  • Shift from CS5 on a Mac to PC?

    Posted by Brad Spinoza on January 17, 2012 at 8:44 pm

    I’ve been running PP CS5 on a Macbook pro, but my editing demands now require a workstation. I’m very reluctant to sink money into a Mac Pro, since the product hasn’t had a refresh in years and I have no idea what Apple will do next. This decision needs to be made within a month.

    I’m considering a Rain running Win 7 Pro as my new PP workstation and was wondering if anybody else had gone from a Mac to a PC with PP. Any issues I should keep in mind? I read Richard Harrington’s excellent article (Free Your Mind) on the subject, and was wondering if the user experience really is identical on both platforms.

    I´ve worked in PP in both, a Mac and a PC, and my impression is that it runs better in a PC. I´ve noticed that the program has more effects and transitions in the pc version. I´ve noticed too that there are some filters like the Crop effect than can be fully controled directly with mouse in the program monitor in pc version but not in the mac one. Perhaps there are some more differences unknown to me, but my experience is that pc version has more functionalities.
