No, i don't recommend it. Yosemite will barely work, but video editing and final cut pro, that's A lot.

Yes, I've upgraded to OS X 10.10.2 Yosemite and 8GB of RAM. I don't have experience with Final Cut Pro to tell you if that will run OK.

I can not attest to video editing but I do not see why it would not do well. Multimedia is great that I have used. Streaming movies and videos is fast with no delays. Great for game play.

I don't see how you guys are running it on Yosemite. The tech specs clearly say OS 10.7-10.8. Please teach me your wizardry!!!

DAB, just read your reply, I've been debating the same issue. My plan is for video and photo editing, along with music recording. I think I'll need the extra HD space and the GPU would be handy. I think you just convinced me. But I'm waiting until after August 2010 to see if there are new iMacs being announced.

Hello KC. Your mini would come with more then enough ram to do what you need. You have a 2.5 ghz processor, 4 gigs of ram... and if you manage to outgrow that you can upgrade the ram down the road. I am a graphic artist and work with memory intensive programs, it is very fast and haven't noticed any lag time as long as you don't have too many other programs open in the background. There is also an additional perk that you Mini comes pre-loaded with iMovie software so you can create videos from scratch. :)

If you have an Intel based Mac you will be able to handle the AVCHD codec. If you have an earlier PowerPC Mac (like the dual G5 I have) you will have to transcode to MPEG video to edit. This is a time consuming process as I learned when borrow an AVCHD camera from a family member. More information is available on video forums regarding this concern.

It will take beautiful video. You may be better off with a less expensive camera if you are just learning. iMovie or Final Cut works like magic.

Thank you for your inquiry. Based upon the system requirements on Apple's site, this item will run the latest Final Cut Pro.

I would have to say yes it would be fast enough (7200 rpm) to edit video. I use it to cut dialogue on feature films and another as a backup.

I edit in Adobe Premiere CC, and from what I understand is, is that Premiere demands much more hardware intensive components to work better. FCPX is a bit more optimized for Macs from Apple, if you're looking to replace this in a Mac Pro/iMac/MacMini/etc, this will be perfect, I have 0 issues with this drive for editing, render speeds are fine, playback is smooth, 0 frames dropped, export is relatively fast. If this is going to be a scratch drive, this larger the capacity, the longer it will work before it goes dead, which is nice. Buy it if you can, or go for Samsung Pro SSD, which are better, but cost more. Hope this helped, message me if you have anymore questions.

Brett , I really haven't used it for photo / video editing. One thing I can say for sure is that it has a decent 2.4 GHz processor and good 4GB RAM with a superfast USB port.If you are comfortable using Win 8 OS (which I think is a usability irritation - pls check how Adobe and other graphics suites work with the new OS) then I think it is probably a decent laptop for the money you would spend.High end graphics editing using Adobe PS also should be possible with the Intel HD 4000 Graphics card that comes with the stock laptop.

Yes, works great with both final cut pro 7, fcpX, and premiere. Check out youtube.com/mgbfilmtv for everything shot with this cam and edited in both final cut pro x and final cut pro 7. Make sure you get a high end SD card. Like the '16 gb extreme pro Sandisk' I love this camera, especially with fcp

I do video conversion/editing a lot and edit time reduced by 50%. Coming from AMD phenom xII 965. Do not know about i5 pfocessor. I spend half the time I used to. I don't play any games.

as for video editing, i would recommend a newer version. though you can get the same software on this model through mac app store

Hey guys, so alexander miller was actually right. You can upgrade to version 10 for free you just need to follow the instructions alex gave above. I hastily returned it though without realizing. Yes, this is a good deal but I ended up getting just the mbox 3 without the full version of pro tools since I've yet to even open pro tools lol. (Still doing everything in ableton live)

Yes, absolutely! Ideally - I would suggest a bit newer, more powerful Mac Pro for Final Cut work - but, this machine will run the application. Please don't hesitate to call our office, if you need assistance on a Mac Pro order! Thank you. 805.745.8587 iPowerResale Group, Inc.

Thomas, I love the camera!!! It's extremely easy to transfer the videos to your PC to edit. I have found that even though the software initially permits "frame to frame" editing, it actually edits in segments on the PC. When transferring to "YouTube" I have lost the last segment, yet, I'm a novice at this. It is possible to edit on the camera directly which I have not yet tried. The camera is new to me and I wasn't yet confident enough that I may loose my videos while editing on the camera. The camera is amazing for far distance shooting, the main reason for my purchase. Hope this has been of help. cj
