Or was he……?

June 21, 2005 at 1:35 amMy understanding of Final Touch is that it relies a GREAT deal on the GPU. You saying it doesnt David? Guess I can ask Wednesday NIght when they demo at the lafcpug meeting.

June 21, 2005 at 1:56 amYou’re right, it does rely heavily upon GPU. We’ve been using it on 4:4:4 material (and on SD, HD 4:2:2 stuff). Isn’t as realtime as we’d like, even for SD material, & we’re running a Radeon x800.
You know, we should do a demo when we finish our CG feature.

you are correct Mike, Final Touch Does rely on GPU performance, and it will only install with 3 video boards, ati’s x800, x850, 9800xt.
It’s going to blow you away, being able to do davinci level color correction on a Mac. Works directly with FCP via xml. FT is the final part of the FCP workflow, a truly professional caliber color corrector and finishing tool.

We were early beta testers of the 2k product. Currently using it in a production environment w/ deadlines, etc on a CG-heavy feature shot at 4k and mastered to HD. Our experience has been a bit trying w/ overall stability, reliable XML handling back & forth, predicable precise secondaries, overall responsiveness during grading and actual “realtime” frame rates. Have you had this experience?
We’re encouraged that Silicon Color keeps improving the stability of their product & when they work these bugs out it will be an exceptional, affordable DI solution.
