Digital video
Apple started claiming their superiority in digital
video editing and handling with the release of their G3. We have some
interesting tests that shows the mac getting beaten black and blue by
a much cheaper pc-system.
A
Quick Look at the Fastest Apple PowerMac
"Basically, the 1.25 GHz dual
G4 PowerMac is slower than most high end PCs (including single-processor
ones)... it must be said that the Apple PowerMac does feature a very nice
system chassis that provides easy access to components. "
After
Effects Showdown: Mac vs. PC
"Not one of the objective tests
we conducted using After Effects showed Apple's flagship machine to be
superior. In fact, in most of the tests, the Mac was left lagging far
behind. "
Mac
vs. PC III: Mac Slaughtered Again
"So, in addition to the extra
$629 you must pay for the Mac, it will cost you plenty of time as well,
especially while using After Effects. Time is money. After looking at
these startling benchmark results, we have to gaze over at our beautifully-designed
Macs and ask, "Is it worth it?" "
Another drawback with the mac
is that some of the best and most used editing programs aren't available
for Mac Os.
