[Aindreas Gallagher] “has it really?”
Yes it has, I know it’s hard to hear.
[Aindreas Gallagher] “then we’ve got another company suddenly highly motivated to produce permanent rental extraction for a working lifetime,”
I know it’s painful for you, Adobe should have come in and saved us all from Apple’s casual disregard for editing convention, but they ended up changing things in their own way.
BTW PPro CC is very good, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it became the NLE of choice for all the FCP holdouts.

my ass. hey – I am a lowly corpo guy. you just can’t beat the cheap seats in here. Craig slattery also got support from some beeb cutters in scotland.
but the bit about no X in the walkabout workflow survey is true afaik. that actually is horses mouth.
on the other hand, apparently they’re getting external directorial talent at all levels hitting them with 4-5K capture like its going out of style – that’s apparently a real issue given they can’t control the scenario – and them just after blowing truly crazy money to no effect on the failed digital workflow archive initiative thing.X does seem to do pretty well at 4K with off the shelf hardware last I heard.

[Steve Connor] “BTW PPro CC is very good, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it became the NLE of choice for all the FCP holdouts.”
me neither – I stood outside a pub friday with a long form editor that does factual and has (hello) cut panorama stuff – they had literally just had their first taste of premiere CC.
they were, gods honest, slightly rapturous.
they gave out about the media management – but – broadly and quite genuinely rapturous.
first blush they basically couldn’t believe how good it was. Quite the FCP8 conversation.“I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it became the NLE of choice for all the FCP holdouts.”
me neither – you’d think some basic PR and mild subscription tinkering would completely close out the issue for adobe.https://vimeo.com/user1590967/videos http://www.ogallchoir.net promo producer/editor.grading/motion graphics

“Cutting 4K XAVC all day on it at the moment, plays very nicely on my old 2008 Mac Pro, lots of realtime CC.

I’ve been tempted to try the 7950 or even dual 5770’s but have to wait until I’m done with the shows I’m working on now. I’m on a 4,1 Mac Pro so the off-the-shelf GTX 760 has no issues with the latest CUDA drivers installed. I’m guessing FCPX is better optimized for AMD and OpenCL now though I wonder how this effects all the iMac owners? They’re stuck with nVidia…

If you think Gotham as popularly referred to is Chicago, what does that say about your “facts” on FCPX?

Nolan’s films were filmed in Chicago, little funny I was making. P.S. I am the night.

“Can you run the Luxmark test without getting an error? That was my first clue my GTX680 wasn’t fully working.
The weird thing with some PC nvidia cards is that OpenCL needed to be enabled by patching the drivers if they have more than 2GB of memory. My GTX 570 with 1.2GB of ram never had any OpenCL issues and FCP X ran great.
For my 3GB 680, once I installed the CUDA drivers and added them in the txt docs, AE and PP CS6 ran like greased lightning. FCP X was awful until I patched the drivers. Then after an OS update, I’d have to do the whole thing again. I switched to the 7950 before Mavericks so I don’t know if this was Mountain Lion only.
My rMBP 15″ has the nvidia 650m GPU and runs FCP X great as do the iMacs I work on for clients. What little information I could find in benchmark tests was some nvidia cards have much better OpenCL support than others to favor CUDA capabilities.
Running a single 7950 in the 2008 MP, AE and PP work great and FCP X is a rocket. Other than realtime ray tracing, (which I don’t do) I am doing as well or better than I was with my GTX 680.

With all due respect to Mr. Lackleter, this is an amazing thread. It would be great if people like Mr. Lackleter didn’t spread misinformation so cavalierly, and be overly defensive about it, too.
“Gotham” is just another example.
