Eric – thanks so much for the information! I’m needing to buy a MacBook Pro in the next couple of weeks, but I really need Colorista II and Premiere Pro to play nice together.

So let me make sure I’m understanding this right – does Colorista II work in Premiere Pro CS5.5? Specifically on a Mac?

I’m in a similar position as Erik in that I need to find an NLE solution in this new post-FCP world, but Colorista II is a HUGE part of my workflow. I want Premiere Pro CS5.5 to be my solution moving forward, but if Colorista II doesn’t work that’s going to be a huge problem.

Can anyone address this???

Thanks for the feedback. I agree that the specks on the Lenovo are clearly superior. My only hesitation comes from my slight preference for Macs over PCs.

Does anyone know whether Premiere inherently runs better on the Mac OS, or is superior on Windows 7?

Thanks so much for the thread. I’m at the point where I’m about to drop a chunk of my own money on a new editing laptop and I’m struggling with which direction to go. I was planning on buying a new MacBook Pro to run FCP, but we all know how that fiasco’s turning out…

I’ve been using Premiere over past few weeks and am really impressed with how it’s evolved. So my question is this: is it better to stay Mac or go Windows for Premiere/After Effects CS5.5?

Here are the two machines I’m considering –

Macbook Pro, 2.2GHz Quad-core Intel i7, 8GB ram, 500GB-7200rpm drive, AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1GB graphics card

OR

Lenovo W520, 2.3GHz Quad-core Intel i7, 16GB ram, 500-7200rpm drive, NVIDIA Quadro 2000M 2GB graphics card

They’re about the same money, so to me what’s most important is total performance/experience. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

I’m actually interested in Karen’s original question. I’ve been a Vegas guy for years, but I just took a job where I have to use FCP. Is there any way to map the Zoom In/Out On Playhead functions to the scroll wheel of a mouse?

I really miss this functionality (and a lot else) from Vegas . . .
