Forced Upgrades
For almost two years now, I have been editing all of my video on my Mac Mini. Ya, I know it isn’t the best for the job, but it was what I could afford at the time and let me tell you, it is a work horse. Well, it was a work horse. This past weekend, I went to import video from my latest wedding shoot and the video was freezing. After a frustrating weekend, I finally gave in and did something that I was waiting till I had a little more money to do. On Monday morning, I went ahead and purchased a brand new Mac Pro.
This is the top of the line in video editing as far as most people are concerned. It is powerful, it is fast, and it is what companies like Dreamworks are using. Of course, this is just a box with out my other purchase. While I was at it, I also purchased the brand new (just came out yesterday) editing studio from Apple, Final Cut Studio 2.
Now, with these two new tools, I will be editing faster and at a higher quality than ever before. It may have been a forced purchase, but it one that will be well worth it in the end.
