I have a feature length digital film to edit (total footage = 50 hours) and need to purchase an editing system. My budget is $1500 - $1700. I'd like to know your opinions & suggestions regarding a Macintosh 250 gig hd or another comperable brand pc and editing program. I need the most bang for the buck to put out the best product possible. Thanks for your thoughts!!

If you buy a Mac, you should try to get your hands on a copy of Final Cut Pro. That's the software the pros use these days, NOT Premier. i Movie won't have the kinds of editing capabilities that even premier has. If you plan on doing more editing than just this one job, you should buy a mac and use final cut pro...bottomline. It's the industry standard.

A "Mac" is a computer now that they copied our hardware format thoroughly. I actually have considered very present day tests the position a a lot cheap Gateway gadget beat out Apple`s vaunted Mac professional G5 Intel depending , on each and every attempt which includes video-encoding/transcoding. So don`t even get me all started. lets make any Mac seem stupid for much less money because we are able to construct our own and performance the astounding hardware/software help contained in the international. And gaming on Vista is merely surprising. Mac video games? hahaha Macs are strong at padding Steve Jobs economic corporation account ;) bypass Adobe most efficient dude.

i have toyed with premier and it's fine for what it does, but in the end i've used more final cut. it just works better. it's overwhelming when just handed a copy, but the stuff you can do on it is intense. in all truth it works just as well if not easier than any avid editing program and a couple people in the film industry actually use it. i've never used mac imovie.
so premier works... but it's just not as complete as final cut. but if you do get final cut, buy a guide at a bookstore. it'll help you unlock the full potential of the program. good luck.
