Macs and After Effects
Taps I think needs to be played for my laptop. It was PowerBook 500mhz and was good when I first got it. Over time it became regulated to just web surfing, some simple web page editing, and iTunes.
When I first got it I wanted everything to run on it. Final Cut, After Effects, Photoshop, etc.
Today I know a little better I don’t really use all of these things in my laptop sessions.
I was wondering would a new MacBook (not MacBook Pro) be able to run After Effects 7, DVD studio Pro, and Photoshop decently on it? I don’t plan on doing any video editing like Final Cut, but DVD scripting and not too complex AE work.
I want to hold out till after Macworld ’07 if I can.
Thanks for any advise. -

I would max out on the memory upgrade, but it should run that software fine once Adobe gets around to making universal versions of it. Currently all of the Adobe software has to run under emulation on the intel macs because Adobe isn’t releasing universal versions until their next round of upgrades. So if you are planning on using a lot of Adobe software, and can afford to wait a little bit, I would hold out on buying a new mac until the universal versions are released. CS3 is supposed to be coming out early 2007. I don’t know when the next version of AE is coming out universal. Anyone else know that?
