FCP 6 will it support cluster rendering?

[Tom Wolsky]

Any body who knows can’t say. If they worked for Apple, they’d be immediately fired, and properly sued as well. Anybody betaing for the product couldn’t even tell you they were, or they’d be toast.

All the best,

ok, what are the chances of it showing up as a feature?

[Scott Hayes] “ok, what are the chances of it showing up as a feature?”

Ok, did you not read Tom’s post? Nobody that can speak publicly knows anything about FCP 6 so nobody knows what the chances are.

NAB 2006 should give us some answers if Apple is ready to show the product.

YEs all this will exist in FCP,

just not yet.

I have a direct phone line to Steve Jobs and he tells me things I can only repeat when I am not awake. I am sleep typing at this moment.

Things like FCP will rule the world one cluster at a time.

Ok now the only thing we know about any future release of FCP is that there will always be rumors that get started and eventually maybe 1/3 of them might be true.

If you like you may want to start a rumor about clusters (just don’t do it here on the cow) and see if your wish list comes true at NAB or later.

hey, i just wanted to know if there are some rumors. hypothetically, let’s say it does appear,
which would be a good tower to accompany a dp2.0 G5 to help with renders, in lieu of
going out and dumping 3K on a new quad, intel or G5.

There are plenty of rumor sites out there, we don’t run rumors on the Cow. Those threads are generally pulled from the Cow as they’re not very useful to the community. Factual information is what you need to make educated decisions on workstations and workflow.

Hypothetically speaking the best tower will be the new G.i.6, which is the new intel based mac with a 5ghz octal core processor. It will scream through your renders faster than a speeding bullet and leap tall buildings in a single bound. Oooops! there goes my job at Apple-:(

[Kevin Monahan]

i’d wait until after NAB to make any decision. Suppose they did have cluster rendering for FCP. That does not mean that the G5 and the Intel Mac will work together. I’d wait awhile and practice ways to reduce your rendering time – like previewing fx and only rendering when you walk away from your Mac. You know, like After Effects artists do.
