Apple or Microsoft? I'm not a "fan boy" ... I want the best.
Background: I am retiring in 2 years. I plan to create documentary films involving interviews with people and great location shots. I have never done this before.
I have never used any video editing software. I am quite familiar with MS Windows and Apple having used Windows for ever, and Apple / MacOS, iPhone, iPad for the past 3+ years daily at work.
I have heard great things about Final Cut Pro and I know it is only available for the MacOS.
I know how to build my own computer, and I could build a kick-ass box with tons of cores, memory, and SSDs. Money is not a big concern for me. But the MacBook is supposed to be able to edit video quite proficiently.
Unless you all feel otherwise, I plan to purchase a Canon Mk IV to film in 4K and I want to edit in 4K.
Please... I don't want to start a war between the Apple and Microsoft worlds. I like them both. But I could build something quite spectacular. But that would prohibit me from using Final Cut Pro.
Your thoughts?
