will final cut pro X speed up if i upgrade my ram and don't upgrade my processor?  iMac 2.9 GHz i5 with 8 GB ram

the most improving effect on 'speed' is distributed media:
System/App, Projects, Events, Cache, backups on diff. platters. Esp. when using compounds/multicams, each 'angle' on its own drive...
To improve 'rendering' = export speed, the graphic card is the limiting factor.
On my slow system, 8GB was nice, 16GBs made it more 'snappier' ...

  • If I update to Snow Leopard, will final cut pro still work?

    If I update to Snow Leopard, will final cut pro still work? My current version of Final Cut Pro is 6.0.6. Thanks.

    Apple is not telling you the Complete story about Lion.
    The installer for FCP 6 is Power PC code/ IBM CPU code, which Lion does not support.
    FCP 6 is NOT Power PC code, it will run on Lion and Mountain Lion, as I have read on many posts.
    The solution??
    Solution condition where FCP 6 installed and upgrading OS to Lion
    Do nothing, its already running OK
    Solution condition where FCP 6 not installed and OS Lion installed.
    Connect a firewire drive to your MAC and install the old OS on it (eg snow leopard) ,
    Reboot to that OS
    Install FCP 6
    Reboot to your new OS   (EG Lion)
    Run FCP 6

    Look at this technical specs document, your system should be fine with the possible exception of Color.
    As for managing your preference files, use Digital Rebellion's tool.
    Good luck.

  • Will Final Cut Pro 4.5 still work if I upgrade to Mac OS X v10.5.4?

    Will Final Cut Pro 4.5 still work if I upgrade to Mac OS X v10.5.4?

    I'm with Jon on this one. I know someone who uses FCP 5.0 on a MacBook Pro, he has all sorts of wierd issues including:
    Projects he has created throwing up an error message "Unreadable on this machine" when re-opened.
    Projects losing and refusing to connect to render files.
    Dissolves simply not working -this is not to do with lack of handles, it just happens.
    LiveType and FCP's own title generator files not automatically compositing.
    Lots of kernel panics and unexpected quits.
    These might not happen all the time, but always crop up at the worst possible moment.
    I can move his project files and media to my setup and everything works.

  • Will final cut pro X 10.0.8  still be available for purchase after the new final cut pro release for mavericks/new macpro in december?

    will final cut pro X 10.0.8  still be available for purchase after the new final cut pro release for mavericks/new macpro in december?

    10.0.8 is no longer available, except in the trial version. The current sale version is 10.0.9. Apple has never sold older versions of their software, only the current version. That's not going to change in the near future.

  • Will Final Cut Pro X recognize Avid Mojo interfacing with Broadcast Pix?  If so, how do I accomplish this?

    Our church used an HP for 12 years that was refurbished and finally died.  We captured Sunday services for broadcast using Avid Express connected to a Broadcast Pix Switcher via an Avid Mojo with a firewire cable.  This week, I replaced it the HP with a Mac in hopes of using Final Cut Pro to capture and edit video for broadcast.  Will Final Cut Pro X recognize Avid Mojo interfacing with Broadcast Pix?  If so, how do I accomplish this?  Currently I have the mojo connected to the Mac via a firewire adapter through the thunderbolt port.  However, the Mac isn't seeing the mojo or the cameras connected to the switcher.

    Just turned off background rendering.
    I'm not certain what you mean for specs in a specific point in the video, but here are the specs for the entire edit I initially received:
    Dimensions: 1920 X 1080
    Codecs: H.264, AAC, Timecode
    2 Audio Channels
    Total bit rate: 12,083
    Size: 951,735,770 bytes (951.7 MB on disk)
    Here are the specs for the exported video that has the audio issue:
    Dimensions: 1920 X 1080
    Codecs: H.264, AAC, Timecode
    2 Audio Channels
    Total bit rate: 12,274
    Size: 966,817,082 bytes (966.8 MB on disk)
    The video is 10:28 minutes long and the audio leaves at 5:57.
    If that wasn't what you were looking for, just let me know. I'm not very good with technical stuff sometimes so may have misunderstood.
    Is there something I should have done to the piece before I began color correcting it, like transcoding?

    Will Final Cut Pro X work with Yosemite?

    me too version 10.8. It would have been nice to know yosemite was going to crap out my primary video editing software! I use this for my video editing for my business video production and it would have been nice to know ahead of time or here's a crazy idea how about the software developers who are making millions off final cut pro sales release a fix BEFORE apple roles out yosemite for free. I don't have time to chase down every blog in the world to see issues etc. The reason I bought a mac is I just need it to work so I can work on my business.

    Help urgently needed, I have installed Logic Pro 9, since then my Final Cut Pro X keep freezing. Anyone what is wrong and how to solve it? I desperately need help on this. Apple support says I have to pay £85 for to help me. Thanks

  • I need to reinstall my Final Cut Express.  I have a version of 3.5 and then an upgrade to 4. Somehow I have managed to mislay the serial No for 3.5 so cannot install.  Does anyone know how I can resolve this.

    I need to reinstall my Final Cut Express.  I have a version of 3.5 and then an upgrade to 4. Somehow I have managed to mislay the serial No for 3.5 so cannot install.  Does anyone know how I can resolve this.

    If version 4 is an upgrade only, you will have to have the serial number of the 3.5 full version.
    If you can't find it try contacting Apple with your proff of purchase, they may be able to help.

  • Will Final Cut Pro X transfer to a new Mac?

    I'm thinking about purchasing Final Cut Pro X in the next few weeks, but I also plan to replace my computer by the end of the year. If I download the app onto my current mac, will I also be able to install it on my new Mac when I get it?

    Yes...

  • Will Final Cut Pro X work with mavericks

    Was thinking about upgrading to Mavericks on my Mac Book Pro Retina but wanted to know, 1) will it use a lot more storage and 2) will it work with Final Cut Pro X?

    When I was running the supposed GM of Mavericks just before it was released, FCPX wouldn't let me import ANYthing into it. When the import window would open it wouldn't let me choose anything. FCPX became useless and I would have to force quit it. So, I'm a little hesitant to upgrade to it today.

  • Will Final Cut Pro X run smoothly on a MacBook?

    I have a MacBook running OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.6, and I'm thinking of switching from good old iMovie to Final Cut Pro X.
    I already see that I need to upgrade to 10.6.8 or higher, but apart from that, will FCP Pro X run smoothly on this machine?
    If not, does the Mac Store sell older versions of FCP Pro? Like 7?
    I do have a 1.5 TB external drive (USB).
    Thanks for you help!

  • Final Cut Pro X Speeding Up Clip Dropped Frames

    Hello there!
    I record Xbox 360 gameplay through a Hauppauge HD PVR into EyeTV3.  I then export those clips using EyeTV3.  Then, I import those clips into Final Cut Pro X.  In the past, FCPX used to work through these clips incredibly fast and I never had any problems changing the speed in the timeline.  Now, however, FCPX runs really slow, sometimes crashes upon startup, and most annoyingly, drops frames...a lot.  I import the file and put it in the timeline, and even without changing the speed, it often doesn't even render the whole clip, but rather just appears to 'miss' 3 or 4 frames, which is very annoying.  It gets even worse when I change the speed of the clip (namely, speed it up).  I know it is not an EyeTV3 problem, because I watch the clips just fine after exporting in QuickTime.  I have tried exporting as H.264 an HD 720P, but nothing seems to work.  And I don't understand why it used to work flawlessly until now.  It is really upsetting and I am at a loss as to how to fix the problem.  All help would be appreciated.  Thank you very much.
