  What do I need to run Vegas 10 on a MacBook? Gotta do some editing on the road.

  Thanks.

  It is no easy task but possible, and in my opinion not so efficient but will work. Must be Macbook with intel processor

  first you need to set up a partition on the hard drive using boot camp (comes with your MAC OS disk) and load xp or vista or win 7. (using windows within the MAC OS is NOT efficient – not for video editing – using “parallels” ect….)

  If you use xp 32 bit you cannot take advantage of all the ram in MAC book Pro

  I have used both Vista Ultimate 64 and Win 7 64 in a macbook pro. (read concerning your mac and MAC OS what version windows the boot camp will support) because the bootcamp has your windows drivers with it

  Then use it as a dual boot system – boot in win load your vegas

  Sounds more trouble than it’s worth.

  How do you like your EX1?

  love them had no problems
  do a lot of chromakey, so shoot in 1920×1080 30P – great quality – not easy on computer processor though – 720p edits easier but does not chroma near as well. Good little view finder screen also. and they work with RAw hoodman adpters and SD cards so economical rather than the Sony SxS card that are megabucks – never lost any footage with adapters useing them for 2 years

  Don, your not using Vegas to Chromakey are you? CS5 has Ultrakey in Premiere and Keylight in After Effects. They’re far superior than the Chromakey effect in Vegas.

  Danny have not used Pre Pro just learning it and never been in AE, but am going to learn it. I have been using New Blue chroma in vegas. I have a project I just finished in Vegas 11, but cant get it to render out!@$!@$#&%&^^&%, will not use V11 again – maybe in a few months after updates? – back to V10
