note/warning about HD camcorders. HD requires significant computer horsepower to edit and process. A computer with a minimum of a 2.4ghz P4 or a 2.0 Core 2 Duo processor with at least 2gb of ram is basically the minimum required to work with footage from any HD camcorder. Also new editing software (such as the latest version of Sony's Vegas) will be required to edit the footage. If you don't have a computer powerful enough to work with this footage you will either need to get a new computer or else not edit the footage and keep it on tape. Hope this helps.

If you’re looking for a cheap desktop PC for photographs editing, then the Acer TC is a great budget pick. It's available in several spec configurations, and all are very well priced, though that does mean you'll have to make do with only 8GB of RAM, which is really the bare minimum for photo editing these days. The Aspire TC comes in a slimline case that won't dominate your desk space. You can still open it up and upgrade it when needed (it supports up to 32GB of RAM, for example), and it even features a built-in SD memory card reader.
ReplyDeleteThe HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop PC is an affordable desktop computer with a gaming theme, but it's also great for video and photo editing. It does a superb job of balancing price and features, with plenty of configurations available to suit your performance and budget requirements.
ReplyDeleteIt's also possible to spec a discreet graphics card to accelerate video editing and transcoding, but be careful, as its easy to get carried away and spend big bucks.
