I am thinking about getting a mac and final cut pro for making videos. Is this a good idea and if so, what kind of mac should I get?
Sure it will. Are you thinking notebook or desktop?
Which one is better?
Well, I would like to be able to edit videos outside, and I am limited on space, so maybe a notebook would work. But what kind of notebook should I get.
I would like a lot of space for videos, but I don't want the most expensive one. Also, what version of final cut should I get for editing. Which would be best for me?
p.s. My videos will go on youtube.
I tend to think the low-end 15" MacBook Pro would fit the bill for you. And if you're just cutting YouTube videos, you should probably consider iMovie (which comes preinstalled on new Macs), before you spend anything extra on Final Cut/Express.
I forgot to mention, I'll be doing videos in school with Final Cut.
Keep in mind you probably want a Macbook Pro (now a muddied name) with a discreet graphics processor. So in US$ terms, that is the $2000 one. Specifically, the models that come with the 9600M GT graphics processor. If you can't afford that, then look at getting a refurb with a discreet processor.
