Thunderbolt, like FCPX seems to be stuck between consumer and pro.

I agree with Chris J. It’s a decidedly consumerised version of a pro level product.

The other problem is, it isn’t fast enough to really be professional. It’s only the equivalent of a PCIe 4x 1.0.

That’s really slow compared to internal PCIe speeds. That’s not fast enough to run my edit array, it’s not fast enough for BM’s 4K card, and it’s not fast enough for anything over a 4G Fibre Channel.

Why do you think there’s a 20G FC standard? we pro’s crave Speed!

The Pan knobs in the audio mixer panel is the way I’d do this in these circumstances, but just so you know, there’s another way. However, it must be done before you put any audio in the timeline.

If you right click the audio in the browser, and select “Modify>Audio Channels…” You can change the audio from Mono to Stereo, and select which channel each of the audio tracks is mapped to.

Now if you’re working with more then two channels, then using the audio mixer method is the only way. I forget at the moment how many channels you can suport… it’s ether 20 or 24….

[Craig Seeman] “Compressor works in 64 bit but throttles down to 32 bit when using 32bit only codecs”

That’s not what the system requirements would imply.

According to the system requirements listed in the App Store, Compressor doesn’t require a 64bit processor to run. 64bit apps spin off 32bit threads all the time, but I’ve never heard of it going the other way around.

Anyone know anything more about this?

[Hector berrebi] “But if someone cuts their feature film in R3D native in premiere, then in my opinion, they’re either noobs, or they just don’t know better.”

Why exactly?

You might want to fix your site then. It kinda implies that converting fx, fades and automation ect. is only for ses files from AA2, not AA2 and 3

You simply need to delete the words: In addition from AA1.5 till AA3 and have it just say: “In addition from AA1.5” having the “till AA3” implies that this is the end of the additive list, and the features below are only for the versions specifically listed.

I know it sounds like I’m splitting hairs, but when I looked at the website I was confused, which is probably the only reason I didn’t download it yet, cause I though it didn’t really fully work except for AA2?

[Jamie Franklin] “No, I got that…but it’s still a confusing argument…it’s not like mac’s are suddenly 300$ too….”

But now they have no reason to get macs, so they’re happy.

[Jamie Franklin] “Studio wasn’t that much more for educational departments…so this confuses me….”

I think what he’s saying is that they couldn’t afford Macs, so they had PP on Windows computers which they felt was inadequate because everyone used FCP.

Now they’re happy cause FCP is going down the drain and they already have PP.

Although there is a free conversion utility to open old sessions in AA5.5:

[Devin Crane] “USB3 is pretty much pointless with Single HDs when you have USB2 as well, there just isn’t much of a future with it. “

Are you aware of the speed diference between USB2 and 3? Um, Your point would have made more sense if you’d said: “USB3 is pretty much pointless with Single HDs when you have Firewire as well, there just isn’t much of a future with it. “

If you don’t think there’s a future in USB3, by all means use 2.0 and have all your file copies take 3 times as long. Heck, as soon as we all go Solid State, it won’t be three times, it’ll be ten.

Audition is a very interesting Parallel. The setup is exactly the same.

A large body of users, marooned for a few years with no real changes, given a program missing critical features, no backwards compatibility, truncated output options, kepping both versions on one computer and having to use both… even a lead developer who doesn’t seem to understand what pro’s need. It’s been very wird déjà vu with FCPX.

Except, there’e one big diference.

That thread is the diference. It was started on apr. 14th and the posts just keep coming.

If you want some interesting reading, read through that. You might see what this could of been like if apple didn’t do things the way they do.
