I'm not new to Pr. I've been working with it on a MacPro 8-core. Before I was using FCP7. Pr is much faster, but much of that speed is because I have a CUDA card.
I just got a job to work on site doing some cutting on an MacBookPro4,1. Last two years, I used the same laptop, but was using FCP7. Footage was DVCProHD / P2.
I was hoping people who've done a significant amount of editing on a MBP with both FCP7 and Pr CS6 can give me their insight as to how the two compare on a laptop.
I will be on a tight deadline, and can't afford to get tied up rendering or exporting. FCP is a known entity. Pr isn't, to me, on a job like this.
Any relevant input will be appreciated. Thank you.
