It sounds like ProRes is really the trump card in Mac’s hand. It’s just such a good set of codecs and have become very ubiquitous in post world (especially smaller stuff). And that is one big reason to stay on Mac.

I was playing around with a windows install and by default it had 4 codecs, all of them last updated around 1996. Not good news. It would actually be a HUGE power move right now for Adobe to come out and write a competitor to ProRes that’s multi platform.

Stability comes from running server CPU and motherboard (Xeon). But you will still save a ton of money because, for one, you can get a 7 slot motherboard, saving you several thousand on a PCI expander.

It’s a mixed bag. You’re absolutely right though, porting Linux > Mac is an easier task than porting to Windows. If there was a windows version, I’d personally try to use it over mac. Seems like a few other people would as well. But whether it’s all worth BM the development time, only they know.

Some more rumors to mull over:

I’d take a giant motherboard over more processors though

Hi Darin,

Could you please walk us through the process you discovered?

Andy, try grabbing a still, and then open the still’s node graph. You can from there drag nodes into your grade over and over.

I just opened this up and the memories are empty. Not sure why – is it possible A-Z don’t get exported? Maybe it’s better to make some stills?

The grades are there though so I can just duplicate the nodes for the same effect.

Well the math for that certainly sounds like it makes sense – double the GPU, double the performance.

What’s interesting though is that even your beefy system can’t go below 3-radius.

Aha, interesting. I am running single 285 + 120 for UI off of internal software RAID, and can’t get realtime denoising. (22fps at radius 4, 13.5fps at radius 3)

Do you have a 3rd GPU for GUI, or do you have the displays plugged into one of the 285s?

Paul, what GPU setup are you running on your system?

The tricky part might be taking storage read/write out of the equation. If it’s all done on the same system, that’s easy, but if you want this test to be performable by everyone I think that might be the biggest X factor.

Would it make sense to use SD or 720p media with read/write from a single drive, and then ramp up blur nodes until it falls under realtime?
