Frequently asked
MacBook or Windows for video editing? +
Start with the applications, codecs, plug-ins and peripherals your work needs. Compare tests of those workloads on the exact memory and storage configurations you are considering.
Do I need a calibrated monitor? +
For work where consistent color matters, check the intended output color space and the display calibration workflow. A panel type or editorial score alone does not establish color accuracy.
USB or XLR mic? +
USB can simplify a single-microphone setup. XLR requires a compatible interface or mixer. Check monitoring, gain and connection requirements for the complete setup.
