You have to use GoPro’s software to prep the footage first, AFAIK.

Good video. Thanks for posting.

Some more PC numbers to compare from Boxx. Scroll down on this page.

[Bill Davis] “So putting code support for that into the next X release seems like a no-brainer that will potentially benefit lots of X editors, even if they don’t spring for CheeseGrater Redoux!”

I think that’s too much of an assumption, unless they are running multiple GPUs.

[Eric Santiago] “Man I remember the ICE cards loaded on the same box as our Avid Meridien.”

I’m a veteran of both the ICE card and the RED Rocket-X card. What’s interesting is that in spite of FPGA, the RED Rocket-X card was still made obsolete by changes in RED’s own color science. And FWIW – the RAW DeBayer quality looked different using the RR card versus CPU. Not better or worse, just different.

[Bill Davis] “whatever used to call just the CPU or the GPU will need to now integrate calls to these new technologies for the future.
I don’t understand why this is confusing.”

I’m confused, because that’s exactly what Metal is all about. Apple is already in the second iteration of Metal (current OS). A number of apps like Pixelmater Pro and Affinity take advantage of this, too. As do Premiere and Resolve. That’s what FCPX has been doing all along. Right? So what’s different now?

[Bill Davis] “Adobe spent a significant time encoding CUDA processes in the quest for increased performance.”

Not just Adobe, but everyone except Apple.

[Bill Davis] “I expect Adobe is still working to leverage CUDA to the max – and it appears Apple is taking time to leverage Metal to the max.”

All cross-platform developers are leveraging both.

[Bill Davis] “it looks like there are some fundamental processing pathway changes that these new processes enable. An FCP X code refresh seems like just common sense. “

Well, my guess is that – and my testing tends to bear this out – that FCPX has not been capable of taking advantage of the combination of multiple GPUs when installed. Apps like Resolve do. So with up to 4 GPUs available in this configuration, my guess is that FCPX is playing a bit of catch-up. Same for Motion and Compressor, I would imagine.

Note Premiere’s support for multiple GPUs in this video.

[Bill Davis] “CP X/Metal re-write currently underway might yield”

This has me a bit puzzled. Why should there be any rewrite? FCPX has “supposedly” been fully Metal-enabled all along. Or was that just marketing BS? Seems to me that if there is a rewrite of code going on (bear in mind its probably 10 years old at this point) then FCPX is possibly in worse shape than its competitors.

And just as an FYI – Apple is making speed comparisons based on a quad GPU set-up. That’s basically 4 of the top-of-the-line GPU cards from the current iMP line. Of course, in FCPX, that will be 4X faster. Duh! Seems like a huge expense compared with 1 or 2 Nvidia 2080 cards ☺

Get them a loaded Mini with an eGPU Pro ????

Loaded iMac Pro or PC. The iMac Pros or even a loaded iMac would be perfect for graphic design. If you want the best performance for AE without breaking the bank, then $4-6K (plus displays) will get you a PC that will outperform the iMP because of Nvidia/CUDA options. We are using iMPs, but a PC with a 2080 card will benchmark much faster.
