What do I need in a mac computer to run final cut?

best laptop for film student image

Christian

I am a recent film student grad and want to buy a new mac computer to run final cut. Will a macbook pro intel core duo 2.53 work? Should I stick to buying a desktop instead of a laptop? Will final cut express work until I am able to afford pro? Any information you can provide will help.

Answer
Just get the newest air model. They're 1199.

betochca

Hello im a film student i just enter college but i need a computer for video editing and photo,
i have been searching whats best a pc or mac i see a lot of awesome sony and toshiba laptops that have awesome power and graphics but they have like 3 hours of battery life and macs have like 7 hours i think and the programs that apple has for edition are awesome.
So whats the best option for me a macpro or a pc?

Answer
Definitely a macbook pro!

Mac Pros are expensive, macbook pros are portable and have the most advanced video editing software including iMovie. HOWEVER, if you are going to film school and are there for video editing, you probably will need to make an investment into getting "Final Cut Studio" which costs about $1000 but is the most advanced video editing software on the market. It is created by Apple and is only compatible on macs. Many in hollywood use Final Cut. It is a very important video editing tool.

Best of luck!

I have been a mac user since 1999. Have no regrets. Macs are better all round especially when it comes to creative work.
