Can FCP5 and new Intel version of Avid MC exist on same boot drive?

I had heard reports last fall that FCP 5 and Avid Media Composer & Avid Express Pro had compatibility issues if you put them on the same boot drive, so some were recommending a drive partition to separate the softwares to solve the problem.
Being that the new Intel version of Avid MC has been out for a few weeks, I'm not sure anyone will be able to speak to this and whether it can live comfortably on the same boot drive as FCP 5. But perhaps you can chime in on what you have heard about the latest compatibility issues...FCP 5 vs. Avid MC & Avid Express Pro.
If some progress has been made, perhaps I would not have to do a partition.
Many thanks,
John

I'm running Avid MC 2.7 and FCP 5.1 on the same boot drive and have been doing so (with Avid Xpress before) for years with no problems. You have to keep your OS and Quicktime in check as Avid is always behind in their support. There may be the occasional Avid codec that doesn't show up due to a conflict but nothing has ever knocked the system down. But if you want 100% certainty then a separate boot drive isn't a bad idea. If you do this then read the Avid Mac cheatsheet for help with Avid and it's supported versions.

  • Intel and non Intel versions of Applications.

    In upgading to Snow Leopard, I became conscious of many of the programs having an Intel and non Intel version. Such as "Dashboard" and "Dashboard-Intel". If I trash the non-intel version: will the programs work correctly? It would save a lot of disk space....
    Thanks

    Which Application folder? There is the root-level one, which you see when you double-click on your boot volume icon and one for each user, if you've ever selected to install only for that user. If the former, give some examples, since I only see one of each application displayed there. If the latter, all of user's Application folders are nonexistent.

  • Old Apple xserve Raid 1.24 and New Intel Xserve

    Guys
    Quick question - i currently have an Apple G5 xserve setup with an apple xserve raid {1.24} as a file sharing server in my studio
    ideally i am looking to get my xserve upgraded to the new intel version but would like to know if the old xserve raid would still be compatible with the new xserve?
    any info would be super appreciated!

    Yes - it will work just fine. The only issue is that you'll need a new Fiber channel card for the Intel XServe since it only supports PCIe cards, not PCI-X used by the previous XServes.

  • Moving Events and Projects from one location to another on the same hard drive.

    Hello.
    I've searched in the FCP X User Manual, on this forum and in Google, but have found no explanation of how to do this, so I'm posting this here in hopes that someone in our community will be able to help.
    I've previously stored my FCP X Events and Projects folders on an external 3TB hard drive, because there is more room on it than on the internal 1TB hard drive, but, since then, I've worked with other media apps, for video, photography and audio, the files for which are also stored on the external hard drive, and this has created a bit of clutter with no folder structure to keep it tidy.
    I like an organised file structure on my system, to keep it uncluttered, easy to navigate and efficient to use, so I put all the files for my photography, video and audio apps into their own folders, which are, in turn, stored in their appropriate folders for Audio, Photography and Video, and those three folders are stored in a folder called Media, and then I directed each app to its own files.
    The only app with which this has been a problem is FCP X. While there is a way of relocating projects and events from within FCP X, it allows the user to move them from one hard drive to another, and not, as I want, from one place to another on the same hard drive.
    I'm not sure if it matters, but perhaps it's relevant to mention before the next paragraph that the files that had previously been imported as events are, to save hard-drive space, stored in the events folder as shortcuts to the original files, which are stored elsewhere on the drive, rather than as duplicates of those files.
    In Finder, I copied the Events and Projects folders to their intended new locations and tried in the app to link the events and projects to their new Finder location. It seemed to have worked, until I moved the original folders to the Trash. On re-opening FCP X, it was clear that the linking hadn't worked. I returned the original folders from the Trash to their original location, but that didn't entirely reverse the problem. I noticed also that, in the original and duplicated Events folders, the shortcuts had lost their links to the original files stored elswehere on the drive.
    Fortunately I had run a backup before starting, so I restored the original folders and the app from the backup, and all was back to normal.
    I'd be grateful if anyone could advise me on whether or not it's possible to move FCP X events and projects from one place to another on the same hard drive with the app's compliance.
    Thank you.

