CompuServe Thread

I'm a recent purchaser of ASL's Megamotion board which comes with Adobe's Premiere 1.1 software package. My interests are stictly that of an amateur video camera user. I have a relatively old and large VHS camera which I've gotten to like, if for now other reason than I'm used to it. The image quality of the tapes produced are reasonably good. However, most of the video clips I have made over the years are relatively uninteresting and boring, even to me. Within the last two years I have become a grandfather twice over and now have a grandson and a granddaughter. Needless to say, my video camera has experienced an order-of-magnitude more use in the last two years relative to the previous six years. Most of the video clips are still pretty boring but there are some real gems. My goal is to get reasonably proficient as a video editor so that I may be able to assemble, comment, enhance, etc., the good clips and create video "archives" of the family. My immediate need is to get some information about the real computer hardware capacity (RAM and hard disk) requirements to do practical editing, and if anyone has had hands-on experience with the Megamotion board and Adobe software, what their experiences have been. I'm happy to see that this forum has been established and I hope it turns out to be beneficial to all those involved. Irwin Bardash
