FC Studio on a MacBook

I have a White 13" Dual Core 2GHz laptop, with the GeForce 9400M Video Card, Mac OS X (10.5.6), 2G RAM.
Anyone know if the included card will run FCP 7?
I'd max out the RAM too ...
Thanks!

Motion and Color will probably be unusable, if they even install.
FCP will run.
There are other problems though: There's no FireWire port for an external drive to hold your media. Even if there was, it would be restricted to formats that FireWire can playback reliably, such as DV, HDV, maybe AVCHD. USB won't cut it for video editing. Then there's that tiny screen.
Bottom line -if you want to run pro software, you need a pro computer.

    Also, if you don't get an answer here, you might post in the FCS discussion.

  • Final Cut Studio 2 and Macbook (not Pro)

    Curious to know if anyone has any experience running Final Cut Studio 2 on a non-pro Macbook. Can Macbook handle Final Cut Pro alright? Is video memory an issue?
    Thanks,
    Mbs

    For the record, Motion will run on a MacBook. It's just that some of the features aren't supported, and will produce incorrect results. So I wouldn't rely on it.
    Final Cut, however, works perfectly. No problems at all.

  • Final cut studio 2 and macbook pro 17?

    I'm anxious to purchase Final Cut Studio 2, and a new MacBook Pro 17" laptop. Is FCS2 and this laptop 100% compatible? Will I be able to install and run FCS2 on this laptop successfully?
    Laptop specs:
    MacBook Pro 17" Notebook 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, TI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics processor, dual -ink DVI support, 256MB of GDDR3 SDRAM, external 500G hard drive for video storage (firewire 800).
    MacBook Pro 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Well those that have tried running FCS 2 on a 17" laptop can't talk. It's not released yet...
    However there is no reason why it shouldn't work well. Add an Io HD to the mix, and you'll edit HD on it all day long... we were showing this in the AJA booth at NAB a couple of weeks ago. Apple was running it too on laptops in their booth...
    Figure it should be fine. With the advent of Pro Res, there's little you couldn't edit on a MBP... however there are some things you'll not be editing with it, such as 2 k files, or uncompressed HD. Pro res takes care of that though. It's really visually lossless.

    Apps for OSX aren't in iTunes: they are in the App Store in your Applications folder. The payment method is the one registered in iTunes. There's no app actually called Yoga Studio, though there are several Yoga apps. There is an iOS app called Yoga Studio but it appears to have no OSX equivalent, though I haven't done a detailed search.

  • Can't load fcp studio on new macbook pro/os 10.6.2

    I just got a brand new macbook pro and wanted to load my fcp studio 1 but it is saying I don't have the proper hardware. It want tell me exactly what hardware. I just bought this computer, so I can not understand the prob. Is it the operating system---OS 10.6.2?
    I bought upgrade disks for fcp studio 2--what happens now? Has Apple made it so an older version of FCP isn't compatible with newer macBooks?

    FCP versions 1, 2, 3, 4, 4.5 and 5 will only run on a PPC processor Mac.
    FCP versions 5.1 and 6 will run on both PPC and Intel Macs.
    FCP version 7 will only run on IntelMacs.

  • Using a studio display with MacBook Pro

    I have a MacBook Pro and an older 17" Studio Display with a DVI-D male connector. What do I need to drive the studio display from my MBP? And where do I get them?

  • Logic Studio on a MacBook

    Hi I'm looking to purchase a MacBook to run Logic Studio. Is this a good idea from the performance point of view? If so, what is the minimum model I should be looking at? - John.

    I am a Macbook user and I am running Logic Studio 9. (legit purchased copy, not pirated) I am using a presonus firestudio (firewire interface) and an external 1tb 7200 rpm firewire hardrive.
    Logic studio does run on my computer. Let me say that I have just completely reformatted my hard drive with snow leopard and it is completely clean. I am still on my first mac which I bought Oct 2008. I used garageband for several months before stepping into logic. I LOVE Logic studio it is awesome.
    NOTE - you should probably ask your friend why it is he wants logic studio. Garageband does a lot, and it will take you awhile to progress outside of its limits to need a program like logic studio. (garageband is also stock on macs)
    While I love all my studio's capabilities, and I have a blast, I run into several performance issues. When I have a template set up with several plugins, I run into problems with latency all over. I have a presonus fader controller with a footswitch for punch-in recording, and I experience latency with it. At times my digital software mixer quits unexpectedly. I suspect that if I had a computer with a bigger processor, I wouldn't see these problems. Although, looking at even the 17" macbook pro specs, it still doesn't seem that much more powerful. My suggestion is that if you want your software to run as efficiently as possible, get the best macbook you can afford, but don't fret about it too much because all of the new ones will support it. As said here before, make sure it is equipt with firewire. I am leaning towards purchasing an iMac for at home where I do most of my stuff, and keeping my Macbook to take around and using live.

