Screening From a Blu-Ray? Skip It!

Screening From a Blu-Ray? Skip It!

A few years ago, a local members-only golf club here in Jackson, WY started having occasional movie screenings followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers. This started because one of the members, a film producer specializing in documentaries, approached the club owners with the idea. It’s been a hit with the club’s patrons and last […]

Pre-WWDC 2013 Mac Pro Rumor Roundup

Pre-WWDC 2013 Mac Pro Rumor Roundup

There’s been surprisingly few detailed rumors about a new Mac Pro compared to Apple’s other products. Over the past few years there’s been speculation about a Mac Mini Pro or xMac, which is basically a beefy Mac Mini with a user-replaceable GPU and not much else. I would post a link, but there’s as many descriptions […]

Creative Cloud: A Look at Pricing

Creative Cloud: A Look at Pricing

One of the things that lured me to Creative Cloud was the initial pricing: $30/mo for one year when upgrading from an existing Creative Suite product. So I jumped on it. My thought at the time, and I still think this, is that so many people will complain about the eventual $50/mo pricing, that Adobe will lower […]

Adobe Creative Cloud Pros and Cons

Adobe Creative Cloud Pros and Cons

A lot has been made recently of Adobe’s announcement that all their software will be switching to Creative Cloud subscriptions, abandoning the software-in-a-box model. Even Hitler has weighed in. I’ve been using Creative Cloud personally for over 6 months, and most of my clients have made the switch, so I thought I would throw my […]

Glue Tools PhantomCine GPU Speed Tests

Glue Tools PhantomCine GPU Speed Tests

The new version of Glue Tools PhantomCine Toolkit, in this case, 3.1.2693, has Open CL GPU acceleration. Since converting Phantom Cine files to ProRes is a daily occurrence at Brain Farm, I thought I would do some speed tests. I got some interesting results.   Source Clip: Phantom Flex, 2560×1440, 49 seconds Test System: Mac Pro 4.1, 8×2.23GHz, […]

Premiere Pro GPU Cards: GTX285, Quadro 4000 and Quadro FX 4800 Are Not Your Only Options

Posted by Eric Hansen - January 20, 2013 - Apple, SANs and Post Production, Color Grading

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 includes a new technology called Mercury Playback Engine. The engine can use GPU processing on nVidia cards using CUDA architecture to accelerate renders. When perusing the list for compatible cards for Mac Pros, there’s only 3 cards listed. These cards are now a few years old, overpriced and are nowhere near as powerful as nVidia’s […]

Yes, Final Cut Pro 7 Works on Lion and Mountain Lion

Posted by Eric Hansen - January 19, 2013 - Apple, SANs and Post Production, Production

People have been asking me if Final Cut Pro 7 works on Lion (Mac OS X 10.7) and/or Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) and the answer is YES. YES. Ignore what the employees at the Apple Store are saying. Either they don’t know, or they’re trying to sell you newer computers and software. The more […]
