FCPX compatible with NVIDIA7300 or ATI X1900 XT

Is FCPX compatible with either a NVIDIA 7300 Gt or a ATI X1900 XT card?

You'll need to check if your card is Open CL compatible. It also seems that the appstore will block purchases if it detects unsupported hardware.

Is FCPX compatible with pdf files ?

Hi there,
I am having problem with still image.
My default setting for still image is 8 seconds. So far I have no problem putitng it into the timeline.
I just notice something strange happened today. I still image I import it is always 1 second !
The only difference is that now it is pdf instead of previously jpeg.
An I cannot change the duration of this pdf file.
Question 1:
How do I convert pdf to jpg ?
Question 2:
Is this problem only happening to me ? Am I the only one to experience this ?
Thanks

Still images including PSD, BMP, GIF, RAW, JPEG, PNG, TGA, and TIFF.
Export the PDF to PNG or JPEG, but PNG is better.
Thanks Tom for confirming that pdf is not the preferred format for FCPX.
You mean, I create another project file, put the pdf file on the timeline, then:
Share > Save Current Frame > Then in the Export Option, select png ?
Then import this png into the original project file ?
Thanks

Ati X1900 pulled from G5 quad, is it compatible with Mac Pro original ?

I had a G5 quad that had an Ati Radeon X1900 video card, which I purchased to allow the portrait feature.
At any rate, I've since purchased a Mac Pro and was wondering if this card is compatible with the Mac Pro 1,1
Thanks

No, G5 used different Open Firmware, while Intel Macs use EFI.
The ATI 4870 is, and no idea if 5870/5770 will be. But the OEM 7300GT is something you want to replace if that is what it had. An 8800GT would be nice.

ATY radeon x1900 not compatible with Final Cut Pro X ???

It looks like my ATY radeon x1900 Graphics card is not compatible with Final Cut Pro X and the new motion and compressor?
I have a Macpro 2 x 3Ghz quad core Intel Xeon with 16gb RAM
Any suggestion to which card I should Purchase?

There are several threads here and abroad that mention the installer will notice and approve the ATI 5770 in older mac pros.
I just now bought a 5770 from Apple's online store for my 2007 Mac Pro 2,1 so I'd have the compatibility if I ever decided to upgrade -- assuming at some point they'll run out of stock and not make any more.
Keep in mind the 5770 has 1 dual link DVI and 2 mini display ports so you might need to pick up necessary adapters depending on your monitors.
Hopefully FCPX will be usable in the near future and an upgrade will be pragmatic.
(I sure hope they don't pull this stunt with the next Logic upgrade.)
I may have a 1900XT for sale soon.

Is FCPX usable with late 2007 Mac Pro's with ATI HD3870 (or OEM graphics cards?

I have a late 2007 Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon HD3870 Mac&PC (3870 ROHS 512mB) graphics card. This card is wupposed to be OpenCL hardware capable. Will it work with FCPX? I'm not aware of any current enhanced graphics cards that will work with that vintage MacPro. I'm currently using FCP7, but has anyone tried this system with FCPX?

According to Apple it is compatible.
Just go ahead and try to buy it: the App Store will detect if your card is compatible and will refuse to let you buy FCPX if it isn't. So there's no risk.
If you want to upgrade your gfx card, the Ati 5770 and 5870 are both compatible with all Mac Pro Models.
Apple says no. The Store says mid 2010 for 5770.
I just got confirmation from someone on the LAFCPUG forum that they have MacPro 1.1 (2006) with 5770 installed and they were able to purchase FCPX.

Is FCPX compatible ATI Radeon HD 2600

Is FCPX compatible ATI Radeon HD 2600 ?
Thanks

There is a work around - which of course Apple won't tell you about.
If you have another Mac which will allow the download - you can back that up, then simply drop the app into your Mac Pro or iMac with the ATI Radeon HD 2600.
I and a few others have done this and it all works fine!!!
Of course Apple will not support this, but frankly I've never needed their support, just these communities pages for these products.
So far FCPX is working just fine.

