Apple Final Cut Pro X speed test FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE LEAST OPTIMAL HARDWARE”. This is not titled “Adobe Premiere CS6 vs. Oh puh-leeeeeze… don’t be a pathetic apologist. Might be different on AMD though, because Nvidia doesnt like OpenCL as much as CUDA. PS: I tried activating OpenCL in Premiere and that gave me 4:50 on ProresHQ export (you have to tick Maximum render quality to use CUDA/OpenCL). Therefore, CUDA gives “sometimes” access to better algorithms for certain tasks, so possibly better quality. Its pretty fast too! FCPX comes very blurry compared to PPro on this task. Personally i think (tried many tests for various apps) that CUDA downscaling in PPro (especially for interlaced footage) cannot be matched in quality in any other NLE. One thing to note here can be the quality of encodes, with blur there is not much to compare. Gaussian Blur Export H264 (960x540p25 – “better quality” settings in fcpx): To try something else, apart from Prores Codec I tried to replicate your test here on my hardware, going with CUDA for Premiere. Timeline render: The times were 80, 61 and 62 seconds (compared with 75 seconds in the video)Įxport: The times were 109, 100 and 101 seconds (compared with 117 in the video) Premiere 6.0.2 updateĪfter making the video I updated my copy of Adobe Premiere to 6.0.2 and redid the tests three times. Maybe alternate video card architectures will make a big difference. Perhaps others can do the same test on their computers to see the difference, it’s a matter of exporting 1500 frames (1 minute at 25fps, 50 seconds at 30 fps) of 1080p ProRes 422(HQ) movie and importing it into Final Cut Pro or Premiere. However, if you have the same kind of Mac as this, you’ll probably get similar results. Also the brand of video card makes a difference. If you have a very different kind of Mac (or a PC), you’ll get different results. This was on an 3.4 GHz i7 iMac with 16GB of RAM and 2MB Radeon 6970M. The apps were running from an SSD, the files were on a 7200rpm drive. Test setup For regular Final Cut Pro X information, follow me on Twitter. I’m much more used to using Final Cut, so if I’ve not given Premiere a fair chance, please comment below. The first task is to render a Gaussian Blur effect on the timeline. The second task is to export a timeline without rendering first. The source clip is a 1 minute 1080p25 ProRes 422(HQ) movie. This video times two everyday tasks in Adobe Premiere CS6 6.0.0 and Final Cut Pro X 10.0.6:įor over 50 free plugins and more for Final Cut Pro X, visit my FCPX home page. Given that, I was interested in seeing how it now compare with Premiere CS6. The 10.0.6 has made Final Cut Pro X noticeably faster at everyday tasks.
