Hi guys, my church is planning to buy a comprehensive video editing hardware's. A good setup, for non-linear video editing suites. |

well, I'm trying to cut the time when we are doing the post production work. Main media will be mini-DV. |

Of course we must utilize firewire to capture mini-DV's my brother And again, the workflow that you wrote is the same like I did. The only thing is, if the video footage is 2 hours, then we must capture for almost the same like the video footage. |

Also, what did those expensive capture cards do? Like the ones from AJA, Blackmagic Design, Matrox and Grass Valley. The cost upwards to $$$$$. |

-link- Will they decrease post production time? Like, transcoding, encoding, decoding... |

Also, our video operator does some mixing in real time during the service. The DVD recorder is on the output of the mixer, using the same video we feed to the nursery, the green room, the family room, etc. She mixes between a live video camera and rescaled video from the 2 computers we use during the service to do video presentations for songs, announcements, and other videos. The audio comes from the main mixing board. |

OK... well, what you did in your church is really the same thing like us here. So, what did those expensive capture cards do? what are their primary function? sorry, as I am still puzzled. |

You can use an off-the shelf computer, but you will likely find that it is extremely limiting. First, the integrated video cards are basically worthless when it comes to editing. Second, when you go to render, assuming you are rendering a full service, expect these computers to take several hours. For editing, I always recommend either building and good quality gamer-type pc or buy a multi-processor Intel-based G5 MAC and make sure to add lots of RAM, 8GB minimum. Newegg is an excellent source for ordering pc parts. |

I'm wondering what kind of video editing software runs that poorly, so it requires major CPU horsepower to even achieve 1:1 rendering times? Is it even trying to use multiple cores? The same applies to video cards. What is it about your editing style that seriously taxes a modern on-board video interface? |

As far as the video card goes, you need all the video ram you can get to be able to preview in as high resolution as possible, especially when color-correcting. |

from dvd (mpeg2), devode it to AVI, then all the editing goes in AVI, then back to DVD (mpeg2) again. |

For now, I think some of the culprits for the bad quality of our recordings 1. We need a better mixer/switcher for key-ing. Our text and video goes to the projectors at the same time, this is done in the PC with Easyworship software, which has the "live-video feed with text" feature. |

2. Instead of putting it all to DVD, maybe we need a Hard Disk Recorder, so we just need to copy the video files, instead of extracting the video from DVD, thus eliminating the encoding/transcoding process. |
