Video editors are massive apps requiring huge storage and memory. I had pinnacle on an older system and it was a resource hog.

Unless you're a professional videographer, you're probably better off using MS moviemaker or some other lightweight app.

Minimum System Requirements
Windows XP, Vista or 7 running on Intel or AMD CPU with SSE2-Support; Mac OS X 10.6.8 or higher running on a 64-bit Intel-based Mac; 1024 MB free RAM, DVD ROM drive. Standard DVD installation can take up to 7 GB of disk space.

A Word About Graphics Cards
In short, CINEMA 4D and BodyPaint 3D run on any OpenGL 2.1-capable graphics card. We do however strongly recommend using a dedicated 3D graphics card with a chipset from AMD or NVIDIA. Currently, powerful graphics chips are also available on mid-range notebooks.

Always make sure to use the latest drivers (no beta versions), certified for your operating system. Newer drivers are usually faster and more stable.
