Hi everyone!
Just finished a low/ no budget film shot on Red Epic and now I need to start editing. However my workstations are getting old. I have a:
Late 2007 MacBook running 10.7.5, 2,2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo,
Memory 4 GB 667 Mhz,
Graphic card, Intel GMA X3100 144 MB, Bus speed 800MHz and a:
2003 G5 1,8 Dual core 10.5.3, Memory 512 MB but with 8 slots possible to upgrade to 8 GB. GEForce FX 5200, Bus speed 900MHz
On the G5 I have FCP 5. Possible to upgrade to FCP 6 but no further.
Which workstation should I concentrate on? I will make ProRes files to be able to handle them in the edit. If I go with the MacBook I will get FCP 8 or 9 after that it gets "useless" I seem to remember. Could go Premiere possible since that of Avid is where the industry seems to go. I will use my apple cinema display 1680 x 1050 32 bit with either solution.
