You’re right on the spot Darren. This morning after reading your post i contacted a friend of mine who’s a mac expert and he almost quoted you word by word! He has already requested a quote from owc for the cpu upgrades. Do you have any recommendations as well as on how to install the second graphics card? I think i would need an expansion chasis since i already have a decklink card, a esata card plus the 7950.

BTW, thanks again! You saved me from doing a bad investment!

Yikes!!! It’s a brand new computer still on the box so i can’t try it. a friend is selling it to me for 1,900. I can go to a store but since they don’t have fcpx or motion installed i won’t be able to perform any valuable test.

Know I’m back where i started jejejejeje. Do you think i should hold my self and wait for a better machine?

Thanks again!

Thanks a bunch for your opinion! I’m getting my brand new imac first thing tomorrow morning.

Thank you guys.

My biggest concern is that the AMD Radeon R9 M395 graphics card might not be good enough. I do mainly tv commercials and a lot of longforms with tons of compositing and effects. Nothing mayor but many seconds and minutes per video.

In a few weeks i will upgrade my hard drives if they give me any trouble

With that in mind plus the issue of 4k becoming the new standard, you think this mac is a decent work horse?

Again, thank you for the advice

So far I have tried rebuilding the directory file with Disk Warrior and I have also tried, on some files, running digital Rebelion’s QT Repair with no luck so far. I still get the same message. On some of the files I can se the thumbnail on the clip, but when I select it, it goes to the QT logo.

BTW, I’m on a MacPro 2×2.26 Quad Core/10 GB of RAM and OS X 10.8.1
Footage is on a LaCie Big Quadra 4tb.
I have Tech tool Pro 6.0.4, Disk Warrior latest version and Pro Maintenance Tools

I have also tries opening the files on different computers and I get the same message

Thanks for your interest

Thanks… So in other words, if I choose a size other then the usual NTSC/PAL – SD/HD formats, the result will be distorted ?
