Re: Building first HD editing station

Thank you for the link, very helpful.

I guess I should have said earlier that once folks pointed out the importance of a stripped RAID, I was going to go with 6 - 250GB. I was going to strip 2 together for the C drive and the other 4 for the D drive, RAID 0 of course.

I was doing some reading over the weekend and learned about the concept of offline and online editing. I am thinking I might simply do the edit offline. When that was done, go online to do the transitions and build the Blue-ray in online.

With the RAID system I described, will things still run smoother if I offline the edit, or will there be enough speed that I can online the whole process?

Mind you, this year the target deliverable is only SD, which is why I am thinking I want to offline it in SD this year, if the customer wants a Blue-ray for himself, I can online the production of that.
