    I believe I wrote that about 8 months ago 😉 Things happen fast…

    Launch a render on a dual cpu PC and watch the TaskManager, it hardly ever goes above 50% CPU usage, so it’s AfterFX that is entierly poorly coded, and it’s not specific to any platform, if a dual CPU pc would be used to compare the result would be the same. Do a comparison with Shake with a dual PC vs a dual Mac, you’ll see the same sort of difference in performance. (true performance)

    Just adding that there are 3.06GHz laptops available from Alienware, if you can stand the color 🙂

    We’re looking for the best combination of hardware to build just such a suite, but on x86 platform 🙂 time is money. Shake 2.5 would do, but can Shake use frambuffer cards for monitor output/preview?

    I can imagine that! The quality of Shake is just amazing, and Shake on hardware (with monitor feedback and all) must be heavenly. Seemed like the ultimate compositesuite there for a while, maybe it’ll do a come-back later.. (yea right 😉 )

    Actually, yes, we had the first system in the country at the studio for a while to test it. While the hardware is impressive and seems to beat the %#¤ out of all the competition, the software has a long way to go, and unfortunately it seems that v2 is just a cover-up of the worst couple of bugs and the horrible “matte-tool” (see Ms Paint) is still there. The thing wasn’t even multithreaded even tho it ships on a dual machine 🙄 So as far as compositing goes, no cigar. So we decided to wait and see if it matures over the next year, but until then we still need 10bit uncompressed video hardware 🙂 Bluefish444 looks hot 8)

    aww too bad. Well I guess it’s not much use if there’s no support on any platform, it’s just that our studio is looking all over the place for a highquality editing and/or compositing suite. They’re dropping like flies these days, don’t know what’s worth investing in anymore (since flame is not within our budget just yet). It’s likely that we go with a software compositor and 10bit uncompressed editingsuite, so I just wanted to know if Tremor was a good way to combine the two.

    Thanks for your reply 🙂
