As mentioned in the past post, the type of processor you might have on your computer can influence the success of your venture into the realm of video editing. The processor or CPU of your computer must be able to handle the many complex operations such as editing and rendering coupled with ample amounts of physical memory or RAM and hard disk space. Editing video requires the video editing software (which by itself uses a lot of ram and hard disk space) requires speed or else frames might be lost during the copy, edit and rendering process. Transmission of information from your camera to the PC through the Firewire cable runs at around 400/800 or 3,200 Mbits/second depending on the revision level your PC supports, it can support any of the aforementioned speeds.
