Hi,
I need to purchase a new computer that will be specifically for editing. I want to run Premiere CS 5.5 and I'm debating about whether to go with a PC or an iMac. I want something that will be powerful enough to where I don't have to update every year and that will allow me to export large projects as quickly as possible. I don't have a lot of experience with Premiere as I have been running Final Cut Pro HD on my ancient Powerbook, so I don't really know what the best set-up would be for this particular program. I'll most likely be getting the entire Creative Suite and don't want any of the programs to run slowly. At the moment I am shooting in standard definition with a Canon GL-2, but I might be moving to HD in the next year or two. My budget is around $3000, and I want to be able to burn DVDs. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers!
Shawn
