I am buying the Canon EOS 20.2 MP DSLR with the EF-S 18-55 mm Lens. I plan on using this camera for photos and making You Tube videos. What type of computer do I need for rendering? My laptop right now does not have the graphics capabilities. How do I convert MOV files to another format that is compatible with an editing software such as Light works, without ruining the video quality.
Getting into video editing, need to know the basics

I would suggest Adobe Create Suite. Me and my buddies do video editing and we have some pretty power full computers and and still takes a while but then we are working with a Black Magic 2.5K Camera. We use CS6 for everything. Editing, Converting, ect. There are free programs out there that can convert different file formats and also a few free video editing programs as well.

What is your budget for a computer? Are you looking for a desktop or laptop computer? You shouldn't need to convert the video before importing into your video editor but one free software that could do the job is MPEG Streamclip (http
/www.squared5.com/) or Handbrake (http/handbrake.fr/). Do you plan on using the free version of Lightworks or the Pro version? The free version lacks many of the codecs you will need. The Pro version is $60 a year. If you decide to subscribe to Adobe Creative Cloud you will have access to all of the Adobe products (Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, and SpeedGrade just to name a few) you would need for about $60 a month. Another possible professional editing tool is Avid Media Composer.
