Final Cut Pro 4 on Intel

Does anyone know if I would be able to run an old version I have of Final Cut Pro 4 on an iMac which has Intel processors? Because I read about some of the old versions of Final Cut Studio that said it would only run on non-intel machines. Thanks.

While I haven't tried this, I assume it will not even let you install, because the recommended hardware environment cannot be located by the installer.
That said, it would be technically possible to run FCP 4 on an intel Mac. Because it's a PPC-only binary, however, it would require Rosetta to run. The resulting performance penalty would therefore very likely make it unusable.
I'd say it's not even worth trying. Upgrade to FCS 1 now or wait until FCS 2 is out...

Final Cut Pro HD on my imac G5

I just bought an iMac G5 (iSight) and I found out Final Cut Pro HD is not running. The system is asking for an AGP GRAPHICS CARD. Has anybody experienced this? Do I have to get an extra Graphics Card? Is not enought with the iMac hardware itself as it comes? Its gonna be an extra $300 for a new AGP card, and...is it gonna be attachable? I have no Idea. Tnxs for any information.

First off, the iMac G5 does not have an upgradeable graphics card, nor is one attachable. Only PowerMac G5s and Powerbooks with Cardbus/PCMCIA slots can have a different graphics card attached.
Secondly, according to:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/motion/specs.html
These are the recommended cards:
ATI Radeon X850 XT
ATI Radeon X800 XT
ATI Radeon X600 XT or X600 Pro
ATI Radeon 9800 XT or 9800 Pro
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
ATI Radeon 9600 XT or 9600 Pro
ATI Mobility Radeon 9700
ATI Mobility Radeon 9600
NVIDIA GeForce Quadro FX 4500
NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT
NVIDIA GeForce 6600 and 6600 LE
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL or 6800 GT DDL
NVIDIA GeForce Go5200 or FX 5200 Ultra
According to:
http://www.apple.com/imacg5/specs.html
ATI Radeon X600 XT with 128MB DDR SDRAM
is included. So it would appear your graphics card is supported. The problem may be in the amount of physical RAM in your machine, or a need to repair permissions prior to installation. Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility allows you to repair permissions.
I doubt with a new machine that any preferences are corrupted this early in the game, though you may have a hardware issue preventing you from using the software. You may be able to detect hardware issues with the restore disk that came with your machine marked hardware test, bootable much the same as the Powerbook's hardware test volume is here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86287
Run the extended test if nothing else appears to work.
There is also the Final Cut Pro forum here which more people may have suggestions. You may also need an upgrade to the latest Final Cut HD to run on that operating system from http://www.apple.com/swupdates/

Final Cut Pro 4 for Intel Mac

I have FCP 4.0 on an older Mac. I recently purchased a new intel Mac Pro. I'm trying to install FCP 4.0 on my new intel Mac Pro but it will not install. I get an error message about not being compatible with intel. Does anyone know if there is an upload to correct this problem? I don't have the extra money to buy the software again.
Thanks for your help,
Michelle

According to the Apple website: [http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/BizCustom?qprm=78313&productLearn More=MA886Z/A]
Upgrade Eligibility
The upgrade version requires a valid serial number from a commercial version of
Final Cut Studio, Production Suite, or Final Cut Pro 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Academic
and not-for-resale versions are not eligible for this upgrade.
Elsewhere on the page:
Buy New $1,299.00
Upgrade from Final Cut Studio* $499.00
Upgrade from Final Cut Pro or Production Suite* $699.00
Not bad, considering what you get in FCS: DVD studio Pro, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, Color etc...
If money is really tight, and all you want to do is edit, look into Final Cut Express HD @ $199 - includes Livetype and supports FXPlug 3rd party plugins, but that's about all (unless AVCHD means anything to you).
You can always use iDVD for your DVDs.

Final cut pro 5 on intel mac

ok i have seen ALOT of people do this. and it always works. they make final cut pro 4.5 work on an intel mac bye going to applications right clicking on FCP 4.5 going to show package contents and open up info.plist with text edit then find the AGP in the info.plist and replace it with PCI. i was wondering. would this work on final cut pro 5.0? would it work on FCP 4.0?. if you have tried please tell me thanks!

It's technically not supported. Even if you do get it to work, you may experience problems down the line.

Final Cut Pro 4 and Intel, is it compatible?

Would it be possible to run Final Cut Pro 4 under a computer that uses an Intel processor? If that's so, how good (or bad) would it be?

It may or may not work. SOme people reported success in getting it to work, but notice a HUGE slowdown in performance compared to their previous system. Others haven't gotten it to work at all. There is a hack out there if you get the warning about the AGP card...but that hack doesn't always work.
best to get the latest version.

My Final Cut Pro X crashed my Imac

I was editing a project, I was working so hard until I dragged a audio file from Finder into the timeline and then my Imac crashed, there was nothing I could do, nothing was responding, so in my desesperation I did a pretty stupid thing, I turned off the Imac from the power supply and turned back on, when I opened Final Cut my project was corrupted and there was nothing I could do to recover it, how did it crashed and why? I am worried that with other projects the same could happen, any tips? PLEASE HELP

Are you using 10.0.9, or 10.1? Or some earlier version of FCP X? It would be helpful to note such things in your request for help. ::grin::
Do this while FCP X is not an active/ open application: for 10.0.9, there is a Backups folder in your Final Cut Projects folder containing the problematic Project. As I recall, you move the "CurrentVersion.fcpproject" document (this is the apparently damaged one) to a safe place, noting what it is and when and why you moved it. Then copy (not move) the ".fcpproject" document from the Backups folder (option drag the file to copy) to the Project folder, and rename it to "CurrentVersion.fcpproject".
In 10.1, there is a similar file, but it is in the Library package, I've not had the opportunity to try the renaming process, but would assume there is some way to do it.
No matter what you do, it would be best to have a backup of the folders before doing something with them that prevents you from going back to there previous state- control clicking and selecting "compress" is a good way to archive them, I usually name them by date and time, "2013_1222 2206 Solstice Project", for example.
Best wishes.

