post production equipment

Search the Final Cut Pro Forum. There are many posts on this subject. Also, if you are not expert when it comes to post workflows and gear to facilitate them, look for a consultant or re-seller to keep you on the right track.

Thanks a lot John!

I am going to check in that forum. For the moment I completed a personal list:

Hardware
Mac Pro
AJA Kona

Software
3DS Max
Final Cut Pro
Logic Pro
Houdini 10

However, I will discuss there what I need for having a right workstation.

Thank you again!

Don’t forget you’ll need a broadcast monitor, a fast RAID and sound system (mixer & speakers). Also, tape machines for I/O if various producers will be using your facility.
