Hi
I've owned an iMac for about five weeks. Its my first Mac after many years of PC. (Sorry!!)
I bought the Mac to get into FCP editing after using Adobe Premier for a long while. I went for the iMac and the specs are 3.06 ghz processor, 4GB RAM and the graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS with 512MB RAM
from the About this Mac:
Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS
Type: Display
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 512 MB
Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x0609
Revision ID: 0x00a2
ROM Revision: 3234
Displays:
iMac:
Resolution: 1920 x 1200
Depth: 32-Bit Color
Core Image: Hardware Accelerated
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Quartz Extreme: Supported
Built-In: Yes
Display Connector:
Status: No Display Connected
After successfully installing the Studio 3 software, I loaded some 1080i footage shot on XD Cam from a Sony EX3
For a while all was well and I began trimming down the footage and crudely assembling a rough firstedit.
Then the footage in the canvas window began to play rather eratically - like it was running at 10 FPS. As yet I have not rendered the video its straight off an external drive into the program
Is this normal? Will thefootage out put OK? Am I doing something wrong?
Any help gladly received
