After Effects/Mac Pro/Rosetta
Hi Guys
Ok so now that the secret is all out about the Mac Pros, we are considering adding another system to our lineup. We’re looking at the 3.0GHz MacPro with 3-4 Gigs of RAM and the ATI card.
My question is that since Adobe UB is still a year away (or less), is it wise to run After Effects and Photoshop under Rosetta until then? Our work with PS and AE is simple stuff with maybe about 8-10 layers of Text, motion of small objects, small filters.
Let’s see, our complex animation so far would be a leaf or a petal falling on white background and hitting water at the bottom with text fading in.
Another complex might be taking a 2 mins clip into AE and Rotoscoping the subject out of the backgroundGiven this, will be ok or am I going to crawl on my system and wait hours before I see the final
Thanks a lot

It’s all relative. If your working on a Quad G5 now, your going to feel a Mac Pro is slow in AE, in FCP it will feel faster. If your working on a lower speed G5 or a G4 it will feel about the same in AE but hugely faster in FCP and other applications that have been keeping up to date with apple’s hardware development.
I’m still working on a G4 and feel its well worth the change. I might even get better at motion which should be great on the Mac Pro.
