SenVa Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 My brother is looking into buying a mac laptop... He was about to buy the MacBook, but he was told that video editing would suffer without a decent video card... Is this true? or will he be fine with the gma950?

DiaboliK Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 final cut pro renders with processor and not video card. just keep that in mind. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41233-gpus-effect-on-video-editing/#findComment-294990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonokti Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 (edited) I know Motion requires a better video card but for FCP or Livetype the GMA950 is fine. The only drawback is that it only have 1 firewire port and you'll eventually have to get an external drive and want to capture to it I personally dont know how well with both items on the same port via a hub.

sMaX Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 The upcoming final cut will just like motion, render via the gpu. Avid does this allready, if they'd only make an universal avid.
