  • 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 :)

Snow Leopard Testing Report Thread

ROCKETcine-X report:

After installing the Snow Leopard, rebooted and opened up ROCKETcine-X latest build, app told me that RED Rocket™ is running at x4 lane speed. I guessed that it would probably go back to x8 when I restart it, so I restarted the system and opened up ROCKETcine-X again, then sure enough, it's running at x8 one speed now.

I noticed that this is not only with Snow Leopard but even in Leopard, when you install something to the PCIe slot and first time you boot it, it configures RED Rocket™ as x4 lane then just by restarting, it configures right to x8 lane. So, make sure you cycle the power once after you reconfigure the PCIe card physical configuration.

Overall, ROCKETcine-X booted okay and playback clips normally, I will export clips later.
 
I can't imagine RocketCine taking advantage of Snow Leopard as its not 64bit is it?

Imran, most apps are not written for 64-bit yet, neither Premiere Pro CS4 on Windows, yet. Only apps included in the Snow Leopard are.
 
Everything good here with Snow Leopard, FCS3, CS4, LR2, Stuffit, Toast, FD8, and all Plug-Ins appear as before.

Love IT! It sure fills like I just got a new MAC :)

Images are as beautiful as ever on the 30" Apple Cinema Display.

Can't run a specific test as Kaku did, He is far more experienced on it then me :).

ciao
 
I know that a lot of programs aren't 64bit yet, apart from those included with Leopard and Snow Leopard...Address book, Mail, iCal etc.

Just figured, exporting on RocketCineX, using FSC3 etc. should all really be fine on Snow Leopard...maybe I'm wrong...although I would like to see what happens when all this goes to 64bit in the future :)
 
Hey all,

Just some other news for those of you who might be working with XDCam footage. Sony's software is not supported on SL right now. Looks like it might be coming late fall early winter. Just a heads up.

Interesting, upon installation, at the selection of the installation volume choice, I already see ATTO volume via R380 and Celerity. I guess they included ATTO driver at least (or was the Promise RAID uses ATTO so that the driver is the same?). I'll see what happens to Areca later.

Because integration is my job, too. Sharing the findings is the main purpose here, your input is greatly appreciated. Thanks Ketch.

Did we need the converting utility to work with XDCAM footage, was that the case? And the utility is not working with SL?
 
What did Apple do to Quicktime Pro in Snow Leopard?
All the Pro Features gone!

However, the gamma in FCP looks 1.8ish now. FCP to show materials from 1.8 to 2.2 (just like multiplying master gamma), now it shows straight but it looks lighter. I will look into this more.

Not quite sure what you mean here - could you try phrasing it differently?

Later I rephrased it as proxy in FCP looking different than Clipfinder's edit look and Color 1.5. So REDCODE has to be updated from 3.8 to achieve the same look as fully process with the entire metadata.

The proxy looked slightly washed out comparing to the look of Clipfidner/Color.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the only thing holding Adobe back from bringing the creative suite into 64-bit the support of the codecs (mainly quicktime). With quicktime being rewritten with this version of OS X, does it mean that we are getting all our CS5 apps in 64-Bit?

We are hoping that to happen. Even for Windows Premiere Pro CS4 is not written for 64-bit yet. Only Photoshop I think.
