Most certainly will be using it a lot more – already use resolve and fusion for finishing our projects so this is a nice fit.
The way I see it, black magic are going after a part of the market that isn’t too worried about shared projects and defined roles within a team; they are taking aim squarely at the people who fly solo and previously relied on adobe cc or fcpx and motion. £300 for the full resolve license which also includes fusion light and a good editor and a top of the range sound editor that doesn’t require unlearning tracks is a massive offering.

I might go down on the Wednesday Steve. Will be last minute if I can make it though.

Nothing. Nobody? Anyone seeing appallingly slow encode times for h265 video? Anyone actually encoding finished work to h265?

Couldn’t have put it better. As I put in another thread about this, if you only buy fcpx for an encoding tool at £249, if it speeds up your workflow in some cases by twice as much, it’s worth it.

Over twice as fast as resolve for encoding red raw, and adobe way behind even that. Freelancers are soon going to be using fcpx even if it’s for final export.
I’d be really interested to see how someone goes with an egpu connected to an iMac pro…

Vince LaForet just posted something really cool on his Facebook thread about the performance of the iMac pro with fcpx vs adobe vs resolve.
Have a look – very interesting!

Nahhhh, this was beach balls for 30s whilst trying to import a single jpeg to a project that had been worked on for days. I think it was more to do with the compatibility between cc and red helium footage.

I had it twice with large projects last year where the library of footage (all red 8K and 6K raw) when imported to a cc project would slow the project to a crawl when saving, opening, closing or importing new footage. The library was around 7TB in size – contacted adobe support (which is dreadful) and they said to reduce the size of the library by either working in proxy and relinking for final export or to edit chunks together and compile at the end. Didn’t seem viable so worked in FCPX instead.
Perhaps it was a freak, but it seemed to be an acknowledged problem at the time from Adobe; storage was fast and had plenty of space, as did scratch disks and cache so I couldn’t figure out what was causing it other than a software problem.
