Having worked in VFX: almost all of those studios use a Mac for video editing and many of the larger ones for their review rooms as well.
Most of them are on Apple silicon by now specifically because of the video decoder performance and large memory pool.
- nateb2022 1y agojust a handful? or are most of their machines Macs?
- dagmx 1y agoMost of the general machines will be Linux workstations but none of them are doing video editing on Linux. They’ll have Mac’s for their in house editors and concept artists. Windows isn’t common for VFX studios outside of unreal engine use or very specific software.
- nateb2022 1y agohuh I thought Maya + Windows was pretty stereotypical
- dagmx 1y agoMaya + Linux is the de facto for VFX work. Windows with Maya is usually only used in smaller studios or studios that are still dependent on 3DS Max.
- pjmlp 1y agoI would vouch it depends on which country those studios are located, and VFX reference platform exists for a reason.
