Lastly, I would not recommend purchasing a new MacBook Pro in the next monthвЂ“updates are right around the corner. This also brings up the issue of color-balancing your displays so that red really is red, blue is blue and green is greenвЂ¦ but that is another issue entirely. At the very least get a secondary display to hook into when doing Color work. If you think you are going to do a lot of Color work on your films, then consider getting the 17-inch MacBook ProвЂ“15-inches is really too small.

It is a very powerful program, and was designed to run on 2 displays. If you are going to use Motion, do yourself a favor and bite the bullet now by getting the faster computer/GPU combo.Д¬olor likewise uses your GPU for rendering, and is another beast altogether. Motion uses your GPU (graphics processing unit (your video card)) to process real time 2D and 3D motion graphics. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the 15-inch 2.8 GHz MacBook Pro with the available video card NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT with 512MB. If ALL you are going to do is edit video, then you can get by with a much slower machine however, if you think you may dabble or even plunge into Motion and Color, then you NEED the faster graphics cards with more video RAM. I recommend getting the fastest machine you can afford, and make sure it has at least 4GB of RAM (memory). HereвЂ™s what they suggestedвЂ¦ДЇor starters, here is a useful link to the Final Cut Studio System Requirements (and for a good post-production experience, do not simply go with the minimum possible specs):

YouвЂ™re outside of my expertise with this one, but fortunately IвЂ™m part of a great professional educational consortium here in Colorado called Boulder Digital Arts, so I sent your question along to a couple of the video editing instructors, Ethan Benninger of Bonefire Films, who teaches the Final Cut classes, and Brendan Boykin, a Certified Master Trainer for Apple Pro Video and head of Creek Mountain Media.
