Hi, I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on a fully loaded iMac 5K for all my video editing. I have always done my video editing on PC's. Currently, I am using Windows 7 with Sony Vegas Pro as my NLE. I'm jumping ship, too many years of being pushed/blackmailed to upgrade to new Windows versions. If you don't upgrade, you're left without support, etc.. I realize that updates are a constant with any OS, software, etc., but purchasing a new OS, software, etc. every few years is getting to be too much........
Mac..... take me away!
Now that I got that off my chest, I have a few questions due to being oblivious to Apples way of doing things.
1) I've heard that Apple will always have support for their products? In other words, they won't hang you out to dry like I've been used to. Is this true?
2) OS???? How often does Apple change their OS?
3) Software and Updates.... Lets say for example; If I was to purchase FCP X 10 and six months from now a new version comes out FCP X 11 where would that leave me?
a) Will I still have support for FCP X 10?
b) Will it cost me to upgrade to FCP X 11?
I'm so glad that I'm now able to move to Mac for all my video editing needs. I just need to know how Apple operates for their (real world)customers meaning you. Please let me know your thoughts and experiences. Thanks in advance, Ray
