Scott Simmons takes an editors look at the new Stream Deck +, and makes me realize I need to spend more time programming my Stream Deck cause I love it, but need to make ti work better for me!
A good read that is mostly common sense, though I already have trouble on my iMac Pro with 64 GB of RAM, but can’t afford a fast SSD RAID so my good old spinning hard drive will have to do.
Murch is a legendary editor, and is always worth listening too. Here he talks about his Moviola project, too bad it didn’t stay at USC. PVC had an abridged version of thus interview.
Now this is one that I wouldn’t think of doing cause everyone should know how to do transitions, but for those that don’t Marcho Sebastiano Alessi has done this step by step guide.
Sami Fathi at MacRumors has reported that TSMC has started 3nm production as of December 29th.
This will likely mean the rest of the M2 line for the MacBook and for the eventual MacPro will be 3nm which will save power and be more efficient, and of course will eventually make it’s way to the iPhone and iPad as power savings and less heat is better across the line.
Nick Lear gives a real world look at the Nvidia RTX 4080 vs the RTX 2080 for real world editing, and it is very interesting, and makes me happy with Apple and Apple Silicon. It may not be the fastest, but it is pretty fast.
I got an e-mail today from DJI about the RS3 announcement!
I can’t wait to see what they have in store, because eith DJI you know it will be good!
My short fantasy film for kids has the honor of playing at the 17th Los Angeles International Children’s Film Festival in March 2023 at Wondercon!
https://themisadventuresofbear.com/I have build a web site for my short here, and it will eventually be able to view there. I am also going to be working on some behind the scenes features that will be posting here as well.
This is the first full fledged short, but I have 3 earlier Misadventures of Bear Shorts as well, that can be viewed here.
Mark Gurman’s report in his PowerOn newsletter at Bloomberg that Apple has killed the M2 Extreme, which would be 4 M2 chips linked together like the M1 Max is 2 M1 chips linked together.
This is awful news, as it means the MacPro won’t have much differentiation from the Mac Studio. It isn’t like they can add additional memory slots as that isn’t how memore works with Apple Silicon. It could have more hard drive slots, maybe some sort of pci expansion, but that seems doubtful because of the way the graphics work. So more Thunderbolt ports, that seems likely, though still Thunderbolt 4.
With only a M2 Max, why make a macpro? Especially when the Studio gets upgraded to the same chip. Allot of Thunderbolt 4 ports would be great as Thunderbolt 4 hubs aren’t cheap. Still with Apple prices will some hard drive slots and extra ports will this even make sense financially.
This is certainly worrying. It could also mean a wait till M3 for the MacPro and just do an M2 Mac Studio till then.
We will have to wait (probably a while) and see.
