Mac Pro would be awesome, but damn it's pricey. I'll rely on external storage for the most part. If anyone has any experience, will the Core 2 iMac (3.06 GHz dual core) be fast enough for editing? Even with HD? I won't be making motion pictures, just like 2-10 minute videos for Youtube etc., sometimes using several cameras/sources including HD. #1 would be nice but it's double the price of #2. My biggest concern about picking #2 is that it won't be fast enough. I'm tending to think #3 is the worst solution, I don't want to do editing on a notebook. All systems were running Mac OS X 10.5.6 with the Mac Pro 2.66GHz Quad Core outfitted with 3GB of RAM, and the Mac Pro 2.26GHz 8-Core with 6GB of RAM. we need a Mac to do this.ġ) Mac Pro desktop (quad Xeon) starts at $2500 + monitor (we may have an extra LCD)Ģ) iMac desktop (Core 2 duo) starts at $1199ģ) Macbook Pro (notebook) starts at $1199 We want to play around with Final Cut Pro and currently only have Windows PCs, so.
