Editing film with the iMac

Good day everyone,

I do a lot of professional editing and I did and I was wondering if anyone has a good understanding about the Intel i5 2.8 GHZ, 8 GB, 1 TB iMac to see if who will be movie star?

Otherwise, any recommendation on an iMac for a fast processing and rendering?

Thank you!

An iMac of such as you have selected is not a choice good iMac for a professional editing. It is simply low-power and was never designed for the type of work you are proposing.  If you are a professional editor, there is a good chance that you are going to use Final Cut Pro X. If this is the case, I'd recommend posting your question in the FCP forum, so you are in touch with other professionals in the use of the same and similar applications. You can find this forum by clicking on Final Cut Pro X

Another option is to simply visit your Apple store and talk to one of the partners, and they can help you design a system that fits your needs.

    It will never be updated for InDesign CS6. This has been discussed to death. Adobe updated the CS6 applications that she could update. Illustrator and Photoshop come to mind, so your conspiracy theory is incorrect.

    InDesign should be re-written from scratch due to the difference in the way it was designed.

    Your choice is to live with it or move to creative cloud.

  • How guys do you overcome (Mac Book and iMac) screen sizes with disabilities when creating scrolling effects, can work the same on both screens when you started with the iMac?

    How guys do you overcome (Mac Book and iMac) screen sizes with disabilities when creating scrolling effects, can work the same on both screens when you started with the iMac?

    Technically, since it's the same effect with the same settings, it works on both sizes. However, you need to test both is to decide if it will appear visually correct on both screens or not. On screens more wider/taller objects can appear earlier on the screen, it is advised to test again on both screens.

  • New user with the iMac and MacBook Pro...

    I just ordered Lightroom 3, and while I'm waiting for delivery, I did the research so that I set up correctly from the start.  My husband and I are amateur photographers, not professionals.  So, we have a lot of pictures, but not thousands.  I take most of the photos.  I do not use RAW, but sometimes my husband does.  We use Photoshop Elements 8 to edition and iPhoto to produce books, export to our iPad, etc..  We have 2 computers... an iMac and a MacBook Pro.   All the reading I've done, I think I should install the Lightroom Catalog to the shared drive on our iMac.  All photos that we can live on this share drive (when importing we can mark with our own name so that we can each make a collection of our own photos).  As I understand it, each of us could use our own space on the iMac's Lightroom to access this library shared, to make our own edits, etc.

    First question... is what I said above correct and it seems like the best way to organize?

    Second question... it is now quite easy to access my files from my MacBook on our home network bridge.  It will be easy to access files via Lightroom when they live on the iMac but I want to use the MacBook instead?

    No help to you all, experts out there would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you, Cindy

    Well, wireless will be /technically/ work. Because the wireless network connection simply provides a conduit through which is an extra layer of stuff system of sent files (probably AFP or SMBFS or something) for you give access to remote files and directories, you can see the performance is not acceptable.

    Some people report performance ok with remote catalogues and managed files, but many have catalog locally, with the managed pictures on drive accessible via a protocol of remote files.  Despite this, I suspect that some of these people are connected via gigabit ethernet.

    You will find that the network connection or the remote file system protocol may bring slow unreasonable things.

    Another restriction is that, under the right circumstances, Lr will change behavior to prevent you from using it in network. I forgot the exact circumstances in which this happens (I think it was reported that in other threads). I remember that it is limited to the import dialog. It will probably cause problems for you since the paths you use will probably be impossible to distinguish from local paths, but I wanted to mention it just in case.

  • Notes on the iPhone (iCloud) synchronize with the iMac

    I enter notes in my iphone (ios 9.3.5) 6s and they don't synchronize with my imac (OS 10.10.5).

    Syncing seems to have stopped sometimes last month, but can't think of anything that is changed.

    How can I do start sync again.

    Meanwhile, Notes, which also do not appear on Apple Watch, are a bit useless.

    Right now, my only solution is to put everything in reminders - which synchronizes.

