    A bit rough to read: “”additional equipment was used for final rendering of 3D content” if you are selling a 15.000 euro computer. But maybe that’s incorrect expectations from me, as someone who’s not home in the whole 3D world.

    That’s pretty normal even for smaller productions. No matter how fast your workstations is, final renders are almost always sent out to a render farm. Inexpensive online services have made this practice even more common.

    [Oliver Peters] “IOW, you are saying that Apple can take FCPX users for granted.”

    Nope, just that they’ve just taken really good care of us by ruthlessly optimizing our software for their hardware already.

    We’re good.

    Happy for them to turn their attention toward other users.

    [Oliver Peters] “At least one of the BTS videos showed a Premiere Pro interface on screen.”

    Also, with the announced “maybe modular” MacPro revision coming out at some point in the future, Apple has an obvious reason to keep as many current MacHardware editors sticking around as possible, regardless of their software choice.

    Some day, when that machine comes out, it’s a totally open question whether it runs non-Apple software at levels that lag, equal or outpace wherever the industry is at that point regarding workflow speed.

    Untill then, keeping “you can run Premiere, Resolve, and AVID on this hardware too!” messaging out there seems like a no-brainer to me.

    FWIW
