Hi Mark I am aware of that part I am however not sure about 1440x1080F 25F beeing equal to 1440×1080 25P in the eyes of ProRes. I really would like the F300 do to its 50mbit 4.2.2 codec, but I would like to be able use it with my existing AH-XH1 camcorder in a multicame setup. And I am wondering if Canons HDV 1440×1080 25F and canons 1440×1080 25P format will match when transcoded through ProRez. I mean framesize is the same. framerate is the same I am just woundering if the F for Full is to different from the P as in Progressive

Hitachi has an ES line that is considerbly more expensive than the normal discs but they are classified as Enterprise class discs and should thus be able to handle more than the normal discs. Thats Hitachis argument for the higher price anyway. I will newer use those in my privat Mac Pro, but if Video editing was my bread and butter then hell year I will bye the more expensive drives hoping it will save my ass down the line. Not forgetting backup of cause.

The answer is As Ben writes Hypertreading, which is the possiblity to run 2 treads per core thus the reason why you see 16 cores. 8 of them beeing virtual. The processor in your machine is also able to shut down cores and increase the clock of the remaining core. That will increase the speed on programs that do not know how to use multiple processors or cores. I think it does it automatically. Better explanation via this link https://www.apple.com/macpro/features/processor.html

Do you mean that American cars comes with out a ugly red light on the dashbord when it needs an Oilchange?
Back on topic I did not clone my drive first and it works perfectly in the 2 hour test I had time to make yesteday. The drive I did the install on was a less than one week old fresh Install of Leopard with FCP Studio 3 and nothing else no plug ins zip nada. My old FCP Studio 2 that works perfectly is sitting on an other harddrive in my editing machine.

Found this Apple support article https://support.apple.com/kb/TS2117
decided to save file to another folder and that solved the problem. My problem must however be related to permissions none of my discs has less than 46GB of space left. The disk I am using as scratchdisk has nearly 300GB left. Weerd, but problem solved.

if you sent your timeline to Soundtrack as individual files not multitrack project you should automatically get your changes in your Final Cut timeline. It does so when I do it.

I would have if I had the time but I would like to have this personal project finished for a chrismas gift I thus gathered that the 2-5 weeks extra time I get by starting now will help me more than any kind of speed increase I might get from 10.6. Did the upgrade because some of the improvements in the new studio really would speed up the way I work. Apperently according to Walter Biscardi the general speed will increase as well. I am really looking forward to that. 10.6 will installed on one of the other disks on my machine as soon as I get it.

I will do it in soundtrack. If you have one of the studio versions with Soundtrack do use that. The way you can lessen noise in soundtrack is way superior to what you can do in Final Cut and it is worth learning. I thing Larry Jordan at https://www.larryjordan.biz has a tutorial that specifically shows you how to do noisereduction, but it is a technique that is taught in a lot of the tutorial I have seen on Soundtrack.

It proberly depent on what you are going to use the software for. A 8 core is faster i you are working with ProRes. The latest ProRes whitepaper on apple.com shows the speed increase when you go from 2 to 4 to 8 cores. It will also be faster in compressor if you setup a prober qmaster cluster on the local machine. You will find tutorial on the web telling you how to do it. I had tried using it on my 2006 version of the Mac Pro and it does work. Can’t remember exactly what to do but think the rule of thumb is. Add half of the cores you have to the qmaster cluster that means 2 on the quad and 4 on the version with 8 cores and 2GB of memory per core dedicated to the cluster. Must say that rule of thumb was made before the release of the 2009 Mac Pro. That version has the ability to split a core into 2 proceses which means you might be able to get 4 instances out of 2 cores and thus might have to ad 4GB memory per core added to the cluster. Read the thread the other poster has posted read the whats new in Final Cut Studio 3 on apples website decide what you want to use i Final Cut Studio and how you will use it, as well as what other things you are going to use your computer for. Then decide.

I think the correct header should be FCS 3 upgrade Not worth USD299 for me. We all have different needs and skillsets. most of you works with it for a living some of us works with it in a privat context. I have ordred my copy for 2 reasons. 1 It moves your markers if you make changes to your timeline. A feature I would have loved to have when I had placed some 80 markers in a timeline and when decided to remove som fotage because it made a particular clip boring. The second feature is the feature ind Soundtrack pro that matches the voicelevels in different clips. all my project are personal. I have a very good shotgun mike on the camcorder, and a headset, but the soundlevels between my headset and my shotgun mike do vary because of the distant between my mouth headset and the shotgun mike the subjects I am filming. If Voice-level match works as indicated it would save me alot of time.
