I am a DIT and have recently put together a rig that consists of the Sonnet Echo Pro, their pcie eSata 6g card with 4 eSata ports and a red rocket. I know that speeds slow down when you are reading and writing to the same drive ( almost to 3g speeds by my experience) and it looks like the...

Maple or pork?

Hello everyone... It's that time of the year where I need a new comp... I do a lot of After Effects and Final Cut Pro and Photoshop stuff with my computer and was thinking of moving up to the 2.8 ghz i7 Macbook Pro (I need mobility with my editing) but I have heard rumors that the i7 is not a...

I am looking to get a new mac pro. I cannot afford to do the 12 core system and was wondering if it would be better for me and my editing (Final Cut pro, Adobe Premier, After Effects, Nuke, Maya) if I were to get a 3.33 6 core or 2 2.4 quad core processors? What is the advantage to doing the...

Yea... I tried and Compressor is a bit faster... times are still off and the quality at the same settings is not as good (Unless going to an MPG2 or an apple native format such as QT H.264) This would be the first thing I would think of except the last time I talked with Apple Support it was...

Hi, <- My casual Greeting Hopefully there are a few video editors out there on the forum... cause this one is program specific.... So I have been an avid Final Cut Pro guy for the last 4 years. I love the program.... I can work very easily in it but recently I got a new job in which I have...

. No... What I meant is that a game will be rendering graphics on the fly as you play... so I believe it is similar to working with graphic rendering programs such as FCP, After Effects and Motion because they are all rendering graphical information. I may be wrong on this but looking at it...

Im going to be doing a lot of heavy work... I am going to be working for a television network that is outsourcing all their graphics and videos to me.... So I need faster render times than what is offered at the stock level of those systems. What I guess Im asking (in case it was a bit vague)...

I am looking to build a new Mac soon and am looking for some suggestions as to what to get and what to upgrade. I currently have a G5 with 8 gigs of ram and a 22 inch cinema display... I really want to increase the speed in which my video and motion graphics render. I want to be able to...

I want to build it myself. I used to do that a lot and really enjoyed the challenges of it. Plus I believe I can do it cheaper than having some one else do it for me and the leg work is half the fun. I don't need a monitor. I currently have sufficient monitor room and will just move my mac...

I have been a Mac boy for the last 3 years and have lost touch with the world of PC's. I am moving into some programming / game design / 3d modeling (For game characters) and was wondering what you would suggest when building a rig. I want it to be able to handle the huge calculations while also...

I just got a new Mac Pro 8 core, which I plan to use for my editing and coloring. Here are the specs Two 2.66GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Nehalem 8GB (4x2GB) 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s 2x NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512MB I Installed my copy of FCP Studio 2 and came up with the following...

Well then that settles it... That is what I need it to do so Thank you I will be getting one real soon (replace my 2.0 dual core desktop for a little while... before I get the quad). I would be interested if you could give me the names of any programs that will be able to copy 1:1.... i was...

This I understand. In fact that will be my next purchase after I move south... as for now my G5 will suffice... The problem I am having though is I need to have something to edit when I am out and about, and that would be the MBP... I was not aware of a new MBP coming out which throws another...
