View Full Version : Mac Book Pro Capabilities... Jeff Tarascio June 25th, 2007, 08:22 AM I am very curious about the possibilities of editing HD/HDV on a Mac Book Pro. I know the MBP is advertised for such capabilities, but does anyone know how good (or Bad) the performance of Final Cut Pro on the Mac Book is truly? Duane Steiner July 1st, 2007, 03:14 PM I am also curious about this. Is a Mac Book Pro good enough to edit HDV? Pat King July 2nd, 2007, 01:07 PM im wondering the same Matthew Gore July 2nd, 2007, 01:51 PM Yes, The Mac book pro loaded with ram does a really good job with HDV. Mauritius Seeger July 8th, 2007, 07:12 PM i've edited HD footage on my G4 power book - so it should definitely be possible on a new intel mac!! Chris Harris July 8th, 2007, 09:54 PM Yeah, I'm editing HDV on this MacBook (not Pro), and it's wonderful. Terry Griffey July 9th, 2007, 07:32 PM Editing HDV on a MacBook Pro in FCP5 or 6 works well. I have 3 gigs of RAM and have had no problems. Using Color for grading in FCP 2 is another issue altogether! Check out the info on this site regarding use of the ProRes for editing HD material if you are using FCP2. Lots of good info here that may enhance your MacBook Pro performance. TG |
