I am planning to upgrade from an iMac G4 to a G5. I love the one I have but it won't be adequate for the work I want to do with video as I move into using Final Cut Pro. Have any of you had experience using Final Cut Pro with the iMac G5? I'm aware that a dual processor Power Mac is what I...

As a non-pro (high end amateur) who is new to video editing, a few of you have convinced me to still start with Final Cut Pro. I now need to decide between that package alone vs. Final Cut Studio.

I'm getting ready to upgrade from a SONY TRV 900. I'm debating between the Panasonic DVC 30 and the DVX 100. I need good image stabilization. The combo of a slight hand tremor and lots of travel videography where a tripod would be a hindrance and classroom videography where it would be a...
