Don't meddle with HD video, except possibly the 1280x720 MJPEG or MP4 variety, unless you have a top notch i7 machine and dedicated graphics card, or an equivalent. Don't judge your PC's adequacy based on "minimum spec" listed on the software's "system requirements." You'll need more than that, unless you aim only to edit very short projects. Otherwise, you will be encumbered with system hangs, interminable render times, and extremely sluggish import and edit operations.
Not strictly speaking true.
I edit my Panny HD (1920 x 1080 50p) on a lower spec laptop without a problem.
The caveat is that I do it using 'offline' files (sometimes called 'Proxy Editing')
I first create a lower res version of the Video/s, and edit these in my software (Premiere).
Once I am happy with the finished article I use the facility of 'replace clip' to swap out the low res for the full res video/s and then render the final version.
It does involve the extra overhead of creating the low res first, but it does save the expense of buying a new PC (my laptop can't be upgraded to the required spec.)
