I recently became a YouTube Partner, and I will soon be purchasing an HD 1080p Camera. With that, I would like to purchase a new machine (Windows or Mac). I want to purchase a machine in which I can edit the 1080p (60fps) video at a decent amount of speed.
I currently own both Windows and Macs and I use Sony Vegas on Windows, and Final Cut Express + ScreenFlow + iMovie (iMovie VERY RARELY AND ONLY IF I NEED TO GET A FAST EDIT DOWN). My minds are headed towards buying either an iMac (i7) or a Mac Pro.
As far as Windows goes, I really do not know what to buy as far as the specs go, because I currently have an i5 that i use to edit videos on Sony Vegas and CS5 (AfterEffects) and its pretty slow (my graphics card is a Nvidia 9800).
Thanks for the help, and I know I might sound a little unorganized, but im honestly very confused where to start, so thanks for all the help
