What Hardware do You Need to Edit DPX files in DaVinci Resolve Studio and Premiere Pro?
DPX (Digital Picture Exchange) is a uncompressed, lossless image format that is is popular in the film and VFX industry and is often the go-to choice in high-end workflows where you need the best possible quality. The downside to DPX is that since it is uncompressed, the total file size can be absolutely massive – up to 266GB per minute. What kind of storage setup do you need to be able to edit DPX files, and do you also need a powerful CPU and GPU as well?
Standalone Python Conda envs without installing Conda (using micromamba!)
In this post I’ll show you how to setup isolated conda envs for Python without having a base conda install! I’ll cover Linux and Windows including an example to get you started. Read on to learn about the wonderful micromamba project.
Unreal Engine 5 is Becoming More Real
Some new demos based on Unreal Engine 5 give us a look at the potential for cinematic experiences.
Most Reliable PC Hardware of 2021
Here at Puget Systems, our goal is not only to provide the fastest workstations possible, but the most reliable as well. As a part of our constant drive to offer only the highest quality components possible, we track and regularly review the failure rates for each part we carry. Today, we want to give a bit of a peak at how reliable different types of hardware have been in our workstations in 2021.
Metashape Pro 1.7.2: CPU Performance Roundup
Intel’s 12th Gen Core desktop processors launched toward the end of 2021, as did Windows 11, making this a great time to do a roundup looking at CPU performance in Agisoft Metashape across a wide range of different processor lines. How does Intel’s new Core i9 12900K stack up against AMD’s Ryzen 5000 Series, Threadripper, and Threadripper Pro chips – as well as Intel’s own 11th Gen Core, Xeon W, and Core X Series?
Pix4D 4.6.4: CPU Performance Roundup

12th Gen Intel Core CPU Review Roundup
Intel has launched their new 12th Gen Intel Core desktop processors (code-named “Alder Lake”) featuring support for DDR5, PCIe 5.0, as well as a completely new hybrid architecture using a mix of Performance and Efficient-cores. This is a lot of new technologies in one product which makes it hard to estimate how each model will perform in the real world without application and workflow specific benchmarking and testing.
12th Gen Intel Core – Do you need Windows 11?
Due to the new hybrid architecture used on the 12th Gen Intel Core desktop processors (code-named “Alder Lake”), Windows 11 is recommended in order for the Thread Director to be fully operational. But does this actually make a difference in the real world, or are their other issues that would actually make Windows 10 the better option?
V-Ray: 12th Gen Intel Core vs AMD Ryzen 5000 Series
Intel has launched their new 12th Gen Intel Core desktop processors (code-named “Alder Lake”) featuring support for DDR5, PCIe 5.0, as well as a completely new hybrid architecture using a mix of Performance and Efficient-cores. This is a lot of new technologies in one product, so we are excited to see how much of a performance boost the 12th Gen CPUs will see in V-Ray.
