Not sure what to do?
Hello... Here’s what you need to know. You can upgrade your graphics card to something more modern like an RTX or a high-end GTX model. The RX series is still supported, so it should work if you choose the right one. Your current GTX 1070 isn’t supported by newer Mac systems, but replacing it with a better card will definitely speed up your video editing. Make sure to check compatibility and consider buying a dedicated graphics card for optimal performance.
For one reason I can't display your profile. Your setup looks a bit mixed up when it comes to Mac upgrades. If you own a Mac Pro, make sure the graphics card matches what other Mac Pros use.
I'm not upgrading a Mac... here's my siggy for you: CPU : i7 5820k Motherboard : ASUS X99-A Deluxe RAM : 4x8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX GPU : STRIX OC GTX 1070 Case : Rosewill STAR PREDATOR Storage : 4, 5, and 6TB Toshiba X300's; 240GB Toshiba OCZ; 980 Adata SP550 PSU : Seasonic G-750 Display(s) : Acer K272HUL; ASUS VX248H Cooling : Corsair H60 Keyboard/Mouse : CM Storm Devastator Blue Sound : Logitech z313; AKG Y50 Black Operating System : WinX Pro Again, it's gonna be a Hackintosh, which is completely LEGAL under their terms of service.
Looking to work with Mac for video editing? Final Cut Pro isn't free, and while AE offers Motion at $49 for titles, it's limited in scope. Adding plugins brings the cost up to match AE, but performance suffers. Consider Sony Vegas or Adobe CC as alternatives.
It's due to a small gap in their 236-page EULA—it really doesn’t work well. I don’t want to pay over $2,000 a year for Adobe CC when I can buy a $500 plugin on Mac. Plus, I use Vegas now and it’s great, but rendering a seven-minute clip takes way too long (up to two hours on my 20-core Xeon, nearly an hour on my i7 5820K). Overclocking didn’t help at all.
I can highlight this gap and explain how it bypasses the stated restrictions.
The EULA clearly states you don’t own the software, only a license tied to Apple devices. This means the license doesn’t apply outside Apple hardware, allowing overrides where the restriction isn’t enforced.
It's not Apple's software when a user uploads the uncompressed 12.6 TBs and modifies the kernels and code. That way, it transforms into UNIX, which remains the open-source foundation for Mac. This rebranding happens because of a flavor change. It mirrors the same reasoning Linus used when he adapted an idea from Red Hat.
There exist open source parts of OSX alongside proprietary elements. The complete software framework that constitutes OSX isn't entirely open source. They also don't rely solely on the GPL; they possess their own Apple open source license as well as the Apache license. This is outlined in my Mac license: Their goals are explicit, and restrictions are clearly communicated—you can't run MacOS on non-Apple hardware. Any loophole would have been exposed in the Pystar court case.
I've attempted to communicate with the Gurus, but they seem to be resting. It's possible this community remains active, which is why I reached out for assistance.
