Hey everyone.
Been trying to find a solid answer to this for days, and everything seems to be hypothetical only. Tried the Adobe Forums, but the only response I got was from someone who felt the need to point out the price of a PC.
I have a 1st gen Mac Pro, and I'm currently using Production Premium CS4. Currently have 8GB of RAM but I could easily upgrade that. I now shoot video with a Canon 5D and 7D. I would really like to start editing native DSLR video, and would like to stick with the Adobe Production suite so I can bounce back and forth between PP and AE easily. However, the 64-bit requirement is where this gets tricky.
Due to the original Mac Pros not being 100% true 64-bit, I am concerned that I may spend $500 on an upgrade that won't work. (Defintiely can't afford a new Mac Pro) Most answers I've found speculate that there shouldn't be a problem. But I'd like to hear confirmation from anyone actually using a 1st Gen Mac Pro with CS5.5 to edit DSLR footage.
So, is anyone actually using this setup to edit? And how does it work?
Thanks for any help!
