As demoed by Vaio Zs + power dock configuration, an EXTERNAL DESKTOP CLASS GPU can be plugged into an ultrathin laptop, and it will be able to take its full power when needed. Such is only possible because of the extreme in-out bandwith of intel’s Lightpeak technology a.k.a. Thunderbolt. So there, as thin as the macbook can get, with thunderbolt all you need is a great cpu and ram config, you can easily plug in raid bays and gpu and 10 monitors and they will function as if its embedded in one desktop configuration. Thats the future.

What an amazing coincedence. I am the commenter that you were reffering to at that blog and I must say that my advice actually works. I must have pissed off Phillip too and Im sorry for that. Its just that there have been so many cries for weeks about native editing slow downs, and I had it at the begginning too..up until I read a post by Richard Harrington about turning off the background renderring on the preferrences pane and boy fcpx started flying. The slow down is caused by all the background renderring processes that happens everytime you do anything on a clip..which actually brings even mac pros to it knees. Now if you tick that off…I can now place 5 layers of color correction and 3 effects and I can preview everything without droping a frame. And the export takes as long as the output time…sometimes shorter! FCPXs speed amazing!
I do hope though that Apple provided a trial for though…it would smoothen up the transition.

“But what about new editors — people just starting in editorial for the first time today — whose only experience with editorial is going to be with FCPX? How will they learn differently than we have? How will they think and solve problems differently than we do?”
Those new to serious editing who will exclusively learn and live with FCPX will be better off in the long ruyn because this product is made for the FUTURE, and in the future traditional NLE systems will disappear.
FCPX is all about digital “maximization’ in both metadata organization, li instantaneous effect previews without rendering, clip connections,manetic timelines, and “visual” data manipulation. As the world moves forward, and REDs makes 8k easy, HDSLRs makes 2k to 3k cheap (megapixel wars on video capture ), mobile processors enables hdslr RAW video capture, televisions will have to be broadcasted not only on cable, or antennas but also on the web, no more bandwith bottlenecks so interlaced will not be required anymore, HD will be cheap and is the standard, 3k the premium, 3D TVs will be cheaper and people will want them (some maybe), tapes and all of its incarnations will disappear.
And we’ll be left with an all digital capture and workflow. That is the inevitable future – ALL WILL BE DIGITAL. And thats where FCPX is strong. And as the world moves by it will get even stronger, because the foundations that are in place are already awesome.

[Walter Soyka] ” I think that FCPX’s design philosophy is abstraction, hiding technical detail where possible and moving the editor away from the underlying mechanics of what the computer must do to assemble the edit”
This is EXACTLY is what Steve Jobs philosophy on how he approaches every single Apple product. Ever since the first mac..up to its most recent releases..this is his entire point. Giving the user the power to do what he needs, without having to learn all the complications under the hood.
Heres a great playboy interview of steve j. in 1985 which exemplifies this: https://gizmodo.com/5821429/that-time-in-1987-when-playboy-interviewed-steve-jobs
“That’s a simple explanation, and the point is that people really don’t need to understand how computers work. Most people have no concept of how an automatic transmission works, yet they know how to drive a car. You don’t have to study physics to understand the laws of motion to drive a car. “

I was having this very same issue on my quadcore unit, but lo and behold it only THIS ON MOVE SOLVED IT ALL.
Final Cut Pro X >Prefferences>Playback>Untick the effin “Background Render”
Kaboom! My FCPX just exploded with fast…i can apply multiple layers of color grades, effects, titles, transitions, clip connections, on a non transcoded avchd file ( native baby! ) and I can export all my edits in seconds..what it takes 30mins for premiere to do. Damn!
