Can I run Final Cut Pro 7 with Mountain Lion?

I just bought a new Mac mini equipped with Mountain Lion, and discovered that it won't run Final Cut Express, so I wonder if FCP-7 works. I know it well, and am not eager to learn a whole new system with FCP-X.

The answer is generally yes, but here is a thread that dives deep into ithe question and which you might want to read.
Good luck.

  • I'm running OS X, but I can't run Final Cut Pro 1.0 and appropriate upgrade

    I recently purchased a Macbook with OS 10.4.6 on it. I have Final Cut Pro 3, but I can only install it via FCP1 and upgrade to FCP2 and finally to FCP3. However, when I try to install 1.0, it says that this system cannot support it. I can't seem to figure out how to run Classic mode either.
    So, my question is, what are my options to run this software? (I really do not want to purchase the newest software.) Also, I know someone who has FCP3 full version (not an upgrade); would it be possible to install this software and use one of the serial numbers from one of my other software disks? Any help would be great.
    Thanks!

    FCE is more limited but depending on your needs it might be fine
    check out http://www.apple.com/finalcut
    why do you feel you need to download an upgrade
    after FCP 4 (3-4 years ago) you no longer needed an older version installed just the serial number as they discovered the problem that you are running into now

  • Can I run Final Cut Pro X on the most basic Mac Mini?

    The Spec sheet: http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/ it says "Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor or better." I'm not sure whether what comes with the standard Mac Mini is same / better or worse.

    Thanks,
    My 5 y/o Macbook is on it's last legs I think and really need something decent for video editing. I don't do millions but can't even install FCP on my current Mac and even iMovie takes about 3 days to even open on it. (I've upgraded RAM, HD and OS till Lion).

    You can find out for yourself by downloading the free 30 day trial.

    Sorry, I didn't realise at first that you hadn't yet got a Mini.
    FCP X should work perfectly on all current Macs.
    However, the ideal one would be an iMac if you can stretch to that.

  • Can I run Final Cut Pro on a Macbook?

    Hello,
    Can somebody tell me if it is possible to run FCP on the new Macbook 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo laptops?
    Are there any reported problems?
    Thanks
    Evanssent

    It is possible but not recommended. The FCS specs are here.
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/specs/
    Color and Motion won't even open but using FCP has been done. It depends on what kind of footage you plan on using. If you want to do HD you will have problems. SD should be okay.

  • KONA users running Final Cut Pro X with KONA 3G, KONA 3, or KONA LHi look here!

    AJA has posted info about how to use their stuff with FCPX:
    http://www.aja.com/news/index_article.php?id=147
    Hope this helps some of you guys.

    Interesting, thanks for posting it. It seems to keep the disconnect between the editing system and the rest of the world. No offline/online, tons of storage demand. I can't work with proxy files from other apps like CatDV.
    I'm staying with 7. At least it deals with the real world.

  • Can I run Final Cut Pro 7 after upgrading to OS Mavericks?

    I have not upgraded in a while (10.7.5), but have heard that FCP 7 crashes with other upgrades.
    I'm assuming such is the case here, but I would like confirmation one way or the other.

    My FCP also crashes while transcoding under MAVERICS.

  • Can't run Final Cut Pro 4.1 on new 2.3 dual core G5

    When trying to start up FCP 4.1 on my new Mac it gives me the following error:
    "Configuration Error
    This software requires certain hardware or software which is missing.
    • AGP graphics card."
    Does this mean that FCP 4.1 doesn't support the new processors?

    Wow. I'm impressed.
    There is no such thing as FCP 4.2. It went from FCP 4.1 to FCP 4.5. In fact, going to FCP 45. is a free upgrade. Open your SOFTWARE UPDATE System Preference and it should be there. Or look for it on Apple's site. S
    See if upgrading to 4.5 doesn't help.
    This computer is too new for us to really know anything. Because again, we are users of the software, much like yourself...and not Apple employees.

  • How can i get my Imac, running OSX 10.6.8 with a 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, how can i get Final Cut Pro 4 and DVD studio pro 2 to run on it?

    I just bought an IMAC running OSX 10.6.8 (not sure what flavor that is). The processor is 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo (Late 2006). When i run Final Cut Pro 4 on it I get the following error.
                        "Configuration error
                           This software requires certain hardware or software which is missing
                                    * AGP graphics Card"
    If Final Cut Pro 4 doesn't run on my system, what version of Final Cut can I run on this as I am a filmmaker and really am comfortable with Final Cut Pro.
    On the same note I also have DVD studio Pro 2 and that just quits without any message.
    Hope any of you can be some help.
    Thank you,
    Doug

    This is my first mac in a long time so i'm not sure about what this mac is as i didn't buy this from apple (ala Amazon). I'm a tad confused about the Intel/PowerPC thing. I do know the software version for sure, but the Intel/PowerPC is very confusing. I just need to find someone who would know about this question. It doesn't say G5 on this computer. Thats my biggest confusion. Help Me...

  • Can my MacBook Pro run Final Cut Pro X fine?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if I can run Final Cut Pro X fine in my mid-2010 MacBook Pro? I am looking to get the software simetime this year. The specs are in my signature (the GPU is an nvidia 330m with 256mb of VRAM).
    Has anyone run FCPX in the Core i5 mid-2010 MacBook Pros? If so, hows the experience in terms of performance?
    Many thanks!

    You should be OK with an i5 machine but there seem to be many variables in how well each machine works. here's a thread you should look at:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3726332?tstart=0
    Also, if you go to the app store and look on the FCX page you will find the specs.

  • Can't Find Final Cut Pro with my admin user!

    It was there, but I changed the name from the person I bought the macbook15 from and now all the settings and apps are set default.
    Is there a way my main account (set to admin) can find Final Cut Pro (and maybe others) to appear on hard drive without having to use the old name and password?
    If I create a new user with the name of the original account is simply says "Username already used". In other words, If I am to use the old username, I have to change my main admin account and go through that all over again.
    Admin should mean, total control of the computer...
    Also does deleting/changing the original user actually delete programs?? It shouldn't, the hard drive files should be left alone. I can't find Final Cut Pro on the drive at all, it seemed to only appear when I'm using the original user name.
    Thoughts....discussions??
    I'm using the latest Macbook Pro 15 and updates.

    Firewire port is not required to install Final Cut Pro. Take a look at the Final Cut Studio system requirements and cross-reference it with your system specifications to discover what hardware your computer is lacking.

  • If I own a Macbook pro and an iMac can I have final cut pro downloaded to both with one purchase?

  • Why can't I use final cut pro 7 with Mavericks?

    Why can't I use final cut pro 7 with Mavericks? Is any one else having problems? All my media is reputedly "offline" even though I can see all the files. Using the reconnect to media function doesn't do a thing. All of my previous projects are the same. Any ideas would be most welcome!

    Because it is $299.99, and there is tax.
