[QUOTE="Nethfel, post: 1016952, member: 89124"] Final Cut Studio will have no problems except for a couple of things that you may never even need. ie: Color: For rendering of 4K files and DPX: a graphics card with at least 512MB of VRAM Here's a quote from Apples site about working with 4:4:4 4K color files: Unless you need that particular functionality, you should be more then happy with FCS on that MBP. Until I sold it two nights ago, I used FCS on a late '08 aluminum Macbook editing HD footage and it worked wonderfully (it would have worked better if I had firewire, as I had to use a USB drive for scratch which is not the desired media for a scratch folder - but that MacbookPro you referenced has a FW800 interface so you can easily use an external FW800 drive for your scratch disks) [/QUOTE]
