HT3696 just wondering whether i can install final cut pro in my macbook air intel corei5

just wondering whether can i install final cut pro in my macbook air wth intel corei5 64bit

yes, you can. Its on mine.
If however you plan on anything other THAN simple cuts and simple edits, youre barking up the wrong tree.
Heavy layer and graphics additions or any serious vid. edits is not the forte' or platform for the macbook Air.
see here for the details:

  • Does final cut pro work on Macbook air.

    Does final cut pro work on Macbook air.
    I know it works fine on my Macbook Pro, but considering getting an Air for travelling, and like to import and do some basic editing while away.
    Used to have a Macbook, and FCP wouldn't load on that.
    Understand the Air's limitations on disk size, but only wanting it as a travelling editor.
    Thanks

    "Traveling editor" could imply dedicated offlining. Shane, do you think that could work with a low rez ProRes codec?
    I don't think anyone has tried to use an AirBook for FCP. Anyone bother to search?

  • I CAN'T INSTALL FINAL CUT PRO 3 ON MY NEW INTEL IMAC, HELP!!!

    I'm trying to install FINAL CUT PRO 3 onto my new iMac but can't. It reads the disk but then says, "Original disk needed for install." I have the original disk, I own a registered copy of the program, so I'm stuck.

    Hi -
    I believe Final Cut 5 is designed to run on a Power PC CPU machine, the current MacBooks use Intel chips - so the software will not install on your Intel based MacBook.
    You can, however, upgrade from a full version of Final Cut 5 to Final Cut Studio 3 which contains the latest version of FCP, version 7 as well as Compressor, Color, Soundtrack Pro and Motion for $299 which is a steal as the full version for Final Cut Studio 3 is $999.
    You only need the serial number of the full version (non-academic or non-upgrade version) to do the FCS 3 upgrade - you don't need to have FCP 5 loaded on your machine to make the upgrade work.
    Hope this helps.

  • SD Card not showing up in Final Cut Pro on the MacBook Air

    I have been using Final Cut Pro X on a Macbook Air (1.7ghz Intel i5, 256gb ssd, 4gb RAM) and when I insert an SD Card, it shows up but immediately disappears. It continues to be displayed on my friends MacBook Pro, but does not on my Air. 

    Apologies! All sorted. My mac was just taking so long to render the audio lol
    Still having issues with syncing audio (zoom h4n) video clips (multicam clip or sync clips). Normally works like a dream even on difficult material, but for some reason now randomly sync's clips way off the mark.
    Cheers

  • Final Cut Pro (FCP) on MacBook Air. Possible?

    Is it possible to run Final Cut Pro (NOT FCP X) on a MacBook Air?
    I would like to be able to do basic editing, but mainly use it to dump footage on location to external harddrives.

    "Traveling editor" could imply dedicated offlining. Shane, do you think that could work with a low rez ProRes codec?

  • I installed final cut pro on my macbook pro. If I buy a new macbook pro I can move it?

    I want to buy a new macbook pro. I currently have a macbook pro in 2009. Buying a new Macwill lose all installed programs and regularly bought from Apple? For example, Final Cut ProX, Kynote, ect

    WOW! Thanks for the quick response! Thanks again hoping that everything is fine!

  • Final Cut Pro on a MacBook Air mid 2012

    Hi,
    I'm thinking about getting a new laptop with a 512 GB flash SSD. I would like to have FCP running for personal purposes (I'm starting to shoot interviews) and store more than 100 GB of pictures. Do you guys think that a MacBook Air with 8 GB of RAM is enough? I already have last year's Air and I'm really happy with it. I'm also considering the Retina but it's 1000 euro more expensive.
    Thanks for your answers

    I use FCP 5.1 on a white macbook with no problem.
    Although you'll seriously want to use an external firewire hard drive.
    It seems like the fact that doesn't support something doesn't mean it won't work. It just seems like it may work, but don't call them with issues.

    Hi Shane,
    Just one more quesiton re: this topic, I am looking to get rosetta but do not have Leopard or Snow Leopard...
    I read that it is not on Snow Leopard only on Leopard....so do I need to get only Leopard? Can u advise?
    Alternatively I do have Mac OS X Tiger so is it on this and can I install it from here?
    Please excuse my lack of knowledge here, just trying to get my FCP 6 up and running asap....
    Best Rgds.

  • Just Opened My New Mac Pro and trying to install Final Cut Pro

    Just opened up my new Mac. I'm trying to install Final Cut Pro. I put the CD in the tray and it doesn't install. Usually the install icon comes up on the desktop, but it doesn't. I am logged in when attempting to install it.

    The answer to your first question is to use the "Finder". That is how you access your storage media, folders and files on a Mac... I assume by this question that you must be a Windows user.
    When you open the Disk Utility, you should see both the drive and any media mounted by the drive. You also went to the System Profiler via "About This Mac". The DVD drive is not shown in the overview, but is found in ATA, and the burner in Disc Burning. In ATA you should see the physical drive and also below, any disc mounted by the drive.
    Although application CD/DVD discs should open on the desktop when inserted, the same is not necessarily true of music CD's. What Mac OS X does in their case is dictated by settings in System Prefs, CDs & DVDs.
    If you need AppleCare, whatever you do, don't just arrive there without a Genius Bar appointment, or you'll be wasting a trip. As far as contacting Cupertino AppleCare by phone, you can find that at the bottom of the Support page under "Contact Support".
    ...And I agree with the others, that being descriptive is always best.
    Hope this helps.

