Operating system for a video editer

Is there some sort of operationg system especially for Adobe Premier and/or other video editing products? I currently only running 1 80gB hard drive, and that's barely enough. I was thinking of setting up two, one having XP with all my normal apps. and the other with all my Abobe stuff. Anyone have any good setup suggestions?
 
Are you refering to dual-booting? Most of Adobe's new stuff requires Windows XP so you don't have much of a choice. I don't see the point in dual-booting with XP on each partition. You probably shouldn't be using your primary disk to handle video editing. Pick up a decent sized hard disk (or external hard disk) and use that to store your video projects / video files.

 
well for starters, primiere sucks.
the industry standard is avid, which is expensive and kind of counter-intuitive to learn if you are used to something like premiere.

and then....there is the dreaded apple route 😛
 
True... the industry standard is Avid... but this fella doesn't sound like he's fully immersed in the video industry... so Premiere might work just fine for him at home.

I'm not ashamed to say that I make small movies and DVDs using (gasp) consumer software... Pinnacle Studio. You have to know how to edit to tell a story... it's not only about software.

If I was serious, I'd have a dreaded Apple G5 with Final Cut Pro or Avid.... yummy. But I'd be happy with WinXP, the Matrox RT.X100, and Premiere.

Matrox RT.X100
