[Roland R. Kahlenberg] “Digital Tutors looks like they have a few advanced tuts.”
Thanks! I had never heard of them. Looks like they have quite a selection of tutorials ranging across techniques. A little pricier than the others, but maybe they back that up with higher quality. I’ll definitely dig into them some more.

[Dave LaRonde] “I wonder if Total Training still makes stuff for AE? It’s worth a look.”
Thanks for the recommendation Dave. Total Training does offer an AE CS6 course, but it looks like just a single video about the new features and techniques in that version, as opposed to a series of individual tutorials outlining how to achieve different effects and so forth. The price is a little steep if that’s indeed the case, compared to tuts+ and lynda…

Thanks for the link. They need to hire a user experience designer to overhaul that site though, yikes. 🙂

[Walter Soyka] “An iMac would not be my first choice, but given the constraints you’ve mentioned I think it’s reasonable.”
Thanks. So I’ll see render times shrink? 😉

[Walter Soyka] “You want more RAM.”
Sorry, forgot to mention that I will be upgrading the RAM after purchasing the machine (company can get RAM cheaper elsewhere than Apple!).
So assuming I upgrade the RAM significantly, you approve of the configuration?

OK, here is what I’ve been approved for. PLEASE tell me this will significantly improve my performance and reduce render times relative to my MacBook Pro……
3.5GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM – 2X4GB [ *** will upgrade after delivery *** ]
1TB Flash Storage
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4GB GDDR5 -
[Darby Edelen] “I do still like the Unix underpinnings of OS X but I absolutely hate all of the new consumer facing features. The App store, for example. It’s the iOS-ification of the OS that bothers me.”
All part of the slow but inevitable march toward a tablet-centric world, my friend.

[EricBowen] “Cant do that on a new Imac I don’t believe.”
That’s unfortunate.

[EricBowen] “Adobe definitely doesn’t run smoother on OSX 10.9 than Windows right now. The bug/problem threads alone in the forums is enough to show that.”
OSX 10.8 😉

[EricBowen] “Just understand there is a performance loss with applications such as AE with the options Mac has right now. That translates into paying more for less.”
I understand, but I don’t hold the purse strings or sign the deals with our hardware partners, so that’s really a moot point for me. And again, AE is only a fraction of what I do in my current role. And I personally find the other Adobe applications run much smoother on Mac than they do on PC, but I don’t have technical specs to back that up.
