The only thing Apple has left going for it at this point in the pro video market is the ability to encode video using the Apple Pro Res codec, which is an amazing codec. But other than that, they have totally abandoned the pro market. Final Cut X was not up to the job of professional editing when released. The trashcan Mac Pros are terrible for pros because you 1) can't install internal PCIe cards like BlackMagic Decklink cards 2) can't install desktop GPUs, 3) Can't install multiple internal hdds. PCs are just so much cheaper / more powerful / more expandable and Adobe Premiere is basically a Final Cut Pro replacement. There's not much reason to use a Mac for pro video anymore.
