Why a G5 does not work for me

[Richard Brown]

The mentioning of Premiere and a Sony Media converter absolutely makes 
a G5 and Final Cut a non-issue. Premiere is "nice" for what it does, 
but, while it may be in the same state, it is certainly nowhere near 
the stadium where Final Cut and Avid duke it out for nonlinear 
supremacy at the professional level. Were I holding Avid stock, I'd 
pray their networking, storage, audio, and other non-editorial 
divisions would prosper quickly as the principal issues with the Media 
Composer family become pragmatic cost and legacy value in a nonlinear 
world being redefined by Apple.
