I haven’t heard anything official, because (as you say) of Apple’s tight lid; but I would say that everyone expected Apple to change it to 64bit in their last release. Being the kind of company who NORMALLY respond to the wants and needs of their consumers, I would expect their next big release to be 64 bit. The other thing is, has anyone noticed how long it’s taken for them to upgrade from 7.0.2…? I don’t know code that well, is it possible they could write this into and update? Or would it have to be a full reinstall?….Although I suppose they could make an update do that as well…. either way I eagerly await! And if their next one is just ‘Fixed certain bugs’ then I will be pissed…

Just a thought, sorry if I’m being stupid, but I swear mac pros had FireWire 800 ports? Even a g5 mac pro or whatever it is o worked on the other day (g5 tower) had a FireWire 800; did apple really bring out the model up and NOT put one in?

I think these days even if you have one of the new i5 or i7 iMacs using a virtual cluster and frame controls is still reasonably fast, the i5 even managed to beat the latest mac pro entry levels in a lot of respects… So never fear, compressor is here!

I hate to say it, but for that budget you won’t really get desperate amounts of extra out of anything for 200 or less. The g5 is only marginally better but it’s still not great. Also worth mentioningthat whilst all applications use ram a bit, the hardcore stuff (rendering, rt playback) is usually handled mainly by the processor so even doubling ur r won’t make huge amounts of difference; it only really helps if you are switching between apps and have more stuff physically open. So from that sense the marginally better option would probably be the g5 cos it’s a better processor, AND do as much extra ram and fastest hard dire you can afford but they’re secondary. If you’re using final cut though, ur in trouble if your not using a much more powerful ones than what ur describing here unfortunately simply because it would slow down your workflow so much! so I would be careful how much you use the word “serious” in terms of how you edit :p mnd you lots of people are probably shouting at me “the best computers in the world can’t produce a good editor” and “if you have the skill it shouldn’t matter!!!!!” so slap on MY wrist for saying such things 😀

I think I know what you mean, and its simple: select the hard dive you want them all to hav the same icn as (click on it once). Right click and go get info (or cmd+I). Click on the little iconinthe top left in the window which appears, a blue haze should appear round it. Copy with cmd+c, then get info for all the external hard drives you want to change, click on the icon again and paste with cmd+v. To revert you simply select it again and hit delete 🙂

Hmm are you talking about ‘G Chroma Sharpen (Interlaced/ Progressive)’? Because that doesnt seem to do the trick, no matter how I do it…. Also how do you make sure ‘high precision rendering’ is on?
An example of what it looks like is here:
(Ignore the fact it’s overexposed its meant to look/ be coloured like that) but the blocks on her forehead should NOT be there!
The AJA option isnt working either, although software options would be preferable at this point to save time 🙂

No the problem is that they are all going to end up in one “movie” with black between them, but are being edited in separate sequences. As such I was wondering what the best middle ground is sothat when I do my final export they all look the same in regards to aspect ratio because the as stuff is 4:3 and the hdv stuff is 16:9. If I downscale the hdv stuff it all look very squished but if I upscale the 4:3 sd stuff to look the same it will look stretched, and cropping is not ideal, again hence the “middle ground” of the smaller Hd because it means less cropping, less squeezing etc but I didn’t know if there’s a better way when in this scenario?

Dunno if it’s the most efficient way to do it but one way would certainly be to export the single clip you need after you hav rotated etc (export it as an uncompressed QuickTime) then reimported that rotated clip back in and use that? Shouldn’t be toomuch of a hassle…

That may be the case (re fxplugs and extra monitor) but the 4850 with 512mb can MORE than handle all of that. I know cos I do both of those things and look at various monitoring utilities and even then it allruns fine…
