Thanks a lot John,

I will read it 2morrow.

BTW I have 3 MAC PROS in the studio – I believe I can use this method for distributing across other machines as well..?

thanks again
Ariel

[Ariel Brener]

Sounds very interesting!

I will look for info about it
can you recommend on a nice link\tutorial on the subject?

[Ariel Brener]

I didn’t try to time bench it.

but I feel that FCP studio engine does not use the potential of the system resources.

While exporting or rendering I look at the activity monitor and see that it uses only a fraction (about 1/8) of the 8 cores of my INTEL Mac pro ..

I use adobe premiere CS4 and MEDIA ENCODER – and I see that ADOBE maximizes the rendering alot better.

I don’t understand why FCP studio does not…

Thanks man – I rushed to the forum before trying to feedle with it myself…

I found all the options I needed and eved created a nice little droplet 😀

as always – thank you rafael!

hmmm – bummer.

I guess that match clip in bin (SHIFT+F) is also not needed because I can search it with the find tool……

Another feature the guys @ apple need to implement …

thanks for replying man…

I have the GTX 285 — Im going to install CS5… on 64 bit operating sys to see the CUDA engine kicks in/..

Hope that it will be a big improvement on preview render times…

It would be great to hear about somebody that already uses CS5 & CUDA on GTX 285 card!

I bought the GTX285.

I’m currently running a hackintosh on this rig.
Using the CS4 Master col.

I will check the CS5 in some time – and will report back.

Hello Dennis,

Well the reason I started using FCP for this big HD Documentary was because I already got the footage captured into FCP project.
Also I have heard that FCP is “more professional”

I don’t know – I guess I thought that it will give me more options – because its PRO –

But you tell me – all the professional studios work with either FCp or AVID – Premiere is for semi-pro? am I correct?

First of all thanks David for replaying..

MAN FCP is killing me.

I can’t believe that its like that – Premiere CS4 is so much versatile… not to mention its ADOBE integration…

I need to sententiously have a chat with the developers…

FCP is stable – but common so many essential things are missing…
and Premiere Pro – which suppose to be the replica of FCP – is topping all of that…

Too bad its not as steady as FCP.

Here is a small blowing out steam list that is getting bigger as I continue learning FCP.

• No way to Nest Sequences with different frame rates!
• No way to zoom in canvas timeline (only in audio)
• No audio Pitch Shift During fast\slow motion
• No Audio automation options
• No Search for markers! in project window!
• no work area
