Great Cant wait!

Good someone is organizing this, its interesting.


Motion is a beast though, runs "ok" but not very realtime on my 1.25 powerbook. Good program though

Motion isn't for the G4. It runs, but only because apple had to have it run. It was made for the G5, and thats where the only acceptable preformance comes from.

[adamfilip]

perhaps.. but if your a G4 owner.. you should have the right to atleast try.

also acceptable performance is an opinion not a fact

just like with games. some people complain when there game runs less then 60fps. some people are very happy just running at 30

From apple's site....
Minimum System Requirements
Macintosh computer with 867MHz or faster PowerPC G4 or G5 processor

Lets not kid ourselves Motion WAS made for a G4 processor as well as a G5.

I guess I just should have bought that G5 powerbook to run Motion.

Besides I wasn't even complaining anyways, and now your making me...urgh

[JeDiBoYTJ]

Motion is designed to run 'Optimally" on a G5 Processor... the same way all the other Pro Apps (FCP, DVDSP, SoundTrack) are said to run 'optimally' on a G5. do you need a G5 to run it? of course not! They work great on a G4 (at least for me)

I have yet to try Motion, but im sure its not 'painfully slow' or anything, and its just as functional on a G4.

[adamfilip]

I must say that Motion is much slower then Final Cut pro HD and Dvd Studio Pro 3 on my system

I'm pretty confident u can't do all the things that they do in the motion demo on a g4 at that quality and framerate.

Motion Suggested requirements: Dual 2ghz Powermac 2 Gigabytes of ram 64MB video card

[adamfilip]

these few results are very intersting..

Thats ironic. When apple started development of motion, they planned on having powerbook g5s out, and making this program g5 only. Since they couldn't get them out, they had to make it work with the G4. Its new pretty, or reccomendable.

867Mhz G4 eh? well i have a 900 MHz G3! and that's faster than a 867MHZ G4! boo yah, this program will run with like a racehorse!
