What purchasing options

you want advice for which system for fcpx

Hello.
I've been editing using a macbook pro (13-inch 2011 with ssd 16 GB ram external monitor) to edit with cs6 for some time.

I'll order a new Imac next month. Mainly to the test of the future. I am a photographer and filmmaker and want to be able to change HD and 4 k in FCPX.  I also use CS6 for existing projects until I learn FCPX

Money is of course limited. I am considering a refurbished 27 inch imac, retina 2015 with the video card of 4 GB and 2 TB drive of fusion. I intend to add two 8 gig ram-chips or if money allows two 16 gig chips.
I plan to order two 240 GB ssd usb drives 3 and their raid for a drive utility disc scratch.

I have a nas backup disk and fw800 disks for storage and backup. the plan is to use the ssd raid while working on a project then transfer it to the other drives for storage and backup.

Thus, questions...
is the video card of 4 GB with a value of extra money or not?
a bare raid ssd is put in place a good idea for the drive working?
The amount of ram is enough? keep the stock 2 x 4; Add 2 x 8 or spend more and go 2 x 16?
any other tips or tricks please?

my understanding is my old cs6 sequels don't even use the card of higher end graphic on mac, is that correct?

not a single bit of advice from the community?
It is a huge investment for me. I want to spend my money.

  • What upgrade options are available for windows 7. ? Please guys help me I want to know,

    Hellou guys... am a student and I have worked in the process of upgrading to Windows 7, is seeking for your help (to find out what upgrade options are available for windows 7?)

    Hello

    upgrade to windows 8.1 and windows 10 available

  • Storage of large Volumes... Whats my options.

    Hello

    OK, so my installation is an HP C7000 Enclosure of blade with 8 BL460 connected via two SAS controllers 3 HP msa2000sas storage matrices each with 12 1 TB disks mounted.

    We have been invited to create a couple of volumes 8TB for use as a file on a file server shares (Windows server 2008 under vmware esx 4). The problem comes because I have a backup server on the network aswell (Windows server 2008 not under vmware) which has a direct connection to a SAS storage arrays, and the intention is that this server will also have access to significant volumes so it can generate data on live band of the storage array, instead of drag anywhere in the network of the file server.

    For now, I created a TB 8 VDisk and he filled one Volume 8 of TB and presented as a single LUN.

    If the file server has not been installed under VMWare I guess the 8TB LUN would have appeared to Windows Server 2008 without problems I could format as a single NTFS partition I'm going and it seems to me also the backup server as a 8 TB NTFS volume.

    My file server sits under VMWare ESX 4 as expected, he sees not the LUN 8TB.

    so. Whats my options.

    Create volumes of 8x1TB set in the vdisk 8TB and present them as 8xRDMs for Windows. If I use Windows to together in a dynamic volume 8TB stripe, running outside vmware backup server won't have much sense of these is it? (or is it?)

    Outside to my server to backup under VMWare and then using extensions to create disc vmware vmfs 8TB off 8x1TB LUN that would be visible to two independent vmware on separate ESX hosts machines, I don't see what I can do.

    Are there ways to get around this limit of 2 TB. It seems crazy that we are limited to 2 TB these days. His will not be too long before you have individual drives that are already too big for vmware.

    You have a hard line to hoe here.  I think I can come 2 solutions for you, but I don't know that or the other will work.  First of all, there is no way around the 2 TB limit currently imposed in VMware, as has been said.  So, how do we pretend?

    (1) I would recommend covering rather than the distribution on the disk that you create in Windows.  This is expected to allow it to be presented to another system, but I have not tested it myself.  I think that you need to make a 'dynamic' record to do, using GPT instead of MBR.

    (2) NTFS is NOT a cluster file system.  You cannot present a volume of 2 systems of access R/W at the same time without making these systems in a cluster.  The best idea here is to use a base on the MSA SAN snapshot (I think they just licensed to support).  Otherwise, you're stuck with the backup in network for RDM.

    (2A) If you use VMDK VMFS to your drives, then you can always make backups based on the snapshot direct drive with VCB or an another VMFS - / VMDK oriented tool.  In this case, you won't have the overhead of storing the snapshot by itself, but should always be considered Colocation the VMDK snapshot on your system VMFS file.  In this case, I would start by 5 2 TB LUN with VMDK 1.6 to each.  I think that this would provide a sufficient margin for discs of snapshots, but you must take into account your environment on this setting.

    Hello world

    We are looking to buy the Collection of Design Standard for our company.

    We would need about 3/4 computers, but that number could increase.

