  • would a Mac mini do

    Posted by Supervideo on August 25, 2006 at 9:49 pm

    I know it may be painfully slow …but I am doing most of my work on a PC and just wanted to get a taste of using the programs in the Final cut studio sweet
    before buying somthing like a Mac pro .So if i were to get a Mac Mini dual core would that at least allow me to run the programs ….final cut ,live type,
    dvd studio pro ect .I dont really need the stuff right now so I figured if i could learn the stuff and when I am ready which wont be for about 6 months than i woould get a Mac pro …
    thanks

    The Mini does not have the required graphics card to run Motion.

    i have the very first Mac Mini that ever came out with 1.25GHz PowerPC G4 & 1GB DDR SDRAM. I am a freelance video editor and work with Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro and Live Type all the time and never had problems nor did they perform that slow. so u will have no problem for sure with the new mac minis with core duo,

    regards,
