Cant run final cut pro hd 4.5

Hi everybody i bought a 17inch macbook pro intel core it came with the GeForce 8600M GT graphic card and i install fcp hd 4.5 and i does not open and it gives me a message that does not have a agp card and i want to know what do i have to do to run the program or if the GeForce 8600M GT is not capable for fcp hd 4.5

#1 you can't change the graphics card in a laptop, and #2 it isn't ONLY the graphics card that is at issue here. That is just the first error that pops up. The issue is that the operating system is based around an INTEL ship, and not a PowerPC chip. FCP 4.5 was written for PPC encoded machines. Only FCP 5.1 and 6.0 will work on both PPC and Intel machines. And FCP 5.1 is no longer available.

I want to purchase a powerbook that will run a music program like MOTU or Pro Tools as well as run Final Cut Pro without being sluggish...any help?

I want to purchase a powerbook that will run a music program like MOTU or Pro Tools as well as run Final Cut Pro without being sluggish...any help?

The only way that would work out is if you ran exactly the versions that were made for old PowerBooks. Anything newer may require Intel and not run, or will strain the poor old G4 CPU.
Your needs have to be modest, too, because the problem with older music and video software is that they are not current as far as formats and codecs for the Web. If you want to output H.264, the current standard for YouTube/Flash video, older software may not support it, and in addition, H.264 is processor-intensive and is tailor-made for today's multi-core, 2+ GHz processors. It will overwhelm a G4. A PowerBook G4 can barely play YouTube videos.
More perspective: The PowerBooks worked great for miniDV format editing. In other words, 480i SD/standard definition video in use from the late 1990s to the late 2000s. If that is all you want to do, edit tape from an old miniDV camera to SD output, then OK.
But if you want to edit today's HD video, whether 720p from a snapshot camera/iPhone 4 or 1080p from a DSLR, the PowerBook and the software for it will either not recognize AVCHD/H.264, or it will slow the PowerBook to a dead crawl.
I'm in agreement with the above: Intel Macs have been out for so many years that getting a used one is a much better deal than a dead-end PowerBook. And I loved (still love) my PowerBooks.

Preparing my MBP to run Final Cut Pro

Hello,
Apologies if this question has been answered, I've searched for over an hour but can't find what I'm specifically looking for.
I would like to know what I need to upgrade / increase / expand on my MBP, in order to run Final Cut Pro and work with XDCAM and HDV source material.
Currently:
2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo.
2 Gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT, 256 Mb VRAM
From my research I think that I at least need to increase the RAM and get a big external hard disk to store the material.
Is there anything else I need to do?
I expect many people will say, buy a Mac Pro but we just don't have the budget! If it takes a long time to render then we just have to live with that.
Any advice much appreciated.

As for DIY I can not give you advise, I live in Europe but buying ram at the Apple store is maybe not the budget way.
I usually look here to install things yourself
http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/installation.cfm
There are for sure other/better sites but with the MBP installing extra ram is easy,
A 1TB will be more then enough, I would go myself for 2x500 GB firewire, this gives the option that when a job is finished and you don't need the media anymore you can sweep one of the drives completely.
Just my 2 cents

Will iMac G5 2.1 run Final Cut Pro 4.0.1

Tried to install and run Final Cut Pro 4.0.1 on my iMac G5 2.1ghz and it installed but would not run. I did get a message that read that some software or hardware was needed (AGB Graphics Card was listed in red) but I would think that the iMac had everything it needed. If you know if 4.0.1 should run or if the newer 5.0 will run on a std. off the shelf G5 iMac, please let me know?
Much Thanks
Greg J

Final Cut Studio will run on your iMac.
If he has the 1st gen iMac G5, it should run. If he has the ALS or the iSight, it won't.
He has the 2.1 GHz, so he should have the 1st gen, yes?
"Final Cut Pro 4 through Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 require a computer with an AGP video card for installation. PowerMac G5 (Late 2005) models (released October 19, 2005) and iMac G5 (iSight) models feature newer PCI Express video cards. Because of this, you can't install Final Cut Pro 4.x on these computers. Final Cut Pro 4.x is not supported on these computers."

