  • Avid MC 6.0: Looking good!

    Posted by Brad Bussé on July 15, 2011 at 2:45 am

    .
    Avid MC 6 features revealed.

    New GUI, no loss of features, 64-bit, Kona support, DNxHD 44444, ProRes encoding on both Mac and PC, more Red Giant plugin support, more audio tools. DAMN Avid, good show!

    Anyone know if MC supports Open CL or CUDA? Even if MC 6 turns out to still have stability issues when installed with lots of other applications, I’m thinking with a 12 or 16 core running Lion, you could just run a second Lion install as a dedicated sandbox, and then maybe another one for ProTools, with the rest of your applications on the primary boot install. I may end up back on an Avid.

    More here.

    I want to know if MC6 will support shared filesystem storage.

    If it’s there, I guarantee you can completely turn it off. 🙂

    Oh, well, yeah. I was hoping it could become friendly with shared-disk filesystems (like StorNext). I guess Avid has to make a living somewhere. Still addressing storage like it’s 1989.

    I’ve said this before but I’m glad Apple is bowing out of the pro scene. They don’t deserve to be there. Their ADHD finally got the best of them.

    It’s called “sync locks” and it’s been there for oh, about a decade and a half. And yes, you can turn them off.
