Hello Blackmagic
I have used Adobe and Mac products together for more than 5 years, but this year has been tumultuous for Adobe and Mac. I'm not sure if it is Adobe ignoring Mac compositors or what, but if you go on the Adobe forums there are hundreds of posts (including a few of mine) from Mac users that have severe rendering, scrubbing, and general speed issues. Adobe only supports Nvidia for GPU on AfterEffects, even though the MacPro users have been requesting an update to support their fire cards, which ARE faster. Adobe seems to have opted to ignore the problem, as this issue is coming close to a year old... What I have decided to do is ignore Adobe. Many of Adobe's programs are so old, they need re-coding to utilize newer computer architecture.
It is my sincere hope, that Fusion spends the time and pain every year by keeping their code clean and new.
I'm leaving Adobe (at least AE and PP) for FCP, Resolve and Fusion. I was reading all the material I could on Fusion and watching videos... Renders done in seconds compared to hours... Software that can take full advantage of my hardware, should render in seconds.
I can't wait for Fusion Mac and our studio, with our 3 MacPros would be more than happy to beta test
I might even get some VMware to try to hack it out.
Cheers,
Matt
