Disable/remove some of the plugins you don't need by renaming the files in the premiere/plug-ins directory (make sure you know which file is which). That might give premiere a faster startup and save you a bit of memory space.

That is such obscene overkill.

You'd be better off flushing your money down the toilet. You will never, ever need 16GB of RAM in a consumer-end desktop computer running today's applications.

Maybe a few years from now, but not today.

Trust me. I have an Athlon 64 3200+ with 1GB of RAM, and unless I'm doing something extraodinarily complex, I practically edit in real-time.

Out of curiosity, scripts or clips?

I have the same processor but a little less ram as Jbone and so if I had to guess then simple AviSynth scripts or HuffYUV would run quick enough to be real-time. I like to make two scripts for editing. A frame accurate version and a frame accurate version of the video with the same properties(frame rate, colorspace, and resolution) with a lot of filtering applied. This allows for quick editing and when you are done you can swap the scripts out for your high quality filtered scripts.

I just use one set of scripts and keep all the filtering commented out until I'm ready to do a final export.

Can you edit videos, run a server and do maybe three other things at once?

That's what this machine is designed to do. Of course, it's going to cost me about $4,000 with all my inside discounts, but hey, it's going to be really, if you don't mind me saying so, badass.

(Read my org profile for more information on where it's going)

You could do that too... though it can be time consuming if you have a lot of avs files and a lot of filters in each file.

I have one folder for the avs files used by my editing program, one for my low quality avs files, and one for my high quality avs files. The files in each folder are named the same so when I drop the hi quality avs scripts into the avs source folder all I have to do is overwrite the files. Makes it easy especially when editing something like Kare Kano... Plus, if for some reason you have go fix/edit more you can drop the lq files in the source folder to get your speed back again.

I typically use entire episodes/VOBs/films (as applicable) converted to Huffyuv. I need a very large number of layers/complex efects to significantly reduce my editing speed. (see <A HREF=http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... =37392>And That's That</A>)

Simple AVS scripts run quickly, though inverse telecining within the script makes it seek more slowly.

You're wasting your money. For $1200, you can build a PC similar to mine, and for $500-$800 you can guild a pretty damn good secondary machine.

I looked at your profile. Why in Spork's name do you want such a bloated desktop PC? I see nothing in your profile that makes such a computer seem reasonable.

The problem is that I have is that I have to do that all at once. So I don't want any lag I'm overloading it. Besides, it will probably take a long time to go outdated.
