Studio 10 Plus Requrements

bobble · Post by **bobble** » Mon Sep 04, 2006 11:56 am

Hi I am thinking about buying studio 10Plus however my PC is not up to the receommended specs, I have an Athalon 2800+ (not 64) 512Mb memory and 2 x IDE harddisks. As this does not meet the requirements am I likely to have issues with the software?? I have downloaded the trial and all seems fine, I have no intention of editing hi-def at the moment.

Any one else using similar spec and what does the sotware run like.

Thanks.

Hi

The system requirements are here

The system you have seems to meet these??????

You do not list your hard drive sizes, video editing needs a lot of space.
Your ram at 512 is the minimum.
Increasing to 1Gb improved performance for me, (during editing that is)

Look at my System icon below. Check out some of the other users as well.

If Video Studio trial works ok then the full version should be the same.

Capturing from a digital camera should be via firewire connection to dv-Avi. Do you have a firewire port on your pc?

Hi Bobble, and welcome to the forums..

With SD editing your system should be fine. The system specs listed covers the HDV editing. However I would seriously consider upping your memory. Most likely your running WinXP, and it's notorious for needing alot of memory , thus not leaving much for demanding applications like video editing. If you can budget for an additional 512Mb I'd do it.

I do use an AMD 64, 3200, which only runs at 2.0Ghz, and I'm not using the 64bit. Can't afford WinXP 64. I don't do HD editing, and VS10+ runs great on my machine.

You might want to setup a Video Editing Hardware Profle. Steve put together a great tutorial on how to do this. Using this type of profile for editing will allow all the possible resources to be freed-up for your editing.

Thanks for replies, spec listed from the product spec page from ulead version 10 is different to above, but as the demo works and your advise I have ordered studio 10 and will order more memory if its using the hard disk swap a lot.

P.S. Have two hard disks one sperate to operating system will be used for video editing.

Once again thanks for advise and quick reply,.
