Pretty spoilt by ISP service in the UK. Studio is rural and still gets 80MB/s down and 25 up.

Home is in York, and gets around 920MB/s down and 350MB/s up.

Both services are around £30 per month.

Dolby Vision as standard seems like an intriguing proposition, as until now it has been a very expensive HDR deliverable via DaVinci Resolve. Are we going to see Dolby exports in FCPX soon….??

As for the camera – yes it looks lovely, as 99% of other cameras will do in Emmanuel Lubezki’s hands; but the big question is how those images stand up to…

Yep – exactly the same for us.

Fabulous. Thanks for this.
I’ve been stuck in a rut with audition for years and trying to move to logic – little things like being able to add latency to video signal on your output monitor to assist with ADR and audio mastering is brilliant.

Hi Terry,
We have the 16 core Mac Pro with an afterburner card, Pro Vega II and a Vega VII installed. We got the base level of RAM and upgraded to 256GB afterwards.
Working with ProRes, its incredibly fast. Afterburner does make a difference to encode times; not a huge amount, but if you are exporting hours of footage, that will be minutes of time… Read more

I think the next red release will be a big one, and something that goes after blackmagic’s price point in the market with the Komodo. They don’t go to NAB but I’d imagine they have it stored up for release to piggyback on another cameras release later this year

Had to revisit Premiere 2020 for a collaborative edit. My god it is slow compared with FCP. Scrubbing, previewing rushes, start stop on timeline all feel like the keyboard has been covered with treacle, and as a final complaint, how on earth do you cope with the media re-link tool in Premiere; it just doesn’t work anywhere near as well as FCP.… Read more

The 2019 Mac Pro is very quick at encoding to h264 and HVEC compared with the iMac Pro. Presume this means that hardware encoding is enabled.
