  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

.

my workflow is like this;
i import the 4k r3d files that came out of red one with the mx sensor in to premiere 5.5. I edit the footage realtime without a problem with 1/4 quality previewing setting. Than i import the premiere project file to after effects 5.5 Using interpret footage option i do my first color correction (it has basicly nearly all of the settings in redcine x) than i do my keying color grading and what not :) and i export the final product without any problem.

my setup is
12gb ram
i7 970 3.20
7200rpm 1tb hdd
nvidia gtx480 with GPU support (which helps realtime editing in premiere alot)

ps: i bought my setup like 1.5 years ago. There are faster and cheaper options available right now.
 
Why not first invest if you can in a redrocket, see how it improves speed in your current setup and workflow.
Keep all options open, as RR works in mac, win, and linux and speed up transcoding time.
And decide later if switching platform would be a wise decision when there is more known about where the different platforms are heading too.
It of course depends alot on the projects you do, and the return on investment.

What color correction options does AF provide that Cine-X does not? Is it just for when you do keying (greenscreen)?
 
The best option is a purpose built PC. Mac Pro is a good PC but it is not designed for graphically intensive work at all (neither is OS X). $3k is a decent budget to get a 4K post production rig up and running. It's certainly enough for a Core i7 3930K + GTX 580 based rig, which will get you 1/2 res real-time very comfortably without a Rocket. The i7 3930K also performs spectacularly in Cinebench, so I assume it must blitz thru Cinema 4D renders. If you are not satisfied with 1/2 res (i.e. 2.5K) previews and want full res, you can opt in for a Rocket. Also, Resolve for Windows has startling performance and an array of powerful but inexpensive GPUs to choose from.
