  • 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 :)

FCS2, QT REDCODE Codec + ATI X1900

Not me...
 
Seems to work fine for me to
 
That's what I'm developing on and it seems fine...

So are the ATI cards still a recommended card Graeme? I keep picking up on different points about different cards but I just want to go with what your developing with. Thanks for all your efforts.

What performance should I expect for playback quicktime wrappers in FCP2 on Mac Pro 8 core ATI 1900?
Only the smallest (proxy) one plays back smoothly. When editing a large project with it, is that the best option to work in?

EDIT: Found the solution: the medium and high wrappers play back smoothly too as long as they are completely visible! When the viewer or canvas crops them off the playback will stutter... Good to know!
 
Even I have dual ATI X1900 XT on 8-core MacPro with FCS2 and REDCODE codec.

NO ANY PROBLEM!!!
 
I am playing 4K resized footage directly in REDCINE realtime with 1/2 of high resolution.

Excellent!!!

Bravo RED Team and Jim!

By the way I have a lot of monitors and sometimes doing a custom combination.

Dual Apple Cinema display, Apple 30" Cinema display, Apple 20" Cinema display, Apple 15" display (discontinued) etc.

Also if I would have four 30" displays I could arrange it to play 4K (realtime).

Crazy, isn't it. :sorcerer: :clown2: :ninja: :biggrin:

It only really matters for REDCINE. For Mac OS X systems we advise ATI cards, for Windows we advise NVidia.

More specific details on which cards exactly will arrive in the near future. This is a beta and we haven't run tests on a wide range of graphics cards.

What about the MacPro? People seems to be having success with those, but the card listed is a GeForce 8600M GT.

Does anyone know if that works with RedCine?
 
The ATI cards as I posted. Apple only has one ATI card available on the Mac Pro.

A GeForce will work, but will be extremely slow in 4K (due to the Apple drivers). Hence we don't advice it.

Thank you Rob, although I heeded the advice on the ATI card though I could only afford the quad core at that time when I had to replace my older system. First thing that I will purchase when more receivables come my way is whatever "new-high end mac" stacked with whatever ATI cards come into play.

Thank you for all the late coding and hard work. I am really enjoying learning this software.
