I emailed the seller direct asking if this came with video editing software, and if not, what they would suggest to go with this particular laptop, but the seller did not respond. Anyone?

I believe iMovie comes with the OS... if so, it is pretty good and uploads directly to YouTube and maybe even Facebook. Confirmed from Apple: "That's why iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are now free with every Mac and iOS device." (http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/)

I am not sure about this seller? If he hasn't responded, I would question that. He is a new seller and has no feedback. Just a thought.

I didn't know they still sold this model; its roughly 2ish years old. I think you may want to look for a laptop with dedicated graphics.

S. Albert -I was thinking the same thing - taking the laptop and Minoru webcam out and capturing something interesting (more interesting than my face). But when going through the reviews, a few people have said that the picture gets overexposed easily and it works much better indoors. That's the only reason I'm hesitating to buy this thing. Hopefully they'll get it fixed soon -- someone mentioned that it was possibly just a software fix.

I've done video editing with sony vegas and photo editing with Photoshop CS6 and it works flawlessly! At the time of doing both of those there was definitely music going, along with 10 chrome tabs... Possibly more

Hello Burak, I recommend a 2.4GHz Dual or Quad-core processor or higher in order to improve your issue(if you are doing high-definition editing ie. 1920x1080 editing--if you are doing standard video editing then you processor should suffice). 4GB of RAM should suffice but it is recommended that you have a higher GHz processor. This should improve lock-ups/freezes. Vista is not the greatest operating system but there are ways around it to make it work better. Also, I recommend Corel Videostudio Pro X2 over Pinnacle anyday...I have Pinnacle Studio 12 and it definetly has more software issues then Coral has. I hope I was of some help. George

Yes you can edit videos you just need to download the programe for doing such a work. The computer is really fast and solid to work with gtaphics and videos. We are really happy with this laptop.

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.

Hey Adam! I have done a bit of "digital audio recording" myself on Logic Express 9. I have managed to do this on an early 2008 white macbook (2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM, and a 120 GB 5400 rpm). I ran into a few problems with the hard drive being to slow and the application crashing because I didn't have enough RAM. Though I never ran into problems with the processor, and there is a reason for this. Recording software doesn't rely on the processor as much as it does the RAM and hard disk speed. A 2.4 GHz i5 is plenty for your needs. The things you should pay attention to are RAM, which this computer has 4 GB of (unless you are recording/mixing more than 7 or 8 tracks this will be plenty). It is expandable to 16 gb, which is probably enough RAM to handle time travel. And the hard drive speed...which if you manage your computers files well, and don't let it get all bogged down like a ...*gulp* WinDoWs ComPuTRe...then you will be ok ;). Basically what im getting at is that the i5 model will work just fine n' dandy, and as for the i7? You would just be buying a higher capacity, graphically faster (video games, videos, making shapes with the mouse pointer, the list goes on) laptop that has a better resale value. Hope this helped. -Andy

Bro, an ultrabook for 500$, you take what you get! The machine is plenty fast enough for popular needs. The most strenuous activity I use it for is video djing, and it's plenty fast for that too. If you're looking for a machine to do something like video editing, don't be looking in the 500$ price range! Overall, it's a great machine for the price.

Yes, super easy to do. If you haven't bought the laptop yet, I would recommend something else.

I bought this laptop as a gift for my daughter. She specifically asked for this one. Though I am not " that computer savvy ", she is..As for " software..I couldn't give specifics..but, my daughter plays music, watches movies, on the web, does a lot of graphics. I'm sorry this probably doesn't help much..all I can really say, is , she loves hers and feels it far surpasses her last laptop. Good luck.

Software is not included. A video editing software that has the Chromakey (Adobe Premiere is mine) option will need to be used to get the professional results you'd want.---Bryce

you must be fairly new to editing. i recommend understanding (google) color calibration (on your equipment), and color correction (in your images/video). that being said, i have installed the Adobe CS6 Master Collection and primarily edit photographs in Photoshop. i'm happy to report this laptop handles all Photoshop tasks very decently, although much slower than what i'm accustomed to on my desktop. i have not done any editing using Premier Pro but i expect about the same. built with a core2duo processor, which, although powerful in it's own right (i can play blurays and bluray rips [35-40mbps video @1080p] on this laptop like a breeze), it's still relying on Intel 4000 graphics. this notebook does not have a dedicated graphics card and has 4Gb of RAM. all that being said, this laptop is an ideal balance between price vs. performance. as a photo editor, i need no more for portable photo editing. i have a Colormunki Photo that i still haven't used to calibrate my display but i'm sure i'll have no problem creating a custom profile on this laptop for on-the-go editing when proper color is also critical. if you live in the US, and have some way of getting to a Fry's Electronics, i'd wait until they have this model on special. i got mine for $269.99 (+ Cali tax) in October 2012..

Yes it does. Everything else about the laptop seemed good, it came highly recommended by friends that know more than I do. I realize that sometimes you get a problem with things, so I still have high hopes for it. I hope this helps.

I have had this laptop for a couple of years now and it has worked fine for me, i use this laptop to do my college homework on it. I have never done anything on it with editing videos but i believe there are programs you can download to edit videos on this laptop if you would be interested in looking that up to be totally sure, if you would want to go another way some other great laptop brands that are really good are HP, Acer, Asus, and Lenovo

Hi Faith. it is very difficult to upgrade a laptop video as most all of them are part of the motherboard they also do not have a pci slot. in a rare circumstances its a different type of card because of room and heat requirements. also you have to disassemble the entire laptop to see if it can even be upgraded. Sorry I could not help you more. Maxing out the Ram is about the only help the graphics performance
