I'm = giving some lectures on motion perception. I've done some appropriate = animations in AE, going up to 1080/60p. Clearly I need them to play back = at full speed with minimal artifacts.

We've just bought a batch of the latest = MacBook Pros, would they play 1080/60p on ProRes422 at full speed to the = Thunderbolt port? Presumably 'Keynote' would allow me to present my = animation collection as required?
Any thoughts from the vast = experience on this Forum would be much appreciated!
