hi everyone. I just edited my first d8 video and i'm still learning. I have a few questions here that you guys might have a tip.
i'm using pinnacle studio 8.8 (great features) and really i love the transition effects of hollywoodfx pro.
my pc is a p3 700; 384mb system ram; gf4 64mb video card; 16gb available on my harddrive.
my question is does it really take quite sometime when you hit create and the program starts rendering. can the speed be boosted by adding additional ram like a 256 stick(in addition to my 384 already installed, or should I get an additional harddrive solely for video editing. my budget still restricts me from upgrading to a pentium 4 processor. i was hoping additional ram or harddrive would speed rendering.
need suggestion from you guys out there...thanks
