NVidia CUDA gives you a very powerful hardware accelerated playback engine with real-time effects rendering rather than the red-strip & wait to render timeline approach. To CUDA or not to CUDA? That is the question…Īpple’s falling out with NVidia means the graphics GPU accelerated timeline in Premiere Pro CS5 and CS5.5 is OUT on the latest generation of MacBook Pros. If you are on a budget you can get fantastic performance on a PC desktop for 3x less than a MacBook costs and the high end PCs are very high end indeed! Although I will compare PC performance in Premiere at the bottom of this article.
#Adobe premier pro for a mac portable
The screens are second to none in terms of colour and contrast, they are like portable cinema displays, and the unibody construction is far superior to even the best built PC laptop, period. OSX is still the best operating system out there whilst Windows 7 has been a great improvement over Vista but it still lacks the fluidity and focussed design ethic of a Mac. There are other benefits of a MacBook over a cheaper PC laptop which make the extra money justified. Also I am often on the go so I much prefer editing video on a laptop than on a desktop workstation. Now let’s be clear in terms of outright bang for buck, PC desktops (and laptops) offer far more speed but that has always been the case and the Mac platform has never been about bang, rather creativity. How a machine assists creativity can be measured it is just harder to gauge from the specs! For me creativity needs an unhindered workflow, a good display and an intuitive OS. Software wise Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 is king at the moment. There are now a lot of MacBook Pros to choose from and Apple’s falling out with NVidia together with the relative disappointment of FCPX has put a new spin on which machine to buy for video editing.
