Does OS l0.5, leopard, support final cut pro 6?

need to upgrade operating system so that iphone can run on itunes 10, which doesn't run on OS 10.4. I understand that there are compatibility problems with final cut pro and snow leopard. Are there also problems with 10.5?

  • 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

  • Does anyone know how to get final cut pro x to stop lagging?

    Does anyone know how to get final cut pro x to stop lagging?

    Two things: 1) MORE RAM.
    2) What hard drive?
    I am sorry if this sounds harsh, but the bare minimum to get decent performance out of FCP X is 8GB.
    If you mac supports more, even better - go to 12GB or 16GB.
    Also, the hard drive? Are you editing on the internal drive? That is also a bottleneck. The system drive should not also be used as a media drive; plus, depending on model, it may not be very fast drive to begin with.
    You should use an external drive with a fast enough connection - USB3 or Thunderbolt, if possible; FW800 as a distant third. USB2 may also work, albeit it is a relatively slow connection.

  • I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Pro

    I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Project that is HD, and tried reconnect media with original HD movies (video), the sequence project got distorted for all the text, shapes used and all.. everything changed its orientation and scale.. Is there a way by which I can preserve my work done on DV PAL and switch it preserving its proportions, scale and orientation, but on a HD project sequence?? Appreciate your help and advice..

    Yes.  A couple of ways that might work.
    First Way
    What you need to do is load one of your hd clips in the viewer and edit into a new HD sequence.  Does it display correctionly? 
    OK, select the clip in the hd timeline and copy (command-c).  Now go to the HD sequence with the material that's distorted.  Select all (command-a) and paste attributes (option-v) and choose basic motion and distort.  That should maek things work.  What won't work is anything that you've adjusted as far as basic motion or distort in your PAL sequence.  That I'm pretty sure you'll have to redo.
    Second Way. 
    Choose your original PAL sequence and do a Media Manage changing the sequence preset to the appropriate HD paramenters with the media offline.  You then should be able to reconnect these clips with your original HD media.

  • Mac Pro Dual Core (pre 2009) - Leopard to Snow Leopard and Final Cut Pro 7

    I have a pre 2009 Mac Pro running Leopard and Final Cut Pro 6. My question is should I upgrade to Snow Leopard, and Final Cut Pro 7? Both, neither, just one of them... and in what order?
    I am afraid of some of the issues people have been discussing (one website even said with a non intel based system neither updates can be done, but I have Intel Xeon processor)
    Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks kindly

    Your macpro will run Snow Leopard and FCut 7 just fine. There are plenty of "whats new in Final Cut Pro" tutorials out there to research and learn whether the new things are useful to you. Snow Leopard...plenty have had issues with it. As always, it's best to have a full mirror backup before you update to Snow Leopard so if you do have problems you can go back easily. I'd definitely move to 10.5.8 if not SLeopard. I have a PCIe card that won't work with SL so I'm holding off till I install a new card. There are still some incompatibilties known so you may want to check Apple's list.

  • Macbook pro does not support Final Cut Pro preview on external monitor?

    I have been editing on Final Cut Pro from my imac for approx 1 year with an external monitor attached with no problems. I recently bought a macbook pro, for Final Cut Pro editing, and discovered that the monitor does not work. The Final Cut Pro preview on the external monitor freezes and in the preview pane of FCP it flick between two images.
    I have been reading around some forums, and have seen a couple of people with the same problem.
    Anyone have a suggestion on how to run the external monitor with FCP?
    Thanks!

    You have probably already done it but ensure you have updated the OS and Quicktime prior to attempting to instal Final Cut Studio.
    I recently had a hard drive crash and after installing the new hard drive it would not read the OS installation disc. I ended up using an external drive case and installed the OS on the drive from a different Mac Book, then reinstalled the hard drive in the other Mac Book. Then it booted right up. I updated all the original software before attempting to install any additional software.
    Everyone kept saying it wouldn't install due a possibly defective optical drive and I can't say why but it wasn't the drive. As soon as I had the system up and running again the optical drive functioned flawlessly.
    I hope this helps you.

  • Does iMac MC309 support final cut pro ??

    Hello Dear Mac User , yesterday i bought my first imac and i am so happy cuz i am leaving windows forever !!
    i bought the MC309 i and i have a doubt if i can use the final cut in this version thanks a lot guys !

    Final Cut Pro has the following requirements:
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor or better. All of them are better
    2GB of RAM (4GB of RAM recommended). it has an 8 GB of RAM minimum
    OpenCL-capable graphics card or
    Intel HD Graphics 3000 or later. see the line below
    256MB of VRAM.  The iMac has a 512MB minimum
    Display with 1280-by-768 resolution or higher. All have 1920 x 1080 or higher
    OS X v10.6.8 or later. All have 10.7
    2.4GB of disk space. not an issue
    The biggest issue is one of video capture.  Video capture works best if the video input device and the video storage device are on separate buses.  So if you have a Firewire Camcorder, your hard drive should either be your internal drive, or an SDXC storage.  USB is much slower, and you will have lag in live recording.  Many USB Camcorders compress their video during capture.  Partitioning your drive when you first set it up, will allow you have a scratch partition to store videos that are being edited before you send off to another storage medium for production.  Disk Utility can then erase that partition without affecting the rest of the drive.  Since you have no room for more than one internal hard drive, that's what iMac users often have to do.  Ask more on the Final Cut Pro forum.  You can't be running 10.0.x.  Edit your profile on Discussions to show you are running some version of 10.7.

