There is a wave of excitement and confusion over a new tool that more and more agents have discovered ... it's called video.
Now before you say that shooting your own video is too hard, too expensive and anything else that starts with a "too" ... hear me out.
The cost of entry level video cameras is dirt cheap, the software to edit video is relatively easy to use and the return on your investment is huge!
The problem though is which route to take: PC or Mac?
Both have distinct advantages and shortfalls when it comes to video and overall performance.
In this video I dare to offer my opinion and I know it will make some diehards angry .
Before you shell out hard-earned bucks on hardware, watch this video and then make your own informed decison.

Michael,
Very engaging, of course ... because you used high quality video with wery good audio.
I'm with C. Spencer Reynolds- Machead!
Use the tool you have is great advice!
I2 and E2 are also good tips. Also planning of the production beforehand has been a great help in getting the right shots - sometimes you only get one chance.
Look forward to more from Easy Agent.

I was a PC gal until I tried a MAC, have you every used a MAC? Curious because "use what you have" is great advice however when what you have needs to be replaced then what? I have used both a PC for many years and now a MAC for two years. A MAC far surpasses a PC on many, many levels.
Have you ever used a MAC?

Hey Miriam,
Yes I have used a mac and yes they are nice machines.
The point of the video was to use what you have at your disposal and get the job done.
Buying an expensive mac will produce the exact same results as a broken down pc ... If You Don't You Either of Them.
Sloppy success with trump over-planned-inaction every time.
All Good Wishes,
michael

I agree with this. I currently use a PC and I run it pretty hard. I think I'll invest in a Mac next though.
I like the graphics and video programs that macs have as well as the added security against viruses.
Thanks for the video.
