how is the timeline responsiveness with pro res? will she run real time with 1080p with a bit of CC thrown on and stuff?

OK without CC, add CC and it’s not great at full res, not so bad at 1/2 res, nowhere near as good as FCPX CUDA will probably make the difference though.

Have you downloaded the trial yet?

yeah, but that’s the killer here – I’m going to be on a second hand i7 imac 27″ with thunderbolt. that means no openCL Adobe spec, or Cuda.

Lots of people here are going to get crummy performance because the app doesn’t recognise the GPU for acceleration. Its going to feel, a tiny bit weird dropping my NLE down to half res like I do in AE. that still feels somehow wrong.

I’m waiting on the email for the freebie 5.5 to 6 upgrade like chris and the others. Plus I don’t think this lot is going on my lappie. CS 6 I think will have to wait for the imac, and I won’t have that for a bit yet…. I will be engaging in some delayed gratification.

I know what you mean. I just XML’d my PPro ProRes sequence to FCPX and it runs considerably better, I can add primary and secondary CC with very little slowdown.

I will just stress again though I have no CUDA!

yeah, the CC with masks performance of X on bog standard iMac hardware is nothing short of stellar – I adore the masking setup, and it is ridiculously fluid and fast. Its one of the things that breaks my heart looking at X. some things they got so incredibly right – permanent CC attributes was one of them.

Its going to be interesting to see how people feel about premiere performance on existing near new mac hardware, outside of the few specified laptops. If its cruddy it’ll raise questions. Adobe did spend an awfully long time brewing all the realtime architecture on a PC… for a PC. Apple hardware has been completely ignored for nearly a half decade now – and that’s the entire FCP base.

be dead interesting to see how this plays out.

If you’re curious about performance on really old hardware, check out my new article which just went up this afternoon. It’s true I have to dial down the res to get it, but as long playback is real time, I’m happy and can work just fine.

Yes, but on a POSITIVE note, you’ll have a source viewer that lets you set PERSISTENT in and out points, and you won’t have to worry about the possible irreversible corruption of your project, or, EVENT, or whatever the heck they’re calling it over there… 😉
