New Final Cut 7

I do wonder though if it is multicore enhanced since it’s Intel only? But I’m not holding my breath.

Restricting the software to Intel-only probably simply enables a lot of emulation code to be discarded…it would likely result in some speed enhancements even if multicore utilization hasn’t been significantly changed due to simply streamlining the application.

what they mean when they background rendering in compressor.

You can render in compressor while still editing in Final Cut on the same project

I noticed something going through the new Final Cut Studio 3’s pages. All the products, except DVD Studio Pro 4 is being shown on a MacBook Pro. Color 1.5 is being shown on a MBP along with an external display. Is Apple trying to tell us something? Are they saying it’s designed for mobility? What are your ideas?

Just something that caught my eye.

Subliminal Marketing. Its been around for a very long time.

just had a mail to say my order is going to be delivered tomorrow. I’m not mid project and I’ve got a couple of new projects to start that aren’t time critical, so I guess we’ll give it a try!

Have you tried “Search Posts”? Enlightenment may be there.

Was really hoping real-time keying of alpha graphics would become part of RTExtreme.
I can only agree! While we’re at it why can’t we have proper support for a codec like Animation through the RT Extreme engine seeing this is the only decent uncompressed RGB codec around?

It’s crazy we that we can do many streams of video but can’t key in real time. Avid’s been able to do this for years.
Some things just don’t make sense. Like Shake, Motion and Compressor having optical flow technology but Final Cut doesn’t. Why? My workflow in general is:

– Input > Final Cut > Shake or After Effects or Mocha > Final Cut > Output

I’m still forced to solving speed effects in either Shake, Motion or After Effects (I sadly don’t trust Motion, every project I’ve tried to get through that program has been nothing but sluggish performance and bugs).

The entire UI of Final Cut should have seen an overhaul years ago. DVD Studio Pro saw it in version 2.0, Sound Track got it, Motion, Compressor… Why does our editor get the treatment? It looks fairy “patched” at the moment (unless something has changed in 7.0).

Kevin Monahan reports in another thread that the new Pro Res 4:4:4:4 codec will play at full quality in real time with an alpha channel….so apparently we have realtime keying.

[walter biscardi] “Kind of funny we talk about P2 native anyway since it’s just storage device”

Yes, but P2 is so much easier to say than ‘Panasonic’s implementation of MXF’. Doesn’t quite have the nice ring of P2. ;-D
