I enjoy the Multi-Processing … I noticed a huge difference from AE 7 to CS3 on our MacPro 8Core …
I also work alot with XDCAM (Sony EX3) footage … and still runs smoothly.
My settings on my system I am using 75% of 4gb on a 6gb Machine … (Installed)
So far … no issues.I usually though only run AE and close Safari and Mail and the Office Programs. I also tap Caps Lock on so that FCP doesn’t try to generate a video preview as well and seems to speed up the renders for AE slightly.
Now this works for me.

AWESOME!!!
The After Effects way didn’t really do it well at all … It gave it another effect. Which actually works in another graphics I am working on … but that’s another story.
The FurnaceCore Effects worked WONDERFUL … which is good I have quite a bit of footage that I would have had a headache sending to AE and rendering each one.
Initially the DeFlicker doesn’t do too much … a little but not alot at first. So I was a bit disappointed, but after reading the Instructional PDF that comes with the plug-in, I was able to better understand the parameters.
There is a vector Detail and Clamp filter parameter that works REALLY good together if set correctly. I was able to ELIMINATE it all. … but word to the wise it does take A BIT OF TIME TO RENDER. … but to render a bit faster – just turn off the “Use Motion” button. That is only used if the camera is moving (Pans and Tilts).
Thanks guys … that worked perfectly.

OH Great thanks … I will look into that as well.
If it saves the footage then I believe the company I work for won’t even care about the cost.

Honestly … I have found alot of benefit for the 8-Core MacPro is quite a nice for many editors.
But if you only, occasionally need alot of demand from the computer, then the iMac Quad is a good choice. I have tested out HD Footage in ProRes on the Quad iMac and it runs pretty well.
What you should consider is speed.
-Speed of external information. Since you were talking about an external raid, I would recommend you look into eSata. The MacPro’s can have an eSata adapter plugged in that gives you a faster speed for your demanding files.
-Speed of graphical demand. I did notice a big difference if you are working on like AE and Rendering out some complex Photoshop. As for rendering times on FCP, the quad iMac stayed pretty close to the speed of the MacPro.I think a new computer would be best. Your old Macbook Pro will just frustrate you later, though you could get by with the Macbook Pro … you will still get the frustration.
And you have to have more reason to go for the iMac besides it’s beautiful display and processor. I would think long term to make sure you will be happy with your machine for years to come and will meet your demanding creative needs.Good luck with your choice.

For me …
I have had really good luck with making an h.264 file from Final Cut.
Are you using the “Quicktime Movie” Export from FCP or the “Quicktime Conversion” Export in FCP?
If you are using the “Quicktime Movie” Export from FCP with self-contained chosen, it doesn’t work well.
I say use “Quicktime Conversion” Export then change the “Options” to:
h.264 = with Best Settings and Faster Encode for web.
Then change the size to what you need.
Also select Faster Encode on the bottom to make sure it creates a nice size file for Web.In Flash: Load your movie to the Stage and choose High Settings then choose Progressive Download.
then choose finish and let Flash Work. … Test Your movie once you are done.
Now this is what I do and has worked well for me.

Oh sweet … Thank you. I will try that.
Sorry, I thought the Flicker Filter on FCP was for that. Hmmm … I know it helps with thin lines on Text but I also thought it was to take out some filter from Overhead lights (Fluorescent lights) and Pal footage on a NTSC timeline.
Thanks for the info.

I appreciate it Shane. And that’s what I figured.
As for the network and everyone sharing the clips … I totally forgot about the fact that the sequences would have the same names. Yeah even batch capture would have a new hate for our new names as well.
Thanks again.