Note regarding ATI X1900 XT with Mac Pro, Leopard

To all who are experiencing any of the frequently reported problems with the hardware/software combination listed in the subject heading:
I purchased the ATI X1900 XT as an upgrade fro my Mac Pro in January. I never experienced any issues with the card in OS X Tiger, but several months ago I began to experience overheating issues in Windows XP (Boot Camp) when playing graphics-intensive games. The overheating caused visible graphics corruption/artifacts, graphics system resets and even spontaneous system restarts. The frequency and severity of these symptoms actually increased over time, leading me to believe that the card was either defective or that the overheating was causing degenerative/cumulative damage to the graphics hardware.
I recently upgraded to OS X Leopard, and all **** broke loose. Immediately after upgrading, I began to experience frequent graphics corruption/artifacts (in the form of spurious horizontal lines), system lockups/freezes and spontaneous system restarts. None of these issues were present in Tiger. The system became completely unreliable and essentially unusable.
It was initially a popular belief that Leopard's graphics drivers were somehow buggy or incompatible with the X1900 XT. After my experiences, I don’t believe that’s the case. I think that the issues reported are symptomatic of hardware, not software problems. Leopard is merely a catalyst. Leopard's increased leverage of OpenGL stresses the graphics hardware in ways that Tiger did not, causing an overall increase in graphics hardware temperature. I believe that the glitches/artifacts/system freezes/restarts that I experienced were not due to buggy drivers, but due to the graphics card overheating as a result of the increased load placed on it by Leopard.
I brought my X1900 XT in to my local Apple store today and asked for a replacement. Fortunately, they had one in stock, and they gave me a new card on the spot. The technician was apparently well aware of the issues, and mentioned that they have had a lot of similar problems with new iMacs.
Since installing the new card, I have experienced no graphics corruption, system freezes or spontaneous system restarts, either in OS X Leopard or in Windows XP gaming.
I would urge anyone who is experiencing problems with the X1900 XT (in either Windows or OS X) to have their card replaced by Apple - assuming that their card or system is still under warranty, that is.
I suspect one of two possible scenarios is true:
Theory #1: The Rev 1 X1900 XT is inherently flawed and has problems with overheating, which is exacerbated in OS X by upgrading to Leopard. Due to Leopard's greater leveraging of OpenGL, there is increased thermal stress placed on the card relative to Tiger. The overheating is evident in Leopard as graphics corruption/artifacts, system lockups/freezes and spontaneous restarts. The Rev 2 X1900 XT has (theoretically) corrected the problems inherent in Rev 1.
Theory #2. The thermal management system of the X1900 XT (all revisions) is inherently flawed. The card will slowly cook itself over time, and the effects are degenerative and cumulative. As the age of the card increases, so will the occurrence of graphics corruption, system freezes and spontaneous system restarts, especially when playing graphics-intensive games or running OS X Leopard.
I sincerely hope that Theory #1 is the case. I’ll be watching my system closely as I continue to use the new card, and hopefully there will be no further problems with overheating.
If theory #2 turns out to be true, then Apple has a huge PR nightmare on its hands, as each X1900 XT for the Mac is essentially a ticking time bomb that will self-destruct within months of purchase.
The funny thing is, this isn’t the first time I’ve had graphics card trouble with one of Apple’s “professional” towers. I bought a G5 several years ago when they were first released. I had problems with the stock nVidia graphics card in the form of what came to be known as the dreaded “black screen of death.” This became a commonly reported issue, experienced by many owners of the G5 in its first revision. Apple replaced my card and the problem never reoccurred. I’m hoping that I’ll be as lucky this time around.
I think it’s apparent that Apple’s batting average with graphics cards isn’t exactly stellar. It’s curious, considering that Apple offers a very limited selection of graphics options for their towers. One would think that by Apple only offering 3 graphics options, they would be able to have fairly tight control over the quality of the hardware, and plenty of time and resources to devote to testing. Unfortunately, I’ve had more graphics hardware-related problems on my Macs than any PCs I’ve ever used. That’s embarrassing, and Apple needs to do much better than this.

