Quotequickwatson said: Basically I'm trying to stay under $1500 Well...that rules out an SSD RAID. The 512 GB SSD HD in my Macbook Pro was an $1100 upgrade by itself (with the 8 GB RAM upgrade I added, this machine beats the 8-Core I use at work). For well below that price (as in the one I posted above), I would get a 6 TB CalDigit VR2 and run it RAID1 for mirrored protection handling ProRes 1

I have been using a CalDigit VR 2 TB unit for a few years with no issues and yesterday I just received my new CalDigit VR2 6 TB unit ($759.05 / Free shipping / no tax) from Safe Harbor:

You really should know the whole story (you will find a happy ending at the end)... QUOTED from the RGS "RED ROOM BLOG": Our goal at Red Giant is to offer unique products that provide real value to our customers.

Re: Importing Photoshop Alpha file into FCP 7 - 12 years ago

...not just grief...CMYK colors are the wrong colors for motion pictures period. Convert to RGB and make sure all blacks are @ 0...otherwise they show up as dark gray (or faded). You see spots on TV all the time where the Editor / Designer did not translate the graphics from CMYK to RGB. Stands out like an alligator in a swimming pool.

QuoteGerrit Vooren said: can one get an upgrade to FCP 7 or does Apple forces us to go to FCPX? FCP 7.0.3 is the end of the line, my friend. If you want to stay with Apple, you are forced to go FCP X.

xavpil, Thanks for your insight and for calling me out once again This is not a "Mayan Calendar - 2012 end of the world" forum so your comment is unrelated. If you have been a Mac Fanboy as long as I have, you know the industry and read cues & signs as foreshadowing. Mac Rumors and Apple Insider have been very close on many issues relating to upcoming / outgoing products. This o

Here's a spot I created for the upcoming Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 13 game revealing "Legacy Mode" where you can play as young Tiger all through his progression from toddler to Pro. I was responsible for everything you see except for the Sound Design & mix (Rob Reinbolt):

Gee...I guess us "whining Pros" got through to someone @ Apple, huh? This is a good start, but Apple is going in a weird direction and now have shaken confidence with me and my facility (and many more in my teeny market from the discussions popping up around town). I am hearing rumors of MacPro being discontinued so who knows what Apple is doing. Porting for PC?? Naaahhhhh. Not yet
