Re: OpenCL acceleration on Macbook Pro with Certified card is BAD

Trying to edit a project right now at 1080p.. (coming off R3D at 4K 1/4 not usable and even my current 1080p project) and it is still very painful. Drop frames, crashes etc.

I decided to give FCPX a try just for fun. I bought it originally but dismissed it and didn't even bothered trying the latest update.

My jaw dropped.

This is at full quality playback 1080p. 1 track with transparency PNG mask, 1 track of prores 422 film grain with "Overlay" opacity mode, 1 track with color corrections on a ProRes 444 file. Fade between 2 clips underneath the grain track.

This is not a pre-rendered timeline. No drop frames whatsoever and at full quality. CPU does not go over 24%.

Premiere CS6 is obviously having major optimization issues.

My specs are:

Macbook Pro 2.2Ghz, SSD, 16GB ram, Media on external thunderbolt Raid playback through BMD Ultrastudio 3D
