iMac VS Surface Studio

“Who said anything about using a touch screen for video editing? You folks keep mentioning video editing as opposed to Illustrator and Photoshop.”
Yes it’s odd that, people talking about editing, on a video editing forum 🙂

Bingo.

The title of the thread is surface studio pro vs iMac. One hasn’t got a touchscreen and one has a 5k display and more power for video editing. They are not the same in any way. Why not compare the iPad Pro and the surface studio? For graphic designers the pen and drawing functions of the iPad Pro are fantastic.

Did you mean the Surface Pro? The iPad Pro and the Surface Studio are about as different as the iPad is from the iMac.

“People talking about video editing in this forum is not odd. People only mentioning video editing when talking about the Surface Studio on this thread is odd because for many people graphic design/photo editing software is needed. Having said that people have posted about Affinity and Pixelmator. Are those video editing programs? Do you edit videos with Pixelmator Pro? Obviously people discuss more than just video editing in this forum.

I don’t think they are comparable. A certain person on this thread think OS X and Windows 10 are are the same but they are not. OS X lacks touch screen support and a mobile mode. I posted about the Surface Studio because Apple has nothing to compete with the Surface Studio when using graphic design software. Keep in mind in another thread they are discussing Affinity and Pixelmator Pro. Those program will probably benefit from the features of the Surface Studio as opposed to an iMac. Does it make sense now? It really is not rocket science.

Those discussions usually revolve around how the programs related to the work of video editors. In a FCP forum every thread is going to be discussed from the editors perspective.
I think you might find the discussion you are looking for in the Illustrator or Photoshop forum.

This is not the FCP forum. This is the FCPX or not debate forum where we discuss many different things. I have left a link below to the FCPX forum.

To be honest I don’t see the point.
If you realy need touch & paint buy a Wacom tablet.
10 bit, color confidence, calibration etc.
Okay you’ll end up at 5k or so, but you get a real good system.Spherico

From the OP in that link;
[Oliver Peters] “Seems like a good choice to help round-out an FCPX “suite” of apps.”Discussing the different business models the major NLE makers users has long been a point of interest in this forum, and, as such, a discussion about non-Adobe alternatives to apps commonly used by editors during the process of editing is very topical.
If you want to discuss how hardware performs outside of the context of editing and/or video/film post production then this forum probably isn’t the best place to do it.
