New Build 16 features...

[Joseph Hutson]

You're getting the exact same hardware!!

I specced a Mac pro a while back and it was significantly more expensive than the same hardware I could buy for a pc.

Hardware isn't the only thing that makes a computer:nerd:

Comparing Apple's to PC's, is like comparing Apple's to oranges.

 

[Peter Majtan]

SW and build-quality aside - the HW is not the same. If You are talking about HDD, DVD, graphic card, etc... - sure Apple is using "standard" (but hand picked) parts. But the core of any PC is its motherboard and Apple design theirs in-house. Once You have seen one (and You understand what You are looking at) You will know what I am talking about...

And for god's sake - let's stop associating the term PC with Windows. PC stands for Personal Computer - and the first personal computer ever was Macintosh. Apple practically invented the PC category...

And Chris, Silentwave is correct. Apple is cheaper then Dell or HP for the same configuration:

It is partly Apple to blame, with their I'm a Mac, and I am a PC" commercial.

Uhhhh.... I understand what you're getting at, but there were many personal computers long before the Mac. Even Apple had a little number called the Apple II, which was available for at least 5 years prior to the Mac.

Computer life didn't start in 1984, you know.

I don't buy Dell or HP.

Either way I'm not arguing, not now.

As long as you stay away from standard Macbook/iMacs and the Pavillion line of products my opinion is that Apple and HP have the best hardware engineering in the business. With a slight edge advantage to HP for bringing the 2710 tablet and the Mini to the table.

Vista works OK for me. As does OSX.

I have a feeling this will be a LONG discussion.:calm:

 

[Jannard]

This thread should be about Build 16 features and not Mac & PC discussions. Somebody start another thread about this in RED ONE and let's get back on topic here...

Thanks,

Jim

Does Build 16 work with Redcine at all or are we limited to Red Alert for 1st pass color?

 

[Jarred Land]

REDCINE just went up this morning that supports Build 16 files.

 

[Christopher Gosch]

Thanks Jarred, Any word on the FCP log & transfer plug in for Build 16?

 

[Christian Edwards]

EDIT: "wouldn't have made sense"

I just joined the Build 16 world. "Whoa...", Keanu.

Question - On the left side of the EVF/LCD there's now a small box that says "OFF". When I press the dial button on the EVF, the box expands with various options.

What is this and what is it for?

(I can't believe people are thinking about Build 17 already. This build gave us all a new camera. It's like I just got the RED all over again. Thank you yet again Jim and the RED Team. Thank you so much.)

Use your EVF wheel to scroll up to an option, push in and adjust the values using the wheel. Gives you very quick access to ISO etc. that are all in the menu. Off just makes it so the wheel isn't adjusting anything. Kewl.
