Yea im assuming if someone is using RED on a daily basis they already have the ROCKET card.. A far as the FXAnimation people, sure they’ll probably need more of a computer with the graphic cards and whatnot of there choice , but i dont do special fx or animation besides regular After Effects, so for us editors that just edit Film and Video, thunderbolt is huge.
Just the fact i can get broadcast out, out of an imac, with few different solutions to choose from now, makes me happy, and at the same time have legit, fast raid storage readily available makes he happy.
