FCP X GPU acceleration?
Was GPU acceleration mentioned in any way at the FCP X “sneak peak” demo?
(I haven’t watched the demonstration yet – any hint either way will be appreciated.)

Premiere. It’s the new Final Cut Pro.
Seriously. The fact that Premiere supports GPU accelerated transfer modes is more exciting to me right now than FCP-X. I’m creeating some very cool cinematic enhancement formulae that can actually play in real time (on a nice box with the appropriate graphics card). It’s like real time After Effects.

[Dave LaRonde] “It was mentioned.”
Could you elaborate on that?

Yes. It uses OpenCL.

Nice sound bite. Adobe will love you for it. 🙂

I was hoping they demoed an R3D or multi-layered H264 timeline that would hint at GPU acceleration – but alas, no. Oh well.
Thank you Dave.

Right off the top, they said 64 bit, Grand Central Dispatch and Open CL support … that means a lot of things, amongst them that the GPU is used.

The technology foundation in FCP X is second to nobody’s. It’s stunning what they are doing under the hood IMHO.

It’s all speculation but MAYBE some of the FCPX goodies will be placed system wide instead? Decoding of codecs on the GPU built into QuickTime for example.
Time will tell!

What do you base this on?