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later

             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?

  • Leopard and final cut pro - distortion

    Since installing leopard any audio file i export from final cut pro and then burn sounds distorted - other audio files i burn are fine - only the ones from final cut play badly. They sound fine on the computer but bad once transfered to a cd - any ideas why?

    There is no registration required for OS X, so unless you mean returning to the Setup Assistant state Deep Freeze should work for you.
    To return to the Setup Assistant at startup do this:
    1. Boot to single-user mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
    2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each command line:
    /sbin/fsck -yf
    If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command until you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
    mount -uw /
    cd /private/var/db/netinfo
    mv local.nidb local.old
    rm ../.AppleSetupDone
    shutdown -r now
    The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
    I believe this will not work in Leopard.

  • Resetting mac os x Leopard and Final cut pro

    My Boss has a Mac Rental company that rents out Macs with Final Cut Pro. Is there a way that we can reset the OS to remove the user information or user account with out reformatting each time?

  • Does anyone know how to get final cut pro 10.0.8 (downgraded from Mavericks)

    I have down graded from Mavericks as I don't have the 2k needed to upgrade all my other apps I need a copy of final cut pro 10.0.8, any ideas?

    The problem as stated was difficult to understand so I tried to help out with the part that appeared (to me) to be caused by a lack of space.
    "I don't have the 2k needed to upgrade all my other apps"
    Never heard of the expression about 2k and still don't understand what it means. Is that 2k of English pounds or maybe 2k pounds of flesh?
    For what it's worth, in 1968 I was doing Fortran programming on an IBM computer that had 2K of memory. The computer room was the size of a large living room and we had two card key punch machines, a 120 "line printer" (printed a whole paper-width line at one time), a CalCom half-step plotter (wrote graphics programs for that), and a computer console, probably around 4 to 5 feet wide with rows of red lights. One had to read what was happening in hexadecimal code.
    The programs I wrote were in Fortran and were for transportation planning and the Transportation Engineers. The graphics programs were for Travel Time and Delay Studies and the output was on about 30 or 36-inch wide paper and included things like Average Speed, Running Speed, Stop Delay Time, Percentage of time Stopped, Coefficient of Variation, Standard Deviation, etc. Rand these for AM Peak, PM Peak, Off Peak, and for each direction.
    Back then an Engineer typically used a slide rule and if they were lucky they had a simple desktop Calculator that did add, subtract, multiply, divide, and had glowing wire numbers about 3/4" high would cost somewhere around $500. I don't think gas cost even 30 cents a gallon at the time. The venerable HP 35 calculator didn't come out until later. I wanted one but then they came out with the 45 and finally the Commodore 64 came out. Got one of those and wrote a lot of Basic programs for business.
    As for the 10.0.8, I do have a backup of that although I'll probably delete it now.

  • Tiger doesn't support Final Cut Pro 4

    Just had an incredible conversation with Apple support. I was trying to get a fix to the Compressor problem "Cannot submit batch, unable to connect to background process" that many people are having trouble with. I have had this problem since I upgraded to Tiger. I was asking if I could get my money back for my Tiger and the support agent asked if I had already opened the box. Then he told me that Apple never said FCP 4 would be supported by Tiger and he offered no solutions.
    I having to spend money upgrading Final Cut Pro 4 would be throwing good money after bad. I have a G4, I liked FCP, but I will be looking at the Windows products now.

    I've been using Final Cut Pro HD (v4.5) on Tiger since day one of the release and I haven't had one instance of "Cannot submit batch...." However, for most of that time I've been using Compressor 2, since that version came with my $99 upgrade to Soundtrack Pro.
    Considering the long history of problems with connecting to Compressor's background processes I think it's entirely possible that Tiger isn't the actual source of these continued failures (or, at least, it may not be the main cause).
    However, you should be eligible for the $99 upgrade to Soundtrack Pro so that's one way to upgrade to Compressor 2 and you may find better compatibility with that version of the software. However, IMO it's not a win-win situation since Compressor 2 seems to be going though its own set of new problems.

  • Does Canon XF100 work well with Final Cut Pro

    Does the Canon XF 100 work well with Final Cut Pro 7.03

    I have read the information about this camera and I have looked at several discussion groups.  Apparently you cannot edit in native format with this camera. This has been confirmed to me by a Canon rep.  You have to bring in footage thru log and transfer which means it takes more time as it converts.  I have never had to do this before.  Because I have always imported thru log and capture.  So because I was wondering if anyone out there can tell me if they are using the camera and if it works well inspite of it.  Or anyone has a better camera recommendation but in the price range of the XF100.
    Thanks,

  • What camcorders can I buy to support Final cut pro.

    My price range is up to $500. I need a good camcorder that is compatible with final cut pro.

    Depends what compatible means. THe Canon HV40 is tape based and is still available for $600. That's records to HDV and can be edited natively in FCP.
    As to other formats, nearly any camera will work OK with FCP, although I would avoid those that record directly to DVD.
    Virtually all other consumer choices today use AVCHD, which needs to be transcoded via Log & Transfer. Here is a list from Apple that is a few years old. Many of these models are no longer on the market, but you can find their nearest equivalent. One camera that isn't on the list are those made by GoPro. If you're active in sports like skiing, surfing, or biking and want to record action, look into their equipment.
    Good luck.
