What is the best video card to edit uncompressed .avi digibeta files.

I just digitised my digibeta footage into uncompressed .avi video files.
I just would like to know what will be the best way to edit using FCP.
What video card do I need? What are the best specs that i need to have on a mac pro or a mac book pro.
How is it possible?
Thx,
James

Why .avi?
Final Cut Pro works with QuickTime .mov files.
The video card in your MacBook Pro will be fine. The way to avoid rendering is to make sure that your Easy Setup and Sequence Settings match your source material.

  • What is the best video card my computer can handle?

    Hi I  currently have this HP Desktop PC: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02636777&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=505...
    I wanted to know what the best video card this computer can handle WITHOUT replacing the power supply.
    this computer has a power supply of 250W but I was told that it could handle a Radeon HD 5570 but the 5570 requires "Stream Processors: 400 Stream Processing Units " does that mean it requires 400W power supply?
    My questions:
    1) Can my HP PC handle the Radeon HD 5570?
    2) If it can't what is the best video card that my computer can handle that is BETTER than the one it comes with, NVIDA GeForce 6150 SE?

    Hi,
    I would recommend that you upgrade your power supply and not go against the video card manufacturer's recommendation.

  • What is the best video card for 3D?

    I'm getting a 2008 Mac Pro, will equip it with 10GB of RAM. What is the best video card for 3D rendering? I've read that the stock ATI 2600 card is woefully inadequate. I've also read that the NVIDIA 8800 card is better for gaming, and has caused some problems anyway. I can't spring for the top-end Quadra card that Apple offers. Are there good, cost-effective options for 3D work? Can I even get a video card on the open market that is not flashed by Apple?

    Basically there are only three options available:
    1. ATI 2600
    2. ATI 1900
    3. NVidia 8800
    The latter is the best of the three. See benchmark results at Bare Feats.
    You cannot use a video card not provided by Apple because they will not work with OS X or the hardware.

  • What is the best Video Card I can get for an Early 2008 Mac Pro?

    What is the best Video Card I can get for an Early 2009 Mac Pro3,1?

    A 3,1 is "Early 2008" with DDR2 FBDIMMs, Intel 54xx Harpertown, and not 2009 Nehalem with DDR3.
    http://www.barefeats.com bench tests. A 3,1 does not improve as much due to its old PCIe 2.0 implementation for one thing.
    "Best" is hugely subjective. For what? cost versus performance and whether you need CUDA support or AMD - dual AMD's for FCP-X for instance.
    I think GTX 970 right now is close to "best".

  • What is the best video card for an Early 2008 Mac Pro

    I have an early mac pro with a solid state drive. I use Adobe CC 2014. The old video card is not working. I loaded Yosemite and have bad problems using Prem Pro CC.
    Any suggestions on the most suitable video card?

    We love it when people want us to guess what video card and other items you have .... price is no object of course right.... and you want CUDA? so that means a GTX this time instead of what you have (5770 upgrade? no, the original 2600XT that really should have been ditched long ago).
    Yosemite also makes more demands on the GPU.
    The GTX 680 Mac Edition EVGA would be the first, though people are using even newer graphic cards in the Nvidia line.

  • TS1935 I have the video card model . What is the best video card for a 1.6GHz PowerPC G5 please?

    Hello
    What is the best (most modern and reliable) video card (AGP) which will work in a 1.6GHz PowerPC G5 (mid 2003)?
    I believe I have ATY,RV350, and according to the attached article, it may be causing video start up problems.
    Thank you
    Adam

    Hi Adam,
    See japamacs page here on the best AGP cards for G4s & G5s...
    http://www.jcsenterprises.com/Japamacs_Page/Blog/4B4B7BA2-7ABB-47F1-87AC-B03D379 42BEE.html
    Rated slowest on top, fastest on bottom.
    Though with no power loght & such, I'm not sure that is the problem or not... does the Hard drive(s) spin up?

  • What's the best video card for both Premiere and AE on an iMac?

    I remember seeing that one card works great with Premiere but then AE doesn't like it as much for 3D.
    I have Premiere CC but only CS5 for AE. I might subscribe to AE CC if it's worth it.

  • What is the best video card that will physically fit in my hp all-in-one...

    I have an HP 23" b010 all in one desktop, which only came with the onboard graphic processor, but has a PCI express bus I would like to install a graphics card on, but I know little of what will actually fit in the weird all-in-one slim body, plus run with this processor...AMD E2-1800 APU 1.7ghz , so, there has to be somebody out there that knows about this stuff...would love to be up and running within two weeks for the release of Simcity 5. Thanks in advance for your responses! 

    Hi,
    Based on the following specs, there is no room for you to put a video card internally.  The PCIe slot may only fit a wireless card.

    You can use USB video card for your machine such as one of these:

  • What is the best video format to edit??

    I have been working with some .wmv files which I just found out are not that great to work with, and could be why CS3 keeps crashing >_<
    I've seen a list of supported formats but I want to know from someone who has experience, what file type overall is the best to work with??
    Thanks for your time (:

    Craig,
    I'll give you the still formats, and possibly the P2 (remember, we're talking CS3 here), but .MOV can be so very many things, and many cause problems, that I'm not sure that I'd go there, on this thread. I was *thinking* video, and just did not give consideration to the stills formats. Is P2 cool in CS3? If so, then you "got me," and I'll fold.

  • What is the best video card for late 2003 PM G4 MDD'?

