OT-Testing out Adobe Suite on a New 8 core Mac -AE kicks on it!Posted by mark@avolution
I have to put a system, which is a Lion OSX, 2 x 2.4Ghz Quad Intel and 18G of Ram through
it tests before it goes to the client. It has an Intensity Pro, and three drive raid with WD 2.2G drives. Full disclosure, I have always been a PC man, but this system makes me say wow! I can bring in uncompressed 1920x1080 QT from 3D Studio Max, and this system is MONSTER FAST in Adobe After Effects (Sorry for Shouting < It has the Adobe Suite, not FCP, but I really, really want to cross over and convince every one to ditch all our PCs and go Mac! But alas, after testing, this system goes to the client... sad face
Interesting... apparently the opposite is true of Premiere.
My software: Pro Maintenance Tools - Tools to keep Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro X, Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro running smoothly and fix problems when they arise Pro Media Tools - Edit QuickTime chapters and metadata, detect gamma shifts, edit markers, watch renders and more More tools...
I have the Mac Pro 1,1 (first generation). I was able to drop a 12 minute 10-bit uncompressed 1920x1080 clip in the timeline of Premiere Pro CS6, and it played without rendering it. It played all the way through without stopping or stuttering. I was able to enable the mercury playback engine by hacking the OpenCL. It would never play in FCP 7 on my system.
I dont have to render to play Uncompressed in FCP either. Uncompressed is very light on the processors but heavy on the storage. So it us storage you are looking at. Put a RED Epic clip in the timeline. That's processor intensive.
That said, premiere is more responsive than FCP. So is Avid MC6. www.strypesinpost.com
Ah. Yea. I tried it too with a DPX sequence, and i believe it's the caching, but it's pretty cool.