What's the best Mac for running Final Cut Pro X?

Title says it all. What's the best Mac for running Final Cut Pro X? I'm not looking to make a feature length hollywood film. But I'd like to be able to edit video without lag.

Yes. Begin with the fastest processor / graphics card / and as much RAM as you can afford. (As all three will become obsolete over time.)
I started from scratch. I have a 27-inch iMac with a 3.4 G Intel Core i7. (currently the fastest processor for an iMac) I also ordered the best graphics card--AMD Ratheon HD. I ordered 16G of RAM, but recently added more RAM to equal 24G. (OWC makes good after-market RAM for iMACs.)
Last, I ordered a flash drive / SATA hard drive combo. (250G on flash / ITB on SATA). The OS and all of my applications run off the flash drive. (for fast start up!)
I put all of my media and FCP projects onto the SATA hard drive.
Now, I had the option to order a 2TB SATA. But, I realized I can always buy more external storage as I edit more and more projects. ALSO! FCPX is GREAT when it comes to editing projects on external drives! I can segregate an entire project and its media files onto a removeable drive. I simply launch FCPX, plug in the drive and--poof!--I'm ready to edit. It sees the project and the media right away. When I'm done editing, I can then send this drive to another editor (also using FCPX) or attach it to my MacBook if I want to edit the same project in the field.
This has worked for me. I wish you luck.

What kind of graphics card should i get to run final cut pro x on my 2008 mac pro?

What kind of graphics card should i get to run final cut pro x on my 2008 mac pro?

Hello Andres. I own an Early Mac Pro 2008, and have had the blessing of using both FCP X & Motion 5 for some time now. This is a pritty open question and it depends on your usage and the throughput nessesary to handle your work load. I can share what my set up is, & it may help you deside if this is enough power for you or help you move in another direction. Keep in mind that the buss speed and cpu are a big part of helping FCP X more so than the video card, although the video card does come into play here as well. Now if you are wanting to run Motion 5 as well, the video card is Almost Everything, and you need the biggest and best situation here that the throughput on this system will except. I'm running 14 gig of system ram, and the video card is an ATI Radeon 5870. For FCP X, running 1920x1280p footage optimised in pro-res 422, she can move along with some render time nessesary when dropping on the timeline, also filters, transistions, titles ex, have a bit of a laps time to render, but then she runs ok. This wait is not as much of a challenge with this set up as with Motion. I need a much bigger gpu on the video card for this app. Not sure if this computers throughput is really worth the upgrade. Beleive this though, Motion is demanding on using ALL you can give it. It is a Genious App, and it also calls for ALL THE POWER YOU CAN GIVE HER IN A VIDEO CARD. Conclution: if you are just starting which it sounds like, even a smaller video card than this can work For FCP X. Make sure you have at least 8 gig of cpu ram. 12 or more will help here. Also make sure the card is OpenCL compadible.....& this is in the thread above,,,,,,,,

Could I run Final Cut Pro 10.1.3 on Mavericks DP 2

Could I run Final Cut Pro 10.1.3 on Mavericks DP 2

Curiously, this picture I can see :-)
The dialog is quite normal. It just means what it says, namely, there is not enough extra media at the edges of the clips (so called "handles") to be used for the transition, so FCP X needs to shorten some of those clips to create the handles - thus the total length of your timeline will decrease.
But the fact that the transition appears as black in the browser, and that it is not applied, show that there is definitely something wrong.
Since these default transitions are installed as part of the application itself, I believe the best course of action is to delete FCP X (use FCS Remover to completely remove all traces of the application), and then install afresh from the purchases section of the App Store.

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.

