WTF!!

Is that for real?

[Herb Sevush] “But who wants to buy a 3 year old machine when Apple is supposedly upgrading the line in the fall.”

I’ve been playing this game with Apple and for years.
I just buy whats available and dont have the energy to deal with whats the fastest (of late).
In the past it was so much fun when trying to justify an SGI Octane/O2 configuration.
These days we can go into an Apple store and get a more than capable iMac.

My day job are at year three with a dozen nMPs and they have not had to be serviced for any reason.
Mostly Adobe centric and the D700s do all the Resolve/Avid/Pro Tools work.
I still use Maya/Renderman on a 2008 BOXX/Dell Precision combo so that will probably be updated soon.

I am hearing rumors that Apple (Canada) is going to start offering a leasing plan for corps.

I hope it opens up to public cause I would take advantage of it for my personal company.

Thanks Jeremy fro the tips 🙂

Hmm maybe a good case to purchase Logic Pro 🙂

Im not really sure what was causing the audio to not show up via XtoCC.

I do know that one clip was a Compound so I fixed that by breaking it up.

All is well after that 🙂

I only have X2ProLE 🙁

The audio guy on this project is using Logic Pro.

I use Pro Tools for my audio work.

Friends don’t let friends shoot to H264 footage 🙂

Good tips on lighting. I’ve had to use Canon footage with my RED and thankfully they were all day shots.

Can you see the video in the Library?

Update your RED drivers for Apple even if its the same version.

[Brian Seegmiller] “You can choose to link footage manually if you want even if the names don’t match. I have done that a couple of times in X. As I recall you have to do it one by one and it worked for me.”

Im lazy I just re-import to get automatic links.

[Gary Huff] “This is such a huge deal, especially after working in Premiere where it doesn’t care what you relink to.
“

Hmm I wouldnt go that far.
Relink in Premiere is not exactly flawless.
Im not going into detail since Ive had too many rants about it for years now.

For AI the vector(rasterize) makes it easier if scaling is required especially in 3D Camera.
As far as applying textures then PS is best but you can import most image formats in AE.
