A question for the technically connected here.
We have a lot of work (chroma/special effects corrections/additions/coloration) still to do for a current series. All video we use is CF'd or CF output for post editing in CS5 Premiere later. Most of our work is done using AE CS5. We are beginning to do some 3D Blender work also, so that might change our thinking with relation to more powerful multicore GPU's.
Question:
What would be a more adequate (faster) system for renders/previews/AE work using CF files? This would include graphics card (doesn't seem to be much benefit in fast cards for this workstation type right now...), memory, chipset, CPU's, etc.
It just seems like the most bang for the buck in AE work with CF files is pure processor power and big RAM for previews. Even fast I/O to disk or SSD doesn't seem to be the issue at all.......but I want to hear some educated opinions here.
