  • I am running the latest Adobe Premiere CC on a mac.

    So take GPU acceleration off and try software only

    PROJECT SETTINGS > General >VIDEO RENDERING AND PLAYBACK = Mercury Playback Engine Software Only.

    Where did you learn about the issues with GPUs, any news on their plans to fix?

    ———————————-

    Activity Monitor shows little system use while a loop is played in Premiere Pro. 97% Ideal CPU, only 16GB of 48 GB memory used.

  • Any help is appreciated, thanks pro team.

  • Test. Thread LIVE?

    Ty,

    No Audio/Video breakout box, or anything. I have a macbook pro and a mac pro with only internal speakers. I’m building the sound setup for editing on the mac Pro. Hopefully it can be used for the macbook pro too.

    I think 5.1 sound would be a great goal. Stereo is good, but I’d like to take it to the next level. 7.1, that’s a lot of monitors. My office is 11’x 11′ with a 8′ roof sloping to 10′ on the high end.

    Thanks Ty. Yeah, I am getting a sound system for my final cut pro editing suit.

    So monitor = speaker right?

    Yeah, that’s what I’m looking for. Quality Monitors and quality sound for projects I edit and do minor sound work on.

    What would you recommend? Are there any good articles you might suggest or reviews to check out?

    Thanks,

    Will Keir

    Russ,

    You sounds like your know your stuff, been editing with RED footage much?

    It’s good to hear confirmation of my thoughts and I appreciate your intelligent response. My primary goal is going to be festival projection. I’m not sure if I’ll edit with ProRes HQ or use the proxies. I wish I could answer this question, this whole raid card SAS/SATA issue has taken up much of my time. I’m thinking I would like to editing in the highest quality settings. It’s why I bought a brand new 2009 Mac Pro but I am not sure on how to do this exactly. Any work flow you’ve found works best?

    It seems like coloring from the R3D’s is going to give me the most information and highest quality on the grade. So I’d like to be able to go back and forth. I also heard that ProResHQ files can reattach to R3D files. Can you shed any light on this process?

    Finally… been editing with RED footage? I’d love to see samples of your work and the power of the tools I now have.

    Best,

    Will Keir

    what does a MXO add to an apple cinema display? Does it help with the ghosting issues I’m sure a 16ms like the 30″ will have? Does it change this value? Is it similar to a canopus device I used to use for monitoring out to my TV?

    Little did I know before this post, I was thinking “ah price isn’t a big deal, I’ll get something good,” that the “good stuff” is over 10k, CHRIST! So I’m limited. You have any idea what sort of specs to look for in my purchase?

    Thanks for responding quickly to my post,

    Will Keir
