It’s not random that’s for sure but I’ve found it is worse with certain types of footage such as Cineform and also what format you’re rendering to…

What codec is footage and what format are you rendering to?

Well 1st off he’s using a 550 which isn’t enough horsepower for CUDA with Premiere and may not be enough for heaving lifting in Vegas either, The GTX 570 is min. requirement for Mercury Engine which is a HUGE leap over his 550 in price and power.

I understand the economics of it all the instantaneous info we get via the web, but I still love trade shows. Love walking the floor and of course all the after hours fun. I miss driving out to Vegas and getting a speeding ticket trying to get to the FCP Sunday morn event at Paris when they wow’d us with the 1st “studio”. I miss all those jumbo shrimp and champagne!
I also think it’s powerful to know you have 100,000+ paid professionals who can go back to all four corners of the globe and evangelize all their colleagues for your product! Yeah they can learn about it on the web but first hand feeling, seeing and touching goes a long way. I’m sure that’s why Avid came back to NAB.
I’ve had the privilege of working for AJA for several NAB’s and no one does a better job of maximizing trade shows than they do – from their booth stocked with working pros to their insane best-of-NAB party! It’s all for goodwill for their customers and they’ve built a huge loyal base.
But like Jeremy said – Apple is always at NAB, whether they have a booth or not – FCP has been ubiquitous for years, even though they’ve stopped coming. It will be interesting this year to see if X shows up in various booths…

Apple as a company no longer participates in any trade shows for any of their products. I don’t like this policy as the Apple booth was always an exciting place to be during NAB and I’d love to see them there. Not like they can’t afford it…

I think “hater” is an online term of affection – you’re taking this waaaaayyyyy too seriously Walter. If I say “Yankee’s Suck” are you going to wanna fight me on it or take as a friendly jab from a fan of an opposing team (Angels for the record). Now if I said “Jeter sucks and is one of the biggest jerks in sports” that would be INSANE! He’s one the all-time great Yankee’s, players and athletes and a great guy. And I can say that objectively as a baseball fan and as someone who respects the fact that the Yankee’s ownership and management is 100% committed to winning every single season. But when the Yanks play the Angels, I’m a hater lol!
The problem in this forum is the continual bashing of anyone who says anything good or positive about FCPX. And when someone stands up to them and calls them out on it they’re the bad guy. I’ve NEVER said a single bad thing about you Walter, I don’t know you and I have never seen any of your work. I trust that Ron & Co. are have good reason to make you a Leader here on the Cow and I respect that. I only wish it was a two-way street. If you’ve really been called all those names for the past 7 months then maybe it’s you that also needs to think before you type? God knows I let my keyboard get the better of me way to often!
I’ve been a leader here on The Cow since 2001 but apparently I’m not allowed to state my case in defense of FCPX – you know, the app that this forum is about?

You chimed in after me and got personal with me right away. I understand you may be too busy to give FCPX a serious go at the moment. But why the need to get so aggressive here? Even with Bill who’s like the nicest guy on the Cow!

suggesting that other posters are unprofessional, one-dimensional, or incapable of critical thought.
Just plain weird response. I didn’t even mention any names when I said “haters” but look at who chimed in…
There are a few obvious FCPX haters here, we all know who they are because they chime in EVERY time there’s a positive report about X. This thread is a prime example – just read some of the responses.
But hating on X doesn’t mean they are unprofessional, one-dimensional or incapable of critical thought. I’ve never implied any of those things. There are a few who I think are hacks for certain but that’s based on their work and demo reels and is my opinion. They may think the same of me and my work and are free to do so.

Here you go with the personal attacks again. WTF? You can dish it out but you can’t take it…
I’m myopic? Guilty as charged. But again, go to mirror, go directly to mirror, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.
