While it may be tricky as a shreditor, once you wrap your production and sit down to edit<\/strong>, you need to clear your mind<\/strong> (and close your distracting tabs of emails and calendars) to focus on your final task<\/strong>. A good way to do this is to build your editing workspace into your dark, cool, and quiet sanctuary<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Besides a quiet space where you won\u2019t get too distracted<\/strong>, you also need to build a workstation that can handle all your post-production needs<\/strong>. A solid, up-to-date computer is a good place to start<\/strong>. Here are the system requirements<\/strong> for running Adobe\u2019s Premiere Pro<\/a>, After Effects<\/a>, Apple\u2019s Final Cut X<\/a> and Blackmagic\u2019s DaVinci Resolve<\/a> (all programs you may want to use).<\/p>\n

Some recommendations for desktop macs and PCs here<\/strong>. (Note: these are all new machines, be sure to explore older or refurbished models<\/strong> if you’re interested).<\/p>\n
