Besides your hard drives probably not being fast enough (your main problem). FCP itself is not made to use more than two cores. No matter what you add to your machine, it’ll still only use two (inside of FCP). When you’re exporting, you can use all 8 if you use Compressor and have a virtual cluster set up.

Success for me too. I’m not distributing over a network, but creating a virtual cluster on my 8-core Mac Pro. I definitely had some problems at first trying to get the setup correct. Now everything works just fine and the speed increase is awesome.

mmm i guess i’ll have to go out component to the monitor since it doesn’t support 480/60i and 720/24 through the DVI port.

interesting…
how does the JVC handle 1080p footage? most of the stuff I’ll work with is 720 (from an HVX), but it’d be nice to know that it’ll be accurate with 1080 footage when I need it.

Nick,
if you press the 1:1 button on the JVC when viewing 1080p material, will it actually display 1:1 and just crop this image? that’d be a nice way to check focus/sharpness and save an extra $1k.btw the 20″ is 1680×1050 and the 24″ is 1920×1200

this is not a bug, but 99% of the time this shows up, the clips do not have enough handles on the end. you need to trim the clip so that there is enough footage to complete the transition.

I’ve never had any glitch frames in my exports when using a virtual cluster.
One thing you’ll need to start doing is to export a QT Movie (doesn’t need to be self-contained) and bring that into Compressor rather than sending to Compressor within FCP. This has to do with Compressor looking for multiple licenses of FCP within the Virtual Cluster (which don’t exist).

If you go to DVXuser.com, there is a sticky in the DVX forum that lists authorized dealers.
