Hi guys!
I currently have the iMac 2009, 3.06 core 2 duo, 4 GB, 9400m
I am starting to like working with after effects CS5. So jumping from a crappy digital camera, i bought myself the canon 60d. ( AWESOME CAMERA! ). I have 2 questions.

1) What does improve rendering more? better CPU, more RAM or better grapics vard.


2)Do you need to optimize footage from a DSLR for after effects CS5?...because when i scrub through my footage its's a choppy and hard to edit in realtime. ( wasn't the case with digital camera footage ).
I read something about transcoding the footage or something like that ...

HELP! :D
