Luckily for me MSI Gaming contact me to ask if I wanted to try out one of their new 4K editing configurations. Windows itself wasnвЂ™t a big concern for me as I was only going to edit with Adobe suite programs which work, more or less identically. I loved the solid feeling I got from my Macs. I had this a bit with my G4 Mac Tower as well as my old PCs. The only real thing worrying me was I found machines with components from different manufacturers a bit flakey in the past.

The idea of trying a PC tower has been something I have been thinking about for some time.

my almost 4 year old Mac Pro is still current for Apple, I just went on their site and priced it upвЂ¦

The Mac Pro hasnвЂ™t been updated since I bought it and there are no components I could upgrade it with apart from maybe getting an external graphics card in a thunderbolt housing. I wanted to upgrade it for a while but there were no real options. FCP X loves them but as I said, FCP X is not for me. The graphics cards I have in it arenвЂ™t the greatest and arenвЂ™t optimised by Adobe. Whilst my 2014 MacPro Trash Can is pretty good it does feel slow at times when dealing with some codecs and effects.

It wasnвЂ™t pleasant! Because the series was made in 4K that also meant a lot more time editing it. When I made the MZED Cinematic Masterclass it was a huge commitment in time in planning, shooting and especially post production which took about 3 months of my life! Stuck in my edit suite starting at my face endlessly on the screen. With FCP X I bought it once and all updates have been free since then. What I donвЂ™t like is paying multiple subscriptions for my various machine each month forever.

I also love the integration of After Effects, Media Encoder and Audition with the Creative Cloud suite. Each to their own and I am not dissing it, it just isnвЂ™t something I like compared to Premiere. I find it really limiting and really dislike the colour correction tools. What about FCP X? Well of course I own it and have tried it many times, I even had to do something with it this week. Knowing an edit system well is essential, whilst you can certainly learn more than (and I used to with Avid/ FCP 7 and Premiere) now I just edit with Premiere.

I was very fast on Avid and Final Cut Pro7, after a couple of projects with Premiere Pro I was also very fast with that. It was then that I switched to Premiere Pro 5.5 which felt very much like a continuation of FCP but it did feel more like a Windows app. NLE editing is such a joy compared to tape to tape and I took to it like a duck to water.ДЇinal Cut Pro has been a joy up until they stopped making it with version 7. I learnt to edit tape to edit 20+ years ago followed by Avid (this was on dedicated machines) and taught myself Final Cut (version 1) on my Powerbook. I have never liked Windows, hated viruses, hated the clunkiness of it all compared to Macs. I have also bought quite a lot of Windows laptops, but never a desktop since that first PC. Since then I have bought so many different Macs at least 3 different iMacs, a Powerbook G4, MacBooks, a G4 Mac Tower, MacBook pros, MacBook air and of course my Mac Pro trashcan.

When OSX came along, whilst it was flawed for a while it was a wonderful experience. Not that long after I got my first Apple computer, the Mac Cube along with an iBook. Ever since then I have been buying more and more expensive computers a Commode 64, Amstrad CPC 128, Commodore Amiga and then I got my first PC for dial up internet.

Editing is my biggest consumer of time since I got my first computer for games (a Sinclair Spectrum) back in 1982.
