Help choosing the right Video Editing computer for Adobe Premiere Pro Video Editing Software.
Adobe Premiere comes in several packages:
Abobe Premiere Pro CS4: As the name suggests, this includes only Premiere Pro.
Adobe CS4 Production Premium: Includes Premiere Pro CS4, After Effects CS4 Professional, Adobe soundbooth CS4, Encore CS4, Flash CS4 Pro, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended.
Adobe CS4 Master collection which has it all. (see comparison below)
If you are still running Premiere Pro 1.5, you will need a Matrox RTX2 card to handle realtime effects properly (without having to
render effects before viewing). While Premiere Pro 2.0/ 3.0 greatly improves software performance without a realtime playback card,
if you use even moderate effects you will notice an improvement using the card.
To see the benefits of the Matrox RTX2 card Click Here
You can purchase a Matrox RTX2 card with Adobe software bundles that include Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 ($1665) or Adobe CS4 Production Premium ($2675), as well as the RTX2 LE bundles and numerous upgrade paths.
While again CS4 offers improved performance without hardware the RTX2 gives a nice boost for real time effects and a huge benefit with its direct to Mpeg4 capture.
For DVC Pro HD(P2), MXF then the Matrox Axio LE is an Ideal choice for uncompressed HD work.
Now to selecting a computer:
For video editing systems we recommend a minimum of three hard drives.
One for the operating system and programs,
One (or raid set) for source files and capturing,
and the third (or raid set) for rendering (both temporary and final output).
You may also want to consider adding an archival or backup drive to protect your work from disaster. An internal drive is slightly
faster, doesn't take up space on your desk, and in a pinch it can substitute for a source or render drive if needed. However, if
anything truly nasty happens to the computer, its internal drives can all be damaged. An external drive, though it does take up
some desk space, can be easily detached from the computer and stored in a safe location until it is needed. A removeable hard drive
bay combines the best features of these two types of drive. The drive bay connects as an internal hard drive for speed and
space, but it can be easily removed (from the outside of the case) for storage.
When it comes to hard drive space, more is usually better, especially as hard drive prices continue to more affordable. While DV video
doesn't really take up all that much space, if you are running uncompressed and/or HD video, you can quickly fill drives.
More importantly is HDD thruput
The following chart shows the approximate drive space usage for several common types of video:
DV/Firewire
13 gigs/hour and 25mbits (3.6MBps) thruput, HDV(thru firewire) is the same
For an editor who works with uncompressed or HD video, we recommend using a minimum of two pairs of SATA drives, with each pair in a RAID0 array.
RAID0 stripes two or more hard drives together for increased performance, combining their capacity into what the operating system
and video editing software will see as one large drive.
the following drive setups (raid Arrays) will give you a thruput idea for what you need based on what format you intend to work with.
