Mac Specs and the HD1000
I've been searching these boards and others for a while now. I get hints as to what machine specs I would need to edit in FCP on a Mac, but no concrete answers.
Can anyone help as to what sort of processor/memory/video card I would need to edit h.264 HD1000 smoothly? I am purchasing a new computer and figuring I would go Mac. What do you currently use for editing h.264? Do I need quad core? can I get away with core 2 duo? Thanks all. |
I don't have a Mac, but went into the Apple Store and tried some 1280x720 60p footage in FCP on an iMac and Powerbook Pro and they both played it fine. Don't think it would be a problem. I have read that the 1080 footage can cause some problems.

Does the AVC driver work? Does it work inside FCP? Has anyone download this? Is any one using the Sanyo??? |
Yes, once installed in the Library/Quicktime folder, the footage will play and be editable in FCP6. But for some reasons, you have to crop out first one or two fields of the clips that show a white screen.

Thanks, everyone for the input. I'm trying to decide what to purchase.
Anyone out there using Avid Media Composer or Xpress with H.264? How well does that work? |
