This meant that I was able to make artistic changes and view the results quickly. Having 32 threads meant that rendering using the CPU was much faster than my old iMac. We created an animated illustration using Cinema 4D that we would have otherwise been unable to make. In Photoshop, I tried to save a PNG, and it took forever. The biggest thing was the individual apps themselves would be slow. It was very smooth to edit and scrub around in.

I tried bringing up our 4K project for the Ikea video since we had to make proxies for that to be editable. I didn’t notice any playback slowdowns, so in that regard, it’s much faster than my normal workstation. When you need the power, it’s there, but it’s not like it opens a Chrome tab any faster. Using the Mac Pro isn’t that much faster on a day-to-day basis. Deadlines are one of the biggest factors for me, since rendering can take a really long time, especially when working in 3D and being on such an old computer can really limit what you’re willing to try creatively.
