If I update to Snow Leopard, will final cut pro still work?

If I update to Snow Leopard, will final cut pro still work? My current version of Final Cut Pro is 6.0.6. Thanks.

Apple is not telling you the Complete story about Lion.
The installer for FCP 6 is Power PC code/ IBM CPU code, which Lion does not support.
FCP 6 is NOT Power PC code, it will run on Lion and Mountain Lion, as I have read on many posts.
The solution??
Solution condition where FCP 6 installed and upgrading OS to Lion
Do nothing, its already running OK
Solution condition where FCP 6 not installed and OS Lion installed.
Connect a firewire drive to your MAC and install the old OS on it (eg snow leopard) ,
Reboot to that OS
Install FCP 6
Reboot to your new OS   (EG Lion)
Run FCP 6

  • Mac Pro Dual Core (pre 2009) - Leopard to Snow Leopard and Final Cut Pro 7

    I have a pre 2009 Mac Pro running Leopard and Final Cut Pro 6. My question is should I upgrade to Snow Leopard, and Final Cut Pro 7? Both, neither, just one of them... and in what order?
    I am afraid of some of the issues people have been discussing (one website even said with a non intel based system neither updates can be done, but I have Intel Xeon processor)
    Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks kindly

    Your macpro will run Snow Leopard and FCut 7 just fine. There are plenty of "whats new in Final Cut Pro" tutorials out there to research and learn whether the new things are useful to you. Snow Leopard...plenty have had issues with it. As always, it's best to have a full mirror backup before you update to Snow Leopard so if you do have problems you can go back easily. I'd definitely move to 10.5.8 if not SLeopard. I have a PCIe card that won't work with SL so I'm holding off till I install a new card. There are still some incompatibilties known so you may want to check Apple's list.

  • Will Final Cut Pro X work with Yosemite

    Will Final Cut Pro X work with Yosemite?

    me too version 10.8. It would have been nice to know yosemite was going to crap out my primary video editing software! I use this for my video editing for my business video production and it would have been nice to know ahead of time or here's a crazy idea how about the software developers who are making millions off final cut pro sales release a fix BEFORE apple roles out yosemite for free. I don't have time to chase down every blog in the world to see issues etc. The reason I bought a mac is I just need it to work so I can work on my business.

  • Will Final Cut Pro X work with mavericks

    Was thinking about upgrading to Mavericks on my Mac Book Pro Retina but wanted to know, 1) will it use a lot more storage and 2) will it work with Final Cut Pro X?

    When I was running the supposed GM of Mavericks just before it was released, FCPX wouldn't let me import ANYthing into it. When the import window would open it wouldn't let me choose anything. FCPX became useless and I would have to force quit it. So, I'm a little hesitant to upgrade to it today.

  • Will Final Cut Pro X work nicely on a late 2009 13" MacBook Pro 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo with 2GB RAM?

    I want to get FCPX but I am not sure if it will be so good on this Macbook Pro... Will it work decently on it even with just 2GB RAM and a Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz and a 13" screen? I also have the lastest version of Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    Check here to see if your graphics card is supported. Core i5 is fine, 8 GB RAM is fine but more is better.
    You will need fast external drives (FW800 or TB). FCP X has a fully functioning trial version.

  • Will Final Cut Pro X work on this old Mac Pro?

    Hello,
    I'm running OS 10.6.8 on this computer:
    Model Name: Mac Pro
      Model Identifier: MacPro4,1
      Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
      Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
      Number Of Processors: 1
      Total Number Of Cores: 4
      L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB
      L3 Cache: 8 MB
      Memory: 16 GB
    I want to upgrade my OS. So I know I'll have to upgrade FCP from 6 to X. Will it work okay on my old Mac Pro?
    Thanks.

    It's a little more complicated than that.
    I've got to update my OS from 10.6.8 because I need to update some other programs. Once I do that, I can't use my FCP 6 anymore.
    So the only way to try it out is to update the OS.
    I think I'll look into upgrading the VRAM if that's possible.
    Thanks.
    Have you thought about a dual boot system?
    This way you do not have to change any existing stuff.
    BTW: I had exactly the same tower as yours and it was the graphics card that was the weak link.
    In my case I upgraded to a newer Mac.

