You talk specs I know little about. But I got to say I'm just surprised they actually even released the damn thing. Many seem convinced (me included) that Apple would go the way of Sony, producing pithy consumer electronics and diluting their brand values of being 'forward-thinking'. I thought VFX world was mostly PC/Hackintosh based?
- KaiserPro 13y agoNaa, hackintoshes are far to hard to maintain. Its either real Macs, Dell optiplexes (although I've seen a few of those hackitoshed) and HP z series(win/linux) Most of london is HP. Macs are still needed because of quicktime, and final cut (plus a few other niche products) People use the Laptops a lot, because they are actually quite good. Certainly longer lasting than anything from Sony or Toshiba.
- l33tbro 13y agoHmmm ... Final Cut? I would have thought NLE's in VFX would be mostly Avid now .. after the whole FCPX bungle last year.
- Samuel_Michon 13y agoMany production houses still use Final Cut Pro 7 and will continue to do so for quite some time to come. Most smaller teams and freelancers I know are switching to Final Cut X, now that it has support for FCP7 compatibility and multi-cam editing. Features like audio syncing are a lot better in Final Cut X, and once you get used to the new interface, the workflow is a lot more convenient.
