You might be absolutely right, just frustrated by the broken illusions of ‘realtime effects’ unless you have one of three cards…

On the Magma page (https://www.magma.com/thunderbolt.asp) under ‘Thunderbolt Compatible Drivers’ it only lists 10Gb Ethernet NIC’s from Small Tree. Are the Gigabit cards not supported (i.e. PE2G6I)?

EDIT: Ah! Just saw your email 😉 Thanks, so all Small Tree NIC’s are supported for hot swappable, excellent.

Sorry about the rant, having some really annoying issues with Premiere Pro CS5.5 and thinking of switching to Avid or even Final Cut Pro X..

WHY on earth is this not made available for iMac’s??

Seriously, Adobe have been pushing switching to Premiere from Final Cut while the most bought system for editing THESE DAYS is an iMac. Read blogs about NAB last week and iMac’s dominated the floor..

What’s the hold-up?

Ahhhhhh!

This old friend still hasn’t been fixed in Motion 5. Truly annoying.

Motion 5 project which shows the bug. 2978_oscillatebug.motn.zip

I’ve sent a report to Apple but we’ll see if they’ll do anything about it.

A workaround though: Move the Ramp behaviour or the keyframes which effect the Oscillate behaviour to Frame 1 or 0 whichever is your first frame and it’ll work. Even through the actual oscillate behaviour is way down the timeline. Odd but works.

On the Motion forum, Alan McCormick tested this with Motion 5 using a MacBook Pro and Mac Pro (both running Motion 5 at the same time with the same Apple ID) and it worked fine without receiving any messages or issues. I’m still checking that they were both on the same network when he tested this.

I hope this works on more than two computers on same network and above all – Apple doesn’t change this in consequent updates!

[Pj Palomaki]

This is excellent news. Thanks for testing – I hope it works the same on more than 2 computers using same ID.

Oh just one question, I assume they were both on same network (wired or wireless)?

[Pj Palomaki]

Ok, but this haven’t been tested yet?

Also the bigger question is what will happen if you run a copy on two or more machines? Will it only let it run on one as the old FCS did?

[Pj Palomaki]

[Chris Kenny] “The copy protection is super low-key. You can install an App Store app on any number of systems authorized on your iTunes account. With pro apps like Final Cut you’re required to buy one copy per user or per multiuser system (so for instance, you can use your personal copy on a laptop and desktop, but in a facility each edit bay should have a separate copy purchased for it), but this appears to be on the honor system, so you’re not going to have some issue in the future where you can’t run software you’ve paid for because the copy protection system has gotten cranky.”

So how does this work in practice? If you have, let’s say 5 editing stations, would you have to have 5 Apple IDs and each have FCPX purchased? Or is there a way to say “I want to be able to run 5 copies of FCPX on this Apple ID” and then use the same Apple ID? How is the usage limited in the software – the same as old FCP where it gives “Protection Error” and quits if more than one copy is running?

And would this all apply to Motion 5 & Compressor 4 as well?

Would really appreciate an answer!

Thanks,
PJ

Is this how the new FCPX, Motion 5 & Compressor 4 are licensed as well? Can they be installed on multiple systems and run simultaneously? Would really love to get an answer to this…

Thanks guys!
