I have a few new clients and can finally justifiy the upgrades!

I'll be installing:

Adobe Photoshop CS
Adobe Acrobat Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe After Effects 6
Adobe Encore
Adobe Audition

AND!

Macromedia Studio MX 2004
Flash MX 2004 Professional
Dreamweaver MX 2004
Fireworks MX 2004
Freehand MX 2004

 

Oh yeah, I'll be reading a few manuals trying to figure out what was upgraded!

 

No shit!

 

video editing is one of the most fun and satisfying things I've done on a computer...

it's also one of the most time-consuming hobbies I've ever dabbled in! I cannot tell you how many hours I've spent trying to make the perfect 60, 30, even 15 second sequence.

having a fast processor (or two) and loads and loads of RAM are a must, or you end up spending hours over the life of the project just waiting for your complicated renderings to complete.

damn, talking about it makes me want to fire up the Canon XL1 and go film stuff.

 

I'm guessing you have a pretty phatty computer setup too...

 

damn talk about going alll out haha

I can do only about half of the programs you listed...well actually only the adobe programs
