Which OS is better for video editing, Windows or Mac OS X?

Summary: For a person who have both Mac and PC always confuse with which one should they choose to edit video. Here I give you some suggestions avoid choosing the worse one and make edit work more smoothly.

Most folks will tell you that both can do the job, and that is quite true. Almost all the video pros I know who are using this level of hardware use Macs. You can draw your own conclusion. My experience, as a non-pro who has nonetheless been doing a moderate amount of video digitizing, rendering and editing on Macs and PCs since the mid-90s, is that I can usually do the same amount of work in less time on a Mac. If you're already a pro with most of your experience on Windows boxen, your experience may be different. This depends on what editor you use. For example, Final Cut X will be work better on Mac, while Adobe Premiere have good effect on windows.

Here we talk about how to edit video on window or mac with FCP or Premiere. In generally, almost camera recording video with easy-to-record format like XAVC, XAVC S, AVCHD, MTS, MXF, ect. while the most compatible format for editing in FCP X is Apple Prores, the most compatible format for editing in Premiere is MPEG-2. That is, you just need a video tool to help you convert the incompatible video format to target format for editor in either FCP X or Premiere or other professional editor with it’s best compatible format. 

Here I would recommend you a professional any video to FCP X compatible Apple ProRes converter or Premiere compatible MPEG-2 converter--Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac(read the review). It can provide quite effective solution for you to convert almost all the videos such as Xvid, DivX, MKV, MTS, TiVo, VOB, etc. to Apple ProRes for smoothly editing in FCP X or to MPEG-2 for smoothly editing for Premiere. It also allows you to adjust the video, audio parameter to get a decent output video that you want. Barely several steps are enough(FCP X on Mac as example).
