Well if you have all the money, buy the best computer in the world!\n\nSeriously, This depends on what you want to do. If you are just editing 2 minute home videos with no titles or transitions, then you can do it on a pentium 2 with 96MB of ram. (I have a vaio that does that.)\n\nfor 3d modeling, I would recomend a high end gaming computer, equivalent to what you would get from Alienware or one of the other custom computer manufacturers out there. The more memory, higher the processor speed, and faster the video card, the quicker the render time that will be involved in producing the video.\n\nFor straightforward video with simple transitions and if you don't mind waiting a few minutes to render, I would recomend a pentium 4 processor over 3 gig speed, 1 gb of memory, two hard drives, one operating drive one for video. At least 80 gigs of video space. (Make sure the drive is 7200 rpm.) Get a video card with two monitor support or widescreen monitor, this makes keeping track of windows much easier. Make sure it has firewire, and a DVD burner is a nice option to have.\n\nIn a Mac get a dual processor 2.5 Gb, with 1 gb of memory, a 300 gb Lacie external Harddrive, Two button mouse, Final Cut Pro with Motion and purchase Photoshop elements.(At least) THis is alot more money than the PC, but it is a much more powerful system, with many features that will allow you to work professionally for years without upgrading. (Provided you move on to HDV and not something else like film or holographic projection when they start to make an appearance in the next few years.)\n\nHope this helps,\nTony

Adding Ram is nearly always a good Idea but you may find it won't help with rendering as this uses the Video Memory to build the pictures.in and the only way to get more of that is a new graphics card which you cannot install in a laptop!

20+ years selling software retail.\n\nI liked this PC Magazine article, which reviews the best programs for video editing.\nhttp://www.pcmag.com/category2/0,1874,4835,00.asp\n\nMY top choices.\n\n1.  Adobe Premiere Pro 2.   If you have the money theres only one choice.  Money buys the best.   \n\nPC World, March 2006\n  Premiere Pro 2.0 is the most scalable, efficient, and precise video-editing software available." \n\n2.  Roxio Easy Media Creator 9 Suite.  The Poor Man's Cadillac.    The affordable choice which will run circles around anything thats not Adobe.

any computer designed for "windows media center 2005" will be great. make sure you have a big harddrive. a faster processor is always better, and a lot of ram.\n\njust get a windows media center 2005 computer with big numbers for the cpu ram, and harddrive. you will be fine.

You need a video card that can support video editing. Maybe an ATI all-in-wonder video card will do. You can also use a PCI card that supports video editing. Your RCA jack can be use to connect to those type of cards.

It depends what program you will be using and for creating your animations.\n\nApple are really good and reliable, but the software range isn't that wide.\n\nThe microsoft had alot more range in software, but there have been alot of problems with hardware such as bios problems, battery dying spontaneously and such. Although Dell has a really good warrantee and policy and they pick up right in front of your house if something goes wrong.\n\nAnother new thing now is to get an apple to machine to run windows, especialy with the new Intel dual cores in the apple machines (Macbookpro).

You need to ask yourself what you want to do with your laptop. You want to do video / sound editing & desktop publishing? Get a MAC. If you want to  do gaming, productivity etc. Then a Windows PC is the way to go. BUT, make sure anything you buy is Windows VISTA capable. Keep in mind, MAC's are switching to intel processors. Since they are doing that, I would go with a Windows based PC.  You will also find a lot more software for Windows and TONS of games. Macs are pretty stable, but Windows XP is extremely stable and so far is the best OS  that Microsoft has created. If you decide to go with a Windows based unit, don't limit yourself to an Intel processor. AMD has very powerfull processors at a cheaper price than their Intel counterparts. Always remeber, RAM-RAM & more RAM. Get as much RAM as you can afford. The more the better. Sacrifice hard disk size in favor of RAM if you need to. You can alway buy external storage at decent prices. Good luck and enjoy whatever you choose.

Do plenty of research.  Figure out if you want a gaming machine, a word processor, or a graphics workstation.  This will determine what kind of motherboard/processor you'll need, as well as RAM requirements.  Next is video card, as you'll want something fast for gaming, but something powerful for heavy 3D graphics.  Again, do plenty of research.  Final considerations are monitor, cd or dvd burner, audio.\n\nI suggest putting together a "dream system", with all the toys you'd ever want.  Then list a "bare bones" system.  Price both, then start swapping parts until you have a system you like for a price you can afford.\n\nHope this helps.

This is a top-notch computer. It is extremely high-end and flexible. Games, photos, videos, music, you name it. However, you should spend a hundred dollars buying software for video editing.

For Video Editing you need Fastest Harddrive, Fastest processor and Ram, so this system is not ideal at present.

Most definately adobe premiere, it can do pretty much anything and can turn out broadcast quality video, its not cheap and you'll ideally need a fast computer with a big either internal or external drive but its the daddy by far.

trust me for 3D you want to spend as much as you can afford. Processing power, graphics card, memory, hard drive space.. they're all really important so u cant just focus on one thing.
