[request] [non-linear video editing] PiTiVi

i have had a lot of trouble attempting to get this working, particularly with the dependencies
PiTiVi allows users to easily edit audio/video projects based on the GStreamer framework: Capture audio and video; mix, resize, cut, apply effects to audio/video sources; Render/Save the projects to any format supported by the GStreamer framework. PiTiVi is still in a very early stage of development, and contributions are much welcome.
*  Gstreamer 0.8.10
          o GST-FFMpeg 0.8.4
          o GST-Plugins 0.8.8
    * Python 2.3.0
          o PyGTK 2.6.0
          o GNOME-Python 2.6.0
          o GST-Python CVS
    * Gnonlin CVS
The dependencies are on date of July 5th, 2005. The numbers are there to give an indication, there might be higher needs.

gst-ffmpeg, pygtk, gstreamer, gst-plugins, gnome-python and python  are in extra
gst-python is in community, but is behind one version (as required by pitivi .1.10) but currently the aur won't let me at the PKGBUILD ..so here's a shotty one

it seems to work -- though i donno what it would do if it didn't
to be used from cvs, pitivi requires gstreamer .9, current version in repos is 8.10
pitivi .1.10 builds but does not seem to work well (though the screenshots may say more for it than the actual program does) it could be a bad gnonlin
if i build without a pkgbuild it runs but ugly EDIT: i didn't have gst-ffmpeg, now i get the same error either way
if i build with this pkgbuild i get
"PyGTK couldn't be found !"

  • New to Final Cut Pro, but not to Non Linear Editing

    Hi my name is Rob and I am going to be a new Final Cut Pro owner here shortly. I have worked with various other Non Linear editing systems like SONY Vegas, AVID and Adobe Premiere Pro. So I am not new to the Non Linear style of editing video.
    I got my first glimpse of FCP at my internship and loved it. Now my dream of owning a MAC and FCP are coming true.
    I will be purchasing a Mac Pro with...
    - One 2.8GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processor
    - 2GB (2x1GB) RAM
    - 500GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s Harddrive
    - ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB Videocard
    - Apple Cinema Display (20" flat panel), upgrading later to another 20".
    And as you all know I will be getting Final Cut Pro with this purchase as well.
    I just thought I would introduce myself to this part of the forum. As I will probably be here all the time. I have purchased the FCP 6 manual to get myself started.

    You can call me Rob or S70 or heck even S. LOL, I would like Rob, but whatever.
    I am a news editor. I edit Packages sometimes, but mainly VO's, SOT's, NATVO's the normal TV stuff. I edit with Adobe Premiere Pro at work and work from DVC PRO, BETA and even from our DVD archives and of course news wires.
    I do not shoot. I may do my own shooting of random stuff, with the help of an old Digital MiniDV JVC camcorder.
    I'd like to try and get my FCP skills up and maybe start freelancing and maybe even getting into my own production company or something like that.

  • Feedback request for First PC Build - For video editing (Premiere, AE)

    Hey guys. This is going to be my first PC Build, and I've been researching for weeks to put together parts to build a balanced system that is affordable but will still perform solidly. Since I am so new at this, most of this PC jargon is extremely new to me. I would just build it, but for me this is a lot of money, and I want to double check with some more experienced people that this is a solid build before stepping forward.
    I've recently started my own videography business, and I need to build something that will allow me to edit and add effects more efficiently. I don't need the best in the game, but I do need to upgrade from my current system. I edit almost entirely DSLR footage. I mostly use Premiere, but am learning AE, and hope to implement it a lot more in the near future. Anyway, if you have time to look it over, I really appreciate any feedback you are willing to give!!
    -Does everything fit?!
    -Is this system balanced?
    -Are there any bottlenecks?
    -Anything overkill?
    -How upgradeable is it?
    -Is there anything worth upgrading now rather than later?
    -Also, are there other sites to find these parts cheaper?

