    Hey guys! If your interested in purchasing a MacbookPro I did some testing between the 2014 version with Nvidia graphics and the 2015 version with the new AMD graphics. Tested with both Final Cut X and Premiere Pro CC using both CUDA and OpenCL. Found some interesting results. Hope this helps some of you guys with questions of which one to get as well as which NLE software to use. If this would help someone with a question I’d appreciate the share! https://youtu.be/ecqVGeocgSo

    Evil? Maybe, but this is what this forum is for!

    If you really want some entertainment, try and cancel your Adobe CC subscription. https://medium.com/let-s-talk-design/bye-bye-adobe-3c3ba22c4ac0

    It’s been quiet so far, so I’ll start it off. Max, could you describe your testing methodology in a bit more depth?

    I think this is wonderful. I feel we should celebrate all editing systems, each with their own specific charms. They are all special snowflakes.

    Exporting in FCX using compressor, faster encode h.264 1080P = 20mb/s 4K (uhd) = 40mb/s. Ppro using media encoder, CBR (same speed if you use 1 pass) H.264 same bitrates.

    I don’t really know what else to say, same exact files (from GH4, H.264 as .MP4) same effects.

    The test was meant to compare the two laptops, not really for comparing the two NLE’s but interesting results to share.

    out of curiosity did you compare any other QT compression outputs like ProRes?

    Reminds me of when I tried to dump AOL, swore I was going to have a full blown panic attack before I cancelled my account with them.

    Why is it necessary to contact customer support to cancel your subscription? I mean people like Red Giant make it easy to exit out. No questions asked and only a few simple clicks to do so, very much I like. I remember when customers and employees came first, not so sure about that now. At least from what I have seen.

    Just to end this post on a positive note, a corny joke:

    Question: So what does a robot like for a snack?

    Answer: Why he likes assorted nuts!
