…(aside from Apple who will no doubt sell a bundle of these to cylindrophiles) is the Hackintosh/Wintel integrating community..
You are 100% Right. I will make some money off Apple for a change. I am typing this on a Hacintosh right now and it works great.

You know that math and data cannot be used as an argument against anything Apple does.

That’s it. The “MacXpro” computer. What a joke. It this a MacCube or what?
I will be making Hacitosh computers from now until the put out a IPAD version of OSX.
What a bunch of crap. I sold my apple stock at $650. Looks like a short could make some money.
Alienware for the win..

Apple is a cell phone company. We are lucky they don’t cancel the entire MacOS. It looks like I will be making another Hacintosh system. If this is so then I will be king of the Hacintoshes in San Diego.
Thunderbolt I/O is externalized PCI at 4X. All the PC motherboards I am using (ASUS, Gigabyte) are using multiple 4 PCI slots at 16X. With the vanguard of the 4K and lossless compression (RED, Black Magic, etc) for everyone the problem will be to get the RAID data rates up to over 800 mbps (megabytes per second) at RAID 5 or Raid 6 not to mention connection to LTO tape. This is going to mean connection to a really good SAS card (ATTO or ?) running at 16X PCI. No slots no SAS. No SAS no 4K. Not to mention where do I put the Red Rocket Card’s.
Solid state drives are an expensive alternative that can be used to get to the needed data rates but I think that reliability and cost is still the big question question.
If they build a crippled box with no expansion I will be advising my customers to dump the MACPro’s (ALL the MacPro’s) and Start going with dual boot Hacintoshes for half the price. I am not going to put up with this crap anymore.

I’m not listening anymore.
Most of the features of Premiere CC7 are ones I already have in FCP7.
FCP7 is still a better program than Premiere.See you in two years.

You are 100% correct. This is just a repackaging to cover up a price increase. It cost $1400 for the first year in Australia. ADOBE Minion Shantanu Narayen refused to answer questions about how the company can justify charging Australians up to $1,400 https://youtu.be/78yigV0GYGQ

IMO, users groups only thrive when the build communities of support around a shared product.
The problems that editors share are universal to the all the different NLE’s. Editors are not working alone. Audio Editing, Color Correction, Special Effects, everything has issues. The days of the one guys does all is gone you have to be able to work with other people. Everyone expects perfect.
SDMVPUG is going to be about the process and less about what button to push.
Workflows and management are now key to getting the job done. Editors may now be forced to take a shower and talk to people. I don’t know if I can deal with these changes but I am going to give it a try.

I changed the name to SDMVPUG (San Diego Mac Video Production User Group) so that the meeting could encompass more solutions (i.e. Adobe, AVID, Autodesk, BlackMagic, etc.). The MAC part is because we are a SIG (special interest group) of the SDMUG.org who is the non-profit with the insurance rider.
FCPX is not a pro tool and the people who use it are not as obsessed as professionals at mastering their tools. That makes for low turnout at meetings. FCPX fun to play with and I use it for ingesting project and doing first pass color correction. That is about what I can use it for. I don’t want to hear from people who say they are using it to edit a 20 million dollar movie. You can use a iphone to shoot a TV series but I won’t.
We used to get 30-40 people at a meeting now we get 10. FCPX is a dud. Larry “The Voice” Jordan is even doing Adobe tutorials. The era of FCP is over. It is now every man for himself.
My last thought is if Apple doesn’t come out with a really good mac pro I will be the King of the Hackintosh’s in San Diego.
I am building one now and it really fast under Windows 7 and even better under 10.8.3. Testing phase to be completed next week.
Now get back to work.
