[Jan Bliddal] “Let the machine work for you. Not you for the machine”
I think you might be missing the point here, it doesn’t really matter what card is where or how many gig of ram a machine has.
It was a quick comparison
Am I going to spend all day editing on a MacBookPro? Of course not, but I’m curious to know what its like compared to one of my G5s.

Mitch,
OK, very unscientific, not even a white coat, clipboard or backlit over chroma’d CSI lab, but here goes:-
I used the clip ’10_cu feed sharks devour’ off the content disks (PAL version) which is about 35 seconds long DV PAL
I then ‘compressed this into the DVD Best Quality 90 minutes preset (all)The G5 did it in 1’14”
The MBP did it in 1’39”maybe not what you wanted to hear! Other Intel users feel free to chip in 😉

So they are going to port FCP to windows to run on a XP booted MacBookPro?
Wasn’t April the First on Saturday?
Peter
Then again with NAB round the corner LOL!

Yes, go for Universal as you get FCS 5.1 for PPC too.
Don’t miss this great opportunity to upgrade 😉
Peter

OK not very scientific but here goes..
I took the FCP Apple_Pro_Training_Tutorials-Pal (of course!) and copied the folder to both hard drives.
Then opened up the sequence “Mastering Features Finsished”
With the firewire disk set as the scratch disk etc I selected all the clips then hit render all.1’25” for the MBP, 1’12” for the G5 (all as previous posts)
OK so the speed of the boot drive might be a problem here, so I copied the project onto the firewire drive and ran the test again:
1’03” for the MBP and 57” for the G5 Thats bit closer!
Now how about just rendering one clip with a filter – OK how about emboss in the Quicktime filter folder.
17″ for the G5, but the MBP did it in 12″
So there you go, as I said not very scientific but a good reason to wait until the Intel boxes come out…
Can I go to bed now?

Just tried all the above with a 23inch cinema plugged into the MBP AND IT IS STILL FASTER THAN THE G5!
I hope the Intel towers get released at NAB 🙂

Pierre,
Interesting have you tried instaling any AE filters at all to see what happens ??
