cpu usage
I am using FinalCut Studio 2 and noticed that when rendering or processing a file the cpu usage of the 8 cores in my current machine mostly is around half.
Can anybody tell me why the MAC doesn’t really use all his power? Or am I on a wrong track here? Any comment is highly welcomed.
cheers …gunnar

The Mac itself can, however FCP currently cannot. Compressor however will use the full potential of the machine.
There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.

hm, as I remember also processing in Compressor the cpu graph (utiliys>activity monitor) shows only half power activity.

Probably because you haven’t set up Qmaster to utilize the all the cores of your processor.
