I hope to dream big, and I can only hope that this is in the new mac.
(please, don’t spoil my dream with reality!)

This has a HUGE impact, because of the actual conversation that lead up to Scott’s dismissal!
Tim Cook, “Scott, I’m really excited about what we are about to bring to the Pro community!”
Scott, “forget the pro community, they are the past! we need to move onto the future! Implanting babies with microchips!”
Tim, “Umm, Scott I think it’s time you leave. How dare you even suggest such a horrible thing! To forget our pro users, forshame”
Scott, “Fine, I didn’t like working here anyway, it smells like diaper rash!”
Well, one can only hope that was the conversion.

[Bret Williams] “Yes, FCP X is pretty much the gold standard in MultiCam IMHO. Before you would have to use plural eyes to sync the cams to the external audio. Now it’s done in seconds. “
Ya, that does sound awesome. In another post I also said that for putting your first cut (1st draft) there is not a better program out there.
Control y was the ticket. Thanks for that, it was one of the forgotten shortcuts. The instant i read your post, I did a total recall of the ripple training dude talking about that.
Well in this case I was cherry picking clips off my network storage (1) to store locally on my laptop for a new demo reel. Using FCPx as an easy way to convert to prores. But I have limited fast storage, so I like to keep my media size down (I asked a long time ago about if fcpx could convert just the stuff you edited to the project into pro res, and unfortunately the answer was a no.) I prefer ssd’s to firewire drives. Plus, I am getting horrible performance on all my firewire drives using my MBPr.
(1) Network Storage = airport extreme with all my not in use drives hooked up to a usb 2.0 hub. I keep a copy of all my client media assessable over the air drive.
also I enjoy the crack of the fast drive. so i try to keep my media lean.

[Bret Williams] “Acceleration of iMac 6970m GPU without a hack that causes multiple crashes and sluggishness?”
Yep I can understand that 100%, it was the same with my macbook pro 13 inch. As long as I was running off the internal SSD, I could edit HD really well. That has always been the feeling I have gotten with every adobe product. As long as your machine is the kick, you will have no problems. Another plus to adobe though, it is platform agnostic.
[Bret Williams] “Auto sync of multicam via audio?”
Was that feature in FCP 7? I can’t remember. I don’t do much multicam work, but I just watched a couple of demo/tutorials on multicam cs6 and mulitcam fcp x. FCP x looks way easier.Hey Bret, on a sorta related question. When I brought in the clip to compare how each program handles pro-res, in FCP x on the open archive, I could not figure out how to see the native timecode of the clip. My clip was really long, and I knew the timecode start from Adobe, but could not figure out how to import just the timecode range I wanted.

I just tried Thunderbolt to FireWire and USB at the same time with my g raid mini. No luck. The only thing that works is external power.

The only issue i’ve had with my rMBP is that the firewire adaptor does not supply enough power to the firewire bus powered G-raid mini. It works fine if it is on power, but just clicks and makes noise. It was good of you to point out your problems though, becasue it make you think.
