Comments on: H.264 realtime editing in FCP? (rumor)

With Snow Leopard Macs are going to have way enough processing power to work with h.264 so CPU is not relevant. And the 5D is not the only camera that is shooting in h.264. So yes, it is relevant for them to implement this. But I have to agree that they are most probably going to give real time to other formats at the same time. Can’t wait to get rid of ProRes!

Rumors are that the only thing in the way of releasing fc studio 3 is the release of SL. So in this perspective all of this is making sense.

This is not going to happen. Why would apple implement h.264 support natively in final cut. It is the one of the most processor intensive formats and is incredibly lossy. Apple is not going integrate native h.264 in final cut just to please the minority of mark 5d canon cameras (no offense) but the majority of formats that are used with final cut are hdv, dvcpro hd, avchd/avc-intra so the first step would to refine realtime performance with those codecs.

FCS3: Why are you talking about AE? This is an article related to FCP. The mention of AE was to point out how easy it is to manage proxies with it compared to other applications.

You guys understand nothing about video formats and realtime editing. After Effects is not an editing program and it doesn’t edit H.264 or any other format natively. The AE timeline (same with Motion, Shake, etc.) is codec independent RGB. Realtime playback works by loading frames into the RAM. Once the RAM is full, no more realtime playback. Also with RAM playback the realtime performance shrinks when activating a video output card. You can’t have this in video editing apps such as FCP or AVID.

In NLE systems you need to have a native codec based timeline to edit. You can’t load everything into the RAM. This means realtime effects can only be enabled for PROPER EDITING FORMATS.

Stopp shooting with every crap format out there, think about the NLE workflow. Your wet dreams about shooting and editing anything won’t come true. Long-GOP editing is a pain in the ass.