Graphics card, Final Cut Pro on a new iMac

Hi all,
I am planning to buy a iMac to edit some video. I've noticed you can choose between two graphics card,
NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 or ATI Radeon HD 4850. Which will be better for my case? Thanks in advance,
Takeshi

Your answer is probably at http://www.barefeats.com/imac09.html
Especially as the 4850 is only $50 USD more.

The Panasonic HDC-HS700, will it work with Final Cut Pro on an Intel Mac?

Anyone have any experience with this one, the new hard drive camera from Panasonic? It seems like a pretty nice camera that I might have to use for an upcoming project, will the 60p AVCHD files be readable in FCP? I have version 6.0.6, and can update if needed. Straight info on this is hard to come by on the internet, so any answers/experience? This would be a working camera that I would be looking for the workflow to be smooth with. Thanks!

Seems to me that the software on an apple system has not caught up to where it could be for this camera, unless i'm mistaken.
Nor Adobe, nor Avid. Nor any makers of DVD players, BluRay, HD DVD. Nor broadcasters who air shows. Nor web formats.
60p isn't a format that is mastered either. Not to tape, not broadcast over the air, not a format you encode to BluRay or regualr DVD...not a web format. So why you'd shoot a format that you can't even deliver...seems pointless. 1080 is either 23.98fps, or 29.97fps. It is 720p that is 59.94fps...but that is used rarely. But that is the only 60 frame format that has output and airable options.

Exporting from Final Cut Pro back to DV tape

Is it possible to export a project done in Final Cut Pro back to mini DV tape? I need to do it in order to put in on a Windows machine at school. Or, is there a way to export it so I can import it into a Windows machine to use with Final Cut Pro? Thank you.

Is it possible to export a project done in Final Cut Pro back to mini DV tape? I need to do it in order to put in on a Windows machine at school.
Yes,
- hook up your camera to the computer via firewire
- put the camera in VTR mode
- push RECORD on the camera
- play the timeline
- STOP recording when the sequence is complete
- your material is now on the tape.
Gotchas ...Make sure you have set the display and the audio to be sent out firewire to the external monitor (aka your camera).
For an alternative to the process described above, read the manual section on "Print to Tape".
Once at school, your windows machine needs the ability to capture video material.
Or, is there a way to export it so I can import it into a Windows machine to use with Final Cut Pro?
Final Cut Pro does not run on a Windows machine. I don't understand your question.
good luck.

Final Cut Pro 5 is Running Slow Any suggestions?

I have been using Final Cut Pro 5 with my Imac for some time now and last night i started it up and it was running very slow. I restarted my system to see if that would help but none of that helped.
Can you give me some hints on getting this thing running faster again?
Thanks

Final Cut Pro Render/ export crashes

hello everyone,
i've been working on a very lengthy project which i am trying to finish up on final cut pro 5 but the problem is final cut is being extremely difficult and will not get through rendering or exporting a single thing without crashing. i don't know if it's ridiculously poor programming or the lack of a plugin that might be the problem. the details are that i recorded myself drawing on photoshop using snapzpro with apple's animation codec and set everything up in pro so that my drawing is time-lapsed and all i have to do now is render and export. i rendered the project once before and it went fine overnight, but it failed to render the cropping i had put in so when i came to render it again and it does nothing but crash, sometimes at 2%, sometimes at 0%. That colour wheel starts turning and never stops (even 9 hours after leaving my macbook) and this even happens when i try to render 2 seconds worth of footage (force quit also says final cut is not responding). truth be told i am extremely frustrated with final cut right now and would appreciate any support i could get on how to get this god awful thing to just work.
i tried using fcp rescue and closing all unnecessary programs but nothing worked. i just don't get why it rendered the first time through and now decides to crash all the time.
plz help, and thx.

You have two problems.
1. As David noted, you are running a non compatible version (PPC) of Final Cut Pro on your intel machine. This is not supported and will cause all sorts of quirky behavior. The only way to solve this issue is to upgrade to a universal binary version.
2. The animation codec is intended as a means to transfer files between programs in a lossless manner. It is not intended to be edited on low power machines and CERTAINLY not on the system drive. Things may work better with an edit friendly codec.
As far as the general crashing, there is no telling at this point whether your files are simply corrupted, the preferences are corrupted, the non-intel nature of the program is causing the crashes as you stress the process during renders or what.
If it is a corrupted file - pay attention to where the render fails. THe files around that point are suspect.
If it is a corrupted pref file, use a program like FCP Rescue 5 to delete the FCP preference files.
Good luck.

Final cut pro 4

I cannot setup Final Cut Pro 4 on my iMac.
OS X 10.3.9
CPU Power PC 500 MHZ G3
256 MB SDRAM
What's the problem? Is this imac under the minimal requirements?
Thanks
Matteo

You need at least 500MB RAM...
Running FCP on a 500Mhz G3 iMac will be like swimming through syrup with a lead weight tied round both ankles... without a snorkle... in the dark... with a syrup-shark looming up from the depths...
Very frustrating...
