Okay guys,
So I sold my MBP and now that I have the money in my pocket, I am actually liking it. I don't want to screw myself, but in an effort to keep as much of that money as possible I am wondering if I can get a regular macbook instead of a macbook pro for video editing.
I realize this is a question that has been hit a few times, but I am looking for the final say on the matter. I realize this is a graphics card question and deals with rendering. I am wanting to know if I buy a macbook have I lost the ability to edit with FCP... additionally what about color, motion, etc that come in the final cut studio package? I called apple and they said that the graphics card would not work, but I am sure there must be someone on the fourm that has tried fcp on a regular macbook??? How did it work out?
Like I said, I would love to save some money and get the regular macbook, but I can't lose the ability to edit video. I am in grad school for film and use FCP daily. Additionally I do other projects on the side (mostly music videos).
thanks for any advice
