RedShark has an announcement on the new OM System’s OM-1 the last camera with the Olypmpus Branding. and it is a 4K powerhouse, though only records internally in H.264 and H.265 video with 4:2:2 color resolution (It needs an Atomos to record ProRES). It has not been priced as of yet.
I would also bet that the rumors are true that the iMac Pro and Mac Pro are delayed, and likely will be M2 versions of M1 Pro, Max and Ultra, as they have released this new machine. It is a Mac Mini sized7.7″ inches square and 3.7 inches tall so twice as tall. 4 thunderbolt ports, 2 usb c in front as well as a sdxc card slot, and 2 usb 3.1 in back a 10gb ethernet a headphone jack as well as an hdmi port.
It can run 4 displays and a TV. Damn!
I so want one and 2 studio displays, though I would rather have the Mac Pro, which will likely have 4 M1 Max’s with 256 GB of RAM (and now we know there is no new iMac Pro).
The studio display doesn’t do height unless you buy an expensive stand like the previous display and is 27″ 5K, anti-reflective, and you can get the nano texture as well and the same camera as iPad and mics and 6 speakers. (Wish I could get it without), but is $1599 to start. It is $300 to add Nano Texture Glass. The tilt stand comes wit6h it and the Vesa Mount costs the same (but then you need a VESA mount) and the Tilt and Height Adjustable Stand is $400 more, which is better than the $1000 for the one for the 32 inch display.
The M1 Max studio starts at $1999 and the Ultra version starts at $3999.
Oh yes I want one!
And this makes me think I couldn’t afford a Mac Pro anyway.
The $3999 Model is 20-Core CPU, 48 Core GPU and 32-core Nueral Engine. It is then a $1000 upgrade to move the the 20-core CU, 64 Core GPU and 32 Core Nueral Engine, another $800 for 128 GB of Unified Memory, and $400 to move from 1 TB to 2 TB SSD (and would be $1000 to move to 4TB, which is just too much. So that brings this sucker to $6199.00 USD. Wow, and I would need at least 1 studio display for $1500. Youch!
So Apple just announced an M1 Ultra so rumors of a new mac today seem to be true! It is literally 2 M1 Max’s stuck together with Ultra Fusion technology with 2.5 TB/s of bandwidth. 4 times faster than other multichip setups! And it acts like 1 processor, and that means it is also expanding memory with 800 GB/s memory bandwidth with 128 GB of Unified memory!
20 Core CPU with 16 High performance and 4 slow, and a 64 core gpu. 8 Times faster than standard M1! With 4 ProRes Encode Decode engines! Damn!
And much less power than any PC CPU or GPU!
Damn this is going to be rocking, and makes the Mac Pro with 4 even more amazing!
An article on the long running Editing software Lightworks which has been updated to 2022.
I have never tried Lightworks, though at some point I should give it a try. It at least has a timeline like AVID and Premiere unlike Final Cut Pro X.
I know not my usual topic, but with the pandemic and both my wife and I working at home I have realized that Gigabit Internet is really not fast enough, but this article by Gordon Ung shows how far we are from multi-gigabit fiber to replace gigabit.
Now I know I already have a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port on my iMac, so I am closer to the tech than your standard PC, but I also doubt many of my devices would be able to take advantage of the speed via WIFI.
Let’s hope Multi Gigabit Internet becomes the norm and the price doesn’t go up exponentially.
This 12 minute video from Tyler Stalman, is worth checking out.
I honestly don’t need another monthly charge, and there quite a few apps here that I already use, so this might have been a better deal than buying them all.
It is certainly an improvement to their upgrade which was going to hide workspaces behind multiple clicks, while this allows for single click to your favorite workspaces.
This new version is not the default which just shows the active worksapce, but if you click and select show workspace.
You can now scroll through workspaces or edit workspaces to edit which ones show.
Certainly an improvement from hiding workspaces completely, I still am not sure about the new header bar, which seems to make import and export more important than the meat of editing itself, butt this is at least an improvement.
Halation is a film effect on lighting that happened with film and both these tools are for getting them in digital. And it is Studio version only
