Digital Video Editing System DIY Guide

If you've clicked on the link to this page, you probably already have the most important thing you need to get started, a computer. That means all you need is a device to get the video in & out of your computer (called a video capture card) and the software to edit it.

Besides a normal computer, you will need lots of hard drive space for video editing. I really mean, a lot. So storage should be concerned when you set up your digital video editing system.

Of course, you will need a device to play and record your videos most of the time, be it a camcorder or VCR. Nowaday, DV camcorder is cheap and popular, I guess you've already had one? If you don't have yet, a VCR can do the job as well, I haven't touched my VCR for a couple of years though:-).

However, a camcorder or VCR is not a must-have. You can play around with still pictures and view your videos on computer screen.