  • Final Cut Pro 4.5 HD and Soundtrack Pro 1.0.2 and new Intel iMac

    I have the both FCP and Soundtrack Pro versions listed above. I'm thinking about picking up a new Intel iMac. Will I have to pay $199 or $99 to upgrade to FCP Studio. I just purchased Soundtrack Pro recently, if I could upgrade for just $99 and get Shake and iDVD that would be a deal...probably still a deal for $199.
    I also use CS2, seems Adobe is a little confusing to me. Will I have to pay to get CS2 native for the Intel iMac? Any idea on cost and timeliness.
    Separately, how will FCP run on a 20" Intel iMac once upgraded to Universal version, which I'll have to do, since it won't run under Rosetta? I currently only do Mini DV but should I plan on getting the extra video memory now, planning on eventually going into the HD video realm?
    Thanks everyone for your thoughts and comments...thinking about getting the Intel iMac via CompUSA with their interest free deals tomorrow.

    well, same situation here, I was about to order a Macbook Pro but then decided to saty with our beloved G platform. the reason is that it will take some time for our Pro Apps to become fully /natively compatible with Intel and I just can't wait that much.
    as for your question about using an iMac with FCP, the answer would be a;
    "Yes" if you're going to work with DV only footage (using an external HD for your captured media is a must). and a
    "No" if you plan to work with HD material in the future. there you've got no choice but a PowerMac G5 with a fast Graphic Card and a special SD/HD card or box to capture the footage.
    résumé: if you're a serious FCP user, go for something expandible, go for a Powermac.

  • Printing problems with HP laserJet 1320 and new Intel iMac

    My new Intel iMac won't print to my HP 1320 from Eudora or from web browsers. The applications "quit unexpectedly". From Safari, nothing happens.
    I can print PDF documents and Office documents with no problems. The Intel is connected to a router via Airport. The printer is connected to the router via Ethernet. My old G4 iMac prints fine (connected to router via Ethernet) as does my G4 laptop (connected via Airport).

    Solution!!!
    Just spent 90 minutes with some nice folks in level 1 and level 2 support.
    Problem seems to be that I used migration utility to import the soul of my old machine into the new machine. When you do that, you bring along the old print system (PPC vs Intel).
    I had upgraded to 10.4.5 after the migration and assumed that it would correct any problem like that, but it had not.
    After a great deal of trial and error, the solution was to go to move disk/library/printers to the desktop and restart the system
    Then use the the install disk 1 that came with the iMac and use the OPTIONAL INSTALLS package to reinstall the printer drivers.
    Worked like a champ.
    Suspect similar problem might happen for any of you with I/O drivers.

  • Can't download new flash version 10.1

    I am using Windows Vista, Mozilla Firefox and have uninstalled version 10.
    This happened last time there was an upgrade.
    I try to install new version and get a message bar at top that says : "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page."
    I click the button that says "Install Missing Plugins" and get an "unknown" plugin called gp.xpi and then my computer doesn't know what to do with it and neither do I.  It asks what program I want to use to open this and I don't know.
    Anyway, I can't get beyond this point.  Have restarted computer after uninstalling.  Have tried reinstalling 10 and nothing helps.  I can't find reference to this plugin in other forums.
    Any help?

    Thank you so much
    I've had that almost identical problem trying to upgrade Flash Player into Firefox 10.6.3 under Windows XP SP3, Windows 7 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit. It didn't seem to make much difference whether I had uninstalled the previous version of Flash Player (9.0.45) or not, the problem was still there. DLM would install and after restarting Firefox DLM would just load and sit there doing nothing - blank in the top half and the big yellow "Close DLM" button in the bottom half of the window. All this trouble in Firefox although the active-X control upgraded in IE8 with no problem at all. What a pain!
    Once again, problem solved - many thanks.

