Re: Video Card for MAC when editing RED footage in FCP

Chris,

The simple answer is that you don't need a video card to edit RED. It works in the same way as when you edit any other project. Of course, if you want to view on a broadcast monitor then you will indeed need a video card.
There are so many different ways to work with RED in post that you really need to have a clear idea as to how you will go about it before you start. This appears to be what you're doing, so good on you for not diving in blindly. The advice that most people give, and I agree, is to work backwards - i.e. how will this be delivered? Next, determine how you want/need to edit - offline/online or online throughout? There are advantages and disadvantages to both.
As Russell mentioned, have a read of the RED Final Cut Studio Whitepaper. It's very informative.

Good luck,
Alex Elkins
