Thanks!
At the 11th hour (yesterday) I went with a 24″ iMac. Just couldn’t pass up the large screen for actually a little less than the laptop. Just set it up today and it is very powerful compared to my older G5 Pro Tower. I have a 12″ macbook that’ll have to do for any traveling I’ll do. -

Hi.
Standard right now but I will need to move into HD soon I suspect.
Is it just file size issues or is there some problem with working in HD on the Macbook Pro?
I usually render out an uncompressed version as my final piece. 2-5 minutes = 8-10 gig.
Imported footage can usually be saved as high quality / low loss compressed then brought into my project. -
Thanks RJ.
Seems a lot of people agree with your opinion that the Macbook Pro can handle most work.
I wonder what the ‘limit’ is. If I can create a 3D animation in Maya, do a 3 minute affects clip in AE or edit a 30 min piece and work on large Photoshop stuff I’ll be set. -
I know..I’ve suggested that to every friggin client who insist on using windows.

Jerry,
Thanks. (I’d use quicktime but all thier laptops are windows and they won’t use QT player!)I do have Flip4Mac installed. But don’t know what steps to take.
If I go to
EXPORT
USING QUICKTIME CONVERSION
my pull down gives me the Windows Media format choice and then in the options
if I choose:
Video-WMV Standard-One Pass variable Rate-Quality 100-Size 720×480-Rate 30
Audio-WMA Satndard-One Pass variable-44 Stereoit renders the video fine but no audio
and it stops after rendering only 29 seconds. I have 400 gigs available.?

Andrew,
Thanks for your advice. I am trying to keep this at 640 x 396 (if playback allows)
I am giving the sor3 with data rate of 1000 a try right now.Are you familiar with playing QT sor3 movies on Windows. I am thinking the laptops playing this will need QT WITH sor 3 right?
Windows Media won’t play it right?Brian

Rich,
Thanks for your advice. So if I render out my AE project as a QT Photo-Jpeg MOVIE
then I can import that into Flip4Mac WMV Studio then render the resulting movie as a Windows Media Video file?Is that right? That SHOULD play well on a Windows laptop from a CD?
The piece is 3 minutes long and needs to be 640 x 360 with AUDIO.
