well awesome, I’ll test two HD streams with NeoScene.. how would you do that? but yes I’ll give it a try and let you know hopefully

OK, well I’ll try to run boot camp sometime today and see how vegas movie studio runs , that’s the one I have but yes. . .
but what I know is, that when I put the files into final cut express it converts them into apples format, and so that takes about … 5 minutes for about 10 minutes of video maybe? and then after that it’s all great and so if I edit a video on it It plays back so smoothly.. no lag.. and I ran about 3 hd video files on top of eachother on a track like moved around and shrunken, and that also doesn’t lag.. but this is after they are the right formats it slightly drops the frame rate if they are not “rendered” final cut works way differently
ok so i’ll run it on boot camp.. is there any thing specifically you want me to test?

your welcome! I hope you like it, if you get one, but the 13 inch has 2.66 ghz now I think, but the i5 is much more powerfull but another great factor is the ram, with 4gb it runs very smoothly. what system do you currently use? and I use final cut express for 200 $ it’s pretty nice, once you get the hang of it.

ok awesome! i hope this works, I’ll try making it the better codec.. but i don’t think final cut express has that.. i should get pro some time ..
-
well, on the actual timeline it appears with no problems at all, but I have it set to apple intermediate codec 720p , it doesn’t have a match setting.
-
yes, and make sure your project settings are a good quality 720p is good. but hope it works! and if you ever get a chance you should upgrade your ram, if possible
-
yes, that would help unless you are filming with a square aspect ratio on the camera (4:3) then you should crop
-
what are your dimensions? from your camera? and when you export, and also on youtube, this may help you can put this in the tags, that crops or stretches it type yt:crop=16:9 or yt:stretch=16:9 and it should look ok
-
this may or may not help you, but you could have too much ram, and vegas has no way of using it all. what type of files are you editing?

i’ve had the macbook pro 15″ i5 for a while now.. .and there is no lag whatsoever with final cut, or anything.. I edit with avchd, and when I edit those I don’t use the normal quality on the camera I use like the highest setting, and it still runs sweetly, you could just switch over to mac editing.. haha but either way it’s an excellent choice, and the battery is about 8 hours without doing high rendering or exporting so hopefully it works out for you.. if you want the i7 for slightly faster speed you could get it, but the i5 is definitely a good choice, the 2.4 ghz is what I have. but you might want to try one out first or something, ask me any questions about it, if you want.