    In addition to what cc_merchant has said, my only comments to add would be to consider the new Haswell platform and/or the Nvidia 700 series cards that recently came out.
    Depending on how soon you need this machine, it may be worth your while to get a 4770k and Z87 mobo. (You might want to wait for the C2 stepping to hit shelves, as the current C1 offerings have a USB 3.0 bug). I've read that the C2 version should hit shelves early to mid August.
    As for the videocard, Nvidia just released the Gtx 760, which would be a much stronger offering for a little bit more money. (Some here might argue that it is overkill for that machine, but I think the future proof aspect makes it worth it).
    For the hard drives, below is the hypothetical scenario I plan to go with when I build my system (per Harm's instructions):
    C:\  OS, Programs, Windows Pagefile - 128GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD
    D:\  Projects and Media - 3TB Seagate 7200.14 HDD
    E:\  Media Cache / Scratch - RAID 0, 2x 1TB Seagate 7200.14 HDD
    F:\  Misc/Non-Video Editing Hard Drive - 1TB WD Caviar Black
    Exports go to whichever drive has space available.
    If you're only able to afford one of these upgrades, I would focus on getting the optimum hard drive setup. Right now, that's your bottleneck.
    Hope that helps.

  • Non-Video Editing Graphics Adapter

    Over in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1318710 I described a problem with wife's ATI HD 5450 card and Win8.1 breaking the 3D function in her Cad program
    I am concerned that "what ever" it was about 8.1 that broke her 3D function will creep into "something else" in a Windows update, so am planning to replace her card with something newer... a card that has/will receive driver updates
    Since this is not for video editing, I don't especially NEED an nVidia card, although I am certainly going to look and compare features
    So... does anyone have any experience with an ATI R7 (or similar price of under $100) card... especially as it relates to Win8.1?

    This absolutely SUCKS !!!
    Card arrived a couple hours ago... I first made a boot drive backup (as always... and a good thing!) and then uninstalled ATI card/driver
    Power down and unplug so not even a vestigate of power to power supply or motherboard
    Remove ATI and install PNY... properly snapped into place... and connected 6 pin power connector
    nVidia/PNY says MINimum 400watt PS, have 550watt http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/extreme/extreme-power-plus-550w/
    While doing advance reading, had done "go into bios, disable secure boot, enable legacy devices" to enable booting with the card installed
    Plug in power cord and connect monitor... press power button
    Computer went into an endless loop of trying to start up and show screen for about a second, then power down... and repeat
    I even unplugged the 6 pin power cord and used the supplied adapter to connect to a different line... same boot loop
    Before I contact Amazon for a defective card return... any great ideas?
    Added Info... 550watt PS is driving 2 hard drives (500G + 1T Western Digital) and 32Gig of Ram and 4 case fans and DVD writer (which is not in use during boot) so not what I would think is too much of a power draw

