Imac 2017 Or Oldr Mac Pro For Editing

Hey, how are you guys doing? I'm a video editor (starting out) and beginner music producer. I work with Adobe CC programs.

Im looking to buy a 2017 27 inch iMac. I have a budget of about 2700€ / 3000$. I'll be crying when I spend it because it took so long to earn that money but hopefully the new iMac will will bring me more joy in return. Probably wont do much or no 4k editing for now. Did a lot of reading and I think the general consensus is: 4,2 i7 7700K = by far best performance but loud and hot 3,8 i5 7600K = Hotter than 7600 but cooler than i7 3,5 i5 7600 = sweet spot 3,4 i5 7500 = for the regular consumer I thought about getting the follwing configurations: 3,5 i5 7600 8GB RAM (will upgrade in future) 256GB SSD (only OS, applications and cache on SSD. Footage, sound libraries, VSTs on external HDD) Any video editors or music producers here?

What are your thoughts? How can I get the most out of my budget? Thanks in advance. I just ordered the i7 with 2TB SSD.

Will have 40 GB RAMby the time I've installed the extra memory from OWC. I do video editing, not yet 4K but multiple full HD streams/multi-cam. Maybe my configuration is overkill at this time, but I want it to be sufficient for a few years.

Photographer and Sony Imaging Ambassador Manny Ortiz made this 6.5-minute video sharing the top 5 reasons he chose a Dell XPS 15 laptop over a MacBook Pro in 2017 for his photo and video editing. Martin, thanks for the response and your good thoughts. I can see how the Mac Pro fits your setup better. Mine was an old post (Feb 2017) and since then the new iMac Pro is out (at least the 8 and 10 core versions).

With video work, depending on what you do you're either I/O limited or processor-limited. With the i7 and the fast and large SSD, I hope to do alright on both fronts. (The computer isn't here yet, so no performance report at this time.). Hey, how are you guys doing? I'm a video editor (starting out) and beginner music producer.

Any video player app for mac. All you need to do is change the security settings on your Mac. -- Use the TrueFire Course Player: Desktop app (Recommended!) All that being said, we have a new installed player which we recommend all customers use in place of the legacy standalone zip folders. Go into System Preferences and to the Security & Privacy and click allow all apps to run.

I have a top-spec 2015 iMac 27 with 4Ghz i7-6700K and have ordered a similar 2017 iMac with 4.2Ghz i7-7700K. I'm a professional video editor and often use the machine 8-10 hr a day. In FCPX it is not loud and I rarely hear the fans for normal editing. I also have Premiere CC on Mac and it does spin up the fans more, but it probably would do this on an i5 as well.

Anyone can see this by just fast forwarding on a 4k H264 timeline and watching the CPU levels. This is because Premiere does not use Quick Sync on Mac so it results in very high CPU levels for basic operations. This is a Mac forum but as said, if you'll be using Premiere I really don't see the advantage of using a Mac. It's the same same editing software, has the same interface with the same features on both Windows and Mac. On Windows you can get a more powerful, less expensive machine to help compensate for the lower efficiency of Premiere vs FCPX. I think Premiere on Windows uses Quick Sync to some degree (Adobe says it does) but I have not tested this.
