Never use your internal HD to edit videos?

[QUOTE="David Green, post: 1329392, member: 219006"] Hello all, the recon continues... I was settled on getting a 2.7ghz 21.5" iMac with 2Tb internal hard drive. But - according to some - one should never use anything but an external hard drive when it comes to video editing. If this is sound wisdom, would I be able to get away with using an entry level 21.5" iMac (500gb HD)? Before purchasing external hard drives I wish to make just two ten minute videos shot from the built in 720p camera and then edit using iMovie 11 before exporting to YouTube. Will I be able to do that without bits of iMac shrapnel exploding across the room? Once I've done that I won't be editing any video until purchasing FCPX and a camera months down the line - when I will be getting external hard drives for storage, backup and editing. Furthermore, what is the point of buying extra internal HD space when you can (and allegedly should) do all your editing via an external drive? Thanks [/QUOTE]
