Okay, I'm a graphic designer inside a company and I put together anything from ads, to custom illustrations, web pages, web banners and recently video editing and exporting. The problem is...I believe my current computer system CANNOT handle this type of work. With only Illustrator open, it struggles with the 3D rendering, so you can imagine my delay when editing video within Encore, Soundbooth and Premier Pro. It's been difficult to get answers from our IT dept, so I've had to take matters into my own hands to find out the real recommendations for what I need to get my job done quickly, turnaround video files from our communications dept. in a more timely manner, without rebooting 2 or 3x.
Software I do on a daily basis; InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash, Acrobat Pro and LiveCycle. In addition to these everyday projects, about once every two weeks I get asked to edit, capture, convert, export to DVD or upload to a website HD videos. AVIs anywhere from 2 to 9GB, which I then use Encore, Premier Pro, Soundbooth, and sometimes Flash and Dreamweaver to work with.
Please look at my current system and let me know your opinions. Your extensive knowledge is invaluable to me and I would be extremely grateful for anyone taking the time to help me with this issue.
A thousand times thank you!!!
If you need any other info, I will be more than happy to post more images.
