The answer is no. When they post they have released the drivers, they will be available.

I am curious to see how the soon to be released cards based on the K20 technology compare to my GTX 570 which is giving me great performance on CS6.

Greg, just a side note.After years with a 2008 Mac Pro running the Q4000, I also switched to a PC.

After lots of research into tests performed by editors, I realized the best bang for buck would be running a GTX 570, not the Q2000 that my HP Z820 came stock with.

I find it interesting that editors in the field that primarily use PrP and AE are realizing that the big push by Nvidia and Adobe for the Quadros is not the way to go with the high performance of the current generation of this kind of card.

I know the word “professional” is bandied about a lot when comparing the Q and the GTX cards, but lots of statistics indicate which is the best bang for buck AND performance.

Glad to help. I dont use C4D so Im not sure about that work flow. I just know its works great for most shots in AE. Good luck!

I am providing you an alternate method of using the 3D tracker. I have used this approach successfully with a variety of shots needing 3D tracking.

If you are interested in a technique that that doesnt use camera information but gives rock solid trackers, here you go.

Adobe Cinema DNG is a raw camera format that is not supported much these days. The files are humongous and unwieldy .

Prores and DNxHD are codecs designed to look great and stay small. That is why they are supported by so many professionals in the industry. Many cameras generate these files as well, but they are good to edit and master with also.

Since its in a Quicktime Wrapper (so you need that installed on your PC), it will be listed under QuickTime – DNxHD in the list. Then you open an option box to choose the flavor of DNxHD you want

Ha ha. Green fingernails on a green chroma key screen. Your client aint to bright.

I did pull a nice key using Keylight, but the nails were red. Hours of rotoscoping with Mocha or Rotobrush might work, but I wouldnt wish that on my worst enemy.

Sorry you have to deal with this silliness 🙁

Thats just one of a million questions you will experience using CS6 on Windows at first.

Having made the switch within the last year, I strongly recommend you purchase this book. The work flow is quite different that FCP. You really need to understand how it works to avoid headaches in the future.

That said, most professional editors I know with powerful PCs just edit natively on the timeline then export to a DNxHD master file. PCs dont have the clearance from Apple to create Prores files. They can however read them.

You experience with PrP will be based on how well you configure your computer to power the Adobe Mercury Playback Engine. Fast CPUs, lost of ram, Nvidia GPUs supporting CUDA and fast raid arrays will insure a positive experience.
