System requirements for editing AVCHD video natively with Adobe Premiere CS4 Pro on Windows:
- basic system requirements for Adobe Premiere CS4 video editing:
- see Adobe
- dual core 2.8Ghz CPU, WinXP SP2 or higher, 2Gb RAM
- 1,280×900 display with OpenGL 2.0–compatible graphics card
- Dedicated 7200 RPM hard drive for DV and HDV editing; striped disk array storage (RAID 0) for HD; SCSI disk subsystem preferred
- HOWEVER, perusing the internet suggests this minimum is NOT sufficient to edit AVCHD
- optimised system for editing AVCHD (according to internet resources):
- Intel i7-920 quad core CPU and motherboard to allow multiple RAID configurations
- 8-16Gb RAM (see Adobe’s paper on 64bit systems – pdf)
- MS Windows Vista 64 (or Windows 7 64 bit?)
- 4 disk drives configured such as:
- 2x250GB split into 2 RAIDs:
- RAID 1 (drives mirror each other so you have a backup if 1 fails and can speed up your system by allowing “split seeks” to allow both drives to be searched simultaneously) for operating system and applications
- RAID 0 (“stripes” data to both drives effectively doubling read/write) for page file and Adobe’s media cache
- 2x2Tb RAID 1 for data storage with backup – ie. your original video files and photos
- 2x250GB split into 2 RAIDs:
- Nvidia video card with OpenGL 2.0 support such as GTS 250 (dual slot so heat dissipates more readily) and much cheaper than the CUDA capable nVidia CX Quadro video card
- if you got lots of money, consider a Matrox RT.X2 graphics card to further speed up Premiere
- MOST people however, transcode AVCHD to another format for easier and faster editing
- free AVHCD converter software
- the Panasonic supplied software with the GH-1 will convert to MPEG2 for YouTube upload
- AVISynth + AVHCD_CONVERT + SUPER to convert to MP4 for Vimeo.com upload plus other formats
- free AVHCD converter software