  • Fiery 250 driver and new Intel Mac

    I recently installed a new Intel iMac in my office and hooked it up to our Xerox printer via our Fiery 250 RIP. Bad news--the driver does not work with the Intel Mac. I had a Xerox tech come and try to troubleshoot it for a few hours, went under the hood to try and resolve the issue...nothing. Next step is he is going to have to contact Fiery. Anyone else have any experience with an Intel Mac and getting the driver to work on Fiery? Very inconvenient.

    i can give you a tip.
    download the ppd from the support page.
    install it via tcpip and select the ppd.
    it will work to print, but no special features then.

  • Prestaged Content and new Content Versions

    I have a question concerning prestaged content in an SCCM 2012 R2 Environment. I have created several prestaged content files of some very large Applikations and Software Update Packages. In the meanwhile some of the Software Update Packages
    have a new Content Version, because some expired Updates where removed from the Package.
    So, if I now extract those Update Packages on a Distribution Point, the Content is not getting registrated as successfully distributed in the Content Monitoring Workspace, because the Content Version has increased in the meantime. I can
    see that after Content is extracted successfully, the success Status Message is send to the Site Server, but the status stays on waiting for prestaged content.
    I can’t sent a new USB Stick with the newer Version of those files to those offices and I can’t send the whole new Package via WAN to those office. I there a way to only create something like a delta prestaged content file or send only
    the delta via WAN to those distribution point ?

    See scenario #3 here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrdogs/archive/2015/03/11/different-scenarios-for-using-prestaged-content.aspx

  • GD85 and New Intel SATA drivers

    Intel updated thier SATA drivers for RAID so that TRIM will work correctly.
    Does one  of you experts know if the new Intel drivers are included in BIOS update
    V1.3 07/12/2010??
    Pat

    Guys, I misspoke, I am not talking about the BIOS, I am talking about the Intel SATARaid drivers listed on the download website with a date of 01 2010.  These are the  Rapid Storage Technology drivers.  I know that Intel released a new  Rapid Storage Technology driver to solve a problem with TRIM when the Intel SATARAID technology is used in a RAID
    mode.  Basically TRIM wont work on a RAID array because of a problem in the Intel driver.
    I am wondering is the 01-10 version on the download site includes the new fix.
    If it doesnt can I use the Intel driver from the Intel website

  • Can 16 and 32 bit versions of VISA exist on the same computer?

    We have an application that we need to utilize both 16 and 32 bit versions however we are having problems with the 16 bit version reporting (no) VXI instruments through viFindRsrc - even though Resman reported the existance of such cards. Any ideas? Thanks

    Just to answer this old question in case anyone else comes looking for the same thing: no, the 16-bit libraries use a different mechanism for getting information from Resman and the kernel drivers than the 32-bit libraries, so the information needed for the old libraries will not be present when using the new Resman and kernel driver. Since you can only have one driver installed, if you are using the 32-bit driver and Resman, the 16-bit library will not find any devices.

  • Using 2 Base Stations (old g and new n versions)

    I have an old g version base station and would like to know if it can still be used in the network if I purchase the new n version to act as the main base station?
    I intend to plug the g version by cable into an old PowerPC G4 (in another room) and connect it to the new n base station wireless network. Will this work?
    Thank you.

    Yes, but because of the older AirPort unit I believe you'll have to configure your network in a "WDS" configuration. By default AirPort Utility won't show you that choice, but if you hold down an "option" key when you pull down the "Wireless Mode" list, you'll see it.

    It should.

  • TS3212 can't download new iTunes version; old version blocks it; error message "network resource is unavailable"  iTunes.msi

    Can't download latest iTune version on my PC with Vista 64bit.  Old version blocks it.  Error message:  "......network resource that is unavailable"  references "iTunes.msi"  How do I remove old version?

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
