Can this Desktop run After Effects or Hitfilms smoothly?

Can't say for certain as I don't use them. Seems to run all videos smoothly though. The video card is pretty decent.

Probably not. It works great as desktop work for up to four screens, but processing calculations and heavy rendering it lacks

I agree with Wright there. I don't know about flawless as it all also depends on many factors but all the Adobe apps like Photoshop cc 64 bit and acrobat etc., run very well.

Using iMovie 11 with no problem at all. Does all the stuff I want, including z-edits. No crashes.

NO, do NOT get a MAC. Overpriced and WAY over-hyped. I can edit 60p with ZERO chop on one of my meager core-duo laptops at 1.8ghz, with effects and PIP's, etc. no problem. You probably are not optimally configured both in hardware and software. What kind of hard drive do you have? This is a very likely culprit. I typically only edit on RAID0 configs because of their awesome speed, and this is where the bottle-neck is really. Also, get some real editing software. I've been using Edius for 10+ years now, and it is simply THE BEST NLE software I have ever used bar none (Vegas, Avid, Premiere Pro through CS4, and yes (sigh) Final Crap Pro). It is incredibly fast, stable, and supports mixed formats and more on a single timeline. Best wishes in any case.

You should be able to do so but it would be unnecessarily complicated. I'm certain there are better softwares for such thing, AfterEffects would be a better option but also complicated for something simple. Whatever built-in software that comes with OSX these days is likely your best best. Would not recommend FCX/FCP for just a slideshow.

I have a full version of Photoshop CS6 installed and haven't seen any issues with performance.

I'll check it out, I've been trying to use Windows Movie Maker, not as bad as I thought, but looking for better, thanks, Woody

Not sure, but I use it with Photoshop and Solidworks, fast nice detailed graphics.

Yes! It works EXCELLENT with design programs. I edit videos and photographs and it runs so smoothly with the programs.

I do not use Adobe After effects but it does do everything i need it to do.

You could try Adobe Premiere Elements. The newest version does just about everything FCE does and more.

I am assuming the bottleneck is the hard drive. My pc desktop's hard drive is 7200 rpm and there has been zero frame drops.24 MB of system memory, 7200 rpm hd, Adobe premiere. Also the hd to store vid cap was a separate drive from the OS drive. This should give you an idea even though we use different platforms.

That mostly depends on the software you get, but the hardware is more than able to use that software to edit video with minimal lag.

Without a doubt. Yes. I did however add an Nvidia video card to the computer with 2GB of Ram. Other than that the computer has handled everything I've thrown at it from video editing (HD) to full blown audio studio recording with Native Instruments Komplete, Camel Audio Alchemy, FL Studio, Ableton Live and more... can't go wrong with these guys.

It can run Photoshop, yes. However, performance will not be great- especially when applying CPU intensive features like rendering or filters.

yes... I have used both adobe AND autocad. they both are very fast on an i7 machine.
