Final Cut Pro 3 on an Intel Mac?

I just got a Macbook Pro, and I was wondering what is the first edition of Final Cut Pro that will work on an Intel based mac........I have version 3 and I am afraid to install it if it doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx
Jefe

Sorry...true...it was a sweet deal for those who owned any version of the separate FCS software.
If you buy a brand spankin new Mac...one with a COMPLETELY different processor (Intel vs PPC) and an OS that has seen 4 major upgrades (FCP 3 came out when OS 10.0 was released, and here we are on the cusp of 10.5)...expecting really old software to work on said system would be a stretch.
And $700 for software that includes FCP, DVD SP, Motion 3, Soundtrack, Livetype, Cinema Tools, and $25,000 color correction solftware (Color)...that is a SCREAMING deal.
Too much? Always Final Cut Express...

  • Final Cut Pro 5.1 on Intel Mac Pro

    Hi,
    I have been running successfully Final Cut Pro 5.1 on my intel Mac Pro.
    Suddenly it stopped working. While opening, it suddenly quit. Tried to fully uninstall Final Cut following Apple HOWTO and reinstall. Unfortunately, Final Cut is still not working.
    I have read lots a various messages and no-one seems to have a 100% success rate.
    Anyone has a suggestion?
    Cheers
    Ben

    someone posted something on Craigslist about the intel Macs and he said that the intel just freezes up with FCP and some other programs
    Older versions of FCP do NOT run well on IntelMacs because they were written to run on PPC chipped Macs only. Probably the situation you read about on Craigslist. The OP here is running the universal version of FCP so that shouldn't be an issue in this case.

  • Is there any way I can install and operate Final Cut Pro 5 on an Intel Mac with a Mac OS Lion 10.7.3?

    From an online survey I'm pessimistic. 

    Final Cut studio  sold on Ebay is an installation set of discs.
    The only thing that is ever downloaded relating to final cut are incremental updates direct from Apple via Software Update in the Apple menu.

  • 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,,,,,,,,

  • Final cut pro 5.0 with intel processor

    Hello there, I have an offer to purchase final cut pro 5.0 and was wondering if it is compatible with my intel processor imac w/ snow leopard? I have searched the forum, but haven't found this specific question answered. Can it be made to work with an upgrade and if so, which specific one?
    thanks for all your help,
    Paul

    Apple trivia....
    Mxxxx are the numbers used when Stores/resellers order Apple products. Not to be confused with model numbers or model identifiers.
    Example: the current Mac Pro has the order # MC250 (4 Core) and MC561 (8 Core)
    Model # for both is A1289, model ID is MacPro 5,1.
    Order numbers (Mxxxx) and model numbers (Axxxx) never get repeated. Each revision or version is always unique. ID # might be continued across product refreshes of hardware but rarely over more than two generations.
    The A suffix at the end of an order number is the country code for USA (I think). It differentiates the local keyboard layout on a computer or in the case of software, the accompanying documentation.
    Z is used for international products. My Pro has a D suffix because it was bought in Germany.
    So now you know!

  • Specs for Final Cut Pro Studio 2 - Which current mac?

    Hi All,
    Just wondering if Final Cut Pro Studio 2 can be run on a current iMac Core 2 Duo?
    Or is it only to be used on pro machines like the MacBook Pro and Mac Pro?
    I am looking at learning the program and need to know if my current iMac would be good enough to learn on?
    Many Thanks,
    Dean

    Hi Dean Redding Mac-
    According to this page you are all set with actually exceeding the minimum system requirements: Final Cut Studio 2

  • Can't share final cut pro latest version across my macs.

    I have purchased, for quite a bit of money, the latest Final Cut Pro for my macbook pro - 10.5.6, I think it is , -  I really find all these decimal numbers meaningless, confusing and difficult to remember.
    Still, I want to share the purchased fcp app so I can use it also on my macbook air.
    Trouble is, my macbook pro runs on snowleopard, and the macbook air, which I bought more recently runs on  mountain lion,.. no, just  Lion....
    This latest version of FCP is not supported by Lion (10.7.4), so my macbook air can't download it.
    The solution to this  problem may seem obvious to many, but I can't see it. And the problem is just nuts!
    Any clues as to how to get my  - later version - macbook air to work with the latest version of Final Cut Pro would be much appreciated. Taa

    Lousy Fool
    Sigh, the wink at the bottom really doesn't help you to get away with the patronism in your answer you know.
    I know what OSX systems each of my macs run - 10.6.8 for the mcp and 10.7.4 for the mbair. 
    I don't want to "stress software update in the same apple menu" and move from 10.7.4 to 10.7.5, because its my understanding from researching reviews on this forum, and from my own experience that updating the operating systems on macs can cause hassle. If I am wrong in this then thats my learning.
    Finally, with regards to my expectations, it was a trainer at an applestore , fully aware that I was using these two operating systems, who suggested I upgrade my final cut pro. My expectations were that he knew what fcps compatibilities were.
    Finally, what kind of company releases an upgrage system is compatible with an earlier version of its own software (10.6.8), but not with a later one (10.7.4). I do have expectations of apple being better than this.
    This is only the second time I've come onto an apple forum to ask a genuine question that foxes me, and the second time I've received the kind of reply that its intended to put one down. Be aware of how your answers come across please.

  • Can I add final cut pro to more than one Mac?

    I'm gonna buy final cut pro 5.1 and I wanted to know if I need to buy 2 or can I just get 1 and put it on both my Macs. I also wanted to know if this will work for Shake 4.1, Logic pro 7, Office 2004.
    24" IMac 3GB ram 750 GB hard drive   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   13" Macbook (white) 2GB ram 200 GB hard drive

    It will work on both simultaneously as long as you take one of the computers off your network while editing. Might be a violation of their licensing agreement though. Not sure about that. I have the same copy of FCP on my desktop and laptop but only use the laptop for remote editing when the desktop is not practical.

    Every new Mac will be fine.
    If you can manage without a laptop the iMac is the best value of all:-

    The £999 model will be fine.
    I'm still gobsmacked at how Dixons dare charge that much for a knackered 4 year old second hand Mac.
    It's like buying a 4 year old car (that should be under half price) for the full new price.

  • Final Cut Pro and Express on same Mac

    Hi,
    I'm planning to buy FCP and I'm currently using FCE.
    Regarding the installation of the Pro version, my question is: Do I have to uninstall FCE before I install FCP?
    Or can I keep both versions with no compatibility problems.
    Hard disk space is not a problem for me...
    Thanks in advance for your advice.
    JC

    It's no problem to have both on the same system.

    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
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 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?
