Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys knew how well the new 13" MacBook Pro (the starting 4.5k one) can run FCP
And yes that's the max I can afford for a laptop right now, it's either move to a mac or get a more powerful dell albeit sans FCP This post has been edited by deleted: Jul 30 2009, 01:32 PM |

QUOTE(nimrod323 @ Jul 30 2009, 06:57 PM) definitely why not? FCP doesnt come alone its under FCS ready, so after installation it takes about 60++ GBs of your HDD space so the stock 160GB wont do, its better to upgrade the internal HDD and get an external HDD as a scratch disk for your SD or HD camcorder. Though rendering the video may take up some time due to its default memory being at 2GB unless you upgrade to 8GB which is more expensive. I have a 1TB external currently in use for video capture So the CPU and GC(is this even involved much? lol) and RAM (lets say i stick to 2gb or up it to 4gb) is sufficient? i read somewhere that it wont be good because of the GC or maybe that was for motion, i'm not entirely sure |