  • I am trying to install Final cut pro studio V1.0.1 (2005) on OS X lion. I get a message "You can't open the application final cut studio.mpkg because power pc application are no longer supported

    I am trying to install Final cut pro 5 studio V1.0.1 (2005) on OS X lion. I get a message "You can't open the application final cut studio.mpkg because power pc application are no longer supported. My computer is New. Is their a link I can go to get tech support?

    You won't find any help at tech support ... other than telling you the facts: Intel processor Macs require FCP 5.1 or higher.  FCP 5.0 and earlier were written for PowerPC processor Macs, long before Apple switched to using Intel processors.
    And then there's the issue of the OS.  OS 7 will allow FCP 7 (and sometimes even FCP 6) to work OK, but versions earlier than that have spotty operation on Lion.
    Here's a brief history of full FCP versions and recommended OS compatibility:
    * = requires PPC             ** = works with both PPC and Intel                          *** = require Intel
    FCP 1.0*       OS 9
    FCP 2.0*       OS 9
    FCP 3.0*       OS 9, OS 10.1, OS 10.2
    FCP 4.0*       OS 10.2, 10.3
    FCP 4.5*       OS 10.3
    FCP 5.0*       OS 10.3 (OS 10.4?)
    FCP 5.1**     OS 10.4, 10.5
    FCP 6.0**     OS 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 (OS 10.7?)
    FCP 7.0***    OS 10.6, OS 10.7
    FCP-X***       OS 10.6, OS 10.7
    Essentially, you have a newer Intel processor Mac with a new OS and very old, incompatible software.   You might be able to find a used version of Final Cut Studio 3 on sites like ebay or craigslist as it is no longer offered by Apple as an upgrade.
    Alternatively, you could purchase and download FCP-X, but it is an entirely different application, sharing virtually nothing with previous versions of FCP.

  • Can't install final cut pro 5.0/erased my old final cut

    I just got final cut studio and the option for installing final cut pro is inaccessible. When it finished installing (said it was successful), my old version of final cut was gone and the new version was not installed.
    What do I do because when I go to reinstall it, it wont let me install it (says skip)?

  • Installing Final Cut Pro 1.2.5 on OS X

    A buddy of mine was digging through some of his old software and found an unopened version of Final Cut Pro 1.2.5. I'm attempting to install in on my PowerBook G4, and I'm wondering if it is even possible.
    I have installed and began running "classic" on my machine and have installed FCP, but when I try to start the program the following error message shows up: "That application or control panel is not supported by Classic"
    I have no idea what this means, and all i'm trying to do is to install FCP v 1.2.5 so I can upgrade to version 3.0.2. I know the software is a little behind the times, but I can not turn down free software.

    Open the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences and check if there is a Mac OS 9 entry in the list of disks; if so, click on it and then on the Restart button. From here, install Final Cut Pro 1.25 and then upgrade to 3.02; additional information on upgrading is available in this article.
    If you cannot boot your computer from Mac OS 9, you cannot install Final Cut Pro 3.02 through the upgrade package; you need a full installation disk.

  • Installing Final Cut Pro

    I want to install final cut pro at home, but I just want the basics that will allow me to edit a home movie and burn it to disc. Can I just install the final cut pro application or do I need anything else, ie studio pro, compressor, motion, etc?'
    Thanks.

    Of the Final Cut Studio applications, these titles will do what you describe:
    Final Cut Pro
    Compressor
    DVD Studio Pro
    But have you considered using FCE or iMovie/iDVD? Might be more what you're looking for and much cheaper.

  • Most of my drop down menus showing faded black after installing final cut pro x.. Any ideas?

    I recently just installed final cut pro x on my computer. After installing it and rebooting, I noticed that my login picture was faded and orange looking and my drop down menus fonts are thick black text instead of the normal and certain menus are faded and blackened out looking. Any ideas? I have a Macbook pro 2.4GHz core 2 duo with 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3 running Lion 10.7.3  ...
    The only thing i can think of is the final cuts pro software that maybe did it because nothing else was installed or downloaded.
    Furthermore, is there a good software that Apple suggest as far as cleaning your computer and optimizing it's performance? I DO NOT want Mackeeper or any of that mess.
    Your help is appreciated

    Appreciate your help Ian and others.   I have since uninstalled FCS and reinstalled FCXP only to get the same thing. Loading FCXP stalls at "Looking for Compressor Support".  When I first downloaded FCXP from the App store I didn't notice that FCS was being placed in it's own folder.  It's not something I did manually.  Although moved into it's own folder with FCXP on the same drive.  I was not able to open FCS apps. They would load and then "quit unexpectantly".  They opened just fine before I downloaded FCXP.  Do I need to purchase Compressor so that FCXP recognizes it? It seems this is where it stalls. It doesn't explain however why my computer "FREEZES" while doing this.  I am in the process of re-installing Lion to see if this helps, otherwise I am at a complete loss.
