Computers we use

Posted on February 9, 2010

We have several computers, all macs.  I have 2 machines I use for editing.  One is an Intel Power Mac tower.  I do most of my editing on this computer.  I have a total of 13 terabytes of hard drive space.  I also have 2 drive enclosures setup that are raid drives, so I will never lose anything that is on them.  Although this seems like overkill, we shoot everything in HD and then copy the files to 2 different drives and so space gets full very fast when we are in the heart of the wedding season.  Most of the drives are external esata drives.  I also have an external Bluray burner.  I also have a 27 inch Intel Imac, which I have been using to edit on.  Along with our own weddings, I also edit weddings for other companies and I use this computer for that.  It presently sits on our kitchen table.   Janell is really pleased about that.  Editing is a very tedious process.  We normally do 10 weddings or so per year and I can also edit up to 15 or 20 more from other companies, so it is really important to make the process as interesting as possible.  Being able to pick up the Imac and edit in a different part of the house is really nice and breaks up the monotony somewhat.  Along with these 2 computers for editing, we have an older Imac for our bookwork and a laptop.
