DaVinci Resolve 8.1 — now with FCPXML roundtrip support

And I spend more time doing windows OS stuff more than all of our macs combined, which part of my educated decision to stick with MacOS. There’s nothing wrong with my “workflow” it’s all necessary stuff as we ask a decent amount of our network.

I have to, there’s no other way. The system runs fine.

[Jeremy Garchow] I do like the MacOS, flame me for not being pro enough, I don’t care. I am not throwing the baby out with the bath water.

I like MacOS too, but statements like these:

And good luck with Windows. Seriously, you might need a little bit of it.

are just ignorant. This isn’t the 90s, you know.

[Gary Huff] “are just ignorant. This isn’t the 90s, you know.”

Ignorant. That’s a first.

I hope you read the rest of the thread and where I come for when it comes to windows.

Ignorance is not what I base my decisions on.

Have a wonderful day.

What I was responding to was Herb’s statement “..using Windows as a platform for a NLE is a lot less daunting then you make it.” In that context, I believe my friend’s thoughts are right on. IMO, most creative professionals have moved on from these silly platform debates… admittedly there are devotees of every OS, but I think most of us care more about tools, techniques and workflows. If you want to approach the discussion from an IT standpoint, then I suppose there are arguments to be made… but it seems like those things might be better discussed with other IT professionals.

Thanks,

Still have to background transcode this was the biggest turnoff for me.

When I say network, I don’t mean connecting to the Internet, I mean our shared storage network which is a mixture of fibre and Ethernet that has Macs, Windows, and a Linux box attached to it, all for video reasons.

It is because of this, I might need to know a little about each one, and each point of failure. This is all to make sure we can edit video, not watch Internet tv.

It is relevant and germain to this conversation.

[Jeremy Garchow] “germain”

Of course that would be germane.

“When I say network, I don’t mean connecting to the Internet, I mean our shared storage network which is a mixture of fibre and Ethernet that has Macs, Windows, and a Linux box attached to it, all for video reasons.”

I think you’re describing what most of us (probably) think of as IT functions and responsibilities. What I’m getting at (and I think this may have been Herb’s point as well), is that OS choice is much less of an issue for folks with more narrowly defined jobs/roles (editor, motion graphics artist, VFX artist, etc.). If I’m spending more time working in Windows (for example) than After Effects or Premiere, then yes, there is something wrong with my workflow. I think this is probably true for anyone doing creative work in post-production.

Thanks,

I would criticize you for this, if I was any good at spelling. 🙂

Careful there Jeremy, or you’re going to end up as the “Leave Britney Alone” guy of the FCP X forum.
