Re: Mac Pro 2.66Ghz 8 Core Nehalem - 32GB RAM Upgrade Worth it?

I just upgraded my 2009 with a PNY quadro 4000. I kept my 16gB ram and the computer is at least 5 times faster rendering AE projects (cs5.5 and now cs6). Ram will be my next upgrade.

Re: Do you charge for rendering/encoding/uploading time?

I don't charge for render or uploads. Generally I am on to the next task while that happens. I do have two edit systems though. The only exception is if it's a short render that needs to happen...

Re: Anyone have advice for keyframing the Ken Burns effect with photos in FCP7?

I will have to dig one out. It's been a few years and they are on my backup drives.
Maybe further description will suffice.

Re: MIII Battery Issue / Camera Turning Off Issue

No issues here. I ran a six hour continuous shoot where the only time the mkIII wasn't recording was to swap cards or change batteries. I let the battery warning light come on each time. I used 2-1/2...

Re: Anyone have advice for keyframing the Ken Burns effect with photos in FCP7?

Re: couple of questions about Mk.III Lens

There's only a few options for "faster" zooms. If you can swing it, my all time fav lens is the 70-200 f2.8L USM II. I also have the 24-70 f2.8L and 16-35 f2.8L
I understand the "want" for fast...

Re: Is a Mac Pro 8 Core 2.8GHz with 8GB RAM fast enough for FCP7 and AE?

FCP7 will not benefit from this upgrade. It may run a touch faster but it's a 32 bit program and doesn't take advantage of what the newer computers offer.

For AE, it's a different story. Assuming...

Re: What's the most you can get out of FCP X/Motion?

The deal killer for me with FCPX was they did away with the easy round trip from FCP to Motion and back. Unless I'm missing something. Used to be able to highlight a region in FCP and send it to...

As a cheap solution, check out the Zoom R16. It can record 8 simultaneous tracks to SD cards and it can be powered by batteries if needed. Weighs about the same as a first gen iPad.

Re: Lens arsenal

get a 24-70 f2.8L or 16-35 f2.8L. They will fill in the gaps and are both killer lenses. I have both along with my 70-200 f2.8L USMII and they cover just about everything I shoot on both my 7D and 5D...

Re: Is the 5D worth it?

Everything mentioned in this thread is good advice. The body is not the issue. Crop is not the issue. It's all about support and correct lens choice.
And I'd point more to support than lens.
