Hey fellow Mac peers,
I don't know so much about computer so I was wondering if any one could help me with what kind of specs I should look at in a new Pro Tower. I don't have a lot of money at the moment so I want to know how much I need to save up to have a decent film editing system that I shouldn't have to upgrade for a while. I want the computer for editing films, I mainly edit short films but I want to work up to doing feature length films. I also do assisting for other editors which means lots of transcoding of footage.
I am using a mac book pro at the moment with 2gb Ram and 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, which is not really efficient enough any more for doing paid work. I just did some work that was Shot on RED and it killed me the time it took to transcode the footage.
Thanks.
