February 12, 2012 at 11:05 pm in reply to: Session/project approach to working on a feature

Just to chime in here – on the last RED indie feature I did i too had one project and each 15 minute reel was its own session totaling 5 all together – all RED mx material and it worked beautifully – mind you I am on a 12-core with 32GB of RAM, I did however notice that it took a lot longer to load, save, etc…but it worked!

Also, I know this is not a RED feature project example BUT at the moment i am working on a series of car spots (Alexa Log-C ProRes444 1080p23.98) and I have decided to have one project with a whole bunch of sessions as there will also be cutdown versions of some of the spots. I added all the footage and composites from the Nuke guy into the media pool and I add new renders as needed or via force conform when shots change as they come down the pipeline from the vfx dept. – i am also adding offline versions of cuts into the media pool to make sure my xml’s from fcp are frame accurate for each spot.

At this point there are 15 sessions in this one project each with its own stills page and I am using ‘remote’ versions as opposed to local right now which i believe will give me more control of things..correct me if I am wrong!?

As the cutdown versions for some of these spots come in I plan to just go to the respective stills page and apply the grade as needed. Fingers crossed that I am following the proper workflow here, would like to get some thoughts or feedback from you guys if you have any suggestions or things to watch out for at this point?

Thank you

Sorry i did not realize CudaZ was for Mac as well!

do you have a download link possibly and any advise on best to use it and where to really focus one’s attention in comparing say a 285 against a 470?

thank you!

What are you using to text the card on mac? I just got the 470 and have yet to install it but do want to compare it to the 285 i currently have in there.

What might you guys suggest?

Upgraded to latest version of beta 8.2b3 on my own system and at another facility we are having the resolve not licensed dongle issue repeatedly as well…going to email BMD now.

IS there a mac version of GPU testing software? i want to test my 285 and compare with the 470 which is on the way!

480 has to be clocked down to work so just get the 470 its got more cuda cores than the 285.

January 28, 2012 at 6:21 am in reply to: if I go for the GTX 285 2Gb and GT 120 for resolve, how will it affect other graphic apps?

Do you think it is ok/safe to get one of the 480’s available now for Mac on ebay? Just trying to decide if it’s worth the extra 100 bucks for only 40 or whatever more Cuda cores…and possible power or heat issues?

January 11, 2012 at 4:34 am in reply to: Is it worth swapping a 285 for 470?

What about power drain or any other things I will have to consider if I swap them out?

Also where to purchase – no response from macvidcards.

Thank you
