E6600 quad core Pentium, 4 Gigs of Low Latency ram, 8800 GTX 512MB OC Video card.</p> <p>I'm overclocked on the processor to 3.4 ghz. I do have a firewire connection as well, but I don't think the HDR-SR models have a firewire.</p> <p>There isn't much more I could do computer wise to elimiate bottlenecks and delays with loading and editing.</p> <p>You mentioned things I hadn't thought about, so I am very pleased to read what you had to say.</p> <p>I'm not spent out money wise, but it's getting close.  LOL</p> <p>There are quite a large number of people recommend the Sony Vegas so the Premier would be my limit under $150</p> <p>I haven't heard of Ultra 2, but I'll look into it.</p> <p>You mentioned titling, backgrounds,etc., lot's of addtional items I haven't given much thought about.</p> <p>Thanks again </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/getting-ready-to-set-up-a-home-studio-for-making-videos#post-39578 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 07:03:44 +0000 birdcat 39578@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>If you're going to do chromakey, Ultra2 is the best (now from Adobe).</p> <p>After Effects is another must have (even though I don't have it - I will at some point).</p> <p>Since you're looking to go via the web, Sorenson Squeeze is another tool you'll find invaluable.</p> <p>Pick any of the leading NLE's (Premiere Pro, Vegas Pro, Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro if you use a MAC, etc...) - They're all good - just find the one you like.</p> <p>Some good titling software is a must (Bluff Titler for a start, Zaxwerks Pro Animator is really powerful).</p> <p>Good royalty free assets (music, sound effects, stock video and photos, clip art, backgrounds, etc....) - Digital Juice is a great resource for all of that and very cost effective.</p> <p>This is a start- There's always more if have the $$$$$$$$$.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/getting-ready-to-set-up-a-home-studio-for-making-videos#post-39552 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 11:07:02 +0000 domineaux 39552@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>So far, purchased a Sony HDR-SR12 HD HDD camcorder, A Velbon 7000 Tripod, Azden WLX-PRO wireless Lapel mic system.</p> <p>I've got a first class computer - E6600 quadCore Intel, 4 gigs of low latency ram, 8800 GTX 512MB video card. </p> <p><strong>So far haven't made any purchases of software or chromakey items yet. --- Could sure use some pointers</strong></p> <p>I'd appreciate some links to videos, articles or anything that will help me move along with setting up my home studio.</p> <p>Principally, my plans are to create video for websites.</p> <p>I've built a bunch of PHP type sites, but I've not done anything in the way of placing HD quality video on sites.</p>
