[Daniel Frome] “For day-to-day editing the mac pro won’t feel much faster than your iMac. When it comes time to render an H264, or convert between formats in compressor, that’s when the machine will operate much faster.”
I’m working with Canon C Log files and so everything that hits the timeline is going to get processed and will need rendering and I’m keen to see rendered playback all the time so any improvement in render time will speed up my workflow . . . thats before I slow it down by visiting this forum

[Craig Seeman] “You mean in three years or so you wont be making another big Mac work related purchase?”
Well those new monitors look pretty good and I’ve always wanted a pyramid shaped computer . . .

[Craig Seeman] “Just my gut hunch but I think the updated FCPX will benefit from the GPUs in the new MacPro.”
Well thats what I figure too. This will probably be my last big Mac work related purchase. I started with the Macintosh 128k in 1984 and seem to have been giving Apple my money ever since then.

So do we get to see the new MacPro?
I’d give it 60%

To my mind the forums seem pretty well titled as they are.
A huge number of editors are still using FCP7 (not me!) and FCPX has 2 active forums, this one which seems to look at how FCPX fits in within the NLE world and encompasses more esoteric and philosophic debates, and FCPX Techniques which does what it says on the label.
I’d admit that this forum has lost some bite since Adobe ring-fenced its software but it’s still a good place to hang out whilst you are waiting for things to render.

I suppose my question would be – why buy this really fast computer and then decide to not benefit from it’s thunderbolt connectivity.
It’s similar to buying an expensive sports car and filling it with low grade fuel.
Smaller 1TB thunderbolt drives are really not that expensive.
The new iMacs together with thunderbolt drives are astoundingly fast and stable.

[Bill Davis] “The next time you’re in a similar shooting situation consider that the original purpose of the “tilt-shift” lens was to correct for precisely this problem. So with a modest rental fee, you can often come away with a shot that doesn’t NEED any perspective correction in post.”
Hindsight is a great thing Bill, always annoying because it’s always right.
I can’t imagine what it must be like to be dealing with footage that does not need correction of some kind.

You could say that at any stage a customer having second thoughts could just cancel the subscription however the most cost effective subscription is a yearly one. If you cancel that you will pay 50% of the balance owing for the year in question and that penalty is a pretty good incentive to not cancel.
Abode could have avoided a lot of fuss by being more generous with their opening offers for the CC subscription rollout.
