Howdy.
newbie to the forums.
hoping you guys could give me some insight. I've been going back and forth on this for a while.
I have won a scholarship that gives me a stipend to buy a new computer.
I'm hoping to get into digital video editing. I want to get the best i can, for the money they're giving me (my budget is $2500), BUT i also want to get something that's not gonna be outdated in a few months. and perhaps gives me some upgradability, and will help me be in the professional field of video editing.
That being said, I'd much prefer to get a PC. However, I'm aware that mac's are more industry standard in editing, as well as final cut pro (right now i have premiere pro on my pc that i use.)
personally, i think premiere pro is on par with final cut pro these days. the newest version is just as good. unfortunately, i know that industry standard leans more towards final cut.
so thats what brought me to consider using the money to get a mac. I never wanted to go that route b/c mac's are just too expensive for me.
I could probably get more for my money in a pc than a mac. but, what also steered me away from mac's was, i'm used to being able to upgrade pc's so easily.
anywho, what is the best i can get for video editing in a mac with a $2500 budget? (i don't want a laptop, I want a desktop).
Suggestions? help?
Thanks a ton!
