Since I don’t have Thunderbolt on my Mac Pro, would it be possible to get a Thunderbolt PCI card and run a Thunderbolt RAID for faster speeds than an eSATA RAID?

I’m not TOO familiar with PCI speeds, so please excuse my ignorance.

Also, are the specs on the VR2 fast enough to edit Multi-Clips (2-5 camera angles or 1980×1020 ProRes files)?

My Mac Pro specs are:
2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
24 GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card
OSX 10.9.5
Built circa 2008.

Shane,

thank you so much for the info. I’ll do some saving up and make some purchases.

I do have a Mac Pro (2012 model) but all my SATA bays are taken up by other drives.

I was looking into a 4TB RAID

https://www.amazon.com/Book-dual-drive-high-speed-premium-storage/dp/B00KU68A1A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1432305944&sr=8-1&keywords=4TB+RAID

but wondering if the USB speed is fast enough (or even if I have USB 3 on my Mac Pro).

If i HAVE to get an eSATA PCI card, i have PCI slots available.

Given I can’t use my internal SATA drive slots, any suggestions?

My goal is to be able to Multi-Clip edit up to 4-6 cameras/files.

Ryan

thanks so much. The camera was used the day before outside and when I turned it on inside, the settings I’m sure were causing the rolling shutter.

Learned something new today.

Thanks for the reply and the great links.

Ah yes. I was under “Mavericks”.

thank you

I have looked everywhere for the E-1 plugin from Canon. Every link I’ve found online sends me to a page that must’ve been updated as the descriptions on how to download are different than what’s on the website that’s linked.

Anyone have a link for the E-1 Plugin for FCP7?

I don’t do a lot of post coloring … as I’m not that learned yet on the process. This is still a hobby for me but I’m loving it so far.

I use AE to do small animations and effects and keying.

As of now, I’m fairly knowledgable in FCP7, not a pro, but I know my way around. It’s just the transcoding that gets tiresome and HOGS up space with all the ProRes. It’s not a HUGE deal…I just know I’m on FCP7 which is virtually unsupported in terms of being updated and I have no plans to go to X.

While i’ve got you here … you have any pointers on RAID or Thunderbolt setups?

Right now I’m just running my videos off of an internal SATA drive. It works great for 1 camera stuff. But I’m doing Music Videos and often creating MultiClips in FCP and running 4 streams at once gets too heavy for my current setup.

Been doing some research but wanted to hear from the pros.

What a great response.

Thank you!

I thought maybe I’d try and save some time with no having to dump my footage into compressor and transcode to ProRes 422. And seeing how much I work in AE, I thought it would make more sense.

Apple Compressor has been giving me issues and since I’m not willing or ready to fully switch to FCPX, Premiere looks so similar to AE that it seemed to make sense. But, if there’s gonna be bottlenecks…I might as well just stick with the workflow I have now.

Great post

thats what I was afraid of.

can you recommend a good RAID system/configuration for a hobbyist?
Or will a good TBolt drive suffice?

All great points.

I live in OC/Los Angeles so one would think getting my own footage wouldn’t be a problem….but it has been difficult to get access to the roof of a massive building.

Some of the shots are literally flashes (12 frames or so) so maybe CG will work for the shots I absolutely can’t film on my own.

I looked on VideoBlocks but couldn’t find anything awesome.

I am ALL for natural light and real footage so maybe I’ll ask around and search for some spots to get some filming done….
