… how you arrived at a Big Mac Index (or BMI) of 4.25 - please explain. 😕 😊

iMovie, in the German AppStore (all taxes incl) : 13.99€

Big Mac, nearest McDonalds: 3.29€


13.99/3.29 = 4.25 (estm.) .......


so, in MY country, I do have to pay just four-and-a-quarter BigMac for iMovie.


actually, some large retailer sells 25€-iTunes gift cards for 20 ...

means, just about 67 BigMacs for FCPX!

(which is my 2y average ... in hamburgers)

to purchase a forthcoming MacPro Cube² in milk-shakes would mean ....... 😝



speakin' of 'quarter 'burgers', it needs this classic:

Body Mass Index - yes I'm starting to notice a slight pot belly starting (not enough exercise and spending too many hours in front of a Mac - but not a Big Mac!).


Yes, you can save heaps by cutting down on things like coffee, particularly if buying at cafes or coffee shops! But we all need some little luxuries in life. I'm just enjoying my 2nd cuppa tea for the evening (just after 10pm here).

Yes, I've been playing with Final Cut Pro X lately, but don't have Motion as yet. I'm not as adventurous as you Karsten!


Unfortunately, I've had some problems with FCP X lately - probably due to my vintage Mac. At AppleMan's suggestion I turned off background rendering, which seemed to be causing a slowdown. But when I turned it back on it wouldn't complete the render. Just stopped then hung after a short time (as did an export). Also caused my Mac to hang. I had to shutdown and restart numerous times until most of the rendering was done (in between crashing). I ended up deleting some of the effects and titles, and a closing sequence. Then I exported the file as ProRes 422 and imported to iMovie as AIC in order to finish the project. I've had issues using ProRes 422 in iMovie so stayed with AIC this time (although the issues may have been circumstantial or coincidental - can't be sure).


So, before delving into Motion, I need to get FCP X working better. That's why earlier I mentioned (tongue in cheek) that it would be nice to be able to upgrade to a new MacBook Pro by saving money on forgoing Big Macs and coffee etc. 😟
