I've used AVID in college, but that was five years ago. Are Macs still the bomb for editing? Here's what I want.

1) I want enough memory to edit a feature film.

2) I don't want to pay an arm and a leg.

3) I want user friendly editing software.

Do I want a Mac, a PC? I don't know, you tell me. I need to know how much this will all run me as well. Please help.

lol no idea
if I have to edit something I do it at my dad's work

from what I know, mac is most widely used for that

Prices? Any idea how much a mac that can edit costs these days?

again no idea sorry dude
tho find someone that works in a tv station
like my dad as an editor infact

lots of smilies there
and guess what

according to his profile
he is working there

don't know anything about macs.
But you can get some good stuff in a PC. I figure 512Mb DDR should do it....a good graphics card.....120 HDD.....deppends. How much do you have to spend

Using iMovie on a Mac is dead easy! The effects are not exactly amazing, but it has the basics to edit a feature film!

The thing is, with the amount of footage that would needed to be shot for a feature film, the space would be immense! I don't think a Mac would be that good.

MAC is good, but nothing beats an AVID for editing/recording etc...

then why not do it there?

yeah, i've heard mac is the bomb for that kinda stuff. (i know they're good computers...all of mine are macs. )

Yes, I work at a TV station. No, I am not aloud to use the Avids in the Graphics Room because I am a camera man, not a graphics person. I wish they'd give me the key to the building, but, security is pretty tight around here.

Thanx for the useful info everyone! You will be blessed with good luck.

my sis is doing a "movie", from what I understand
though it's not a professional movie, if that's ok?
