My youtube debut

[ajmckay]

This is my first real attempt at video editing. I made a spoof of the freecreditreport.com commercials and I'm trying to receive some feedback as to how I might have made this video better. It's pretty short, but I think it came together well. Some information:

Camera: Kodak Zi8 (an external mic. was used to capture the audio)
Video editor: Adobe premiere
Computer specs:
- AMD Athlon X2 3000 (dual core 3.0ghz)
- 4gb RAM
- SLI Nvidia Geforce 8800GTS
- 1tb Seagate barracude HDD SATA 7200rpm
- Asus 23" monitor

So specifically I'm wondering if there are any weaknesses in my computer specs. I want to start doing more video editing and I felt like this one bogged down my PC even in the resolution I rendered it in. The source file was 720p 30fps.

Next, I'm wondering if there are any good websites to learn more about videography. I tried to separate my "scenes" but I'm not sure how successful I was.

Finally, does anyone know of a forum which is specifically for critiquing videos? This one is hobby-related, so I'm starting by looking for feedback here. I am a regular on nanoreef (as I mention in the video) but several local people to me are moving onto this forum so I will probably start frequenting here more often.

Thanks.
