09Jul Adobe CC official OpenCL support update
Finally there is some more information on what effects are supported when using OpenCL in latest version Adobe CC. Apparently the list is pretty comprehensive so instead of going over what effects are supported, lets take a look at the effects that aren’t supported when compared to an Nvidia’s Cuda cards. According to adobe here […]
08Jul New Video Editing PC build
I’ve been pushing my old Inlet i7-920 rig for a little longer then I probably should have and I’ve reached the limit on just about everything. The board has been maxed out in the RAM department since day one (24GB) and I’ve had to add a PCI-E card for USB 3.0 support. Don’t get me wrong […]
07Jul Adobe Creative cloud has been cracked
Full disclaimer: I’m a paying member of Adobe Creative Cloud and don’t condone or support piracy even if the software is over priced. I take no responsibility for your use of illegally obtained use of Adobe CC products. One of the big reasons Adobe made the move to a subscription based service is to reduce piracy. Adobe products […]
12Jun Native raw support for the Canon 6d and more added to Windows 7 & 8
If you’ve been following the site for awhile you might remember this post from last year about Microsoft adding native raw support. Unfortunately the codec pack doesn’t get updated very often so it takes quite awhile for new cameras to be added to the support list. This time Microsoft has dropped in support for the Canon 6d, and […]
11Jun Adobe Premiere Pro CC OpenCL speed tests
I’ve been searching for some Premiere Pro OpenCL speed tests and I finally found a few results. Keep in mind that these numbers come directly from AMD’s blog and only compare high price Quadro cards with AMD’s FirePro lineup. I’m sure statements about competitors products aren’t at all skewed or mis represented by data sets. Usually claims […]
10Jun Adobe Premiere pro Creative cloud now Supports OpenCL
The last few versions of Premiere pro have supported GPU acceleration which can dramatically improve rendering times as well as real time playback. Up until now that support was limited to Nvidia cards like the GTX 680 or the GTX 670 (the card I currently use). It seems Adobe is attempting to entice more users to […]
05Jun Freenas PCI-e 4 port SATA upgrade to my Video storage solution
All of the work I’ve been doing lately has eaten up a lot of storage space. My 4 by 3TB drive freenas storage solution is down to less than 1TB of space and shirking fast. The motherboard I’m using for my Freenas installation only supports 4 SATA ports, so I started researching a PCI-e upgrade […]
14May Adobe Cloud 20% discount for one year
I know a lot of people aren’t very hot on the idea of Adobe’s new cloud program, but if you can get a big enough discount on the yearly service it can save you some money in the long run. Right now Newegg is offering 20% off Adobe Cloud subscriptions and the offer lasts until […]
30Mar Cameramator iUSBportCamera update from Hyper + drive
I finally had a chance to test out the Sanho firmware upgrade for the Cameramator. This effectively loads the unit with the same configuration as their re-branded iUSBportCamera device. The update allows you to use any device with a web browser to access live view as well as camera controls. In this case I’m using the Nexus […]
23Mar Seagate 4TB external Drive Price drop to $149.99
The Seagate 4TB external drive normally hovers around $190, but right now it’s just $149 on amazon. The price of Seagate’s internal 4TB drive is currently at $189. This happens every once in awhile but it never really made any sense to me. How can the external drive with all the extra parts be less expensive then […]
