[Rich Rubasch] “Are you sure you have Open CL chosen as your renderer and not set to Software? That would also do it!”

That should only affect basic effects that use GPU power and rendering. It *shouldn’t* affect regular media playback of the timeline or browser clips. It’s those function where Premiere will stutter and not show full frame rate on that vintage of a machine with media higher than HD. In my experience, FCPX will do just fine with the same type of media.

Yep. Media performance on a laptop once you get above HD – and with a taxing codec – challenges Premiere Pro. I have the mid-2014 model (similar to yours, but with the last Nvidia cards) and FCPX definitely performs better on that machine with type of media. However, I’m currently cutting some C100 H264 HD stuff on Premiere on that machine (native media, multicam, color correction), and it’s very smooth. Generally HD ProRes is also very easy in Premiere on that MBP.

[Bill Davis] “Luminar is doing a LOT of work in incorporating AI into their photo processing suite.”

Just as an FYI – Pixelmator Pro also uses a number of machine learning functions.

[Michael Gissing] “It looks like an interesting program and probably perfect for a lot of applications. However it is a typical layer system not nodal, so it is like Ps & Affinity. “

Although this conversation seems largely focused on photo image manipulation, one advantage to the Affinity apps is that they cover the other bases for print/graphic design, illustration, and desktop publishing. That’s if you get Photo, Designer, and now Publisher. The latter actually integrates the first 2 as modes, which you can quickly toggle through (you must purchase the other apps for this functionality). This ends up working a bit like the modes/pages in Resolve. In any case, it’s a far site better than Adobe’s “edit in” method.

Yes, this is all of their plugins, which are 12 effects, generators, and transitions. These are only for FCPX. I wouldn’t read anything into this one way or the other. Their main focus has been the Speedscriber transcription software/service for a while.

Seems to be an offshoot of HitFilm.

However, if you want the best Photoshop (and other Adobe) alternatives, look at Serif or Pixelmator. The Serif Affinity products now are the equivalent of Photoshop, Illustrator, and inDesign. To cover the Lightroom base, probably ON1 Photo RAW is the way to go.

[Benoit Schrijnemakers] “My question is: is there a better way to get a more natural look (maybe natively within premiere pro instead of replacing the clip with an After Effects comp)?”

Since this is being done as a speed effect, you might try changing the interpolation to optical flow. There is also a Transform effect in the palette that includes shutter angle. There is also a modified preset version of this in the Jarle’s Preset package.

If you are using Resolve, you are stuck with BMD gear for i/o. There will always be latency with their devices when the a/v path is going through 2 separate units. I have separate audio and video i/o and have found that it’s a crapshoot with Resolve. Sometimes you push play and it’s dead-on, then the next time it isn’t.

With BMD your only choices are the UltraStudio 4K products, but I don’t see where they support 5.1. Maybe via HDMI output? Or maybe something in tandem with their Fairlight hardware. But the BMD website largely buries the Fairlight hardware, so I don’t know the answer to that.

I would suggest going the ProTools or Logic Pro X mastering route if you want to do it right with your client.

Render ProRes Proxy from Resolve. Bring those files into FCPX and edit as if master media. Send FCPXML back to Resolve (do not automatically import media). Relink to the original media in the Media Pool. Finish.

[Michael Gissing] “I suspect the WIN VST platform for plugins is far more robust”

Just circling back on this one in regards to Resolve as a host. After some more testing, I’ve concluded that the issue may well be with the Mac App Store version of Resolve 15 and not the versions you download directly from Blackmagic. I retested on my home machine running the R16 Beta and it all worked correctly there. The work machines are running the MAS version and that’s where I’ve encountered issues.
