As a GH3/4 user to P4K, I can say since it comes with a copy of Resolve Pro with the camera, BRAW is your friend. Smaller sizes recording than ProRes HQ (best for 4K+ capture), and as Brad says, better highlight recovery with 12bit Braw. Easy to add a LUT for quick export, or play with as you please.
For TB/$, the Samsung T5/7 is your best recording media, and SmallRig is my cage of choice. Hope your using a Metabones Speed Booster with full frame glass for best results!Michael E Locke

Totally agree, as I am fighting with my 2018 Mac mini to return to the operating system it shipped with (Mojave!). That T2 security is great, but say goodbye to a bootable external installer. The first “workaround” I used led to a continuous reboot, so I’m not sure what to recommend other than DON’T go to Catalina! I have no more CS6 period. Apple love/hate relationship…

Look,
You guys are all legends, and I’ve yet exist, but the word I don’t think I’ve heard is “disposable” for Apple software. Starting on 10.6.8, I didn’t think I was getting in on the high point. All we wanted was a 64bit FCP, with maybe some more resolution options. EOL was the option- for the whole suite. So I can never take Apple seriously for any product they whimsically produce today. It’s not hate anymore, as soon as ProRes doesn’t matter things will really change…

Late in, but I’m pretty sure Lion was current when CS6 came out, so Adobe was just letting all the CS5.5/Snow Leopard (good ol’ 10.6.8) owners know it was built for Lion. Personally, I’ve only had issues with Encore crashing, after Mt. Lion (10.8.5), but I’ve got a 2012 13″ running it just for burning discs/field unit.
Indeed, this 15″ 2014 retina (11,3) is on it’s stock 10.10.5 Yosemite (won’t give up OLD disc utility)- and Pr/Ae/Ps/Br all work textbook. So if you don’t have to rip BluRays for festival submissions/etc, it’s still good for the most part. My light indie work still doesn’t need more than CS6, so just keep running it (CC can wait)… -
Greetings Oliver,
I’m a fan from not to far (Atlantic Beach); have you tried formatting in ExFat? If your drive is 64GB+, it should be formattable as such and is certainly the newer version of “Fat”. A 64GB Sandisk Extreme Pro Micro SD card is $50, and the form factor/toughness/transfer is unbeatable (fingernail-size; waterproof, shockproof, x-ray proof; 90MB+ read/write ).
No experience transferring files other than direct from the camera (T2i, GoPro3+) in Fat32 or ExFat, so no help there. Sad to here, for future projects between multiple machines, as I had planned to format an SSD External drive in Fat (although ExFat) just for such needs… -
Hey Chris,
Not quite sure how this is an OS X question, seems more like “Arrays and Raids”, but then you might hear from Herr Zelin and you’re not ready for that. Hypothetical situations rarely exist in the real world: “…computer with multiple FW800 ports”; like what? Mac or PC? Operating system? These are real world facts necessary in answering your questions. If you want a response, we need to know this.
Regardless, a direct connection, as you’ve noted, is your best bet (1 drive/1port). You’re still restricted to the max transfer of FW800 (100MB/s), and unless you have some extra software (Shotput Pro for example), you won’t be copying to more than one drive at a time.
It really comes down to what specific machine you’re working with, the connections, and the drives/raids you copy from/to. “Lets say…” is theortical, and there’s a tremendously practical reasoning at Creative Cow, FYI.. -
Hello again John, full circle on this thread. For the record, I never attempted to downgrade my 2014 15″ MBP, leaving it as a current machine to run future software and upgrade from there as needed.
What I did was buy an Apple refurbished 2012 13″ MBP (9.2: one of the last you can tear apart, as you know), but it came with Yosemite! So I cloned an exact model from work running 10.7.5 to an SSD, now inside the “new” machine. FCS3 runs great on it (asst. edited a feature with FCP7 on Lion w/PluralEyes), and I have a Mt. Lion disk (optical!) to move forward from there as needed (Blackmagic, etc.).
My advice would be to secure a machine of the time to run the older OS X, if you don’t already own one: that window is closing (certainly for original Final Cut). The 2012’s ran Lion, had ethernet,Thunderbolt (1st),Firewire 800, and USB 3 connections, with a factory optical drive (replaceable with an extra drive to edit to). Quite a bridge machine.
This only matters if you cut your teeth with Final Cut Pro 7, and still want to open projects you started with. If not, let the old 32-bit go, and embrace the cloud (w/a copy of CS6 stashed)…p.s. Thanks for your efforts in responding to this page, timely and spot on.

Makes no sense. First off, you don’t have a Canon 5D shooting video, you have a 5D Mark II/III and if it’s recording H.264 (it is) Apple should love it. You don’t mention what operating system you were using before Yosemite, but if you have a 2013 (new cylinder) Mac Pro it was Mavericks.
I reply because I come from a 13″ 2010 MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard was great) left it with good ol’ Mountain Lion and went to Yosemite with my new (2014) 15″ MacBook Pro: and iffy FCP7. So now I use Adobe, hoping to learn Avid. But no problems seeing the cards from my old T2i, mounts like any other drive ( same old DCIM files). Make sure you have the latest firmware updates for the cameraand the latest Apple Pro Video Formats update (current version 2.0.2) via App Store: that should be it. Still have to convert it from the camera to ProRes to edit, but if you’re shooting people (low on action), it still looks great (even on a 40ft screen). Hope this helps some, but it should be working regardless.
p.s. This site is BIG on precise, applicable information of your system, answers are slower with less…ml

Apologies again for the slower response to you than yours. There seems to be some debate over GPU/T-bolt interface (other post). Do you know anyone who’s doing it now, hacked or otherwise? And thank you David, a veteran pro who finds time for this wishing…
