[Victor Perez] “It could be fast yes. But there is a lot more to creating a news piece than just cutting. Accumulating footage, shared storage, cooperating with others, what will be used for playback? File. Tape, Live to air from timeline? Doable, but not sure FCPX can do all thats needed yet.”

Accumulating footage: check
Shared Storage: Check
Cooperating with others: Check
Playback: Not here
Live to air from timeline: Possible with are our Frankenstein setup (have to love the engineers) but not being used yet

Problems: the daily’s editors are to fast and aspected to have a faster turn around.

Works here… only thing that slows down the process are the Journalist.

Interesting theory but then you saying the Mac Pro is the iPod shuffle in Apples computer line up.
So we will see new one soon. 🙂

[Thomas Frank]

No I am not saying that in general that computers run slow doing NLE. Well depends on the software compared to the 4 applications we have the slowest is FCP7, Premiere CS 5.5, FCPX and MC 6 I find equally.
But there is a trend that the FCPX guys are getting edit out faster the MC guys.
Anyway what I was referring to was I hear many complaining about how slow there machine is with only 4 – 6 GB.
In my book 8GB is the minimum 16GB standard for the work horses.
Adding FX and color correction will slow things down, FCPX is doing better here.

Maybe SGI needs to come back with a newer MIPS generation. They had the best OS! 🙂

Why are struggling with your 2008 Mac Pro?
No issues here with the 2008 models. You do have it packed with RAM and a good graphic card,correct?
I see this issue cross the board no matter what system Mac or PC, single to quad core Chips, it’s not going be fast with only 4 GB RAM.

We will see what Apple and Tim Cook will bring us this year. Internet news articles say: Apple’s new CEO is more enterprise friendlier then Steve Jobs was. But again who believes what they read on the net? I guess many or we wouldn’t be talking about FCPX. lol

[Thomas Frank]

its doing poorly cause there is no update!
I think we will see one soon…

[Thomas Frank]

isn’t there a build in filter and an a technic for this in FCPX?

[Thomas Frank]

You are the same guy that will bring back a car cause it has no ashtray? Cause that is the reason why you bought it. hihihihihi
Todays most electronic don’t have on and off just a standby function. But you are right about Apple… to bad everybody copies them.

[Thomas Frank]

lol what are you talking about?
Nope I mean Adobe that makes the Tools so easy so the uncreative know how to use them… lol
oh wait is that the same rout Apple is going thats wired. Not sure what your hang up on the monitors… I would just say that it your fault if get a monitor that you are not happy about.

[Julian Bowman] “You know, the one without an off button, because let’s face it, on/off buttons are complicated and confusing so let Apple decide how and when you can turn it off because life is better when you don’t have to think about turning things off… like the lights in your house, or your car engine when you’re sat in it inside the garage… no, being trained to not think about turning things off is good, we have a surplus of resources on the planet and if we don’t start using them all, where will be put all the iPad mini-maxi-mocha-decaf-latte 9s?”
Like the Automatic transmission, drive in, TV on demand, electrical escalade, Email, cell phone, you mean the convenient way of live? lol Not my fault if fall for it… 😉

Avid has a Send to YouTube button?? I know from the Adobe site that the send to YouTube button does not work in Premiere! lol
