  • New final cut & cs5 editing rig for mac

    Posted by Will Littlefield on January 25, 2011 at 2:36 am

    Hey

    I’m getting a new rig for final cut, apple motion, and the adobe cs5 master collection for mac.

    I am getting a 27in mac but I do not know what configuration is best suited to editing. The things I need to know are…

    How to setup a dual screen system for editing?

    What wacom tablet is best suited for this purpose & how do i set it up?

    What extra equipment do I ewqire to do the dual screen setup and use the wacom tablet?

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thanks
    Will

    There’s probably a lot here that you’re not saying that will dictate some answers by others, but I can say that if you’re going to be using any of the Adobe video tools (After Effects and Premiere Pro), you’ll want to load up on memory for your imac. 8GB is okay, 16 is better. There’s lots of threads on the web about this.

    Wacom tablets – what works for you? I’ve had a bunch but like the small one when I’m using a tablet. Others feel differently.

    Good luck and have fun.
