Greetings Cinelerra users!
I have been experimenting around with Cinelerra for about a year now on
a wimpy athlon 1.3 ghz machine. I have grown very fond of the software,
and I feel like I have a good enough grasp of it to justify some new
equipment purchases. Though I am still very much a newbie to video, I
do have experience with underlying concepts from audio editing, and
graphic design.
I read through the archives and noticed a few HD threads that gave me
some hints, but I wanted to start a quick thread about the setup that I
am considering. Hopefully, I can get some insight and avoid any
pitfalls with the advice of you all.
I am really interested in the Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1A. It fits my budget,
and some of the extra features seem like they would be of great use.
This would put 720p HD (as well as 640x480) source in my hands in mpeg4
format.
I don't have a huge budget for an editing machine, so I am aiming to get
a reasonable performance quality of out the cheapest solution. I was
considering a dual core athlon64. Is this adequate? I do have several
athlon boxes, and one athlon 64 lying around for render farm use once
edits are complete.
Questions for the group... Do you see any problems with connectivity
between this setup and cinelerra? Is there a better price/performance
solution for my editing machine? Any other advice you can offer me?
Thanks!
