Final Cut Pro sells hardware, so I'd bet either they say "Hay guys the new iMacs are rilly rilly powerful" or "have this new Trash Can with dual RX 480's." 3 years without a peep on the Pro line is going to turn into Pro sales going into the cellar, if they haven't already. And if there is a new Pro, they should think about multiple SSDs.. Binary Badger fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Oct 20, 2016 |

Dunno if FCP is a hardware seller any more. Anyone I know who's editing serious stuff has moved to Premiere by now. I mean they're still editing on Macs but that's more personal choice. Of course you'll always have the Avid old heads.

Any chance they might make the top level SSD 2TB (or more) or is that another turbonerd fantasy like ports for the periperals I already own and use. Oh right I'm supposed to pay $240/yr in perpetuity for cloud storage now

The new gen AMD graphics cards are here already... It's probably just going to be the laptops though, since there hasn't been a single proper rumor regarding the Mac Pro at all, but at least they're starting to refresh things. New version of FCP X slated to be announced Thursday as well.

I'm looking at swapping back to a 15" from a 13" at work and what I'd really like is to be able to push a 5K screen from a laptop without using MST. If the new models have Thunderbolt 3 ports that support 5K DisplayPort signals (which they should if they actually are Kaby Lake as has been rumoured) then that'll be enough for me to purchase one.

Housh posted:FCPX pushed old FCP users to Premiere who were using AE in their workflow anyways. FCPX is pretty much social media's darling for editing though. poo poo is easy for YouTubers and FAST. FCP X's disadvantage is the same thing that gives it an advantage. Apple did a super Apple thing, and went for broke trying to do something unique. They lost of a lot of users to Premiere, since it was so similar to how 7 worked, but at the same time created a program that does certain things better than any other. I find that personally it's easy to work with after I got used to it when I picked up editing again, I don't really feel it holds me back on top of the fact that I don't rely on After Effects. I use it for the same reason why a lot of other people don't use it, though, which is that it's a tool that I'm familiar with that makes it easier to just edit. On the other end of the spectrum, Avid hasn't died off because it also provides functionalities (multiple editors working on the same project) that no other program provides, despite all it's anachronisms. There's a place for FCP X, if Apple provides good enough machines for it. I'm just worried that they're not going to go beyond MacBooks and iMacs, both of which are basically just laptops.

The way multicam works in FCPX is beautiful. I'm sure the other NLEs caught up (except Avid, because lol) but at the time support was added there was nothing like it.

I am so excited for the new Macs. Not sure how much I'll care (or use) the display bar, though. It'll probably be on the Pros only anyway. Give me my retina Airs (that isn't the MacBook)

How long after these events does it usually take for the MBPs to be in customers hands? I'm in the SF Bay Area, aka techie mecca, so I know the local craigslist should be flooded with mid-2015 macbooks as soon as these new ones reach customers.

My workplace just moved me to using Macs and I'm looking for a full-size keyboard with Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, and a numeric keypad. Any recommendations? Would a Windows keyboard be a lot of trouble? Or should I stick to the wired Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad? I'm a little concerned about how it hasn't been updated for five years.

ethanol posted:Because it's perfect I wouldn't say it's perfect, for the workplace I would say something like this: https://codekeyboards.com/ with the MX Clears is perfect. Sure, it's expensive, but it's a good mix of quiet and tactile, has all the numpad and stuff and Fn keys if you need them (that stay out of your way if you don't), easily configurable for Mac or PC, you can even disable Caps Lock.

I just replaced the hinges on my old MBP and it works perfectly now and I even managed to fix some weird "WIfi: No Hardware Installed" issue literally by banging on part of the motherboard and now I feel pretty badass.

I hope they announce a machine with PCIe slots. The odds are slim to none but surely somebody at Apple must be watching the prices for 5,1 Mac Pros. They still sell for good money even though their single-core benchmark scores are below those of a passively cooled 12" Macbook. Some random poster over at macrumors wrote up a nice story. Trashcan design cancelled. Complete Mac Pro redesign with PCIe slots and enough room for an internal RAID array. I want to believe. The reality is that Tim Cook read this story, laughed his rear off and promptly assigned an additional 250 engineers to the "Xcode on iPad Pro" project.
