Leopard+6.02 – success stories anyone?

[Jeremy Garchow]

Excellent work.

No snideness taken or inferred – I hear the “Leopard won’t help you” thing often, but in my case it will. A combo of Automator and and ‘back to my mac’ screen sharing will finally let me leave the house. I’m not expecting full-on realtime with screen sharing (or sound, I guess), but often my notes are “change one shot and send us a QT”. THAT, I can do from my buddy’s house on my macbook whilst having a nice cold brew.

So now I have to learn how to replace a controller card on my RAID if I want to do that. Doh! Guess which company won’t get my biz?

Oh, and on a wireless-n network, screen sharing is virtually realtime. Can’t tell you how cool it was seeing TWO screens (for the dual monitor setup) smushed down to fit on a macbook. Made me a little teary eyed :-).

My angst about the controller not working is somewhat justified to an extent. Lots of people are having problems with Highpoint raid cards (not just the 1820) and the company isn’t giving much in the way of feedback, support, or anything else. Even the 2220 they say to upgrade to is not working correctly. Think I”m gonna take Walter’s advice and try the ATTO out.

Thanks for letting me vent guys!

My experiences with Rocketraid weren’t that awesome, but that was a long time ago.

I now run a Sonnet Raid that uses the same card Walter is talking about.

It kicks bootie.

[JeremyG] “It kicks bootie.”

“bootie?” Is that the new technical term for fast array? 🙂

That’s what the kids are saying these days….

Hello,
I had the day off so imaged my system drive, upgraded to leopard (did 6.02 yesterday).
FCP seemed fine, and the Kona Lhe seemed a lot snappier when i scrubbed the timeline. There used to be a terrible lag, sometimes almost a second difference between computer screen feedback and video monitor playback, but with leopard it seems at most 1/8th of a second out.

The problem is with Motion in FCP. I had to kill FCP process manually on 5 occasions (pretty much every time I tried to play a motion clip in the FCP timeline). FCP would do a beachball freeze after a few seconds of playback. Both pre-existing and newly created motion clips had this problem.

Otherwise capture, editing, audio all seem fine.

Back to tiger it is.
cheers,
Mark.