  • Music Video Editing 101

    I posted this a few years back - before it rolled off the end of the discussions, I moved it to Dave Slater's ProAppTips.com which is currently in limbo due to hacker problems, but he retrieved the text for me and I thought it might be handy to post now. I should update it for using MultiClips, but they can be problematic, depending on how the video was shot and the timing/overlap of the coverage available (see: MultiCam and Music Videos). For now, I'll just post it as it was originally written.
    _*Music video editing 101*_
    Although I've cut probably over 250 music videos, this is only how I work. What works for you may be entirely different and more productive for you. I am not here to champion these techniques and I invite anyone else to post how they do it.
    Okay down to business. Digitizing material: I capture all the available material, preferably in 20-30 minute chunks. Among other things, the large chunks can come in handy if there is a discrepancy between the timecode on the offline tapes and the master tapes. I watch the material as it comes in and note anything of interest (cool shots, etc). After capture, I go thru and put markers at the start of each take and scene. I'll go into the philosophy of logging/overlogging later.
    Now, music videos can most often be divided into two sections - performance and concept (or story). The first thing to tackle is the performance. Not only is this locked to the areas of the song being performed (barring cheating choruses or other repeating stuff), but it helps you to know where you want to put the story (which is where your performance coverage is the weakest).
    How I cut performance is this. First, I try to pick a good overall base take of performance - this is often a wider shot that covers the whole band. I usually have chosen this take while watching the material as I capture. I put the master audio in the sequence and cut this video take onto V1. This is because I find it easier to cut into something rather than cut a shot into black. Now I go back and start at the first take and hopefully there was a smart slate used, but however I do it, I get the take lined up so that the frame in the viewer is at the same point in the song as the frame in the canvas, then set gang sync (I have a this mapped to a keypress).
    I then play what I have in the viewer until I see something I like. Now, because I've ganged the edit with this take, it's been following along, so I can quickly pop over to see what is at that point in my edit and see if what I just saw in the take looks better. If it does, I cut it in, If not, I can ignore it, or cut it onto V2/V3/V4, etc and set its visibility off (ctrl-b). Why would I do that? Maybe later I need to change the shot because the singer doesn't like himself from that side, or I need more shots of the drummer, or I've changed the edit and the shot doesn't work anymore, or maybe I'll be able to cheat it in at another point of the song. The point is, I'm going thru the material now and I might as well save anything I like so I won't have to look for it later. Tossing it onto a higher video track keeps it in sync with where it should fall in the song.
    Now go I back and keep playing the take and when I see the next thing I like, repeat the process. I continue this until I've finished the take. Then I repeat this for all takes. It's time consuming, but I've found it to be the only way to ensure you've given due consideration to all the material and you can say you have the strongest performance in your edit. And your goal is to make a performance cut so tight that it will be painful to give up areas of it to concept. I also keep a bin/sequence of non-sync cutaways - maybe a drum hit, maybe a look from the lead singer, maybe a bass riff. These are important to your cut, but you can treat them like concept - i.e. you can put them anywhere you need to.
    When you've finished your performance cut, duplicate your sequence (You might also have done this during stages of your performance cut, just to keep backups). The reason you want to now is to always have a pure performance cut to go back to.
    Now consider the concept. Sometimes it warrants cutting it all together as a story complete, other times it will only function as cutaways or it illustrates specific lines in the song, etc. However you get the concept organized, the performance cut will provide a roadmap as to where to place the concept. Sometimes it's blatantly obvious (like you have no performance for a certain area), other times (if you've done a good job on the performance cut) it will be a struggle to find where to put it. I always keep my performance on its own layer/s and add a new layer for the concept. This is to allow ease of re-arranging the story. If you have it on its own layer, you won't need to replace the missing performance if you shift the concept around, you'll just reveal the existing (wonderfully tight) performance below.
    I could go on and on about this, but those are the basics. As to timing, I usually allow myself 2 days for capture and performance cut. Third day is concept. Fourth day massaging the overall edit. Send off that night for comments. Fifth day is changes from artist/label/management. Lather, rinse, repeat.
    Finally a bit about logging of footage. When I first started editing, it was on a linear, tape-based system. So I had a wall of thermal printouts to guide me to my selects and whenever I needed a specific shot, it usually involved a lot of shuttling thru tape. An inevitable beneficial fallout of this work flow is that I'd often find a better shot than the one I was searching for, simply because I had to shuttle to find my intended shot.
    This fostering of happy accidents was lost when I started editing non-linear. Because I could instantly go where ever I wanted, I only ever found what I wanted and lost a certain spontaneity to my edits. They became more predictable. It took me a little while to realize this and to come up with some solutions.
    First of all, I don't overlog footage. None of this clips named "The one where Jack finds the beans and discovers the true meaning of friendship in wide shot with the cow OOF over his right shoulder (sky has clouds)". I make it so I always know where to find my shot, but not so I can just get there without shuttling a bit. Also, I try to keep a sequence of selects. Shots that I like, but haven't found a use for yet. Thats where I always go to find a shot I need - that way, shuttling thru the sequence, I am exposed to shots that I know are good and may be better than the shot I think I am looking for.
    Anyone else want to post their work flow?
    Patrick

