Mac or PC—which is better for creating videos?

Woman with laptop

Aren’t you tired of the Mac vs. PC debate?

I know I am. Unless I’m getting ready to create a bunch of good-quality videos either for my own website or for the video-sharing sites like YouTube, and somebody comes along and asks me why I like my PC better than a Mac. I’m never sure what to tell them.

Mike Koenigs gets this question all the time, and he created a Mac vs. PC video that settles the debate once and for all. He explains:

—The benefits of each system

—The features and options you should look for

—Various brands from which to choose

—What software to get

—Where to get the best deals

This video, by the way, is the same type of video Mike urges you to create and blast out to the video-sharing sites.

    I’ve done both – they are infinitely easier to do on a mac, but hardware and software is usually cheaper on a pc.

    I think it’s more a matter of what type of video your creating. For more complicated videos (special effects), some may find the Mac easier, but both the hardware and software will tend to be more expensive.

    For down and dirty videos (No fancy special effects), I say PC all the way. Both the hardware and software are far more affordable.

    The irony about the cost diferential is that Mac’s now use PC hardware.
