Re: Why is FCP so wimpy?

Hi Olof

I've no experience with M100 - it sounds like it does some things better than FCP.

However, with the correct RT settings in FCP, you will get real time dissolves, CC and some effects - or playback with slightly reduced resolution if it's a mix of too many effects. I find many users do not set RT up correctly - but it should be noted that often using an external video device effects the RT performance (ask anyone editing RED timelines with BM hardware).

I have to agree, however, that we seem to have been waiting far too long for better performance - how many pro users would pay for hardware acceleration in FCP? Working in HD in time-sensitive environments, I know I would. If there is a market for the Kona 3, there is a market for something that works to improve a situation I frankly thought Apple would have solved in software/multicore hardware by now. I would pay for that - and so would many others.
