Editing with vintage macs
I was wondering if anybody could advise me on the relative merits and disadvantages of working with older macs.
I was shopping for used powermacs on craigslist. Let's say I was able to pick up a PowerMac G5 1.6Ghz (single) with 1Gb RAM...Am I going to be able to reasonably edit a 90-minute project in ProRes? I understand there are different compression settings for ProRes, including an offline codec--ProRes 422 (Proxy). How old of a mac can you get while still remaining viable? |

Maybe. A dual G5 certainly can handle ProRes but a single? Not so sure it won't be an adventure in low resolution preview editing.
