New Mac Pro vs. PC Workstation for Premiere
-
A couple of years ago, when I was furious with Apple, and felt like they were leaving us behind, I helped steer a client towards a ProMax One (monster PC built for pro video). The rendering performance in AE was predictably amazing. However, this was a small shop that has always been Mac-only, and no one really wanted to be a Windows administrator. We had all sorts of issues, but many of them stemmed from the fact that they have over 100 TB of footage and projects on Mac-formatted external drives, with no affordable (for them) solution to put all of that media onto Windows-compatible storage. We used MacDrive to mount those drives, but it was EXTREMELY problematic, with no real solutions offered. In the end for these and other reasons, everyone hated the machine, and they got rid of it and bought another Mac Pro. Worth considering.

There sadly is a lot to dislike as well.

Walter, does that work with image sequences or just video files?
