new fcp 7
Dear all,
actually I am an fcp 6 user and I am not so happy of its functioning.I am runnig fcp 6 on a mac pro dual quadcore 16gb ram, and I am seeing that none than one or two of eight core have been used during fcp, dvd studio pro and compressor elaboration.
My reseller is assuring me that the new version is 64bit native and is capable of using all my mac pro power (processor and ram).
Is it true?
Thanks in advance

Not yet. Who knows after the 64 bit OS Snow Leopard is released. Until then FCP7 is still running on a 32 bit OS and doesn’t properly address all cores as far as I understand.
Perhaps the newest Compressor does?

Apple would have to be pretty short sighted to release an update to FCP this close to their first fully 64bit OS without building full 64bit support into it.
They are not that short sighted are they????

I will be amazed if they didn’t plan for 64 bit & multicore support with Snow Leopard.. but we shall see in about 2 months or so…
In the mean time, look into using quickclusters for Compressor to be able to use all of your cores – makes a HUGE difference for most encoding processes.
