Some video cameras give you the option of being able to edit your videos directly from the camera without having to go through video editing software.

But if you want to take video editing seriously, you need a proper rig to take care of the video editing software. Here are a few basic specs needed when you put a video editing machine together.

1. A fast processor. An Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 and above or it’s equivalent.

2. At least 2gb RAM. IF you’re on Vista, you need even more for better speed, as advanced video editing software requires a lot of memory.

3. A lot of hard drive space. You’ll be needing a lot of space to store your videos in.

4. A capture card. But this is only if you want to capture videos from old formats like VHS tapes, or video cameras that use DV or mini-DV formats.