  • Upgraded to Mac OS X Snow Leopard and final cut express 4 will not work

    upgraded to Mac OS X Snow Leopard and final cut express 4 will not launch but my final cut express HD 3.0 version comes up. I reinstall my final cut express 4 upgrade disc and it still will not launch.
    Where do I go from here?

    You installed from the discs, right?
    What happens when you try to launch? What are you doing to launch and what happens you do it? Can't see you computer from here. If you probably need to contact Apple with an installation issue on a new computer.

    - Does anyone run FCS 5.1 on Leopard Currently?
    - I need a 100% YES before I upgrade Tiger to Leopard
    P.s I know I'm really behind the times, but my philosophy is " If it isn't broken don't fix it.

  • Will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

    will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

    Thanks Tom.
    So I will need  upgrade to FCP 7 first, then convert to an XML file in 6.0.6, then convert to another file that FCP X can read? I have a lot of half done projects that need finishing. Is this process very complex and time consuming?
    Maybe I should be approaching this from a different angle. The reason I am asking is that I now need to upgrade to a new Mac book pro and have been told that I cant run final cut pro 6.0.6 on the new models using maverick. Is this true?

    Look at this technical specs document, your system should be fine with the possible exception of Color.
    As for managing your preference files, use Digital Rebellion's tool.
    Good luck.

  • Will Final Cut Pro 4.5 still work if I upgrade to Mac OS X v10.5.4?

    Will Final Cut Pro 4.5 still work if I upgrade to Mac OS X v10.5.4?

    I'm with Jon on this one. I know someone who uses FCP 5.0 on a MacBook Pro, he has all sorts of wierd issues including:
    Projects he has created throwing up an error message "Unreadable on this machine" when re-opened.
    Projects losing and refusing to connect to render files.
    Dissolves simply not working -this is not to do with lack of handles, it just happens.
    LiveType and FCP's own title generator files not automatically compositing.
    Lots of kernel panics and unexpected quits.
    These might not happen all the time, but always crop up at the worst possible moment.
    I can move his project files and media to my setup and everything works.

  • Will final cut pro X 10.0.8  still be available for purchase after the new final cut pro release for mavericks/new macpro in december?

    will final cut pro X 10.0.8  still be available for purchase after the new final cut pro release for mavericks/new macpro in december?

    10.0.8 is no longer available, except in the trial version. The current sale version is 10.0.9. Apple has never sold older versions of their software, only the current version. That's not going to change in the near future.

  • Will Final Cut Pro X recognize Avid Mojo interfacing with Broadcast Pix?  If so, how do I accomplish this?

    Our church used an HP for 12 years that was refurbished and finally died.  We captured Sunday services for broadcast using Avid Express connected to a Broadcast Pix Switcher via an Avid Mojo with a firewire cable.  This week, I replaced it the HP with a Mac in hopes of using Final Cut Pro to capture and edit video for broadcast.  Will Final Cut Pro X recognize Avid Mojo interfacing with Broadcast Pix?  If so, how do I accomplish this?  Currently I have the mojo connected to the Mac via a firewire adapter through the thunderbolt port.  However, the Mac isn't seeing the mojo or the cameras connected to the switcher.

    Just turned off background rendering.
    I'm not certain what you mean for specs in a specific point in the video, but here are the specs for the entire edit I initially received:
    Dimensions: 1920 X 1080
    Codecs: H.264, AAC, Timecode
    2 Audio Channels
    Total bit rate: 12,083
    Size: 951,735,770 bytes (951.7 MB on disk)
    Here are the specs for the exported video that has the audio issue:
    Dimensions: 1920 X 1080
    Codecs: H.264, AAC, Timecode
    2 Audio Channels
    Total bit rate: 12,274
    Size: 966,817,082 bytes (966.8 MB on disk)
    The video is 10:28 minutes long and the audio leaves at 5:57.
    If that wasn't what you were looking for, just let me know. I'm not very good with technical stuff sometimes so may have misunderstood.
    Is there something I should have done to the piece before I began color correcting it, like transcoding?
