 After many weeks of struggling, I hope that I have finally
produced a good guide for basic video editing, intended
to get the beginner started and more comfortable with the
video editing process. While it is mainly based on Vegas,
much of it should be adaptable to some other timeline
based video editing programs.

 I first set eyes upon the Focus Enhancement FS-5 Digital Hard Disk recorder at the IOV AGM. It did look very different to the previous versions and it supposedly does a lot more. Eventually I received the machine from the UK distributors, Holdan Ltd, together with a USB Wireless Dongle.

Fast, efficient, flexible and totally unified into a single piece of software that costs less than $1000. Time will tell if Vegas handles longer projects just as well but if ever there was a time for FCP, Avid and Premiere editors and indy filmmakers to sit up and take notice of Vegas, it's now

Enter the FS-H200, which at first glance looks like an FS-5 hard disc recorder. However, when you turn it on it’s side, you will find a Compact Flash slot instead of an internal hard drive. Using HV and HDV’s 13-gigs-per-hour data rate, it’s an easy calculation that a 16Gb compact flash card will record over an hour of footage, and

 Welcome back to our presentation of how HP’s new Intel Nehalem-based workstations compare to older workstations when rendering from Adobe Creative Suite 4 (CS4).
