My GTX 680 is on the way from Newegg. I will see how it compares to my hacked GTX 570, but the Cuda increase alone should be a good enough reason to increase speed.

I already have two perpetual licenses of CS6. If I sign up for the cloud, can I still install one cloud license on two machines? ie a Mac Pro and a Macbook pro?

[Richard Cardonna] “I llke this forum kinda reminds me of the old discreet edit* forums, all 3. In the sense that everyrhing was discussed.
Richard”
I sometimes pine for my edit* with it’s power-packed dual Pentium Pro 200 Netserver (>$60K) loaded with it’s huge $2,500 9gb HP hard drives.
Actually no I don’t at all…
The greatest thing about Premiere has to be you can dump any format/frame rate on the timeline and start working with it natively. The log transfer/proxy QT thing drove me nuts on FCP7, especially when we shipped projects to other shops and the whole damn project had to be re-log/transferred because the QT render conversions had got lost along the way. I don’t know why so many FCP users (not here) are either;
a) afraid of Premiere
b) hate it outright
c) or bag it out as amateur/film school stuffIt’s moved along in leaps and bounds since CS5.

Adobe have the 40% off NAB cloud special for a couple of more days. Works out at $30 a month for the first year. I run two perpetual licenses (Mac and PC). Just wondering if I should buy a cloud sub now if CS5 is just around the corner.
Decisions………

Thanks guys. I’ve 32gb RAM, 240gb SSD system drive, 8tB RAID with Highpoint 4322 SAS card, so the Mac is pretty maxxed at the moment. I’m wondering if fewer cores but faster clock-speed will give performance a boost.

I am getting the same hideous bloating on Mac and I’m not even using warp. My project jumped from 120mb to 5.88Gb overnight. The project take 30minutes to save or open. I am not impressed.

[Tom Daigon] ”
If you have the latest drivers for your BM device, Adobe Transmit (new to CS6) lets you use regular Adobe sequences from now on.You get great performance and CUDA if you have a graphics card that supports it.”Thanks Tom,
That really seems to fix the playback issues. I guess Adobe is just using the Decklink as a monitoring I/O device without using the card for processing. Seems to work. Many thanks.

It’s more complicated for us. We get literally hundread of lower thirds and captions from the agency’s graphic department which we which often have to ammend with small changes. Hence we can’t rasterise. I need to directly edit the supplied Mac PSD’s from tiem-to-time, so that’s what I’m looking for in a PC solution.

Hmmm…tried FontXChange. Even with the Mac font converted to True Type Windows, the Mac Photoshop file does not open correctly in Windows Photoshop. I get some crazy font substitution. This is probably a question for another forum.