    Great workflow Patrick. The one main thing missing that I use in music video editing is the grouping of multiclips to group all of your performance takes into one clip. For those that haven't used this then you have access to all performance takes at any given point in the song. This is handy as you might have 50 to 100 takes on some videos. The thing that makes a grouping of multiclips easy is the use of a timecode slate and an audio master (though aux code grouping can be done without it). You then assign an auxiliary timecode to each take and group your mulitclip by that. In avid land I subclip a masterclip by takes. Unfortunately Apple has done a really dumb thing in FCP. When you make subclips from a master clip and assign auxiliary timecode it will ripple the aux code of other subs from the master clip. Completely useless for music video. The solution is to capture each take in its own master clip but that is a long and tedious log that for me is totally not needed for a music video. I wish Apple would address this (it as been discussed in this thread) but it has been unchanged since the introduction of multiclips. That's why I always cut my music videos in Avid.

  • Is FCP really non-linear?

    Discreet Edit was a true NLE program. Within a time line you could manipulate the speed of a clip, and the rest of the video in the time line would not be messed with. Because when you manipulated that individual clip, it would simply speed up or slow down what material was available in the original source clip.
    Final cut, when you manipulate the speed of a clip, every part of the project on the time line just after that clip is thrown out of EVERYTHING.
    In future upgrades of FCP I hope that they adopt something that allows us to manipulate clips more freely in a truly NLE environment instead of having to open up a second time line , manipulate the clips there, and then bring them back onto the original time line.

    "In digital video editing, non-linear editing is a method that allows you to access any frame in a digital video clip regardless of sequence in the clip"
    - http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/N/nonlinearediting.html
    "In video, a non-linear editing system (NLE) is a video editing (NLVE) or audio editing (NLAE) system which can perform random access on the source material."
    - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinearediting
    "TRUE" non-linear editing has nothing to do with speed changes. As you can see defined above, it is the allowance of random access to the footage. The speed change capabilities of ONE non-linear application doesn't mean that it is a TRUE non-linear editor. It means that it deals with one aspect of non-linear editing in a way you deem superior. It is fine to think of that as a better way of doing a speed change, but to then use that ONE thing to say that that system is a TRUE non-linear editor, and that everything else PALES in comparison is ludicrous.

  • Video Editing feature in latest version of Photoshop CS6 does not exist/work. How do I fix this problem?

    Hi everyone! I downloaded CS6 for a graphic design class that I was taking. I later found out that you could edit videos with the essentials portion of CS6 since it no longer has to be extended like in CS5. I went to import some videos from bridge and bridge would not allow me to do so. I also tried to open the files in Photoshop and I as I was looking at the type of files that I could open like quicktime files, wmv., mov., etc., I could not find anything relating to opening videos. The only thing that showed up were types of image files to open. Did I buy a faulty version of this program? Is there a way to get the video editing feature back on here or do I have to breakdown and buy Photoshop essentials separately?
    Thank you!

    Try dropping the video file on CS6 it should open.  Maks sure CS6 is up to date. Version 13.0.6 Mac version 13.0.1.3 Windows Version 13.1.2 subscription. Also post you CS6 menu Help>System Info... Copy and paste here.  You can see  have the subscription version and use Windows 7....

  • New to Mac and to video editing...need some guidance, please

    I've decided to make the switch and ordered a new 3Ghz 24" iMac. I chose a 1TB HD and 4G of RAM.
    I want to do some photo and video editing (nothing professional, simply vacation photos and video). I'll be purchasing an HD camcorder later this year to replace my current one (non-HD). I currently have about 5000 photos and about 50 hours of unedited DV on DV tapes to begin to work with.
    Any suggestions on the following would be much appreciated:
    1. Back-up: Should I use a 1GB Time Capsule or a 1 GB GTECH drive with Time Machine? I should mention that I plan on purchasing a MB or MBP later this year. Can I use a GTech HD as a NAS-like drive for both the iMac and the notebook?
    2. Should I partition the internal HD?
    3. Should I use a 'scratch disk' for video editing? If so, any suggestions for a particular size or model?
    4. Any suggestions for ease of transfer of my data from my PC (photos, iTunes library, mail, IE favorites, etc.)?
    5. Anything else you would suggest for a new Mac user?
    Thanks very much for the help!!!

