How to buy video editing equipment?

Videographers (whether professionals or amateurs) can choose from a huge variety of editing equipment available in today’s developed market. To make the best choice, however, they should weigh the usefulness of the equipment against their needs and proficiency level.

Amateurs can choose to convert their PCs or laptops into editing consoles. Professional videographers on the other hand would be better off with an off the shelf turnkey computer, pre-fitted with video editing software and hardware.  However, in both the cases it is important to keep the following points in mind.

A good editing machine need not have the latest processor installed in it, but what it must have is a hard drive which offers lots of data storage. A good editing appliance must have a hard drive of at least 20 GBs.  If you plan to convert your personal computer or laptop into an editing machine, make sure you upgrade its memory space and get the hard drive partitioned.  This means you will be using one part of the hard drive for storing videos and the other for editing.

Apart from analog input and output ports your editing appliance must also have a digital video converter. In case your appliance doesn’t come with one you will have to buy a video adaptor as you would need it transfer video footage to your editing device.

Choose your editing software based on your proficiency level and post productions needs. If you are an amateur, concentrate on user-friendliness of the software, instead of the snazzy effects it offers.  Professionals, on the other hand can choose from off the shelf editing appliances like FCP, Avid, Incite, Velocity etc, based on their post productions needs. While editing systems like incite are useful for those who work under strict deadline pressures, high end systems like velocity are for those whose primary concern is great quality and special effects.
