AMV n00b question

dowhatnow · Post by **dowhatnow** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 2:42 pm

I'm just now getting into the editing portion of AMV's but I have a few problems.

1. my computer is a p.o.s. in terms of vid editing.
2. I'm clueless about which card (and mobo) to get... any suggestions?
3. Multi-monitor or no multi-monitor?
4. what else do I need (besides loads of $$$)?

I saw the topic a few down from this one, but it didn't answer my questions here.

I'll also post up in the software forum for my questions there.

Many Thanks in advance.

no need to post in two forums

but since there was one question here that differed i might as well answer;; u prolly dont need a second monitor;; for the most of us 1// we dont need one 2// no room 3// need a vid card with the ability to support to monitors

if u want a preview monitor u can always us a camcorder or a tv

the more the marrier i always say, if u have 2 monitors or monitor + TV and can connect them, u can preview ur material to select what scenes u want to clip..... in short 2 monitors is great, but dont make them come over mobo \RAM \ HD whhick u need more....

OK, so what vid card is a good one to go with? I lost track after the Radeon 9800. I'm so confused

umm i would get a 9800 pro if all u need is a tv out;; multiple moniters and tv-in i would go with a 9600/9800 xt aiw

combine that with the newest omega drivers and ur set. if u want a capture card just get the tv wonder pro from ati its like $30.
