Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

My goal is to purchase a 13 inch MacBook Pro to expand my creative capabilities on future video projects. The outcome I expect is the ability to upload and edit today's highly compressed video formats in real time, rather than waiting endlessly for video rendering and transcoding. The measurable outcome should be immediately apparent when uploading and editing highly compressed video codecs in real time, versus the slow and arduous process of rendering and transcoding my dated computer currently puts me through. It will be a huge time saver, allowing me to be much more productive. My final report will include examples and explanations of the MacBook Pro's processing abilities.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I know own and use a MacBook Pro for video and photographic work.
