Hiya.
I'm getting ready to start editing the footage I have. I'll be getting a firewire drive to hold it all in case I need to switch editiors etc. I have about 7-8 hours of footage. How much ram would you peeps suggest getting? 80? 120?160? I probably can't get over 160 unless I get the best deal humanly possible. I've found pretty decent deals on the internet. The best I'm looking at is a 160gb lacie for $187. including shipping. Good? Bad? Do you know better??? If so pass it on!
I know 120 gb will hold it, maybe even 80, but I want to save cuts as new sessions to be able to compare choices and avoid doing stuff over and over again., so I figured a couple hours of room should help out a lot. This is all based on theory and not experience, so please let me know if i'm wrong, misguided or right on track. Any opinions? Experiences? Things to avoid?
Thanks,
filmgirl
