Choosing a video editing system can be daunting. So many alternatives, with new developments each week it seems. So how do you choose? And why would you want to consider Casablanca?

The Mindmap below gives you the key reasons why Casablanca works for thousands of people around the world. Apply these criteria to your own situation and see it it makes sense for you.

When reviewing digital video editing solutions, think through exactly what you really need from a system. Whatever you choose, consider the total (and true) cost of system ownership over its lifetime. Include cost of system downtime for maintenance and troubleshooting of typical personal computer (PC) solutions. Good PC/Mac systems can work well, but don't be tricked into thinking they are cheap solutions. They are not, and you DO need to maintain them. If you have the time and skills for this, you should be fine. If not, give Casablanca a try.

Casablanca has been designed for video, performing without the overhead and downtime of typical computer systems. Casablanca works just as well with short videos (minutes) or with very long projects (over 30 hours for a 500GB drive). For you, this means high performance now, and for as long as you need into the future.

Casablanca will free your creativity for getting work done, and achieving exactly what you want. Just plan and shoot your video. Then edit and burn your DVD or record to tape. Don't waste time and energy fiddling with technological complexities. Make your movie!

Many videomakers world-wide depend on Casablanca to earn their daily bread. A great comfort in this complex world of ours.

Whatever you choose, ensure you can focus on making great video. Enjoy and share your results with others too. Welcome to the wonderful world of digital video!
