12 VIDEOSTUDIO USER GUIDE
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, Windows 98 SE,
Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP
• 450 MHz above CPU speed is recommended
• 64 MB of RAM (128 MB or above for
editing)
• 500 MB of available hard disk space or
above; 4 GB is recommended (best results can

ible video capture card

or capture device.
