MacBook Pro: Specs for HD work
I prefer laptop over desktop, but I want a solid work station...
First, is a laptop even gonna be able to deliver ease of workflow? If I bought a MacBook 15" 2.33 ghz, what video card, etc options should I get for productive HDV workflow using FCP 5.1? Would Motion run on that laptop? Any info, opinions, tips would be appreciated. And also, I now have a G4 1.25 ghz Powerbook. Should I be able to capture and edit using FCP 5.0.4? Would a card providing another FW buss be a necessity? thanks, elmer |
The MacBookPro can run FCS just fine. You'll need an external HD for media, though.
HDV seems to be a PITA and most seem to use either the Intermediate Codec or DVCPRO HD for editing. There are quite a few logical reasons for this. (Do a search). Does your G4 have FW400 & 800? In that case, you should be fine. Gunleik |
