The future of FCP

“You don’t really “get the same performance” editing native R3Ds. I can’t STAND editing when playback goes all blurry like Adobe has demo’d.
I don’t know of an editor worth their salt that “doesn’t mind” blurry playback and good quality on the freeze. It throws me out of my pacing. Do you?”
If by performance you mean 24 or 30 fps, then the answer is yes, you do get the same performance.
If you mean by clarity of image, then consider this. With 2K material at quarter resolution, you’re getting 500 lines of resolution, better than SD. With 4k material at eighth resolution, you’re getting 500 lines too.
Of course, I’m stating the obvious in saying that if you want to adopt a workflow with the RED proxies in Premiere Pro, we’ve been able to do that for some time.
In the end its a choice for the user and neither one is wrong. However, CS5 with 64-bit native, with GPU and with fractional playback gives the user more choice within the NLE and within any given workflow. That’s what Adobe is really focused on – delivering good solutions that can work by themselves OR with FCP and AVID.
Be well.

Haha, small world.
“you’re able to use the original R3D media all the time on any system including laptops.”
I was forced to use my 3 year old black MacBook to edit R3D M proxies on set a while back. Set the timeline to unlimited rt, video to dynamic quality, and there you go. You’re editing RED via FW 400 on a 3 year old Macbook. Don’t knock it until you try it. haha.
The proxies in the RDC folders all reference or point to the original R3D’s contained within, so you’re using the original media. Did you think I meant transcoding the footage?

[Jeremy Garchow] “CNET has this.”
Wonder if Apple is going to attend NAB next year. They sure are responding uncharacteristically quick to the rumor mill.
Good.
The other A & A have Apple’s attention. That’s good for all of us running FCP.

Gearing FCP for consumers or even for prosumers makes no sense whatsoever, they already have iMove. Why make another?
Maybe all the buzz will light a hotter fire under their butts to get it out sooner.

Supposedly, prores 4×4 alphas aren’t working either. Oops

Keep in mind the same will most likely apply to FCP in terms of the 64bit deal. Any plug-ins you own for FCP / Motion probably won’t work when / if the application goes 64 bit.
Not a single one of my current AE CS4 plug-ins will work with AE CS5.
Did find that Red Giant Software does have specific pricing for those who just need to update due to CS5 so that is good.Walter Biscardi, Jr.
