A Pro Video Editor's Opinion

What the new iMac’s target market really thinks

- Alun pughe

Over the years, I’ve used a lot of different computers from various brands to do high-end video editing. And I ask a lot from them. Now that 4k video is the norm in my sector of the industry, this has really put the cat among the pigeons when it comes to performance – doing anything in real time with a timeline full of 4k clips tends to bring a lot of computers to their knees. I was thrilled to get the chance to see how the iMac pro copes with this.

For my work during the time I had the iMac pro, I was using adobe premiere pro cc with red raw footage, canon c200 cinemarawlite and some lower tier sony fs7 xavc clips to see how it performed.
