Thanks for the info, Norman! Btw, please do take a stab at my following question if you have some time. Just trying to give I.T. the best recommendation.

Thanks so much, John.

Just a couple more things so that I can properly inform I.T.:

How important for timeline playback are other items like the number of CPU cores and CPU speed, RAM, and hard drive speeds and arrays?

Just a little background on my aforementioned “bottleneck.” Timeline playback performance in Vegas alone has been acceptable, even with multiple filters applied. It gets dicey when I begin using Boris RED as a plugin. On my last project for which I used Boris RED for all animations (see vid below), it would take minutes for a single frame to render on the timeline in Preview mode, in both the Vegas timeline and in RED’s.

I.T.’s solution was to give me 4GB more of RAM. At the time of producing the video below, my machine had dual Xeon quad-cores, two drives, 4GB RAM, and an AMD FirePro W7000.

I may have an opportunity to get a new workstation instead of just getting a new GPU if I can make a valid argument for one. Do you think there would be a substantial improvement with an all-around better workstation or would I get what I’m looking for with a new Radeon GPU as you’ve recommended?

Btw, the new workstation that I’ve spec’d out has dual hex cores, a RAID 0 array with a solid state boot drive, 32GB RAM, and would have the Radeam R9 that you’ve recommended.

Marcus,

I can’t thank you enough for the encouragement, and I mean it. I’m a Sales Engineer who just started doing this for my company just because I like doing it more than configuring spreadsheets; so I’m often not confident about how my work really measures up in the creative community. I just love it! To get such encouragement from guys like you and Peter to me is priceless and motivates me to continue to push and dream big.

I’ll take you up on the offer to interface more with the folks at Boris. I cut my teeth on Boris RED and Vegas; so I believe in the products, and I continue to learn with each project.

If you’d like to stay in contact, please look me up on LinkedIn!

Thanks again, Marcus!

Sure thing, Marcus!

Here’s one I did back in 2013:

And here are a couple from a product marketing series I did this year:

As with anything I’ve done up to this point, I produced these end-to-end

Hey, my pleasure! Boris has been a huge help to me and fun to learn.

I’ve got other examples of animation with Boris RED out there if you want to see them; just let me know!

Gotcha. Thank you, sir.

Russ,

I see how you did it, and it had nothing to do with the focal length…it was much easier than that. Looks like you got the exaggerated perspective by scaling the Z dimension way high in comparison to the others. I’ll try the same.

Thanks much!

Awesome! Will do. Thanks, Russ.
