I grew up on PCs and build custom setups for my video editing work (a collective GASP from the audience ).
I have an opportunity to do some contract video editing for a client. They require that I use Final Cut Pro and hence Mac. At work I'll be using a G4 dual processor setup, but I need to be able to work at home as well. They have given me the option to buy a used Titanium PowerBook G4 for $1000. (800MHz, 40Gig, 512MB)
I have NO IDEA if this is a good deal or if it will be able to do my work away from work.
(I will be using an external 7200RPM hard drive for storage and eventually I will upgrade to 1Gig of RAM...)
Do you think this machine will run Final Cut Pro 4 effectively? How will my render times be??
Any insight is greatly appreciated!
(If anyone has experience doing video work on this machine I would LOVE to hear from you.)
Thanks for your time.
