new video rig specs needed now, help
I have finaly convinced the boss into getting a replacment for the current and very delapidated video editing workstation, We both think that Mac and Finalcut Pro are the way to go, but we have a really tight budget, So the choice seems to hinge on formfactor.
We want a tower, so we can use it with our dual 20 inch CRTs, and so we can add more than 2 GB of ram and an additional internal hard disk in the future. BUT we also want Intel, to be a little more future proof.
We do Mini DV editing, publish to DVD-Rs and print to VHS tape (via a canopis IO) and I have 2 questions:
Once UB FCS ships, will the 20 inch intel iMac (2gb ram, 256 video ram) be up to it?
I would like to wait till the intel towers ship, but we have to strike while the iorn is hot, so over all, intel iMac or low end G5 tower?
