Why would it be sheer hell?
I use a wacom tablet for everything and don’t have a problem.
I do get this ‘sticking’ effect occasionally in Adobe products though, which does become sheer hell, but other than that I can use it as well, if not better than a mouse.

Doh! If only I’d seen this before I’d start rending out the Object Buffer again as it’s own sequence as advised!
I disabled everything else and thought that it would be enough to make it a quick render but it’s evident that it’s done as you mentioned and still rendered all the lighting. I’ll know for next time at least although I’ll also remember to not do a multi-layered file!
Thanks guys!

Very sorry to hear that.
These things always take longer than you’d like even in good health.
I hope you find a solution to your condition and keep up the great work!

No worries. If it’s not for you then that’s your prerogative but it would be great to see something new.
Like I said, great forums, just a bit clunky to navigate.

The question is simply – do you need the extra processing power or not?
You buy what you need for the job, simple.
If you’re just editing standard HD footage (1080p max) and only doing relatively low intensive processing effects then a top of the range iMac is absolutely fine which is what I worked on for a while.
However, as I progressed as an editor and motiongraphics designer I found myself working on 3D jobs and working with 4k footage (4 times the size of HD and more than 4 times the file size).
It quickly became clear the iMac couldn’t cope with the jobs I was working on and even now my MacPro needs upgrading to cope.
If you don’t anticipate working on anything over standard HD or doing any 3D rendering then just get the latest iMac but if you think you might work with 4K footage or do some 3D rendering then I’d hold out for the new batch of MacPros to come out with the new intel processors and hopefully thunderbolt compatibility.
