thanks for your response
In your opinion what’s the best way to edit 4k source footage without having to go through the pain of REDCine-X? I just finished a project last week in FCP-7. Where it took me 10 days to transcode everything in REDCine-X. I just switched over to CS6 cause you can handle R3D files w/o going through REDCine. Which I’m able to, however as I’m editing. The fan on my MacBook Pro is screaming. However when I pause playback the fan cuts off. The screen shot I uploaded in my original post illustrators how much CPU power CS6 is taking up.
