[Craig Seeman] “It may mean the replacement is coming soon so they’re not going to promote soon to be EOL gear.”

Only if whatever comes next, if anything, isn’t called “Mac Pro”.

[Craig Seeman] “It’s interesting how Radical Media (Evan and friends) mention Smoke for finishing . . . especially when we’re hearing Smoke Mac rumors . . . and some saying an Final Cut tie.”

Well we know from as far back as the 10.0.1 release that Smoke was getting FCPXML integration, and we also know @radical.media is a beta tester for FCPX from his demo last fall, so probably also for the integration with Smoke and Resolve. Evan is featured on the Smoke NAB teaser page, so it all looks pretty tidy to me.

Conspicuously absent from each profile’s “Gear” sidebar: Mac Pro. Bad omen?

False alarm.

[Walter Soyka] “Who wants to sign my petition for adding alpha channel support?”

Can (does) any sort of MPEG-4 support alpha? Is that just a limitation of the spec?

The Thunderbolt controllers used in everything but the MacBook Air thus far apparently have 4 channels (plus two DisplayPort channels). Maybe that means the twin ports on the 27″ iMac are using dedicated channels from the same controller that has bandwidth to spare? I’m not finding much in the way of a definitive explanation.

[Craig Seeman] “Compressor shows as .mp4 though for me.
Episode, for example, is .ts for H.264 MPEG-TS.”

The ts files that Compressor spits out for HTTP streaming are reference files that links to a series of .mp4 and .m4a files at various bitrates. It isn’t muxed.

Compressor has always been rather thin (useless, even?) when it comes to transcoding for broadcast delivery (Cable Labs, etc).

[Lance Bachelder] “Yeah and hopefully lower the price – $199?”

The old version was $495. I guess you have to weigh how much time it will save you to use it.

[Steve Connor] “I’ve now put together a 600 clip 5 hour project and there are no beachballs when editing.”

!!!

Try doing that in 7. Don’t sequences max at 4 hours in legacy FCP?
