The Mac operating system has been used on a variety of architectures, from the Motorola 68000 to the PowerPC 601 to the Intel Core 2 Duo. The latest release of Mac OS X requires a computer with an Intel processor.

Edius only works with the Windows operating system so will not run on Mac OS X. If you have a Mac with an Intel processor (any recent one) then you can install Windows on the Mac and then run Edius. Alternatives that will work with Mac OS X are Apple's Final Cut Pro or Adobe's Premiere.
