No effects on the timeline , just clips. I guess my workflow might necessitate checking out Avid since not using the Kona is not an option. Thanks for the info David.

Hi Jason. I use Kona 3 since some clients still have material on tapes, as well as HD-SDI to a engineering monitor for QC and client viewing. In the Adobe literature Ive read. it says the process of playback involves decoding, which CUDA does not do.That is a function of the CPU if I understand correctly. A moot point due to my Kona workflow.

Your welcome Peter. Yes, the dynamic link is a wonderful gift to editors that use AE. And Boris Red really fills in a void in PrP that needed addressing.

Peter, I am unable to install The latest version of Red 5 that I just purchased on my Mac Pro. The installer that came with it only has a CS4 installation as an option. How did you work around installing for CS 5.5?

The only thing Ive heard of that vaguely resembles what you are describing was in FCP. Canon bought from Gluetools an app that allowed you to convert h.264 to Prores. It also would look at the time of day data in the clip and lock it into real timecode. But it does you no good in your situation.

Chris, yes I have a Mac Pro now. I used to have a fine Dell several years ago. If Premiere Pro is your choice of NLE, I suggest exhaustive research on the performance of PrP with both computer platforms.
I went to Mac Pro in order to use FCP. I abandoned FCP X and came to the strongest contender at the moment. Both platforms have a lot to offer and some short comings as well. But base your decision on hard facts not emotional attachments of others. My system is solid and I never worry about viruses. Compare contemporary units (mine is 3 years old) to see how they do with CS 5.5. The best of luck and happy comparison shopping 🙂Tom Daigon

Sorry Tim but I have little patience for snide comments (like Daves) that serve little purpose other than to belittle others folks choice of computers and stroke the ego of the antagonist. I dont care for pissing contests at all. But I will be damned if I tolerate sniping from others. I didnt like it when Avid users did it or when FCP users did it and I dont like it when PC users do it. Unless I start complaining about my setup and ask for advice on alternative computers to purchase, any snotty retorts about one system being superior to another are unrequested and inappropriate.
Yes its a shame that PrP users were treated with a lack of respect in the past. Is that a good reason for them to act in the same disrespectful manner to others?
Lets agree to disagree and make a deal. I wont make fun of yours as long as you dont make fun of mine.
In 30 years of editing I have used and loved many systems (CMX, Avid Media Composer, Avid DS, FCP). I have worked in video production facilities that were both mac and pc based. Editing is a labor of love for me. I get no happiness from denigrating other software, hardware or human beings. But I guess in this phase of my life I have little patience suffering foolish comments like the one that spawned this diatribe.Tom Daigon

Dave- “Win7 is better than Mac OSX, unless it’s all you know.”
Hey Dave, all I know is after years on Windoze, living with a constant concern with threats of viruses and malware, and trying to stay current with the latest virus definitions, and concern when I went to new websites to get needed media…Im never going back. My current system flew with FCP and jets with Premiere Pro. And with support from great developers like Adobe and AJA I have a system that isnt top heavy with old code and riddled with operational flaws. But you seem to like it…probably because its all YOU know.
