What type of computer do you record your tutorials with?
Dual quad-core Xeon @ 3 Ghz. 4 gigs of ram and a raptor drive and a Geforce 8800 GTX. Before that I used a custom built Intel Core 2 Duo 6800 Extreme Processor with 2GBs of DDR2 Ram and a Geforce 7950 GX2 as well as a 150GB 10k Raptor Hard Drive. For the early tutorials I used an Athlon X2 4200+ with 2GBs of Ram and Geforce 7800 GT and a 74GB 10k Raptor Drive.

I am looking to get into this industry in some way shape or form. Presently I am "learning" AE, PRemiere and such on my own time. Amazing site and demos/tutorials! I've done about 4 demon faces now, trying to perfect it.. gotta find a forum to talk about that cause I am stuck on some things there.
Anywho...
I just built a new computer, was curious what sort of "capacity" of editing I might be able to do with it based on some of you knowledgeable folks. I am hoping someone that does this for a living say at a Studio can give a rough idea if what I have is good enough.
I have built a core7 quad-core 2.66ghz (920) server on a Asus PT6 V2 deluxe motherboard. I put in 6 x 2GB, for 12GB matched memory DDR3... it registers as 1066 speed. I have an ATI HD4870 video card with 1GB ram.. monster of a video card..takes two power connectors. I have 2 1TB drives and a 320GB main drive, and am running Vista 64-bit. The case is pretty nice, some gamer case I found for $100, but has a very large top fan, 2 front fans in front of the HDs, and a back fan, along with a side vent that could mount a fan but have not felt the need to.
So, I am probably grossly over-dreaming what I really want to do, which is get one of those new RED cameras coming out end of year, I think its like $3500 for the camera, handle, batter and memory card and lens.. not sure yet. My goal is to be able to eventually shoot wedding videos and God willing, get into production of commercials or something down the road. This is probably everybody's goal/dream who has a passion for this, so I am not holding my breath, but I figured I might have a better shot at something in this industry if I understood the software, like AE and premiere, soundbooth, etc and could put together a video from many clips/images, transitions, and all that good stuff.
So.. my end goal is to be able to edit RED format, hopefully RAW, and at HD resolutions, although from what I've learned so far most commercials, weddings and such are shot in standard def primarily because not many people have HD yet.
Will what I have now be able to edit RAW at either HD or the higher ultra-HD resolutions? I am less worried about render times, and more worried about real-time previews and actually working with the clips.
Next year, if things work out I plan on building a dual-cpu quad core with 32GB ram, but a few things need to happen before that makes any sense to spend the money on that.
Thank you.
