[walter biscardi] “Final Cut Pro’s architecture will now start allowing it to do the same thing, it’s limited in FCP 5.1.2 but I expect that will change dramatically with FCP 6, whenever that is released.”
Not to have the same arguement over and over again here Walter, but FCP now uses FXplug and this is a HUGE HUGE step that has already happened. It is not limited, it is there already.
I suggest you take a look at the FXFactory set of plugins that were released last week and see how blurs can go 5, yes 5 times quicker.
Here is the link, they have a 2 week demo.
https://www.noiseindustries.com/fxfactory/Just to give you an idea of speed, a design that took ten minutes to render in shake & runs at 2fps in motion, runs in realtime using FXplug.
If you half a spare half an hour, give the demo a trial, they are not a replacement for Graemes filters as you implied, just different.
They just might change your mindPeter

The graphics card is now hugely important for FCP & Motion. The continuing development of these programs will see more and more usage of the graphics card opposed to the CPU. For AE, CS & S8, I don’t know.
I’ve been saying for the last six months about the importance of the GPU especially in relation to FxPlug. I’m just finishing writing a plugin using FXPlug that the same effect in Shake took 10 minutes to render, but runs IN REAL TIME in Motion. Truly amazing.
As for the card, I have the ATI in my MP – its probably about the best trade off between price and performance.
Just a guess, but I’d expect to see some beefier cards at NAB.Peter

[Kevin Monahan] “it’s a barrel of monkeys! ;-)”
Kevin, is that the US version of ‘a box of frogs’ ?
Yes you make your effect in QC and then FXF wraps it up into FXPlug

Just let me say that this thing isn’t my software! I’ve been beta testing it for the
guys at Noise Industries for the last few months.Its very cool and depending on how good you are with QC you can do some really amazing stuff.
The Fx packs are excelent too.So please redirect your congartualtions towards Gabriele & Niclas at NI 🙂

I dont’ think these guys’ product encroaches on ‘Our Graeme’s’ set of excellent film plugins.
Nothing stopping you writing your own stuff in QC though.Peter

Jeez, is that where I’ve been going wrong with my PAL easy setup?
