Hi guys!

Thanks for the reply!

Just realized I’ve miscalculated and 27″ may be out of my budget and might settle for 21.5″ (and in fact, I don’t think I need that big a screen too!)

Then again, I also understand there are limitations to the 21.5″ like how the graphics card is not upgradable. The specs I’m looking at for the 21.5″ is:

3.1GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM – 2x4GB
1TB Fusion Drive
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 512MB

My questions though:

– Will 8GB ram suffice for video editing and rendering? Or is it advisable to upgrade to at least 16GB?

– With regards to Fusion drive, is it necessary?

– Is the base model’s graphic card GT650M enough for video editing/rendering?

Thanks for the advice!

Cheers!

Happened to see this post by chance. Just to check, is there any difference between these two:

– rendering a lossless from AE then taking it into Media Encoder and rendering
– directly importing a .ae file into Media Encoder and rendering it

Much thanks in advanced! 🙂

Hi,

Thanks for the prompt reply and advice. Was really helpful! In fact, it looked so much better than what I had in my mind.

Pardon me for asking this though but what was the purpose of the hold keyframes? I’m assuming it’s to give it a more ‘jerky’ feel?

It worked, thanks so much for your help!
