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 manipulation and grading that will be required for higher end outputs; also – much of the character of an image is derived from its lens and its relationship with the sensor and its colour space…. this isn’t going to be a changeable option in a meaningful way so its an interesting topic to delve into.
It could be the best b-roll camera available though….

Yep – exactly the same for us.

We have an Otari 16 channel tape recorder with control unit that was purchased in the mid 1980s for around £34,000 (c.£98,000 today) which is used as coffee table. Analogue stuff is depressingly worthless.

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.

Completely agree.
Anyone here tried editing with a 3 year old and a 1 year old in the same house?

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 saved. You can look at bare feats to show the increase in speed.
Based on the tests that bare feats have published, a sweet spot might be to use the cheaper 5700XT which way outperforms the base level GPU, and offers good thunderbolt 3 connectivity. Radeon VIIs are reasonably cheap and can be installed to offer even more performance boosts in resolve when grading and noise reducing footage.
Unless you work with 3D models and very complex Ae pieces, 24 cores probably won’t be utilised all that often.
We are using ours for multiple layers of 8K ProRes 60p footage in a VR project, as well as the noise reduction and grading in Resolve. The improvement in performance over a top spec iMac Pro has been very, very impressive.
I’m not spending your money, but based on what we have experienced, and what you are looking at doing, a 16 core with an afterburner should be very quick.

I just don’t have the same issues at all with relinked media in fcp. Shared drive, unique raid, thunderbolt m2 drive – it’s just one click in relink and it finds the files immediately. If you want you can point it to one file and it auto finds all the others but it’s so reliable it’s one of my favourite features of fcp.
It’s even more impressive when working with postlab – one relink to a local drive when working from home and it’s done. Just can’t get on with premiere’s relink tool.
