I’m just trying to work with FCP7 (yes I don’t like the workflow of X and I rather change software that use that) Anyways, new MacPro crashes all the time with more complicated project in it. I felt desperate since Client want’s he’s project to be done!
Now I tested the same project with my 15″ Macbook Pro, there was no difference with the performance, besides I was able to actually open the project and work with it!!!
Now I’m testing the export times, since I didn’t see huge difference when I was doing it with new MacPro 🙁
Using Motion however brought greater difference to previous by providing more real time video performance.
I’m lucky to have both machines, otherwise my project would be disaster.
