Mac Configuration For Video Editing

Microsoft publisher 2016 for mac. Buy the best MacPro you can afford. Go for the best ATi video card that is an option, try to get at least a gig of RAM per CPU core, and don't skimp on your storage.

At that budget I'd say 8 core 2.4, 12gb RAM, 1tb boot drive, 2x 2tb editing drives, the ATi 5870, and a single 27 inch window. That comes in at about 5700 without FCS. The cuts I'd make if that's too much are 8gb RAM and 1 2tb drive for editing to get down to 5100, 6100 with FCS. If you can wait Final Cut X comes out this summer for about $300.

We don't know a whole lot about it yet, but the better specs with FCX will be a lot faster than the lower specs with FCS. Whether or not you can wait is a question you need to answer for yourself. If you don't need the monitor change your boot drive to the SSD.

Based on my research, the new Mac mini is a solid machine for video editing, with the ability to configure the system with up to 64GB of RAM, a 6-core Intel i7 desktop-class processor, and a 10Gigabit Ethernet port. For those using Mac video editing workstations running Apple's Final Cut Pro X (FCPX), you may already be aware but it only supports local storage devices and SANs. At first glance this seems to severely limit the options of high density, high performance network storage to expensive SAN based solutions.

I'm having BIG problems with my ATTO R680 and EnhanceRAID R8 MS Enclosure. In the beginning, when we first set it up, drives were degrading and going offline. We sent the Enclosure back to Enhance Tech and they said they saw a problem with the power supply, so they fixed it and sent it back. 6 months later we are having the same problem. This time we sent ATTO support (who by the way is the best Support I've ever worked with) our system logs to see if they could figure out our problem. He said it looked like a power supply problem on the R8MS. 2 different companies, 2 different support, 6 months apart saw a problem with the power supply on our Enclosure.

We think we bought a Lemon. But then I got to looking at Avid Configuration Guidelines for the Dual 6 core MAC Pro Configuration.

It tells you to install the ATTO R680 into slot 3 which is a 4-lane slot 3.) PCI Express Gen2 4-lane d) Option - ATTO ExpressSAS H680 Host Adapter But the ATTO Installation document for the R680 says A computer with an available x8 or x16 PCI Express expansion slot. The ExpressSAS adapter has been optimized for x8 electrical slots. Check your computer’s documentation So it's asking for a 8 or 16-Lane expansion slot, NOT the 4-Lane Avid Recommends. The 16-Land slots are slots 1 & 2 (Slot 1 already has the graphics card in it) I'm not saying that this is where problem lies, I'm just curious if a) Okay, maybe this is where the problem lies and it's effecting the power supply on our Enclosure (I doubt it) or b) Why is there a discrepency between ATTO and AVID and where to put the R680? If anyone has any thoughts I'd like to hear them.

Thanks Tom Mac Pro 12-Core 24GB RAM.
