[Sean Thomas]A month ago you would have been called every name in the book for saying what you just said.
I think it was far worse to say that you were going to switch to AVID/Premiere than to say you were going to try to make FCPX work with your current workflow.
-
[Craig Seeman]BTW have you thought about using FCPX’s iMovie import “advantage” as a way to generate “finishing” business for all those corporate produced iMovie jobs out there?
One anecdote does not a trend make.

[Jeremy Garchow]We talked about this in another thread. Uploading proxies is not out of the realm of possibility.
So how do you get your deliverable then? I guess the program itself would have to support transcoding your local files, but then you lose the speed reason why you’d use the cloud in the first place (rendering).
-
[Jeremy Garchow]Bandwidth is certainly the limitation of all of this.
And data caps.
I love how there are those spouting the “Kid with the laptop” as being the future of video production and then turning right around to praise The Cloud, when the kid with the laptop is probably MANY years away from being able to upload typical DSLR footage without it taking forever.

Can you be more specific? Is your mouse movement normal and you cannot click on anything? Or is it more jerky and it’s hard to click on stuff?

You also have to purchase a Xeon if you want to run a dual-CPU system for double the number of cores. If you purchase a multi-CPU motherboard and then a regular i7, it won’t work.

[kim krause]like i said earlier…you suffer from old farts syndrome…this guy is totally tuned into his generation….remember what that was like back in the 60’s? i’m sure you do!
I’m not quite sure what point you’re trying to make.
-
That makes no sense, Darren. The whole point is to have a ridiculously overblown system that makes it difficult to get the red render bar in Premiere. The system I have now is pretty close to what you just built.
-
I would say that not knowing what the future holds with Apple in regards to their traditional computing platform is what’s holding back Mac Pro sales more than anything.
-
[Daniel Frome][B]ut the mac pro is easily a better engineered, quieter, and more stable machine.
Purely in your own opinion.
But for $3500 I can purchase my own parts to get me a DUAL i7 Xeon (12 cores total) with 16GB of RAM, GTX 590 (arguably as good as the Quadro in Premiere) and a 256GB Samsung SSD (currently rated as one of the speediest). Can’t even get that combination with a current Mac Pro desktop. And that may never even be available in a Mac depending on what Apple ends up deciding to do about the line.