    Hi there.
    First, a couple of websites to help you on your way (and Welcome to the Mac!)
    http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/
    And also
    http://www.apple.com/support/leopard/
    Now, as for your questions, these are just IMHO:
    Backup - get BOTH the capsule and a separate HD. If you can only get one, personally I would get the non-TB disk so that I can drag the video files that I want onto it. the Capsule might backup other stuff (and slowly compared to the straight drive; get a FW 800 drive if you can, if not then FW 400 at least). I also think you meant TB not GB! Just make sure the DISK is from a good vendor (Seagate, Hitachi or Western Digital).
    Partition - Nope; wastes space; you need contiguous space from my experience. Only do that if you really need to run Windows via Boot Camp (not recommended to run Windows at all!)
    Scratch disk is absolutely recommended. Get the largest size one you can afford and separate out this from your backup disk. (Worst case, use a bit of the scratch disk as your backup, but also keep the same work files on your main hard disk so you at least have a physical duplicate somewhere). Yup, hard disks are gonna add up!
    The above websites have some tips on transferring content from PCs; generally you can just burn stuff onto DVD and import them onto the Mac. That's pretty straight forward.
    Suggestions IMHO - forget the Mighty Mouse and get another quality two button mouse. Also consider a Kensington Trackball. Get AppleCare warranty for all your hardware (for peace of mind). Triple check that your camcorder will be supported by iMovie '08. It might not be by Final Cut but at least you can get the files from iMovie into Final Cut. But Final Cut does support quite a lot of them already.
    Introduce 10 other Windows people to the Mac. (This is what we do).
    Cheers!

  • Storage options for video editing

    For video editing is it better to use an external drive as the scratch disc or use an internal (non-bootable) drive. I keep getting conflicting information. I would like to get an additional 500gb for my system (Mac Pro G5)but don't know what direction to go. Any advice/opinions would be greatly appreciated.

    Well it all depends. Certainly, there's many good reasons to install a second internal drive. But I think it's better to use this as a "clone" of your startup drive. When I have a stable OS and application combo, I clone my startup drive to the second internal drive using carbon copy cloner (available at versiontracker.com). After cloning, I always try starting up from the clone to make sure everything's working. Then I can do a software update, install additional apps, and if my system goes south either from updates or some sort of corruption, I can quickly restart from the second internal drive and get back to work.
    I've installed a sata card and bought a 5 bay sata enclosure from macgurus. Trays are about $ 25.00 and drives keep getting cheaper. I can quickly swap out drives and you can also stripe the drives if you need faster thru put.
    I used to have as many as 11 firewire drives chained to my g5 and it worked great for years. But then things went seriously south and it took many months of troubleshooting to figure out the problem. It seemed like different brands of firewire drives did not play nicely together. I've been working with the sata enclosure for 2 1/2 years without any problems.

  • Which do you think; Windows 7: 32-bit / 64-bit, (plus unused RAM issues) is best for video editing?

