December 15, 2005 at 9:06 pmYou’re probably looking for a program called Final Touch, or Final Touch HD.

December 15, 2005 at 9:17 pmProgram is Final Touch HD and retail price is $4,995 I believe. I just ordered it myself.
Very strict requirements on the graphics card which must be an ATI and I believe only the x800 series is approved for use with it. Be sure to read the requirements carefully before ordering it to ensure your system can run the software.

It’s a pretty amazing program. Tremendous potential for the FCP workflow.

December 16, 2005 at 5:30 pmWe’ve had FinalTouch HD since May, but it’s biggest weekness at the time was the G5’s host video AGP throughput speed. This should chang with the latest PCIe Macs in conjunction with a *real* graphics card like the nVidia FX 4500 ($2200 a pop). Even better would be to do PCIe stacking of said cards like some Wintell computers can do. Looking forward to seeing what happens next because the app is truly amazing but needs more display power.

It doesn’t run with nVidia cards, can’t even install it. Last I talked to Jon Wood, they were waiting for new ATI cards for the Dual Core PCIe machines.
Unless they’re getting nVidia to write some new drivers to support the product.

December 17, 2005 at 7:40 pmThe current batch of ATI and nVidia cards for the G5 are junk in comparison to the high-end cards found in Wintel machines. When I say junk, I mean JUNK. This is partially due to the G5s lagging on PCIe; no sense in developing high-end cards for an elderly AGP buss system. That would be like AJA making a Kona card built for the NuBuss system, LOL.
The high-end nVidia cards like the FX 4500 wont even work on a Mac, period. They’ve only been developed for the Windows side since Wintel has always been better on the 3D/OpneGL front for years (our 3D animation infrastructre, including the render farm at my facility always has been and always will be based on Wintel). nVidia just needs to finally write drivers and it’s good to go. Since the new PCIe Macs are a real thing now, I don’t know what the hold up is on both nVidia and ATI’s side of the fence.
I could pretty much guarantee that if nVidia had drivers for their high-end cards, like the FX 4500 for the Mac, that FinalTouch HD would instantly be compatible with it. 😉 I’ve spoken with Jon Wood as well in detail about the need for PCIe for use with FinalTouch HD long before PCIe was announced for Macs. PCIe is the gateway for FinalTouch HD to shine on a whole new level. Just a matter of time! =)
