Mac vs PC for Video Editing: Which is best for you?!

Mac vs PC. PC vs Mac… It’s a debate that never ends, and there’s some fierce opposition on both the Windows and MacOS sides! Inevitably, doing a comparison video like this will stoke the flames and draw the hateful wrath of impassioned ‘fanboys’ on both sides of the fence – but we thought what the hey. We get asked ALL the time whether PC or Mac is better for video editing, so why not throw our hat in the ring and help a few people out in the process!

I’ve been using both Windows and Mac for a long time now. In fact, while I was starting out in Pro Video Production I was putting my IT degree to use building Windows & Hackintosh desktops and servers for clients (and myself). After spending a TON of time on both sides of the fence, there are some BIG differences that you’ll want to consider before deciding on PC vs Mac if you’re editing video.

In this video I run through the key benefits (and detractors) I’ve found of both Mac and PC for video editing!
