Mac's are fucking HELL to do video editing and graphics on... Just get a good Windows based pc :)

Been using iMovie HD at college, but we will be using Final Cut on our next project. I shouldn't base my opinion on iMovie alone, but it has been really fucking tedious to use despite it's simplicity. Everything seems to be fucking up; iMovie randomly duplicating clips, letterbox disapearing, and it taking alot more time than it should to render a black title screen, with white text amongst a list of other things. It also like to put all your clips into the trash on occasion..fantastic.

Then you've got the problems with the actual OS it'self - top notch machines somehow fucking up and freezing every time you do something as simple as applying a layer in photoshop , giving you that "mystical" fucking colour wheel.

If only my college had good window's machines :(

I'd get a PC (or upgrade your current one). Mac Pros start around 2x your budget. Unless you're a big fan of Final Cut Pro, in which case you haven't got many options...
