Ok.. thanks for that... now hopefully someone has tested a lower powered config... interested to see the difference. Also.. did you run your OS and content of of the same internal drive? If so did you partition it? If not what did you do. Thanks!

I am actually a tad shocked at the performance you guys are getting... wonder where all this extra throughput is coming from..

People need to try the prores codecs

Prores proxy is fastest
Prores lt about same as AIC

-

I made no graphics changes for mavericks or new Mac Pro
Same code runs on 10.6 - 10.9
Performance all comes from apple hardware and software

New mac pro Internal ssd is about 6 times faster than old Mac Pro discs


Os Performance has increased gradually since 10.6

how doe proxy compare to say AIC in quality

You should test - see if you can see any difference

All codecs quality depends on content

I always edit using prores proxy files - as it's the fastest on laptops

Thanks Richard. I will try when I get a chance... currently on a tour running Prores 422 and pretty happy. I will certainly try proxy on one a laptop rig and report performance. I am mostly interested in any "perceivable" difference in proxy and 422 in typical touring usage.