I replaced my G5 Quad with a Mac Pro 8-core. The Mac Pro's thermal design is far superior to the G5's. The G5 Quad's liquid cooling system has a much bigger task (IBM doesn't publish the thermal dissipation numbers on their PPCs but I suspect they are high) than the more efficient Intel Xeons. The G5 liquid cooling units are troublesome and the issue is something I think Apple is quietly solving by replacing failed liquid cooled G5's (that are still under warranty) with Mac Pros (a very smart PR move). My primary concern when I switched to a Mac Pro was issues with the X1900 XT graphics card failure rates posted on the web and in these discussions. The very latest generation of the X1900 XT (July 2007) are reported to be more reliable. Many G5 owners are still reporting failed cards. Given the much higher thermal environment and the remarks in this thread, I can now see why. The interior of a G5, especially Quad, gets too hot for this ATi card. I had the nVidia GeForce 7800 GT in my Quad. That was a very good card. Still, the issues with the ATi x1900 XT may indeed be a thermal design issue that AMD may need to either address directly, or turn to a 3rd party solution.
I installed a 3rd party cooling alternative, Arctic Cooling's Accelero S1. It's a passive system that replaces that hairdryer fan with a large heat sink. The package includes upgraded heat sinks for the power regulator (much beefier than the stock), and for each memory chip. The heat sink is a large conductive cooling assembly that uses 4 heat pipes. The vendor claims that using this system increases the case temperature by 1°C, which is easily handled by the system cooling system. So far, their claim appears to be valid. Since there's no longer a fan, you can imagine how quiet the system has become. The only installation hitch is that the black support clips were made for the PC version and the Mac Version adds a beefy support rail on the spine of the card. The workaround is to trim off the lower tang of the clips so they just rest against the support rail.
After reading this, I'm tempted to add the "Turbo" option, a couple of high volume low speed fans that fit on the radiator. I'm trying to "stress" the system by running SETI@Home 24/7 while doing all the other work to see how hot and how loud I can get this system. So far, no disappointments. This is the quietest workstation I've ever worked on. Even when "hot", the fans are not loud. The passive cooling system seems to work very well. I left Star Wars-Empire At War up and running in the menu for hours one day and it didn't seem to suffer from any ill effects. I have owned this system for just over a month. I will add more thermal load after I crank the system memory up to 24 or 32 GB. If there are any real cooling issues, I will find out about them next summer. I really dread the prospect of plunking down another $2k for the nVidia 4500 FX (I really don't need the 3D audio support) to get comparable video support.

PC with ATI X1900 Graphics card - Can't drive my 23" Apple display

I recently assembled new PC with A8N-SLI mobo and ATI X1900 All-in-Wonder card (with DVI-I out) driving a new Apple Cinema 23" display. I've not been able to get the display to come up on boot except for a few occasions when I disconnect and reconnect the ADC cable to the power supply after boot. I'm guessing this problem has to do with mixing Apple and PC (OK, it was a gamble).
Any ideas on how to get this combination working?
Thanks.

OOPs all. I looked at the other posts and see my answer.
Thanks anyway.

Is ATI Radeon HD 4870 compatible with Final Cut Pro X?

IPhoto 08 with ATI X1900

Hi guys,
I just bought an ATI X1900 card yesterday and I noticed that when I adjust the contrast slider in iPhoto, the whole screen goes white. This only happens with iPhoto, while my Aperture works fine. I also downloaded the current drivers for the card and am also up to date with software updates.
Is there a fix for this?
Thx.

OpenGL not available on MacPro ATI X1900 XT 512MB with CS4?

Hi,
i have a MacPro (2x2 2.66GHz, OSX 10.5.4) with 12GB RAM and a ATI X1900 XT 512MB graphic card (ROM: 113-A52027-202) and a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT.
When opening CS4 preferences i can NOT enable the OpenGL Drawing. The feature is greyed out. Under "Detected video card" stands nothing - no card detected. I read the TechNote from Adobe but could not locate any problem. The computer, the graphic card and the driver are up-to-date. (TechNote: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.doexternalId=kb404898#driverversion).
I even tried the "AllowOldGPUS.plugin" from Adobe without any change.
Do others have this problem too? Any idea what to change?
Thank you very much.

PShock you are correct I must have been an older model Radeon card I was thinking of but clearly you are correct.
 
 The Blackmagic Intensity and Intensity Pro is not a graphic or display car it is a dedicated Video in and Video out card for capturing HDV and also analog to HDV as well as displaying on a Video Monitor as you capture and edit.
 
 It will not be listed under Display and Graphics in the system profile but rather in the PC slot area.
 
 It has no effect on the Open GL mechanism.
 
 I have it installed as I wrote along side of my Nvidia 880 and it work fine with open GL in PS 4 nothing different what so ever.
 
 Although the poster does not state what kind of Blackmagic card?
 
 Even so I do not see how it could possibly interfere.
 
 here you can see for yourself it is two different types of cards.

I have installed FCPX on my iMac (mid 2007) with a video ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB. Tis does not meet the minimum requirements. It seems to be ok but what kind of problems can I expect ?

Hey Luis. I not only remember…I still have mine (OS 9)! Works perfectly well…for some things; just need to be selective about what I ask it to do. (Also have its big brother Pismo running Tiger, which is still an extremely competent machine.) When I take them out of their cases, I'm still amazed at the G3's build quality.

Is nvidia geforce gtx 675mx card compatible with fcpx

Is the Nvidia geforce gtx 675mx comes with the new iMac 27" compatible with fcpx?
I could not find it on Apple's list of cards required or fcpx

It should be.
I have only heard about issues with the 640mx card..
But FCPX uses OpebCL and other system API's to use the GPU, so if someting is not working, it should be the OS having issues..
