The Mac OS X operating system is the preferred platform for creating and editing videos and other media. Apple computers have had a long and proud tradition of being the de facto standard when it comes to image manipulation and video editing. Many high-budget Hollywood films and television programmes are edited and retouched using Mac computers. Throughout the entertainment industry, Macs can be found everywhere that creative professionals practice their craft. While there are many good reasons why one would opt for a Mac when editing videos, the following factors are usually the biggest selling points for using a Mac.

Robust, Graphics-focused Hardware
During the last few years, Apple computers have demonstrated a renewed commitment to delivering the most powerful computing power possible. Take the latest Macbook Pro, for example. It features an AMD Radeon HD 6770M GPU boasting 1GB of GDDR5 video memory. Paired with 4 to 8 GB of speedy DDR3 RAM and Intel’s Core i7 series of CPUs, it makes for an extremely capable notebook PC. Video editing requires substantial computing resources, which Macs provide in plentiful amounts. The iMac desktop computers are more impressive, featuring even more advanced components and a spacious 27” screen.

Impeccable Display Quality
Apple computers are renowned for build quality and attention to detail. One of the most obvious manifestations of that design philosophy are the brilliant screens one finds on all Mac devices. Mac notebook and desktop displays support 1920 x 1200 pixel screen resolution by default, providing the level of crystal clear picture quality that video editing professionals need to perfect their film clips. Editing video at a high level requires a machine that’s capable of delivering the best possible video quality on a large surface. For that reason, iMacs and 17” Macbook Pros are extremely popular when it comes to intensive video editing jobs.

Superior Software and Tools
The built-in video editor of Mac OS X, iMovie ’11, is in and of itself a powerful way to edit videos quickly and easily. But it’s hardly the only option. One of the major advantages Apple has over competitors when it comes to attracting video editing specialists is Final Cut Pro X. Final Cut Pro runs exclusively on the Mac platform, and is considered the gold standard in terms of video editing software. And lest we forget, Adobe’s Creative Suite started out as a Mac-only image manipulation program in the form of Adobe Photoshop. Though it’s now available for Windows, Adobe’s Creative Suite is especially well-suited to being used on Mac computers.

The Last Word
Whether the machine of choice is a Macbook Pro, an iMac, or even an iPad, media professionals overwhelmingly prefer Apple computers when it comes to video editing. That’s an established fact. Despite the high initial upfront costs, Macs save media professionals countless hours of frustration by providing them with the best tools and hardware on which to work. The increase in productivity that media professionals gain from using Mac devices more than offsets the added cost of Mac hardware. Most importantly, amateur filmmakers and casual users can just as easily use Apple computers for video editing to produce stellar results.

During one of the worst financial periods on record books, data centre providers like Telecity Group are bucking the trends and providing investor comfort. Analysis over the second quarter of the financial year shows that companies that are concentrating their efforts on developing and expanding their cloud computer strategies are seeing a growth in their share value.

Telecity Group is well placed within the marketplace as customer understanding and demand for cloud-based computer systems increases. Over the last year its stock value has increased by 16%, and this sits well alongside its American counterparts such as Time Warner Cable, Terremark and Navasota who have all seen their market value climb over the last 12 months.

There is a greater inclination across all sectors for companies to move away from hosting their own data centres, servers and programme development and to plug into remote, cloud-based systems.

Telecity is increasing its portfolio in this respect and is now working alongside a number of high profile corporations in hosting its data storage and software processes. Those who are working under the Telecity banner include the likes of Walkers Crisps and Facebook, with Transport for London also looking to expand both its current client list, as well as its premises and the services that it offers.

Companies are more able to concentrate on their core business activities and leave the whole process of IT management and development to a third party. They are finding that it is more economical to concentrate on customer expectations and requirement, leaving the non-revenue generating elements of IT communications in someone else’s hands.

The markets continue to realise that in many ways the use of remote servers and storage are what companies are increasingly turning to, to manage their IT systems. This can only be good news for the likes of Telecity whose expansion plans look like bolstering their position as a market leader.
