I'm trying to decide whether to get an iMac or a MacBook Pro to do video editing. Generally speaking, i've been inclined toward the desktop, but i have 2 concerns:
1) Will the glossy screen make editing difficult because of the reflections? in the store, i found the glare kind of annoying, but i'd like to hear from editors who have spent time on it.
2) The new MacBook Pro has a better video card, which is not yet available with the iMac, a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 512MB instead of an ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB memory in the iMac. How much of a difference will this make with FinalCut Pro?
thanks
