System requirements
Video demands a lot from your computer. When setting up your
system for video editing, the basic factors to consider are the size and
speed of your hard drive, RAM, and processor. These determine how
much video you can store and how quickly you can process or render
your files. If you can afford a bigger hard drive, higher RAM, and
faster chip, go with it. Just remember that technology is changing so
rapidly and by evaluating first the kind of video editing projects you
plan to do, you can better determine the setup that works best for you.
Following are the system requirements for setting up VideoStudio:
• Microsoft Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows
XP
