Re: FCP X hardware performance

[Frank Gothmann] "Errr... you can use Qmaster to distribute render jobs for AE. Also for Nuke rendering. And it speeds things up significantly."

You mean through the multiple Ae instance thing? If you only have one computer, what's the point? Is it going to help? Are you saying that Macs are faster at distributed rendering than similarly specced Windows machines?

Distributed rendering is one thing, it is a way to split up a job to as many machines as you have. It would really depend on what kinds of renders you are doing. If they are short, less complicated renders, it can take just as long to copy all the necessary files to the clusters as it does to simply render the video.

It's all relative, and it still has nothing to do with how fast OSX runs over windows on the same hardware.
