Well we just received our 5K iMac two weeks ago and use CC and I can tell you that I am completely underwhelmed by the performance. Coming from my 17″ Macbook Pro I’ve noticed only minor improvement in rendering and performance. The screen looks amazing. The color representation is beautiful. I feel confident color grading from this screen but the overall performance is way slower than expected. Pro Res 4K 422 with 2 layers of color effects needs to render forever. Not something I wanted to see and not happy with the length of time Adobe is taking to address this issue as I know I’m not the only one that expected the software to just work. It takes over ten minutes to render a 30sec spot and we’re planning on cutting our next feature on this thing shot in 4K.

I’ve tried every configuration even using only software render and that just doesn’t work at all.
Am I missing something here? I’m not editing in h.264 but it sure feels like it.

Not holding my breath for El Capitain either. 10X render improvements, should have just stuck with my laptop.

Hey Bryce,

I’m having the same issue. That fixed it?

I’ll have to give it a try. Did you use media encoder?

Thanks!

Thanks Vic!

Yep 2.5.0.0033 installed.

Sweet! That worked. It was the matrox preset. It would be great if you could change that after a project is started for machines that don’t have the matrox here but glad it works now. Thanks for the heads up.

When I first bought the camera 4 years ago I found that simply erasing the cards in my macbook pro express slot and not reformatting the cards in camera was causing the issues. This caused the cards to shoot with out a problem but when I would go back to offload, I lost footage a couple of times nothing important but not something you want to happen on a big project. It gave me the same error saying the card was full but when I went to play the footage off the camera it tell me there were no clips found. Once I realized what I had been doing I changed my work-flow to always format in camera. I was never able to retrieve the lost clips. But have never lost a clip since changing my workflow.

Hope this helps.

Error Scanning Device

I’m getting the same thing here. I have the latest version of firmware on my EX1. Sent it to Sony.
XDCAM Transfer V.2.12.0

I recently migrated to a new MacBook Pro with Lion and I have a feeling it’s a Lion thing. A bunch of programs had issues.

The video imports no problem and cuts fine on the time line. Just hate having a warning popup.

Thanks for the reply.
That’s been my work around however the queue function for multiple outputs from compressor is pretty helpful. I’m just confused as to why it used to work without a hitch.

Thanks again. And yes 1080p projects.

Great Post! Thank you.
I had the same issue. Bad design.

I regularly transfer from a hard drive all the time with no issues as long as the BPAV files are intact. It could be that the client by-passed the transfer process altogether and just grabbed the .mp4s out of the BPAV folders from the cards directly, in which case you’re out of luck. You need the BPAV files to be intact in order to import or transfer the files to be usable with FCP. Hopefully the client backed-up all the BPAV files from each card.

Best of luck.
