Video Editing

[Jon Reynolds]

hey Dusty, I forwarded your emails to my friend that does all the video
editing. He might have a viable alternative for you that is cost effective.
He doesn't do this stuff professionally or for his job, its just something
he likes doing and so the software and machines he uses are of the
inexpensive nature. I am desperatly trying to keep you off of windows and
thereby reducing the shame that would surely ensue therin.  <grin>

OH MAN!!!!  I was just looking at the Apple website and they now have a dual
800mhz G4 monster!!!!!  That is an awesome machine, but it is still
expensive compared to a PC.  Adobe please support OSX!!!!!!

Oh, by the way.  DVD writers work unders windows too, hopefully under Linux
before long.  The prices have dropped quite a bit.  The Panasonic A03 (same
drive apple uses) DVD-R/RW,CD-R/RW drive can be found for around $800 and
the DVD-R media is about $9.  DVD-R will play in any DVD player for you
stereo, but DVD-RW will only work in you DVD-RW drive.

(premiere, photoshop, after effects, etc) is almost as fast as a P4
1.5Ghz(running other apps the P4 is much faster), which is pretty awsome,
but for the price I can build the highest end PC I want dual T-birds, 1GB
mem, 400GB ATA-100 Raid array....  If and when adobe ports their products to
the Mac I WILL switch.  I really only want After Effects and Photoshop.
Apple's Final Cut Pro is at least as good if not better than Premiere, but
nothing even comes close to After Effects until you get about 100x more
money to spend!
