[Pristine Pictures] “also consider myself a fluent Final Cut user. I originally began using Final Cut as an inexpensive way to get HD projects done.
On a professional level, I would not consider Final Cut, unless I have an extremely low budget and lots of free time. Final Cut is typically more frustrating than Avid (it’s just not as mature a product as Avid) and from editors I speak with, Final Cut is typically 30% slower on a project, than an Avid. “Geez! Are you sure you are a fluent FCP user? Baah!

[Dennis Kutchera] “They have to match or exceed the media manangement of Avid and come up with a better integrated real time colour corrector.”
Dennis,
maybe you’re right for the CC, but for the media manager… guys, the media manager in FCP is the Finder itself!
FCP keeps all the media organized by project and files have a transparent name that is the name of the clip. Not the messy and meaningless strings of the Avid file names.
I can browse my media from the finder and even reimport in FCP by simply dragging into the bin. I can search them with Spotlight. Simple, useful, elegant. So should I really need a media manager?
Let’s face it. Avid architecture is 12 (or even more) years old and doesn’t benefit of the Apple amazing integration between HW, OS, Application, Quicktime… Only Apple can do this because they do every component, and they do it well.My 2 cents.

“Any ideas?”
Yes, try do do the same on a dual 2.5, I have noticed big differences with respect to dual 2.0 especially on the Dynamic RT performances…
This is not justified by the actual performances of the CPUs. Is this a marketing move to limit “older” machines and force customers to replace their machines sooner than necessary?
A friend of mine noted the same behaviour.Comments on this subject are welcome.

Guys!
How can you write such an incorrect information!
I have tried the following:
32bit TGA with alpha (720×576, the station bug)
Keyed over a background, IT IS REAL TIME
I have tried to blur at max level the background (very CPU intensive process) STILL REAL TIME.Please check that you have FCP selected as render engine in the preferences.
This was possible with FCP 4.5, I expect even more from version 5.
