The G4 Realtime hack for Final Cut Pro, AKA “The Dane Hack” is causing a small ruckus in the FCP community. Discovered over the holiday break, it works by redefining what FCP thinks a processor is capable of. There is no actual speed gain, just more accessible functions that might not work correctly. Personally, I’m surprised Apple left this setting so accessible. I was looking for something like this, but I thought it would be encoded at installation instead of left in a plaintext FXScript. I’m looking forward to experimenting with this once the new filters are released.
