  Networking macs for editing

  Posted by Jake Ember on September 12, 2011 at 7:56 pm

  Hi,
  I currently have a 21.5 inch intel core 2 duo iMac and just bought a new 27 inch core i5. I’ve done some research and have yet to find a solution for this. I was wondering if there was a way to connect the old iMac and the new iMac so that I could use the 21.5 inch as a second display, but also access the hard drive and extra processing power. I have a thunderbolt cable but the older iMac has only a mini display port so I wouldn’t be able to transfer data through that cable (as far as I’m aware).

  I’ll be using this for Premiere Pro and after effects and there’s a possibility I’ll be moving back to final cut in the future.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance!

  You can network them together and share files, but you aren’t going to get them sharing displays, or tag-teaming render jobs without unnecessary complications.
