Apple + RED

[Nick Morrison]

We have finally completed the METAL GPU accelerated support for the SDK which will be rolling out in the next 24 hours.

3rd parties can start integrating into their apps and FCP should get in the next major release. Getting the Metal SDK done took priority over re-writing REDCINE-X to support metal so somewhat ironically you will likely see all the NLE's support it before REDCINE-X does.

And for the windows folks don't worry you have some CUDA love coming your way over the next 24 hours as well....

Very cool.

[Johnny Hurberg]

Cuda love sounds gooood!!

[Juan Francisco Calero]

Awesome!!
Can wait to “feel it” in Resolve

Thanks!

Yeah, if only Black Magic would get the new SDK integrated. It's been nice in Scratch though!

Fantastic

Indeed this is great to see.
Always good to see RED continue to refine one of the best (if not THE best) codecs around.

Can a preview be made of the type of performance gains experienced with the update?

Thankyou team RED for continuing to eek out performance - and keep the Apple ecosystem relevant.

Q) For those deciding trying to nail down the specs of a new Cheese-grater - could you advise if there is just cause to include an Afterburner to accelerate R3D processing - or is that definitely ProResRAW only?

EDIT : Thanks Jarred!

[Jon Dishler]

I wish I could tell the story about FCPX+R3D :) heh heh heh.

But yes... Apple has always been at the forefront of supporting what we do at RED.. even when we really didn't matter.

Afterburner?

[Jeff Kilgroe]

So far it seems Afterburner is purpose-built and entirely specific to ProRes acceleration.

EDIT> Jarred says I'm wrong. :)

CUDA love, ooohhh doo tell!
