Can mac book air run final cut

thinking of purchasing 13 inch Macbook air. Will it run finalcut ?

FCPX system requirements:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor or better.
2GB of RAM (4GB of RAM recommended).
OpenCL-capable graphics card or
Intel HD Graphics 3000 or later.
256MB of VRAM (512MB of VRAM recommended).
Display with 1280-by-768 resolution or higher.
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X v10.7.2 or later (OS X v10.7.2 or later for broadcast monitoring).
2.4GB of disk space.
Compare to the MBP models to see which ones meet these requirements. Seems both 13" models qualify.

What is the largest and fastest Hard Drive I can install in a 17" I-7 Mac Book Pro running Final Cut Pro7 7

What is the Largest and Fastest Hard drive that can be installed in my 17" Mac Book Pro i7 duo core 2.8 I need it to be compatible with Final Cut Pro 7

One of these SSDs:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/SSDMX6G480/
An SSD is always a faster storage solution. A regular hard drive will almost ALWAYS be the bottleneck in a system, because it's the only part in a computer that has physical, moving parts. The SSD has no moving parts, so there's much less latency when reading and writing. That particular SSD is designed with professionals in mind, meaning that it will right at home rendering video in Final Cut. Hope that helps!

Retina mac book pro and Final Cut Pro x

retina mac book pro and Final Cut Pro x is crashing when I use any keying filter. It doesn't should color wheels or grey scale sliders and when I click where they should be they crash. Any ideas?

I actually trashed the prefs three times before I reinstalled the whole app. Here is the screen shot. Notice under color selection sub menu no color wheel. Everytime I click in that general area, it crashes.

Download windows support software for mac book air running Mac oS Lion.. too slow in bootcamp

Hi guys,
Do you know a site which I could download the windows support software for my mac book air running MAC OSX Lion. Using bootcamp takes a very long time and seems to be stuck. Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Whart exactly are you having problems with?
Installing Boot Camp, manually updating the B.C. Drivers, Apple software update updating the drivers, or Windows Software updates?
You will or have a full Windows install. _ALL_ Microsoft Windows software is through Microsoft or 3rd partys. Apple just supplies the drivers for their hardware to be run in Windows.
If you want to manually install the Boot Camp drivers then try here?:
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Underneath the hardrive picture is a link for _Downloads_, it shows up as an error in my browser but when i put in "Boot Camp" in the "Search Downloads" bar I got a large list.
Hope that helps.....

Mac Book (Black) and Final Cut 5.

I'm about to buy a Black Mac Book and am hearing conflicting reports. Will it run Final Cut 5 HD ?
Mac Book Mac OS X (10.4.8)

i have fcp 5.1 running on my macbook 2.0 with 2 gigs of ram.
i am not sure all of the final cut studio apps will install in the mb, due to the graphics card. i did not try installing anything other than fcp, but it installed fine.
make sure you are running 5.1, as that is the universal version.

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:

Also, if you go to the app store and look on the FCX page you will find the specs.

Can mac book air be used for a micro business?

Hi I run a one-person business. I use an old laptop (which now needs replacing) for:
Creating presentations using PowerPoint and delivering via projector mainly at various locations with equipment of varying quality/brand
Routine office work - using Mocrosoft Office at present
Email
My new laptop must be light but robust enough to withstand the everyday out of office use
I am a photography hobbyist - not a pro - so I need a reasonable editing feature to
That's about it
My recently aquired iPad has encouraged me to consider buying a Mac as a replacement for my dying PC
My question is:
Should I buy a Mac Book Air or should I go for a MB Pro? What are the pros and cons of each
thanks
Boss Croker

To answer your initial question first: Yes.
For what you are up to, you don't need super-power on hand, so any MBA or MBP will do. The rest depends on screen size, SSD/HDD space, RAM (>=4GB), connectivity (without adapters, e.g. for Ethernet), weight/size, and... budget.
Coming from a PC (I guess) you'll also need:
- A handful adapters to be able to connect with whatever you find with projectors and their wiring out there.
- Maybe Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, but if you don't depend that much on exchanging original MS docs with the outside world, Apple's Pages/Numbers/Keynote may do even better, or one of the free Office-like suites.
- With an MBA, you'll want a USB->Ethernet adapter. (Forget Thunderbolt->Ethernet, it's useless if you're on a projector at the same time, more expensive, and the USB->Ethernet is offered by more less expensive 3rd-party brands.)
iPhoto, which comes usually free with a new Mac, offers you easy and, for a hobbyist, decent basic editing tools.
Hope it helps.

Mac Book Pro and final cut studio 2

Hi,
Bought a MBP last year and am looking to purchase Final Cut Studio 2 Universal. After looking through some discussions I'm still unsure how well this package will run with my setup. Yes it will be fine, or yes it will run but with some limitations, or yes it will run but I should get a different video card, etc.....? A definate yes or no would be appreciated and any limitations or known issues. I will be using a120GB external hard drive for my video footage.
Thanks, Mick
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong area or if these questions have been answered. I'm new to Macs and forums and wouldn't like to spend that much cash on a maybe!
Mac Book Pro 15 Mac OS X (10.4.9) Intel core duo 2.16 GHz 2GB ram/Radeon X1600 256Mb 80GB hard drive

Yes, it will be fine.
The only limitation is Color which needs an external screen with at least 1650x1050 to be kind of useful though it runs at smaller resolutions.

Mac Mini to run Final Cut Server

Hi
I'm buying up Mac Mini's to create a render farm for Compressor projects that I export from Final Cut Pro.
Recently I've started thinking about whether purchasing Final Cut Server might help improve various workflows, where a Mini would host the Final Cut Server and various other Mac Mini's and my Macbook pro would act as Clients and additional processor power for Compressor based activities.
Will an 2ghz Intel Core Duo Mac Mini with 4gig of RAM be up to the business of hosting? And does the Mini have an integrated Intel graphics processors which apparently is not supported?
All advice gratefully received

The current Mac mini ships with Nvidia 9400m graphics and meets the minimum system requirements for Final Cut Server 1.5.
http://www.apple.com/finalcutserver/specs/
It has limited expandability so if you find yourself needing more storage or processing power to handle larger workloads, I would be prepared to upgrade it to a Mac Pro or an Xserve.

Will mac book air run properly with photoshop when I use the Thunderbolt dispay?

I would like to get a MB Air 13"; can I use Photoshop with it? Will Thunderbolt Display work well with at?
Thank you

The answer is Yes and Yes. Unless you are editing huge files, Photoshop should run adequately on a MacBook Air.
You can check it out at an Apple Store before you purchase, and see if it meets your expectations.
Btw, you may want to consider the i7 version just for slightly better performance.

Hello Bruarong,
It sounds like you are unable to print to your printer from Mac OS X Lion. I recommend the troublehsooting from the article named:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling
