Final Cut Pro X: Compositing 64+ layers in real time

Here’s a new video from Gyro (tweeted by @sundsvein) featuring an edit on a Mac Pro using 64 layers of video – each of which was at least HD resolution.

One 14 second sequence had 2,400+ 1080p clips.

The reason we went for Final Cut Pro X as our main (and only) software is because it was bar far the only software that could handle 64+ layers with relative ease, and the way it works with the hardware is crazy

Shows that Final Cut Pro X in combination with a Mac Pro can do real-time compositions that would be hard to do using other systems.
