Re: PC editing vs. Casablanca.....

I've never been a big fan of video editing on a PC. I say this because I've had 2 friends go through PC hell trying to get their NLE working on a PC and these guys know PC hardware & software!
OK, people are able to make it work and there are dealers who know how to build PC systems that work correctly, but I feel it's better to start from the ground up building a system for editing only, like Draco (now MacroSystem) and Applied Magic did.
Given that the AVIO sells for $1,295 (non-DV version) and $1,795 (DV-version), this is a real deal for a NLE system.
If you want something more, like the ability to add externial hard drives ..., look at the Sequel for $1,995. I've also seen the ScreenPlay on sale as low as $2,495.

By the way, "better" is subject to the needs and views of the buyer. Each person will have their own views as to what is "best", but that may not reflect your needs or views. I strongly suggest you look at each system and consider the choices you'll need to make. Comments by users can be found at:

I hope this helps,

: I am considering investing in some good editing equipment but must watch the budget. What is better and what is more worth it? What digital editing would you advise. Thanx.
