[Brock Burwell] ” Figured out that I want my next purchase to be a steadicam (or similar) to increase the professionalism of my videos. “
I say put your money into better audio. How many flying shots do you really need? IMO, one of the worst things a newbie can do is buy a steadicam. Instant case of Steadicamitisâ„¢. Every single shot is flying, moving, floating, twirling. It’s happening all over again with the new compact gyroscopic rigs like the Movi. It’s distracting and takes away from the story in many cases. You need a good tripod/head combo (which can easily run in the thousands). Beyond that, a shoulder rig is nice for going mobile.

[Craig Alan] “Do these die like spinning HDs do?”
Yes, they do, and it will likely be an instantaneous and complete death. But an SSD will breathe new life into your MacPro!

January 20, 2014 at 1:12 am in reply to: Changing my recommendation re fusion drives vs SSD’s[Michael Phillips] “And to add on to Oliver’s great info, note that disaster recovery from SSD drives is extremely difficult to impossible. Not that I have first hand experience in this, but is what I heard from reputable drive recovery services. As with all drives, some sort of automated backup system should be in place. “
Yep. I had an OWC SSD blink out on me (never to awake again). It was less than a year old.

I don’t see anything there about 10.1.1.

[David Mathis] ” Now if Neiman Marcus would sell one with diamonds on it in pink or red. I would certainly buy one of those. :-)”
That’s right. Diamonds are forever! A high-end graphics card, on the other hand, has a limited shelf-life.

Please don’t put yourself out any more for me, Walter. I’m stretched pretty thin and I’m sure the problem is just my brain 🙂

101? I wish I could understand half of what you just said.

January 14, 2014 at 3:54 pm in reply to: “App Nap”, turn it off for FCP X, AE, and what else?This brings back bad memories of an hours long render in Speed Razor on Windows NT back in ’99, I think. Deadline approaching, things looking good; then the screen saver kicks in and locks up the machine and destroys the render 🙂
