I've not used an Avid for over 5 years, but looks like i'll be switching from good ole Final Cut 7 to an Avid on a Mac Pro (cylinder) in the very near future. (the Mac was bought early 2015).
I'm a little rusty on Avid developments though, so have a few questions.
The last Avid system I used was hardware based (Adrenaline)
This Avid system is a MacPro cylinder with Media Composer software only.
Assuming the 6-core 32GB cylinder will be way more powerful than anything i've had before, so will there be any need for an additional hardware accelerator (Mojo or Nitris). I wont be needing any tape input or output, so what would i gain from the Mojo or Nitris?
Dumb question - How do get video output from the Mac Pro? I see there's an HDMI port on the cylinder? Or do I need a Mojo or Nitris for video output options?)
Is sorenson squeeze still the recommended third party application for background batch exporting?
Finally, i've always used local raid storage, but looks like the move onto this system involves ditching the local storage and doing everything over the network (10gig fibre channel).
In theory this should work, but any reason why this is a bad idea?
Finally, are there still London user group meeting, (or failing that, anyone willing to give me a quick 10min run-through on the main software advances in the past 5 years?)
I'm looking forward to getting back into Avid. I guess you never forgot the first system you learnt on.
Many thanks for taking the time to read.
Cheers,
Chris
