An apple into a-m-v.org

Macintosh, this computers are -As I heard- initially born exactly for Video Editing, they so should be the most of the most in this category. Sadly, my first contact with them is been awful and so until now I'm quite happy with what I have, so a normal Tower PC with the OS by Microsoft. But, what I would ask here is.. Do you have any example of an Amv made with a macintosh? There are Apple's users in this site? :O

there are a few editors who use macs... Brad Demos uses one for his editing.
my personal experience with using a mac to editis limited only to Premiere 6.5. i very much prefer using my PC over the mac. i have never used final cut pro so i don't know what thats like. but if i had to choose one or the other, i would go with the PC because i know how to use the software. Are macs better for video editing? is some regaurds, sure. but i'll use my PC over a mac anyday.

We're too busy debating sub vs. dub and dragonball vs. naruto to worry about pc vs. mac.

I wouldn't say ones better than the other, especially for AMV's it's the creator not the software that matters.

The reason people say Final Cut is better is because it is more often used professionaly as a video editor.

well I started with Adobe Premier for windows and went on to a Mac with Final Cut. Can't say one is deffinately better, as its virtually impossible to do a side by side of videos and say "this is Premiere and this is Final Cut". I like the way Final Cut is laid out and I like its work flow better than Premiere, but thats me.

Choose what ever program you are the most comfrotable with.

Its like Charcoal and Pencil, just a medium.

I use a Mac, and my last four videos I used my Mac for it. Since making AMVs are done more on PCs there are more things for it. For example HufYUV, AVIsynth, and VirtualDub and things like that.

I-Movie wasn't so bad. Like WMM, only 3x better.

I just hate having one mouse button to click

You work with what you've got.

In my experience, if you put the same amount of money into a PC as compared to the cost of a Mac, you get pretty much the same thing. So far as I know, most of the Adobe products are mac/pc compatible (have to check my boxes..) FCP look a lot like Premiere/Vegas/Ulead/etc.. so if you can use one video editor, and know how to work a help file you'll be alright.

As far as I know all of Red Wolf's videos are made on a mac. He helped write a guide at one point and works as a mac techie so I doubt he would ever use a PC for amv'ing.