    I, currently, use an ATI 9600 PC/Mac edition 256 MB card in this Mac.
    It's performance is okay for most things except for 720p video.
    I know it will never be possible for this old workhouse to view and play 1080p video, but I am on the hunt
    For a better card that may get me better streaming and playback of 720p video as well as better/faster capatibilty on
    OS X 10.5.8.

    Does this particular card need additonal power from the power supply?
    Yes.
    If so, where does this plug into?
    Pull it from a hard drive power connector or use a Molex splitter if all are in use.
    Is the MDD power supply able to handle extra powering of a video card?
    Yes.
    the instructions mention using this card with a PCI slot cooler?
    Optional, but due to the MDD being a hot beast not a bad idea.
    Are these cheap and where can I purchase, easily either from electronics chain or internet?
    Cheap and easy.
    http://www.xoxide.com/thermaltake-cyclo-blue-slotcooler.html
    Can this card be used without it or the temps inside the MDD be too high.
    YMMV. Depends on how hot the MDD runs and how far overclocked the X3 is.
    My experience with video cards is , usually, plug and play made for Mac cards.
    This ain't a Mac card. It's a hacked for Mac card. Things are different on the dark side, and usually a lot faster.....
    Can the slot cooler be placed in any open PCI slot?
    Yes.
    Does it have to be near the video card?
    Doesn't matter. It's there to help with the MDD heat issues.
    Where does this plug in to get power to the fan?
    Same as the graphics card with the same answer regarding PSU ability, etc., etc.
    Will I have to move PCI cards around to install the slot cooler?
    Dunno. Ain't seen inside your machine.
    Will this fan make my MDD even more noisier than it is now.
    Add two fans, likely.
    The linked PCI cooler isn't loud, and the X3 is only loud running full tilt.
    The MDD's  regular fans never power down.
    Doe you use CHUD and Nap mode? If not, your wrong.....
    567DFEE3-A0A8-4602-9722-FCFCD76D8837.html
    Need some help from all of you and maybe some procedures and pics of an actual installation.
    You're asking an awful lot, especially since you gave the points to the guys that don't put any work (or money) into this subject....

  • WHAT IS THE BEST VIDEO CARD FOR FINAL CUT PRO and MOTION?

    Hello folks,
    I have found a lot of posts regarding all kinds of troubles with ATI READEON X1900 video card.
    When I talked to people from Apple, trying to decide which videocard to install in new MAC PRO, Ati Radeon X1900 was the one they did recommand for FCP and Motion. So are there any other cards which would actually suite better for Final Cut Studio2, or is Ati Radeon X1900 really the one to go with?
    Thanks for any suggestions,
    Kootenay

    Techreport has some more information on the new 55nm Radeon (X3000) which should be another "mid November" releases, as well as an updated 8800 GT that still is under wraps.
    So seems Intel and everyone else is trying to get new products out before the end of the year, if possible.
    Drivers for graphics controllers may or may not need the work that sometimes seems to plague companies.

  • What is the best video card I can install if I change the power supply

    Right now the processor is i7 2600 which is still pretty fast around 8300 but the video card is a radeon 5770.
    I would like to know could I go to a GTX 780 with the right power supply

    Hi,
    You want to put a Ferrari engine in a Volkswagen and expect to hit top speed?  It's not going to happen.
    You need to size the hardware with your application requirements and then determine if your consumer level motherboard will meet your performance expectations.

  • What is the best video card for my G4/733/Quicksilver?

    I currently have a great 128mg Radeon dual output card but video/graphics (Dashboard, flash sights, etc.) is pretty sluggish. I'm not gaming but I want things to be smooth graphically... especially to utilize the OpenGL. (Don't know really what this means but from what I have read it's important to have a card that utilizes this.) I don't know much about this but would like some guidence. I'm not wanting to spend that much... under $100.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks,
    SB

    Look at:
    <http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/630ATI96G4/>
    Upgrading to OSX Tiger will take advantage of the Core Image support on this board.
    Download and install "ATI Displays 4.5.7" and "ATI OS9 RADEON Update" before you install the card. If you are not using the latest OSX, also install the OSX ATI driver update from ATI.

    If you are running 10.6.8 then you must have bought it 3-4 yrs ago?
    Might want to check the specs and then look at various programs and their requirements as to whether Final Cut Express and ah, you want to import media to an app, not "upload."

  • What's the best graphics card without upgrading PSU?

    I know the K430 JU has a wimpy 280 watt power supply. I don't want to go through hassle of replacing the PSU, due to I won't be able to have the front lights or the top speed shifter working.
    However, I might be interested in getting a better graphics card. Considering the power supply, what's the best graphics card I could use that wouldn't make the system overheat?

    Go here and enter your system details, followed by adding in a graphics card in the range you might like.
    If the wattage is too high, keep decreasing the card specs until you get something that falls in the range of 200-240W. 
    After this, you must check the requirements of the card. Make sure that the +12V rail has enough amperage for your card. My 280W PSU has 18A on +12V. 
    It would be better if you upgrade the PSU to a good branded one, as it would be more hassle with a new video card that refused to run because of an inadequate power supply.Replacing the PSU is quite straightforward, and will save you a lot of problems in the long run.
    The P9 connector is responsible for supplying power to the speedshifter. You could maybe find an adapter, but I'm not sure. By default, turbo is set to AUTO so you shouldn't notice any differences playing in game.