    Hi nowsthetime,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you enter on your 6s notes iPhone will not sync to your iMac. I synchronize my Notes on both devices too, so I know that it is very convenient to be able to see them on everyone when they arrive. I want to help you get your synchronization again.

    What I advise is to ensure that all devices have the latest versions of software installed. It is always important to ensure that the software is updated on each device, because it helps them to communicate with one another better.

    First of all, make sure that you have current backups of your important data on both devices. These articles will help:
    The backup of your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac

    Then, copy the following items to update the software on each device:
    The iOS on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software update Update the software on your Mac

    Once you have saved and updated the software on each device, please test again and see if your Notes Sync now.

    Also, I share with you solutions third-party notes for Apple Watch that you can download from the App Store:

  • Is it possible to sync with Macbook Pro with the iMac at home? If so, how?

    Most of the time, I need to exchange the data in my folder of documents between the iMac and Macbook Pro. I use a pen drive to do. I need to know if this Exchange is possible without the need of USB? both iMac and Macbook pro are on the same network.

    Verdier - saab

    Yes - you can use a cloud like iCloud service or OneDrive who will be the reflection of your files - in other words - iCloud exists as folder on your devices as well as on the Apple servers. For files that work you on the MBP are synced with the Apple servers and also update on your iMac, when both machines are on and connected to the network - oh-you don't have to be connected to the same network - as long as the two devices are connected to the internet - the update will happen

  • What are the best bluetooth wireless speakers to use with the iMac

    I have the desktop iMac 27 in. on which I have my iTunes.  I want to buy some speakers for the room which will connect to the iMac's wireless.  Someone at - it a system like this to recommend.  I looked the Sonos speakers that run through wi - fy - but don't know if that's what I need.  Any input would be appreciated.

    Speakers are a very personal choice. Better would be those that you love the most. Which may be different from someone else.

    Excellent fact Bose pregnant BT that work with your iMac, I like them a bit. However, some say that they can be too bass-ey.

    You must listen to the speakers to find the ones you want to use.

    Try looking at Bose or Harman Kardon to start. Any pregnant BT should work with your iMac

  • HP deskjet 5650 color with the IMac use

    Hope you can help - tried to install the new driver to activate my printer to print in color when it is connected to the new Imac.  Operating system is OS X Maverick and is not in the drop-down options on the HP website.  My printer is really too old to be compatible (printed in color) with my imac?  It prints fine in black and white, but just not in full colour.  Have checked the settings and connected a laptop to the same printer and print in color perfectly fine... Tried to download driver OS X but it downloaded then could not open with error message on screen: cannot open the OS X HP Inkjet Installer application because the Power PC applications are no longer supported.

    Any ideas to help me please?  Thank you very much...

    Hi BBHRJane,

    Apple offers third-party software for scanners and printers by using the software update. To set up your printer or scanner, just connect it to your Mac. If the software is needed and available, OS X automatically downloads and installs.

    This article is a comprehensive list of the models currently supported for printer and scanner and associated software provided by third-party vendors as of November 14, 2013. OS X: printer and scanner software available for download.

    The Deskjet 5650 isn't on the list. Although I prefer not to be the bearer of bad news, the fact of the matter is, the Deskjet 5650 does not have a compatible driver to work with 10.9.

    On a positive note, you could call HP. HP may be able to offer a more recent model, which is compatible for a cost reduced. The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for the Canada and US or you can Contact HP worldwide.< click="" here="" and="" select="" your="">

  • Can I replace the iMac 2013 with the iMac of retina of 2015?

    I broke my iMac, I bought 3 weeks before the iMac that 4 K was released. Yesterday I have brung up to the Apple Store and fixed, but today, Apple told me to replace it. Here are the specs:

    iMac 21.5 "1080 p 2.9 GHz Quad Core, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB hard end of 2013

    I intend to buy the iMac 21.5 "4K retina because it will be vintage on October 13, 2020.
