Just got Media Composer up and running today. It works just fine so far. I’m going to play with some HD material later and let you know how it goes.

An update:
I did a little research* about the GMA 950 card that ships with the Mac Mini. Apparently because the memory on the graphics card is shared with the main memory it will automatically allocate more RAM to the video card if the software running requires it. The amount of this allocation is reflective of the amount of memory you have in the computer. Because my Mini will have 2GB of RAM, it can allocate up to 256MB on the graphics card. Pretty neat stuff. I’m interested to see how this works out.

Really? Does the Media Composer really require that much power? I mean I’m not editing any uncompressed material or anything. I could see maybe some more advanced effects filters not being operational and maybe the lack of some real time effects but not run at all? Geez. I’m gonna try anyway. If it doesn’t work I have 14 days to take the computer back and spend a little more on the iMac equivalent. I’ll report my results here.

I didn’t shoot the footage and don’t have access to the camera anymore. The HDV footage is using the Apple Intermediate Codec at 720p resolution and runs at 24fps in the Quicktime player. I need to convert the footage to DVCPROHD so that it runs at 23.98 properly without messing anything up. Any suggestions?
