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
