Re: Considering FC Studio Purchase & Need Some Info

Mark,
I don't think you will get Apple to give you a personal demo, but a VAR in your area would be happy to. On your own time, get an Apple Certified Trainer to sit with you (not just an editor), as they will be able to answer your questions and show you things some self-taught editor would never know. Not cheap, but worth the money. Even better is to take an Apple Certified Class, like for 3 days or more.

IMHO, it is short-sighted to run a professional video post operation on an iMac. If you only see doing HDV (a dying format) for the next 4 years, then go ahead. If you want a system that is flexible and will last you 3-5 years, then do yourself a favor and spend the extra money now.

I also come from an Avid background, BTW.
