Hello, sorry if I'm a bit off topic, but still learning the ropes. In your opiniions, is this system-- HP Pavilion 500-214 Desktop, AMD A8-6500 Quad-Core 3.5GHz, 8GB DDR3, 2TB SATA, 802.11n, Win8.1-- sufficient for basic, short-form video editing? Thanks for your input.

The configuration is sufficient for small to medium complexity projects, in my humble opinion…

I will be dealing with essentially straight up editing, title type graphics, little to no sfx, audio tracks of music and/or narration, and lengths generally of 2-4 minutes. I thought it might be adequate, but wanted some other thoughts on it.
Thanks Bolda for your view.

I use PowerDirector on a 32-bit system, basically half the power. I also do relatively simple projects and feel no real restrictions. PowerDirector has also been much more stable on my machine since about mid-year update of version 11. Things, such as shadow file generation and output file production, are just slow. In my past experience, you only need more power with a big number of video tracks…
