I dunno. It's not my bailiwick. I do know lots of pro editors use Macs, but I think they use DaVinci Resolve (not Final Cut Pro). I'm interested in finding out what you use for it.

I've been using Macs for all kinds of stuff, since 1986, so I can definitely state they get work done.

I'm being sarcastic here.

But I still strongly believe that Apple hates pro users because they don't make as much money and because they get in the way of serving laymen. The Aperture fiasco, the Final Cut Saga, the Xcode war of attrition and the never ending chain of failures with MacPro - all suggest that I'm right.

Good on ya. I'm not interested in fighting about this stuff. I've had people hating on me for using Apple since the 1980s. It gets a bit old. Sort of like high school popularity contests.

I'm an exclusive Apple user for a couple decades so I'm not fighting here :) just acknowledging the fact that Apple has some deficiencies

Fair ‘nuff.

As an Apple developer, since then, I have been incandescent with rage at Apple, many times.

Guess I’m a walking demonstration of Stockholm Syndrome (at least, that’s what I’ve been told).

All companies have deficiencies in the tech world. However, I would rather be in Apple’s position today, in comparison to Intel or Microsoft, particularly over the last 20 years.

And I definitely feel the pain with Aperture, not making it to Apple Silicon.

Video editors use high-speed network storage.

How much internal storage do you use for your full feature video editing, vs attached/network attached storage?
