Upgrade or new purchase

franco2000

Recruit
Just getting into video editing. No plans to make Lord of the Rings 4, just 10 minutes or less simple business videos or small promotional pieces. I have the setup below and I just finished a 10 minute video and it worked fine, but a bit slow. I use Premiere Pro.

I want to upgrade slowly and with little investment until a get a better feel for my market. If you think I can't do it slowly or within the budget I have, let me know and I'll revisit this in a few weeks or months.

If you have a suggestion on just upgrading one item for now until my evaluation period ends, let me know.

I read all the threads on video editing.

thanks
