Chris Borjis “could be your ram…you’ve got the bare minimum.”
Adding more ram isn’t going to help much though, until you upgrade to 6. 4 is still 32 bit, and can only use 4 gigs.

Carsten Orlt A lot of discussion here is also about native format support. I understand if you have fast turnarounds you like the fact that nothing needs to be transcoded initially (eventually it will). When you work for month on a single project I couldn’t care less about a few nights the computer humming away to get footage transcoded. Again exactly what FCPx does best. Ingest fast to get going and transcode in background. So mercury engine is cool but not necessary.
The Mercury Engine isn’t what allows Premiere to edit natively. Premiere has had native support for DVCProHD since CS3. The purpose of the Mercury Engine is to accelerate playback performance- which does improve playback of highly-compressed footage, but also allows for things like real-time chroma keying, which are pretty useful.

When I saw the title of this post, I immediately saw an image in my mind of a bunch of dudes with red skin tinkering with an HP tower. 🙂
But seriously though, that sounds really cool. It sounds a lot more appealing than the iMac Pro that Apple wants us to use…

Apple should have continued developing the track-based FCPX shown in that image that was floating around before, then added a magnetic timeline “mode” on top of it. Then people could work whicever way they prefer and ease into the new way of thinking.

“Some of the Apple product managers wanted to charge a premium for Final Cut Studio with Color vs. Final Cut Studio without Color. Names such as Final Cut Studio Platinum or Final Cut Studio Extended Edition were bandied about”
I wonder if this is how the “Final Cut Extreme” rumors got started…

Bill Davis I’m betting in 5 years we’ll all look back and see that whatever the editing landscape looks like, it looks a hell of a lot more like X than it does like X’s competitors.
Then why is Apple putting the source monitor back in?

WOW! I bet you could do some serious 4K editing with that thing…

Thomas Frank Three minutes is too long good we didn’t go to Premiere!
I should’ve been more clear on that. I didn’t mean just the import- I was factoring in the time it took me to create the screenshot in Photoshop and upload it. The actual importing as a sequence took about 15 seconds. And it worked beautifully.

Leo Hans I had send a bug feedback to Apple regarding layered PSD file importing.
In less than three hours I got an e-mail from an Apple employee asking me to send him the PSD file.
As a Premiere Pro user, this does NOT sound encouraging to me…
This took me less than three minutes.

John Heagy Don’t expect Apple to “make it pro” if you don’t list what you want.
But the thing about that is, it was ALREADY PRO before Apple butchered it…
