Yes, but only if you meet these criteria
So Apple has rolled out their latest round of iMacs. I recently finally updated my trusty black MacBook to Snow Leopard, and disappointed myself when I’d forgotten that I can’t run the latest Final Cut Pro on it at ALL. So revisiting these iMacs, how are they for running the Final Cut Studio suite? And beyond can they, should you consider it as an editing platform?
Apple rolled out new iMacs today - short version - OK for video editors? Yes, but ONLY if the following criteria are met:
-only editing file based formats - not tape*
-don’t need professional calibrated video output for preview or recording to tape*
-don’t need additional high speed storage (anything faster than FW800)
-don’t need other card based capabilities
Read on after the jump for all the specs, options, my buying recommendations, and what iMacs are suitable for what editing operations.
