Motion Not Upto Snuff

[Allan White]

I just read last night that the Motion 3.01 update is supposed to address the Kona output issue. (more here)

I’m not convinced, based on some other reports, that Motion is going to effectively utilize all 8 cores in normal use (though it would in rendering, I bet quite well). To me, it’s all about how snappy it is when I’m creating stuff – rendering I defer until the last minute.

I would bet that multicore utilization will be greatly improved with Leopard, based on its new CPU scheduling code. Soon!

I just played with Motion 3.01 on my new Quad 3Ghz – not butta, but it’s pretty smooth with 3D and HD material. It’s going to be fun to play with!

Thanks for the feedback on the new system.
