Shoults always has awesome and easy to follow Tutorials, and so if you need to do multi-user in DaVinci this is a great one to check out.
Charles Haine at No Film School reviews the new Deity BP-TRX wireless microphones that also supply timecode! Of course they are $249 each, so you would need 3 to jam sync a camera and have 2 mics, but the with timecode is compelling. Especially since as an editor I almost never get perfect jam sync timecode on my audio.
These are sponsored links from BH, but still pretty inexpensive. I didn’t realize you could do wireless video for $369.
This one goes into the weeds, but I think hits the nail on the head for the processor for the Mac Pro. It has to be a dual ultra, but that means likely a M2 dual Ultra, the M2 Extreme.
I am still not sure on the expandable ram, as it would be so much slower than the RAM in the chip, but pci expansion does make sense for so many things. And all the extra thunderbolt they could add.
Not part of this video, but what if this is right and it is a smaller MacPro and the processor is on a daughter card that could be upgraded, leaving the pci slots and extra ram if that is workable. That could be an ”upgradeable” Mac Pro for sure.
Well the Mac Studio has gotten me excited for the Mac Pro, though if it really is an M2, I think WWDC might ge pushing it, and the 2023 rumors may be true.
Max Tech did the first tear down of a Mac Studio.
Stu Maschwitz has his post with speed tests. And Scott Simmons at the Pro Video Coalition has part 1 of Mac Studio for editing.
9to5 Mac has a slew of reviews a swell as their own quick look by Chance Miller. And MacStories with it’s reviews roundup has a bunch more.
And I like the review from SixColors, because he has so many cables attached already which makes it seem much more real of a user, or at least one more like me.
So many of the early YouTube reviewers blow my mind, as their review space is so pretty. My office is not, most people would call it a pig sty (or maybe shar pei sty), but mine is used everyday and I have dogs. My wife would love to come in and clean, but I would never find anything. And it is especially messy now with me having a broken foot and all. Just blows my mind that their “work space” is so clean. I mean I have so many things connected to my mac it is a joke (2 thunderbolt 4 hubs and countless usb hubs). And just all the hard drives from work!
I so want a Mac Studio, but i also want to see what the MacPro is. I just don’t see how expandable it can be. Not chance of changeable RAM as it would be so much slower. Maybe it could have PCI, but not a graphics cards, so I doubt it.
And I have seen some people saying they can’t do the same thing with Ultra, so a 4×4 version would be seen as 2 processors, and then wouldn’t have double bandwidth and maybe not even double the ram, as it could only use the main bank, but lets hope that isn’t true.
I really hope that it has a dual Ultra, but I am not sure I could afford that anyway, so this could be my next machine.
Lets hope my iMac pro holds on for a while because according to 9 to 5 Mac they wait could already be till June for a Mac Studio and Studio Display. Youch!
Roland Denning at Red Shark has this article, which links to this YouTube Video of what Analogue HD from 1990 looked like. Amazing to see the difference. I just thought this was very cool.