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

Running Final Cut Pro on 10.8

We recently ordered a bunch of licenses of Final Cut Pro X only to discover they dont work anymore on 10.8.5. Is there a workaround for this? We cant upgrade our current equoment to Mavericks because some of the messaging software we use and our VPN doesn't work with 10.9. We have tried to make it works, but when the vendor locks the app out of the version, there is nothing we can do.
Are there other alternative methods to install FCP on Mountain Lion or we are screwed?

Mac App Store Response was, "We do not keep backup copies of any upgraded software on the MAS"... Then I spoke to a rather rude tech support agent (the type that hates his job) and he challenged my original question about the FCPX not being able to be downloaded on a 10.8.5 machine, saying that it was impossible and it would work.
After 45minutes of going around in circles, we discovered that you can "tag" the file on MAS using an account on a 10.9 machine, then log into the same account on 10.8.5 machine and actually install it.

Running Final Cut Pro on 1280 X 720, 60 Hz, Millions

I just updated to Final Cut Pro Suite 2 but Final Cut Pro, Compressor, & DVD Studio Pro wont open with my display selected to 1280 X 720, 60 Hz, Millions. It demands that I have it set to 1024 X 768, 75 Hz, Millions, which looks like trash.
Anyone tips?

Final Cut won't run if the display is fewer than 1024 pixels wide, or 768 pixels tall. Either one will trigger the minimum-size error message.
What the **** kind of display do you have that won't draw at least 768 lines?

Running two operating systems so I can run Final Cut Pro

My version of Final Cut Pro 4 will not run on Leopard. I would like to load the original OS and maybe its upgrades as a second OS for my Power Mac. (At some point in the past the OS was upgraded to Leopard, which I want to keep.)
Can I do this and can I do it with only the Install and Restore Disk that came with the original machine? The disk seems to be in perfect condition but is not read when I load it in the drive. All other CD/DVDs run fine.
I am also open to doing this in a better way. I just don't want to sacrifice a $1000 program because it won't run on Leopard.

10.2.7 was only a temporary fix, a band-aide, an emergency OS shipped only on a few early Sept '03 G5s and totally beta and nothing anyone should use or want on their system.
Yes you can use the 2nd hard drive, I just thought you could shrink Leo partition and have one drive with both, and leave all your files etc on a data drive.
As I said, again, 10.4.10 is the lowest OS I would touch.
The 1.8SP was a "goof" almost. No one wanted anything less than dual, yields of the 2.0GHz were not great, eventually they had to start shipping dual 1.8s, and an SP was a big step backward after years of duals and pushing dual cpu support.
The 2.0DP PCI-X 8 DIMM slots was popular even if people had to wait for one, and they sold for $2995 back then. Not sure but 1.8SP is in the $350 market range.
I was recommending too to format, partition. Of course you can always clone what you have (backup with CCC or SuperDuper) to drive B.
I always thought Final Cut you would really want to work off multiple drives.
If you don't have 10.4 DVD they can be hard to find anymore.

i dont know what to do????

Start by using Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion to trash your prefs.
Has the application ever opened?
What are your complete system specs and media specs?

I am a Media Pastor at a church and am needing to find a Macbook that will fulfill the needs of running Final Cut Pro and Wirestream. What Macbook would be sufficient to do the job?

I am needing some guidance on the purchase of a Macbook Pro. I am wanting to have Wirestream Pro 4, a live streaming/recording software, and Final Cut Pro 7 and am needing to see what i would need to run them as far as drive capacity etc.

The top end MacBook Pro 15" (17" high res/anti-glare for full 1080 HD screen) for mobile video needs with some restrictions and hinderances, you will need the Build to Order 7,200 RPM drive for sure as you need space and speed.
You can have 8GB of RAM from Apple or place 16GB in yourself for a lot less than Apple charges for 8GB. However you need to be handy with tiny screws, or have a local specialist do the 16GB for you.
Your probally better off with a MacPro than a MacBook Pro.
The MacPro is more powerful, and easier to get inside and do things, lasts longer, more ports, more drives, more storage for video, fast external RAID 5 setups etc.
So if you can get into a MacPro, that would be a better option for video.
