Top HD video editor for Mac OS(Lion included) 2012

"Hello! I am trying to comprehend the requirements of HD video editing. I would prefer to go with as low cost as possible, but I also don't want to leave out something I could have gotten now for a couple of hundred and shall be missing in a couple of years.

I am debating between the smaller iMacs (latest model) - that much I have managed to narrow down. I know many would recommend the larger screen, but since I am used to 13" screen, 21,5" shall be a big leap already and I have decided it shall be enough (I can always get an extra screen, right?). However, performancewise I would love to get some advise from people that actually have done HD-editing." from mac-forums.com
