    Hello feelow COWs,

    My name is Trent and I’m in my last week of my 1st year studying television and film in Sydney, Australia. Basically because it takes me 3 hours to get to school everyday Ive decided im going to buy an iMac so some days instead of going into school to edit i can edit at home. What i was wondering was what do you guys reccomend in terms of hardware/software for HDV. I will also be working with Final Cut Studio 2 and Adobe CS3/CS4 production suite, i have looked at what apple recommend but maybe there is some tips or tricks you could give me?

    You will want a Macbook Pro.

    Best place to look actually, but make sure you get 4GB of ram on the computer.

    Umm I would be looking to move closer to school. Thats 6 hours of commute each day.

    There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
    Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!
