  • Any editors been using Sony Vegas on Mac for 2 years or more?

    Posted by Jonathan Thomas on February 27, 2011 at 7:24 pm

    Has any editors been using Sony Vegas on Mac for two years or more? If so, how has your experience been? Apple is coming out with the new Mac Book Pro. I am looking forward to upgrade to a notebook and tower.

    I am weighing all options.

    Thanks:)

    [Jonathan Thomas] “Apple is coming out with the new Mac Book Pro. I am looking forward to upgrade to a notebook and tower.”

    The unfortunate thing that I have seen is that Apple is using ATI cards in their new MacBook Pro’s and Mac Pro towers and software like Sony Vegas and Adobe Creative Suite CS5 works with NVIDIA CUDA cards for GPU acceleration. So a MacBook or Mac Pro tower with an ATI card doesn’t seem like a wise investment to me.

    Does this make Vegas a bad option or do you just loose your GPU rendering acceleration?

    No, it does not make Vegas a bad option because you only loose AVC acceleration at the present time, but it makes the Mac a bad options because NOBODY supports ATI. NVIDIA CUDA is the clear winner in GPU acceleration among NLE vendors. So if you plan on using After Effects or any other GPU accelerated application, you want an NVIDIA graphics card with CUDA.
