Its ok. I know. Anyway. I have just installed a 7970 for FCPX editing. Frankly I have never experienced this sort of acceleration before in my life (I do have a 5770- and FCP7 - so that was 'fast', kind of).

Frankly in FCPX I now find that you have to switch off the scrubber almost all the time, as it will scrub everything you touch. Before in my old system it would kind of play stuff back if it could- but now- ehh! Talk about annoying. Move mouse to change some value- ZzzzzzzZzzzip.

Oh well.

Maybe this is what After Effects was talking about? I don't know. But I do know I just watched my timeline background render itself while I made myself a coffee. (The project is 1 Hour long with 1000's of transitions - effects - animations - ken burns etc.

I think that I may get 2.

A bit like what that Edius guy said the other day on the forum: 'render? what is that?'
