OK – definitely need a new computer. My five (???) year old Macbook is struggling to process high definition video. I’ve worked on some projects before…but short ones.

This current project – a series of interviews on camera with quite a bit of titling – is rendering hell. And to make it even more of a challenge, I’m trying to condense 3 to 5 minute finished files to email-able size. Ouch…takes about an hour each and even then final size is sometimes too big to include in my email.

Technology is moving so fast that if you sneeze (or snooze as in my case) you’re left in the dust. Just hope I don’t get any breakers…doubt if I could turn them around in a reasonable amount of time.

Sigh…
