The same studio used by so many blockbuster films like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Harry Potter, Return of the Jedi, and others.
Powerful Composing Workstation Build
Just completed building a much more powerful desktop composing workstation. CPU processor upgraded from Ryzen 7 to a Ryzen 9 3900x central processing unit that has 12 cores and 24 threads.