    What is the best options for this purchase? I know you can buy one off or pay monthly but must be purchased for each computer or allows us to put it on a number of computers?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you very much

    Tom

    You probably want to look into a form of volume license.

    Adobe licensing Web site. Serial numbers | Orders | Accounts

    You can buy a license (CS6) version, but it's the latest version under license to be issued by Adobe.

    Creative Suite 6

    Something more recent than that which is available only by subscription... and there is no Standard Design Suite available in that.  You can get a full membership, which would probably all applications of DS and more.  Find out business plans that are offered.

  • Help! What other option I have other then using thunderbolt connection to connect the VGA monitor?

    Hello

    I really hope someone is able to help and give me cheaper workaround here. I am currently using the single port thunderbolt that I have on my Mac mini to connect my VGA monitor (with mini display port to VGA). However, I would use an audio interface of stroke of lightning and therefore need to try to free this port so you can connect it.  What are my options here (other then buying a new monitor?) are there adapters that I might be able to use?

  • My iPhone 4S has a cracked screen. I don't think Apple have more of them in stock to replace by out-of-coverage option. No idea what my options are and how much it would cost me?

    Well, basically I cracked the screen on my iPhone 4S. But two years, worked very well. Now, I am faced with a dilemma. Does anyone know if Apple will replace it by their release of the guarantee option? And if Apple does more in stock iPhone 4s, which are going to be my options going forward and how much will I have to pay?

    If the Apple store has is with them, they should be able to change

    However, if this is not available the only option you have is to fix by yourself in a mobile store

    It would cost around $45 à $55 the entire screen needs to be replaced with screen

  • Graphic amplifier purchase options

    So I'm on screen for the customization of Alienware 13 and I want a graphic amplifier to come with her. I clicked on the little bubble next to the amplifier of graphics option and then he said:

    Step 2 (optional): choose only one desktop graphics card to complete your experience.

    I need a very good graphics card so I chose the 1070 GTX, but I noticed that he removed the bubble of the amplifier of graphics option. When I order the laptop it will still come with the amplifier graphic or just the graphics card I bought? Thank you

    It is indeed confusing on the auction site. For now, do not order from here. Restore Dell (1-800-999-3355) Sales Department and ask them to manually create the command. Be very specific all three devices you want =.

  • Student first Pro purchase Options

    Hello

    As a student I am able to buy the first pro as a single application, without having to buy the whole creative suite? I saw the option available for non-students, but not for students? Thank you.

    Hi Carolinem,

    Yes, you can subscribe to Premiere Pro as a single application.

    But you won't get student discount for that.

    If you opt for the subscription of creative cloud for students, this will cost you less as compared to the single application.

  • Difficulty your purchase options steps

    I tried to register for a prepaid plan 1 year for one of your products, but the site has somehow decided that I have to pay with a credit card Thai because I am currently located in Thailand. While I do not live in Thailand, so I only a Swedish credit card is not possible. Why can't I choose the currency during the stages of the purchase? It is therefore impossible for me to complete the purchase, as the currency should match the address to country. Large.

    Hi Staffan.estberg,

    I see that you have an account under the same Adobe id as with forums.

    The country store & the Adobe ID, payment details must be same.

    For tax reasons, it is not possible to change the country associated with an existing Adobe ID. To work around the problem, you can create a new Adobe ID to the e-mail address associated with your existing Adobe ID see the link for instructions:

  • InDesign CS4 purchase option - no. CLOUD!

    I would like to know why Adobe decided that the cloud is the way forward?

    I have CS4 Web Premium. It works very well for me and I need to upgrade. However, I want to buy InDesign CS4 to go with my now, BUT that is not feasible. Now, they want you to pay a monthly fee... which I have NO confidence Cloud products. I want tangible objects in my hand and not have to pay monthly service fees. What a bunch of crap!

    If anyone knows where I can buy a new InDesign CS4 with SN program, let me know. Or, if there is an alternative program that won't lock you in monthly subscription fees, let me know.

    Thank you!

    CS4 is no longer sold, you can buy CS6

    Link to buy the CS6 via phone http://www.adobe.com/products/cs6.html read all the way down

    From what I read in a forum message, newer than 10.7 Mac must subscribe in the cloud instead of buy CS6... and someone with Win10 must also subscribe to the cloud for CS6 is not compatible (meaning that the seller will ask you your operating system and not sell you CS6 if she does not work on your computer... I don't know if this means that Win7 and you can't buy if you have Win8)

    Please report back with your operating system if you are able to buy CS6
