iMac 27" with the 4GB GPU is definitely a better machine for running Resolve. If you need something smaller and to run on battery, the late 2013 rMBP with 2GB GPU RAM is pretty good.

I'm going to be filming 4k red without a rocket. What FPS can I expect to transcode at and what do you reckon is the best process? Am I better using Cini X to transcode? I just prefer the layout of resolve and Im used to it after using Alexa so much.

Thanks in advance guys your time and thoughts are greatly appreciated.[/TD]
