Can i use this PC to make movies like DC animated ones?

[RaviTripathi981]

Since i only have access to this windows  xp machine and 1 year time to make movies like recent injustice movie from DC 

Software i have:-

Adobe photoshop cs2

Adobe premire pro 6 and after effects 6

3ds max 7

Pro tools 8

 

Pls tell can i make movie on avove platform??

[tkitch]

in theory?  Yes.  

 

Realistically?  Not a damned chance.  If it's a windows XP box, it's going to be very slow, and will take ages to render anything.  Nevermind video editing.

 

Also, you're clearly not trained on these apps, since you're asking the question, so you'd also have to learn them which is not a 1 week job.

No the machine has core i7 2500, 16 gb ddr4 Ram, Nvidia gtx 460 in SLi,1 tb Hdd 

Then would it be fast enough now??

Ummm, So first things first: That's an old machine. UNlikely you'll make something like DC who likely has many times more powerful hardware.

Second: It also depends on YOU. You're experience is generally far more important. Software is also important.

You CAN make a movie, but I doubt you can make a 1080p movie, with effects, with that hardware, without major slowdowns.

Also, since when did 2nd gen support DDR4?

Do you have the still to use these programs? You will be skill limited here, not computer limited. 

 

Your won't be able to make the latest and greatest with this pc, but even pretty old cgi movies look pretty good still.

Southpark was made with ONLY Adobe Flash back in the day that will run with only 1ghz PC.

Yeah, why not. Don't let the machine dictate your creativity.

You need skills to do it, and it won't come overnight.

Do you mean you have one year? If so, no way in hell are you going to make an animated movie in one year.

Are you sure it's windows xp and not windows 7 ? Because unless you have that rare 64bit version of Windows xp, you won't be using 75% of that RAM. Not to mention, there's literally no reason to use XP considering next to nothing works on it anymore. Forget using the internet on that thing to look for information.

 

If your plan is to make a SHORT movie, sure, you could. The rest depends entirely on your own skills with those softwares.

Also Windows XP wasn't programmed to utilize more than a single core,

So you leave a lot of performance on the table going with XP.

And the 64 bit version didn't support 32 bit programs.

Who told you this shit?

A simple google search clearly tells Windows xp 64 bit can support dual quad core processor workstation.

Also i7 980x hexa core processor is xp compatible !
