Title: So... How is that new PC Beemaster?
Post by: beemaster on September 25, 2010, 01:46:55 pm
Well...

I'm loving it, the speed is unreal, you don't recognize it everywhere, but when you do the stuff that requires that Intel I7 stuff, it shines.

I bought three things (okay four things) the night the PC came.

Crysis - the benchmark video game used for all processor tests - modern day warfare game, when everything is alive and moving, trees that are shot down by bullets fall and bend and break other trees as they fall, just amazing the stuff that interacts, you can see why it taxes processors.

BioShock - okay, a zombie game, who'da thought it - lol. Pretty cool too.

A wireless Microsoft Gaming controller that pushes my hand coordination to the extreme, but it is lightning fast and vibrates with the action.

Movie Edit Pro 16 HD - the dream is finally here, software AND a computer that can handle HD flawlessly and it does. I think it worth mentioning, if you video in MPEG-4 format, you need to pay royalty rights (under $5) above the cost of the software, but it was well worth it since my HD camera does that format and I don't need to convert anything.

There are over 5000 effects that you can use in this edit software - each scene can have its volume, contrast color, etc., changed so that visually and audibly everything is seamless. The fades are great and I'm just learning.

I can finally do the Bud2 video I've always wanted to do :) and now I can use my camera to the fullest and watch out Youtube, I'm going to town - finally. It was depressing trying to edit any of the footage at about 5 frames a second, now I match the 30fps of the cam and could go well beyond that.

So, having fun. Still loading software, it is amazing how many programs you build up in your computer over the years - and nuts how many you use frequently.

bioshock is way cool.  it's one of those games that's hard to put down and i even dreamed about it.  that's rare for me  :-D  there are other games that are more intense, but not many that are so much fun.  i'm on the hunt for bioshock2 on ebay.

another good one is fallout 3 if they make it for PC.

gehlmauer:

Welcome to the forum - remember to add you location to your profile page :)

I'll do you the best favor I can do anyone - share my secret for learning/searching anything on the internet that I know little about:

1) I use Google - as most people do

2) but then when I get to the google response page, I go to the top left of the page where it says: Images - Videos - Maps - News - Shopping - more

3) I ALWAYS GO TO "VIDEO" which takes me to a screen with several video links and then a ton of Youtube videos. I start all searches here, watching everything I can - SO that when I search news or web-pages, I have a deeper knowledge of what I'm searching.

Give that a try, look at all the videos on Magix's Edit Pro 16 Plus just as I did, you will learn more from watching how people use it through video than I could ever tell you here. So that is my secret, now you know it and I hope you use this trick to mastering the basics on anything. Youtube and other video sites have endless walk-thrus that will give you A to Z on anything and it is fun.
