#Non-linear affordable?
2 messages in this thread
Hi gang; I produce some fifty to sixty five minute video tapes per year
based upon "stock footage". I edit the stock footage (which is often consumer
quality or worse) into a short video; adding 30 to 40 edit points, title
graphics, still photos, music, dialogue etc. Currently I use an analog system.
Is it yet possible to capture video and edit it with a desktop system and
output with little or no loss in picture or sound quality at a reasonable price
(i.e. less than $3000 added to a high power PC)?
Any comments would be welcome. I am new to the forum, but have been waiting
for it for years.

Sure. Right now, there are a lot of them around $1,000, like Fast Movie
Machine Pro and miro Computer DC1 boards. Some boards, like Targa-2000, may be
higher at the $5,000 range but their price is dropping really fast. You also
need a fast AV disk and fast SCSI-II controller.
