So it seems! Cool!
Launching Monday? http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2403194,00.asp
@Dr Dave I still use an old NVIDIA Quadro FX 1400, Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz. Compare to that GT240 card you experienced with Premier, Which One is better? I want to order that GT240 by reading your post.
Not yet. And what's so bad about Resolve? Once you get your head around it, it makes a lot of sense.
See the discussion about 5DtoRGB conversion. Resolve works smooth with those files, and even Speedgrade is not using native .mts nor any other native formats Premiere reads. It all gets converted to huge DPX sequences and is controlled by yesterdays EDLs. Resolve takes XMLs, which carry over much more information. I'm afraid true integration is still far away.
Thanks, I've wanted to get into Resolve, but the workflow is too annoying. It doesn't read my native files. The interface seems to be designed by someone whos never used a modern computer. My hopes is that SpeedGrade is well integrated with Premiere and After Effects.
@disneytoy I'm sure I've seen a speedgrade demo one somewhere, when it was owned by Iridas.
This is not it but could be useful and you can find the others in the series on YouTube. I'm sure there are better out there.
I'm sure you could find a copy of SG to play with if you search and it has some amazing features (such as mask tracking). Will be interesting to see how it changes when used in CS6.
Any good videos showing how to use Adobe Prelude and SpeedGrade?
Do you know where to put this on Mac OS X ?
Thanks @lpowell !
@DrDave Here's a MainConcept config file for the H.264 encoder in 1080p24 at 100Mbps, 10-bit 4:2:0 color. It should be copied into the folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\MainConcept\Codec Suite for Premiere Pro\Settings
You don't need a fast card, you just need a GT 240, 1gB. No one in their right mind would run Mercury in software mode when you can get the full engine screaming along on a GT 240. The supported card list is incorrect, almost any Nvidia card will work with 1gB.
Does anyone know how much it'll cost to upgrade from Production Premium 5.5? I bought my copy in December 2011, so unfortunately I'm not even close to the grace period.
@peaceonearth I know, but i would think they would include it by now. Oh well, it's not all that expensive anymore.
Yes, I know, but it's the best you can get from browsing Adobe's network at this moment and probably a good baseline of what support there is in CS6. They are now touting OpenCL GPU support so I hope that perhaps they are extending it to AMD video cards too and scaling down on Nvidia's recent lines.
This cards list is for CS 5.5, not upcoming CS6.
Cards supported by the Mercury Engine: http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html or http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/extend.html
and these are the supported operations: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/aftereffects/cs/using/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103a4f2dff7-79e8a.html
grace period started: I just upgrade from Photoshop 5 to Production Suite 5.5 including free update to CS 6. Last chance to get a full version suite for half of the price from a single product. Adobe changed the upgrade policy from CS6 on
@johnnym afair Lightroom was never part of the suite
No Lightroom 4 ?
The speed grade PDF (http://success.adobe.com/assets/en/downloads/guides/SG_CS6_Intro_Reveal.pdf) says "Intel® Core™ i7 processor with 64-bit support" under Windows system requirements. Surely this must be oversight, I find it hard to imagine it's written to run on just one type of processor.
No, it's still part of the Production Premium Suite. It's also updated to CS6 (unlike CS5.5 which did ship with Illustrator CS5).
No Illustrator in the Production Premium package?
@Oedipax: I don't see the 5870 mentioned. But they do mention the Radeon HD 6750M and Radeon HD 6770M graphics card with 1GB VRAM in MacBook Pro computers running Mac OSX v10.7.

One of the updated features is better optimization of 'software-only' mode. This is good if you don't have a fast card.