  • Dreamweaver Studio 8 on MacBook Pro

    Hello, I just bought a new Intel Based Mac and a brand
    spanking new, $1000 copy of Studio 8 but when I try to run
    Dreamweaver I get a pop up box that says:
    65016
    Nothing more.
    Fireworks from the package runs just fine.
    What's going on? Did I just blow $1000?

    Could be. I already had Studio 8 prior to purchasing my
    MacBook a couple of weeks ago. The Studio install went fine and
    Dreamweaver operates properly (albeit slightly slower). However, I
    cannot get the 8.0.2 updater to open to upgrade my DW 8 version. It
    crashes upon launch everytime. I've tried several tricks like a new
    user and reducing fonts but no luck.
    This could all be related to the initial quirks of Rosetta
    and these "PowerPC"-based programs. However, I've yet to determine
    a cause or solution. As I stated, the initial installed
    applications (DW, Flash, FW) work properly. If I get lucky, I'll
    pass along my solution which may aid your attempts.

  • 3D Studio on new Macbook pro 2014

    Hi everyone, I work a lot on 3D Studio Max on windows and I was looking to switch to Mac. Does anyone know how the performanece would be affected since its a windows program?
    The Macbook Pro that Im looking into is this:
    2.5GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.7GHz
    16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
    512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage
    Intel Iris Pro Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB of GDDR5 memory
    Thanks!

    Use Boot Camp. Parallels is a virtualization application that runs under OS X. Its main advantage is that you do not have to restart your Mac in order to use Windows, but performance will be reduced dramatically.
    A Mac with Windows is just like any other computer, so that application should not crash your Mac. The only thing you have to be careful (if you are going to use that application for very long periods of time) is to keep it cool.

  • Final Cut Studio on the Macbook?

    Im looking to get either a Macbook or Macbook Pro around september and want to put Final Cut Studio on it. Is the Macbook powerful enough to handle Final Cut Studio or will I need to get one of the higher end Macbook Pros?

    So really, the only options I have is getting a Macbook Pro either 15 or 17 inch? Should I get the 17 inch with some upgrades so I can effectively run Final Cut Studio?

  • Problem installing Final Cut Studio 2 on MacBook Pro

    I'm trying to install Final Cut Studio 2 on a MacBook Pro / Snow Leopard but when it comes to choosing install options Final Cut Pro is greyed out and just says skip.
    I've done some research and found people with the same problem but none of the fixes I've seen have worked. I also have Logic Pro installed - which I installed first - which seems to be causing the problem. I've tried removing Logic but am still seeing the same problem.
    Besides a clean install does anyone have any suggestions?

    Read this article on how to install final cut pro after logic studio.

  • Logic Studio on new Macbook pro retina

    Hi,
    after 6 years my macbook "died" ... :-( I am thinking about buying a new macbook pro retina..
    My Problem is, how can i install the  logic studio with the dvds if there is no dvd device?
    thanks for you advise and ideas!

    The same way you have to install all software that comes on CD/DVD:
    either you buy an external DVD USB drive
    or you share the drive from a second Mac (via the Sharing system preferences)

  • I would like to purchase a macbook for my home office and piano teaching studio. Which macbook/specs are right for me?

    I currently use my computer for curriculum and lesson planning, studio management, music games, and some photo and video storage and editing. I use a combination of software and web based applications. I am also planning on purchasing an ipad for use with students (music game apps and music listening). I I do not generally own multiple computers and plan on making this one last a while (my current pc is 7 years old). I am willing to make an investment in something that will have the durability and flexibility to last at least 5 years, however, I'm not interested in overbuying either. Any advice is appreciated.

    if you're not doing anything graphics or video intensive - the basic 13 Inch Macbook Pro will do - even the basic 13 Inch Macbook Air will do.
    I own both 13 Inch Macbook Pro and 13 Inch Macbook Air and both do what I use it for.  I use the 13 Inch Macbook Pro if I'm doing some video/photo editing (more RAM) and the 13 Inch Macbook Air when I travel.
    If you want something that will last you for years - then go for the 13 Inch Macbook Pro since it's user upgradeable in terms of RAM and hard drive ( the non-Retina).
    If portability is what you want - then go with the 13 Inch Macbook Air but get it with 8GB of RAM since you can't upgrade the RAM once you buy it.
    Good luck

  • I can't install creative studio 5 on macbook pro, OSX 10.8.2

    the adobe installer is giving me an error of failed to initialize. i have tried the assistant but it didnt help either. the macbook is new, i have just opened it today and run all software updates. i tried to run the setup on another macbook with the same configuration and it is working. any ideas what is the specific case with the current macbook? it looks like it is not due to corruption of the download file, since otherwise the installation will not be running on the other macbook.

    Troubleshoot with install logs
