Windows or Mac

[Svein Berger]

Steve, which version is best. Mac or Windows 64-bit?

[Steve Grisetti]

That's impossible to say, Svein. And, in fact, trying to answer it could start a war!

Though, in my experience with version 10, the 64-bit Windows 7 version is the best combination of features of performance. (The Mac version still includes a reduced set of effects and transitions.) Though the Mac version opens more quickly and runs a bit more efficiently on the same hardware.

So, personally, my preference is for the 64-bit Windows version. But only based on the fact that Adobe has chosen not to include key features like Chroma Key, Green Screen Key and Blue Screen Key in the Mac version.

Thank you, Steve.
I've downloaded the windows 64-bit trial version, and it really is much faster than previous versions.

I try it a bit more before I decide to upgrade from Pre9.
