- Late '09 iMac; Late '11 MBAir, 2017 iMac from ****!
Adric and Ivan! UPDATE!!!!!
Number one, I just ordered 16 GB of new memory from OWC on Monday and hopefully it will arrive late this week. That's the max I can use on my late 2009 model so I am going for it.
I just shot some video the other night (I attached the Go Pro to a radio controlled blimp I fly for our local ECHL hockey team) and brought it home and for some reason unbeknownst to me, the 1080 res at 30 frames per second ran just FINE on the iMac. !^&^#&^!!1!!
I have not done any editing of it yet..I am still trying to determine if I need to convert it (from its native mp4 format) to something else before I start cutting, deleting, adding clips, etc. I still haven't found a definite solution to that yet but am still searching. There is a forum I found, called CreativeCow.net that may be a place too for me to find some answers...but those guys really speak in quite another language! I had NO idea this video editing was this 'deep and somewhat convoluted". I haven't asked any questions there yet....still searching around the site...but I may just put my hat in my hand and ask them if I should convert before editing.
I want to learn how to do it, and do it well, so I am going to persevere. I keep looking here too but have yet to find out what to do specifically for this Adobe Premier Elements proggie.
I am also going through the tutorials on the Adobe site, overall quite helpful and also located a "manual" of sorts for the program too....and that should help too.
I want to thank you two again (and you too, chase-m and pwfletcher-who suggested new drivers to look for).
I will keep looking and learning this program....and will certainly keep an eye out here on this forum too...it's in my Top Sites list.
Cheers to all!
