So I got to thinking today that its amazing at how far all this video stuff has come in the past few years, I mean its just insane how fast the technology changes. I started thinking (during a render of course) that its going to be sick when you can finally get a computer that renders fast enough to not have to wait. But then I realized I dont think it will ever be like that, because just as quickly as computers are increasing their processing power the video industry is coming out with all these new resolutions and codecs that require so much more power that computers will still run slow. Its like a big vicious circle fueled by our need for "more".
The crazy thing is that I wrote this entire post during a render of a short little basic edit on the fastest Mac Pro you can buy... (the computer at my work) I guess even the widest of pipes can be clogged sometimes... (Working with RED raw files doesnt help)
