    Nah I was joking about the bitterness. The lack of competition certainly doesn’t seem to have done them any favours. Is Shake still around and viable? And where does Combustion stand these days?

    Oof! Such bitterness..

    Yeah I did experience the problem of AE seeing the virtual hyper-threading cores as real cores but managed to turn off HT with the Xcode thing or whatever it is.

    I must say I’m having more luck rendering to image sequences, as I read somewhere that 3/4 processors all adding sequential frames to a 2 gig quicktime file means ridiculous overheads which would explain some of the disk access.

    Trouble is that you then have to reimport that sequence and render out a movie file so there’s not much saving on time there.

    I guess we are in a transition time between OSes and applications. Fingers crossed CS5 sorts it out. I might try CS4 on my boot camped Windows 7 and see if there’s any difference.

    Ah thankyou. For a moment there I thought Apple had shipped me a dual CPU machine by mistake! Dream on…

  • I’ll give it a try, thanks.
