I think you are using bezier instead of linear. You have to right click on the key frame to switch to linear.

I am thinking some of the monitors are using YUV color space and the others using RGB? Some may be 10 bit others may be 8 bit. If you are doing work for broadcast or cable casting 3rd party hardware from Blackmagic Design, AJA or Matrox mwould be wise. I was going to do a video showing the difference between the color space on a computer monitor VS a broadcast monitor but I doubt it would look correct after being up loaded to YouTube. Having said that you might find the link below helpful.

It might be the AJA drivers but I wonder if the Mac OS X doesn’t work as well as the Windows PCs with 3rd party hardware. All I can say is my Windows PC works great with the Blackmagic Design Intensity Shuttle. There is no performance loss at all. In fact I can output several layer of native Red One R3D files with ease using the Intensity Shuttle (it downs scales 4k to HD). I doubt you can switch platforms (Mac to PC) overnight but it might be worth looking into. In one of the other forums at the Cow it was mentioned you cannot over look the power of a $1600.00 gaming PC for video editing. Many folks thought an HP workstation was the only option on the PC side but that assumption is not true. Having said that have you ever thought about investing in a Windows PC?

You shouldn’t even install the drivers for the Intel GPU let alone enable it. My I7 system has integrated graphics but I don’t use it. You must onfigure your system properly.

Ryzen and Threadripper are not that great and are out performed by the Intel CPUs. They do offer a decent bang for the buck but I would prefer an I7 8700K over Ryzen. Keep in mind Ice Lake and Cannon Lake will hit the market in 2018. 2018 will be probably better than 2017.

[Noah Kadner] “Unfortunately with the 50% slower Thunderbolt 2 ports on the 2013 MacPro vs the Thunderbolt 3 ports on new iMacs and MacBook Pros, you won’t get much net gain over the onboard GPUs with an eGPU.”
I think the GTX 1080 Ti hits a bottleneck with Thunderbolt 3. External GPUs are not the best option but for some that is the only option they have. There is rumor that Canon Lake or Ice Lake will support PCIE 4.0.

[Michael Hadley] ”
I’ll be interested to see what the specs are with the next version of FCPX does once they come out with the new iMac Pro, which will support eGPU on the AMD Vega cards (once High Sierra is updated) and if it makes sense at that point to get an eGPU with the new AMD Vega card and try to prolong the lifespan of my 2013 Mac Pro.”The Vega cards have not proven to be that great but they don’t suck either. Having said that Nvidia is supposed to release Volta in 2018 (rumors). Volta is supposed to kick some ass but who know for sure? AMD is supposed to have a new CPU in 2018 to replace the current Ryzen and Threadripper CPUs. 2017 was interesting but 2018 might be even better. I have a feeling in 2018 I am going to see Apple users getting external Volta GPUs if Apple does not offer them in their systems.

[Olivier Prudhomme] “[andy patterson] ” I do actually like dropping 1080P 30P and 60P video into an interlaced timeline ”
Interesting.
Why would you do that other than smooth playback if it was shot progressive which I would think will mean Progressive delivery?”Broadcast is still done at 1080i. I like to the show the client what it would look like if broadcast over the airwaves. Most my stuff is for the web but I do like being able to give a broadcast compliant preview to the client. Having said that I do get interlaced video. Interlaced video looks horrible on the computer screen. I have my old CRT monitor for editing mini DV and VHS tapes. Those video formats look awesome on the old CRT but monitors but do not look that great on the HD monitors.
A 60P timeline/sequence will playback smooth but it works the CPU and GPU really hard. 30P has a choppy look to it for motion graphics and the video does not look that smooth. 1080i is the best of both worlds (especially sports or action shots). With Premiere Pro you can simply switch the timeline/sequence to 1080P at 60 FPS for output. If you want you can leave the timeline at 1080i and let Media Encoder output to 60P. With the Intensity Shuttle I just get a real smooth playback to broadcast compliant monitors (interlaced). A 60P timeline/sequence does play smooth on the computer monitor if you have a powerful computer. Premiere Pro does not take a hit in real-time playback using 3rd party hardware. The Nvidia GTX 1060 does the interlacing with ease. Any mediocre GPU can do the interlacing or deinterlacing with ease.

[Shane Ross] “Do you intend on color correcting what you are editing, or only using a client monitor to see it full screen? If the latter, you already have a setup that is working….so why add soemthing you don’t need?”
I would tend to agree. 3rd party hardware is great if you need to output for broadcast (CC & composition) or have interlaced video. Most people do not need 3rd party hardware. Having said that I do actually like dropping 1080P 30P and 60P video into an interlaced timeline because the motion graphics playback super smooth and the video it’s self looks smoother on the broadcast compliant hardware. For me it was money well spent ($180.00) but not everyone will need it.

Premiere Pro has a lens correction filter.
