You can probably do what you want with Cyberlink, but. I've used Adobe Premiere + After Effects and Apple's Final Cut Pro. If you're not going to use it as a dedicated data/project drive, then make sure it's 7200 RPM. Whether it's 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM shouldn't make a huge difference, unless you're planning to use it as the drive that houses your operating system as well. 1 TB drives are at a good buying point these days, and that'll hold you for a good, long while. If you're going to be processing video, you'll just need a lot of hard drive space. Moving to a 64-bit operating system will give you a slight performance boost (assuming your video editor is also 64-bit) but nowhere near the boost you'd see from a processor and RAM upgrade. Upgrading your processor (which you can't really do with your system) would give you the greatest performance boost, likely followed by adding more RAM. Getting a SSD won't help you, and to buy a SSD that'd be large enough to let you do many video projects comfortably would be prohibitively expensive. Video is processor-intensive - that's all. Read and write speeds blow standard hard drives away. SSD = solid state drive, the newer hard drive technology. Now unless you start making 30-40 minute long documentaries in HD then it would be a different story but a 3-5 minute long AMV shouldn't even be a problem on a normal stat 'puter these days.

Why I am saying this, setting up a computer for video edit just for AMV's would imo be wasting money sort of.

If not then why build a computer for purposed for just making AMV's if you set up a good and decent normal computer you would be able to do the same with the difference being a slightly longer render time in the end. I don't know what this SSD is that you mention? A data card thing?Īnyway even on my computer I am able to run off settings in HD for video editing, but remember the lower your stats the slower your rendering time will be. I'm afraid you would be left with converting, since most video edit programs are made to edit things captured from camera.Ħ4 bit would make converting a lot quicker, though for just an AMV it doesn't take all that long, perhaps 20-30 minutes for HD if I would do it on mine. However the bad thing about it was this: the temp files made to convert were huge, like 10 gb per file.

I've never used Cyberlink before, I used to have Premiere but now use Sony Vegas Pro using this method to put mkv in those editing programs:
