Final Cut Pro X – Reflecting on Six Years

Well ok but you also said
If you are a small production company, up to a large business,
subscribing makes more sense for accounting and tax purposes.I just don’t think that’s true. It doesn’t make ‘more sense.’ You can
deduct the costs of either one. There is no advantage at all and
neither one ‘makes any more sense.’ They are both a tax write off.
I guess if you are a company who is making a lot of money, CC may
be better as you are spending MORE and therefore you have a BIGGER
write off, maybe that’s what you meant??Gabe Strong

[Oliver Peters] “Naturally if we go down that route, then Resolve (at free) becomes the best option.”
Exactly. Only that was never a part of the discussion. ????

p.s. no idea what’s going on here, but I’m only getting email notifications of maybe HALF the responses here. Extremely annoying. Only seeing this one, as many others, by pure coincidence. ???? Oh well.

Same here. And not just this thread. A COW issue, I guess.

Yes. Completely thread independent. ????

[Robin S. Kurz] “Or are you suggesting that putting everything you have inside your machine is the much more preferable configuration?”
Sorry. Just saw this. Threading issue again. Yes, to some people it is.

[Oliver Peters] “Threading issue again.”
I know. Wrote this (what feels like) two days ago and am only getting it myself now also. ???? This forum needs some serious updating (aside from that issue).
[Oliver Peters] “Yes, to some people it is.”
Which? Makes no sense to me whatsoever. Even if you’re NOT working with others (in which case it makes even less sense), having everything cooped up inside a single machine it just nuts. Aside from that having absolutely NO performance or other advantages (anymore), if that ONE machine goes down you’re screwed twice over even if you have a perfectly working machine right next to it. Especially if it doesn’t support INTERNALS as the original does. What are you going to do? Have everything external from the get go, then it’s a simple UNPLUG and PLUG and you back in the race within minutes.
A realization that the guys from “Adobexit” appear to have had as well, if for other, but probably even MORE valid reasons… understandably:
“We went from having numerous internal drives in one large workstation PC to relying solely on many (USB 3 and Thunderbolt) external drives. This meant that we could collaborate on projects easier by sharing hard drives, and also we could have a simpler workspace with smaller computers and hard drives. We can now also work on a project at our studio and take a thunderbolt drive home in case I need to work over the weekend, whereas before I would have to have copies and duplicates of media, making it much more difficult to keep track of projects and media.”
And I still don’t know which pimping isn’t possible “on the Mac side” either. ????

You asked if some people would prefer this and I answered, yes, some people would. I think it comes down to the cleanliness of the installation. Right now, to expand Apple computers you often end up with a lot of peripherals hanging off of them. I recently worked a job next to a designer/animator. He was doing everything on a MBP with an outboard GPU in a separate chassis. In theory it worked. And when it did work, it worked well. But definitely not without its issues.

I read that article, too. It’s a matter of preference. Most of my clients work that way, too (multiple external drives). Most are trying to move away from that into something more organized, including with shared storage systems.

You can create an internal RAID for a lot less than an external RAID.
[Robin S. Kurz] ” if that ONE machine goes down you’re screwed twice over even if you have a perfectly working machine right next to it.”
How so. You can store the data that is on the internal RAID to single SATA drive. You could also use an external RAID with an internal RAID for back up. What if the external RAID crashes? Nothing is 100% safe.
[Robin S. Kurz] “Especially if it doesn’t support INTERNALS as the original does.”
They have external enclosures that house internal hard drives.
[Robin S. Kurz] ” Have everything external from the get go, then it’s a simple UNPLUG and PLUG and you back in the race within minutes.”
Unless the external RAID crashes.
[Robin S. Kurz] “And I still don’t know which pimping isn’t possible “on the Mac side” either. ????”
Can you add an SD card reader to the Mac Pro without external wires dangling? Can you ad a Blu-ray burner without wires dangling? Can you back up to a single SATA drive without wires dangling? Can you ad USB C ports to the Mac Pro? Can you add a USB 3.1 PCIE card to the Mac Pro? Can you add a 16 core 32 thread AMD CPU to the Mac Pro? The video below will let you know what a generic ATX computer can do that the Mac Pro, iMac or Macbook Pro cannot. Not everyone will want a generic ATX computer but then again not everyone wants a Mac Pro.

It is awesome that Jonathan Morrison can give Linus Tech Tips a shout out. I would like to give a shout out of my own : )
