Hi,

Does any TR owner uses it for Video Editing?
How does it perform?
Did you have to upgrade to 1Gig (Ram)?
What app(s) are you using?

Thanks

i use movieshaker (with a sony micromv camcorder) on my desktop, not on the laptop!

I used mine for video editing using Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5. Having 1GB is almost mandatory if you’re working with large DV or high resolution clips. I found that it performed pretty well considering how small it is. The only thing you need extra is an external storage device as video takes up a lot of space and the 40GB on the TR is probably not enough.

Oh mr guest, do you have 512 MB ram or 1 GB ? Anyway i always keep saying to myself , TR is probably one of the most under rated machines ever ( Speed wise ). Its just so obvious, people dont realize its actually pretty capable of doing things it does. So the surprise surprises me.

I am going to be doing plenty of video ripping from my handycam onto the TR so it better run fine. I dont think i am going to upgrade the memory just as yet. I will wait a while before doing it, may be i dont need 1 GB memory. Lets see. I’ll be using my TR as the primary computer so good performance will be expected.

Thanks for all the responses guys ....

I’m currently running with only 512MB.  (I posted above about using Studio 9)  I do plan to upgrade but am holding off because I’m moving from Canada to the U.S. in the coming months and memory should be much cheaper in the U.S.. 

I have to admit, before I bought the TR my primary concern was whether it would be fast enough.  My previous laptop was a Dell 8100 with a 1 GHz PIII.  However I’ve really found the TR to plenty fast.  Its definitely much more responsive than my Dell.  I have a powerful desktop which I do use for heavy duty work, but my TR has really been a standout performer.  Plus the portability is unbelievable.

I won’t pretend to be any great user of video, but for the most part, Windows Movie Maker + 512MB TR3A works a-ok!  But like gr00vy said, the disk space will be eaten up *makes motion* this fast.
