Thank You very much for Your answers but I asked about % CPU usage during Premiere renderings. I am wondering how well or how bad PPro using multi core cpus during playing, rendering, etc. using BMD codec files.
It is very easy nowadays to build machine around Intels Quadcores. The problem is will Premiere actually use multi cores in proper way? All I can see now is about 60% CPU usage rendering from PPro time line on Core2Duo :/ I am asking myself for what build powerfull multicore pc for PPro if it will not use all aviable computing power?
On the other system side Apple claims maximum usage of new 8-cores macs while using FCP and achieving huge real time power this way.
Any FCP user to say something about realtime (I mean play in RT without rendering) color corection on Macs?
Thank`s in advance.Robert Falkowski

Thank You! Indeed it seams very fast. You do mean PPro RGB color correction. Do You? 1:1 render time is nice but still not real time.
BTW: Could You check CPU performance monitor (in %) while rendering RGB color correction?Robert Falkowski

Define “very fast” 😉
In fact I want it real time, no render. As I can see it is impossible on Premiere Pro. Asking about FinalCut 🙂 I have a month to decide which platform to use Win+PPro or Mac+FC. Price is almost the same for strong configuration.Robert Falkowski

Thank You. I thought that Prores is HD only.
BTW: Is Finalcut with BM-D really so “everything HQ RT” on new 8-cores macs? May I ask for example about something like color correction? On PremierePro (running C2D oc to 3,4GHz) it kills RT instantly.

Tried that already. Different HD projects outputted to MBPro down converting to SD PAL give me a bit green tint on rendered parts.
Second (swapped) MBPro and result is the same :/
Strange is that rendered files are ok in fact. When down conversion is off Premiere overlay shows proper colors. They appear greenish only played via down conversion process. It seams that all HD to SD settings gives me more (unwanted of course) green level playing BM-D codecs files. Driver fault or what?Robert Falkowski

Yes, in SD everything seams fine. In HD to SD rt downconversion I get vertical lines and green tint on renders (only outputing, files are OK!).
BTW: I asked a dealer to swap tested MBPro to the other one. Will check.
BTW: I have a decision problem with edit platform. Premiere uses multicores so poorly and FCPro (on papers) do everything realtime on new macs… Can BM-D use (capture, edit, output) any compression in SD on FCPro similar to mjpeg on Windows?Robert Falkowski

Hello again!
Although my previous post was ignored…
May I ask a little more attention this time? 😉
I am running test before buy project on MBPro (6.1.2 drv) and I found so far one major problem, actually it is very strange.I am trying to edit (just for fun, thank`s God!) few clips taken from JVC 720p25 in HDV form. It seams impossible to watch them on SD PAL monitor (HD to SD downconvert) from BMD 720p50 Premiere project. Jerky playback now and then but downconvertion is very bad (lots of vertical lines, flickers and detail faults). When I use those clips on BMD SD Pal mjpeg project and downsacle them on timeline it plays fine but in fact need to be rendered with deflick option to look good. IMHO the better result I get using the same clips upconverted in BMD 1080i50/p25 Premiere project. This time hardware downconvertion on PAL monitor looks maybe a bit too soft but overall quality is IMHO very good. I mean Multibridge Pro outputting HD resolution on PAL monitor. I need this setup to edit in HD but PTT to Betacam SP recorder. It looks like 1080 to SD is good but 720 to SD is bad.
Now the main problem… While RT hits limit U need to render. Right? Now is a problem with this. Every little bit of rendered videos on HD timeline even with zero FX manipulation have strange levels shift with tendency to fall a bit to green color and add vertical ghost lines. So “red line not rendered” portion has good color and it changes to bit greener and with ghosting lines after rendering. This “thing” is non existent in SD projects.
Can U explain why is that? I do not know if it is a RT down conversion problem or codec rendering fault. This seams unacceptable for me and in current state I will stop my experiments and will wait for Yours answers. Am I missing something?Robert Falkowski