    Hi there!
    Just received delivery of a Lenovo G550 with the following spec:
    2.2Ghz Core 2 Duo,
    4GB (DDR3 - 1066Hz) RAM,
    500GB HDD
    NVIDIA GeForce G210M (512MB)
    Windows 7
    The entire purpose for buying this laptop, was for video editing and it is the best spec I could find for my needs and budget.
    So what's the problem?
    1) Windows 7 is installed as 32-bit, not 64 bit. Why is this? I was given no choice in this decision.
    2) Only 2.96GB of that juicey RAM is being used by Windows 7. I need as much RAM as possible for video editing.
    3) Lenovo sent NO install disc. - When I eventually get a virus or my HDD fails, I have NO WAY to clean install the very product I have just purchased! (A laptop with Windows 7 OS).
    Considerations:
    As I understand it (please comment if there are alternative views on this); The 64-bit architecture is only useful for compatible software which has been designed to run 64-bit.
    The video editing software I use is "Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD 9.0"
    The suggested problems with Windows 7 run as 64-bit include:
    * Possible lack of driver compatibility support.
    * Possibility of 32-bit programs running SLOWER in 64-bit environment, than their native 32-bit environment.
    * Higher running temperatures & processor cooling issues.
    * No performance gains for all other programs running as 32-bit (email, internet browser, etc).
    The suggested advantages with Windows 7 run as 64-bit could be:
    * Full utilisation of the 4GB RAM. (Presently limited to 2.96GB)
    * Faster rendering and video editing tasks in 64-bit environment.
    Questions:
    4) How can I get an install disc for Windows 7? Shouldn't this come with the computer?
    5) Do you think the potential hassle and architecture conflicts are worth suffering, to get the reported performance gains of 64-bit architecture and the remaining unused RAM?
    Thank you for any help and advice!

    contact lenovo support line for windows 7 dvds, but make sure if they send recovery dvds instead of windows 7 dvd.
    most of people are having trouble with installing windows and drivers, so companies has found as this as solution to send recovery dvd -if asked- or using hidden partition to recovery system - like one key recover - instead of.
    but if you ask me, they need to send dvds.
    i'll contact the mods and admins about this issue, please stay connected to this post.

  • Mac Mini and Video Editing

    I wanted to find out if the new Mac Mini is powerful enough for basic home video editing. This will not be anything professional, simply Vlogs to post to Youtube. I was looking at building a new PC for this task however I have been looking at the new Mac Mini's, which comes with I movie, and with the new I5 and I7 chips, I was thinking that would be a better option. Thoughts
    Mike

    I would recommend starting with Imovie on a mini, since it will come for free on your system, and if you don't like it/need more, move up to a higher end program.  CS5.5 and Avid Media Composer 5.5 have some great student/teacher discounts if your still a student or have a teacher in the family.  FCPX is priced low for non students as well, 300 ain't a lot for a high end program like FCP, it used to be 1 grand for it til this version came out.  You should be fine running any program on a mac mini (or any model) with at least 4gb of ram.  If you get into professional post production you can always upgrade the mini to 16gb of ram, get a 6g SSD, a external thunderbolt drive, etc.  My 2 generation old mini works fine with high end NLE software, so the new one should work just as well/better. 

  • What Macbook Pro to get for video editing?

    For software like adobe after effects cs5, what macbook would be the best, I have pretty limited money so is the base model ok? if not whitch one works well?
    Thanks!

    The top end non-retina, 15" anti-glare is the best. SSD preferred, has a Superdrive. RAM and hard drive upgradable later by the user.
    The retina has a glossy screen which is hard on the eyes and using in various places, it's battery life is terrible and the images are not correct as it's blowing things up to mach the higher pixel rate. No Superdrive. You can't open the machine up, you can't clean the fans of dust you can't upgrade it later, you will have to max it out at purchase for a small fortune and go way over budget. Plus there really isn't too much difference in the quality of the screen with regular MBP's anyway, just eats battery life to drive that huge pixel screen. You'll be replacing it a lot sooner than the standard 15"
    Don't waste your money on the 13", it lacks a dedicated graphics, the CPU does it thus it's HOT. Won't 3D game well if your also into play.
    Top end 15" antiglare is perfect.

    Actually the MacPro is the perfect choice of power and performance for video editing, with it's substancial cooling. But you want a laptop , just know things will take longr and the machien will be hotter as a result and wear out sooner if your doing 3D gaming or video often.

  • Calibrating Apple Cinema Display for Video Editing

    What's the procedure to calibrate an Apple Cinema Display for editing in FCP (editing and preliminary color grading)?
    My camcorder can produce color bars, but I can't hook it up directly to the monitor. Shall I record color bars and use the recorded clip to calibrate? What's the procedure regarding calibration?
    Thanks!

