yeah, the CC with masks performance of X on bog standard iMac hardware is nothing short of stellar - I adore the masking setup, and it is ridiculously fluid and fast. Its one of the things that breaks my heart looking at X. some things they got so incredibly right - permanent CC attributes was one of them.
Its going to be interesting to see how people feel about premiere performance on existing near new mac hardware, outside of the few specified laptops. If its cruddy it'll raise questions. Adobe did spend an awfully long time brewing all the realtime architecture on a PC... for a PC. Apple hardware has been completely ignored for nearly a half decade now - and that's the entire FCP base.
be dead interesting to see how this plays out.
