Apple Color Correction and Grading

[Jake Bastian]

you are talking about .r3d in color? GPU is a big factor. Also a redrocket will help keep the frames moving realtime in color. but you will see things slow down as you add more corrections/efx to a shot...
maybe you need to consider going to a loaded davinci resolve system or something even bigger.
grading transcodes (like 1080 prores from the 4k) will give you better performance in color.

I was under the impression that Final Cut Studio is incompatible with the Red Rocket.

don't have a rocket, but i think latest versions of all plugins gave some acceleration in color
