Native MXF in and out is hardly minor - it's a huge thing for users in professional post environments where admittedly, few FCP X users probably are. The feature set is expanding nicely - it's just a shame the thing is so unreliable and unwieldy to …

Seems the meme here is 'Let's be nice to FCP X or they could pull it altogether' after the Aperture thing. X has its merits, but professional workflow integration at high end broadcast or film is not one of them - no tracks, flubbery unlockable time…

I guess that failing to meet a fictitious "consensus" deadline on an unannounced product is, to Wall St, a fail by Apple. Hmmm.

I've always wondered why our world, and those air-filled packaging pads and bubble wrap, aren't filled with helium. I know there's a risk to stationery suppliers - the Mary Poppins effect - but the idea of shaving Kg off the weight of airfreight pac…

Very old news. Who cares? Not like he goes to work looking like Conchita Wurst - but so what if he did? Not relevant to either brand loyalty or investor confidence. Good on ya Tim.

Apple Aotearoa kind of has a ring to it...

So, New Zealand? There's an Apple store in every tinpot Aussie state capital, but in our nation the size of NSW, not one. Angela, come on! Get us out of the clutches of Apple Australia!

Wèll I'm a colourist by trade and I can tell you there is a lot of difference. I won't have a LCD screen in my suite. I barely tolerate my professional plasma. My needs are special, and I can tell the difference. The Sony LCD at home is awful. But i…

Some tech info please, if someone can please help - what's the bit depth and gamut? Most displays are 8-bit. For anything resembling film work, P3 gamut and a minimum of 10-bit (ideally 12) are vital. Also the linearity to allow low light levels (do…

Try living in New Zealand, solidly under the thumb of Apple Australia. The largest dealership here, YOOBEE, didn't even manage an iPhone 5c Dock today. Pathetic, for a city bigger than Brisbane/Adelaide/Perth and the beach head for an entire nation …

Great to discover iWork users are in the same boat as those whingeing whining old school Final Cut Pro editors when version X replaced it with an enhanced version of iMovie. Like what are you complaining about? Has the old version stopped working? …

I don't like the prosumer term at all, in fact I find it an insult in a way. You're right, it is insulting if you imagine foolishly that doing things on your Mac that people have made careers out of somehow makes you a 'Pro' and the machinery you u…

16 4K angles? Who does that for a living? Once again people are confusing pixel count with processing power and data rate. Your Promise TB RAID might deliver 16 streams of puny H264 but will choke on a couple of streams of ARRIRAW or 12-bit ProRes. …

It's hard to know which Pro market this is aimed at, since it's really a steroid-enhanced Mac Mini. It's useless until you spend thousands of dollars on external storage, or new devices, like an Atto Thunderlink and a bunch of adapters, to connect …

Then there's DaVinci Resolve, built for CUDA with 3 external GPUs in our Cubix box. Even if BMD supports OpenCL, it may not beat a good 12-core.

I'm not convinced that $2999 is a good price for the entry level model. It's the pricing of the maxed-out high end model that matters. For post production we'll need a mix of mid- and high-end machines, ideally not the minimum spec that runs Avid, t…

We have 20 or so Macs, mostly Mac Pros that we've avoided upgrading for years, other than internally, while awaiting new Mac product. Now it's here (almost) we expect to upgrade all of the working machines within 18 months, and that involves a huge …

I'm dreaming a bit here, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a Mac Pro refresh with an entirely new form factor, possibly modular, like a Mac Mini on steroids - multiple (maybe 100Gb) Thunderbolt connections, a separate matching 4- to 6- slot …

Another intriguing fact is that although 32-bit EFI machines (that still run 64-bit apps, just not the 64-bit kernel) can run Mac OS X 10.7.4, you can no longer buy it. If you haven't upgraded these machines from Snow Leopard, you can't - they're …
