FCPX on 5K iMac
Spent the day editing on FCP X at a clients office on their new 5K iMac. (Yes I have Clients that use FCPX!)
Very VERY impressed with the speed of FCP X, Zero interface lag, fast renders and that screen!!! It’s convinced me to get one instead of the new Mac Pro.

Why not get both?! 🙂 They each have their place and depending on what type of work you do they each can fill certain niches very well. Both are very nice computers…just depends on what you need the machine to do.

Ha ha, yes I’ll take both!
I’ll used distrusted processing to have the MacPro do transcoding, while I edit on the iMac!

What media hard drives where you editing from? What was the footage format and size?
Dajen Productions, Santa Barbara, CA
Mac Pro 3.5MHz 6-Core Late 2013
FCP X -
It was mostly from the internal SSD, but had some other footage on a USB3 drive

What is the machine you edit on the most vs this 5K iMac?
-
2008 8 core Mac Pro with SSD drive, G-Tech SATA and Radeon 7950, which I know is less than ideal, But I also use an i7 2013 MBP and the 5K felt considerably faster

I thought my machine was the only one featuring distrusted processing 🙂

I do not trust the processing, Sam-I-Am, I do not trust green eggs and ham.

No…distrusted processing has been an Apple feature since at least OS 10.5. Some may argue for even earlier…
