I have spent several days studying the pros and cons of the 5 main consumer video editors and have decided that PD8 might be the best compromise for me, if it runs on my laptop.
I want to combine short HD video clips and stills from my Sony HX1 into a reasonable looking presentation. I have a Dell Studio laptop, core 2 duo P8600 @ 2.4 GHz, 3 Gb of ram and Radion HD4570 graphics.
Will that run PD8 without crashing ?
I have also posed this question to customer support, but thought I might get a quicker response here.

Sorry, should have said I'm running Windows XP Pro.

Hi Ray,

I think you have plenty of horsepower to run PD8.

I am running PD8 on a Dell laptop w/ Core Duo running 2.2 GHz w/ 2 gigs of ram (Vista). Works great!

I was in the same boat about a week ago. After trying PD8, I decided to buy the full version. Now, I'm regretting it. It locks up during the production phase. So, I do all the work to edit the videos, and then I can't do anything with them.

If they fix that, then it will be great. I have yet to find a fix, however, and there is no update as of yet. I posted the information they asked for on this site, but that was only a couple of days ago and I haven't gotten a response yet.

Just my $.02...