    The need to "calibrate" a display for video "editing" is a complete fallacy. There is no need to have accurate images when plopping pictures and graphics next to each other to create a story in a linear fashion. For accuracy you need a dedicated input/output device with a display that represents your intended delivery; projection, broadcast, whatever. If your intended delivery is web or phone only, well, it's a total rodeo where the word "consistency" has no meaning at all.
    The MXO, it puts a look up table on a computer monitor and then does some other electronic mumbo jumbo to simulate interlacing and other tv junk. I call it lipstick on a pig, others here will give it high marks.
    The only real constant is that if you want to play in the world of "hd", the costs are bigger than in "sd" and is the return on investment worth it?

  • I am 12 and want a 13 inch Macbook for video editing and stuff I cannot do on my iPad.

    I need a Macbook for video editing and stuff I cannot do on my iPad (flash web browsing, iMovie or Final Cut Pro for YouTube, small games, photoshop, Reaktor 5, etc). I was thinking of buying the MacBook Air 13" refurbished intel core i5 for $999. I can pay up to $1,300 so I was thinking of getting the 13" MacBook Pro with retina display refurbished intel core i5 for $1,260. But then I couldn't buy many accessories or AppleCare. I do not really want to buy the non-retina MacBook Pro because it is not as portable and I am only 12 but I don't know much about how heavy it is because there is no apple store where I live but this is why I came here. So which MacBook should I buy? (I am probably going to wait until the new MacBooks in June 2013)

    Hilary:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Congratulations on your upcoming graduation and the really wonderful gift you anticipate from your parents. Unfortunately, I am unable to give you information about upcoming Apple products or promotions, as I honestly don't know.
    All my purchased music, and games, and videos, etc are on the computer I am currently using. Is there a way to transfer all of it to my new MacBook I will be receiving?
    If the computer you are currently using is a Mac, yes, it can be transferred. One of the difficulties with the new MacBook is that it does not have any firewire ports, which will make networking a bit of a pain, but it can be done. Post back after you have your new computer with specs and we will give you directions on how to do it.
    And are they going to make a new Macbook? So should I wait?
    While I do not have any specific information about upcoming products, it is fairly certain that Apple will be coming out with new products. Of course this is a continuing process so you can be waiting for a long time. I would, personally, go ahead and get one now, and that should certainly see you through college. By then who know what wonderful products will be available!
    Please do post back with further questions or comments, if you have any.

  • 27" iMac (NON RETINA) video card configuration options!?

    Hello,
    Regarding the 27" iMac (NON RETINA) model, you have the option to upgrade to either the 2GB NVidia card or the 4GB NVidia card.  I was wondering if the 4GB card is really necessary or if the 2GB card would be more than enough for my needs?  I basically use a computer for normal/everyday tasks (such as E-Mail, web surfing, chat, webcaming, watching videos (which will include streaming/mirroring with Airplay to my HDTV), basic photo editing, occasional video editing (again basic personal/everyday types of editing) etc...
    I am coming from a Windows world where every thing freezes up on me (I can't even use Facebook on my current Windows 8 machine without Facebook constantly freezing up on me) it's driving me insane!  Granted I have a very cheap laptop right now so I'm sure most of the problems is related to the hardware but I don't want to have to deal with this if I move over to the Mac world so I want to make sure I get what I need.
    I'm assuming a 4GB video card is perhaps overkill for me but wanted to make sure before I order.
    Thanks!

    Are you saying that for video watching (either local media or online streaming), airplay to Apple TV, personal video editing (home vids etc) that the video card does not improve performance, whether it's a integrated card, 512MB card, 1GB card, 2GB, card, etc?  If so I never knew that lol, I always thought the larger the video ram was the better overall performance your display would provide.
    So if I got the standard 1GB card with the 27" model, you are saying that would provide the same performance to me as if I upgraded the card to the 2GB or 4GB card?  If so I feel really stupid right now...
    I am, my 2011 27" iMac with a 512GPU supports Airplay and 2 AppleTV's perfectly!
