  • Thank you so much Ryan.. That fixed it.

  • Nope.. So I hope there’s somebody in here who can help.

  • I found some answers elsewhere. Here’s what I found about requirements for the forthcoming Final Cut Pro X in the PDF “Preparing for Final Cut Pro X” by Torrey Loomis at Silverado Systems (link: https://www.postmagazine.com/documents/SilveradoPrepforFCPX.pdf)

    Due to the Grand Central Dispatch-technology in FCP X it would be a very very good idea to get the i7 instead of the i5 because of the hyperthreading technology in the i7 chip.

    “Summary:
    Grand Central Dispatch is a load-balancing technology that takes properly coded applications and effectively balances performance across multiple cores. Since performance is balanced, full utilization of all cores can occur. Intelʼs Hyper-Threading technology allows Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to assign twice as
    many tasks to available cores–effectively doubling the amount of processing power available in systems that support Hyper-Threading. And as the threshold of core speed is approached, Intelʼs Turbo Boost technology provides another level of speed by allowing cores to dynamically overclock themselves to a higher level of performance.

    Recommendation:
    You can fully leverage the maximum amount of power available via Grand Central Dispatch by using Apple systems that support Intel Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost (presently 2009 and later Mac Pro and 2011 MacBook Pro systems). To get the highest performance youʼll need to make sure the apps you are running are Grand Central Dispatch optimized–such as the new Final Cut Pro X.”

    Hope other people out there with the same speculations about i5 vs. i7 will find this helpful.

  • Yeah, maybe that’s the cleverest move.
    But isn’t it already possible to say if the i5 or i7 is best with a 64-bit system?
    I can’t wait to buy until they launch a new series of Imacs again.

  • Thanks Chris!

    Could anyone then tell me how to make the blurry stop motion like effect at 1:24 -> 1:27.

    That would be great!!
