  • HDD vs SSD for new MacBook Pro and FCP editing performance

    I will be purchasing a new MacBook Pro and I'm curious about performance as it relates to large FCP projects. I'm looking to hear from folks who can help me determine if a solid state drive (SSD) would be worth the extra cost. I edit large FCP projects and I'm curious if using a SSD would be the way to go. Will I get better editing performance with a SSD as opposed to the 7200 RPM HDD?
    Thanks!

    As a boot drive, SSDs have exceedingly last fast access times, and great data throughput rates. My Crucial SSD has a write read of about 200 MB/s. I can boot in under four seconds, and access apps, and web sites pretty **** fast.
    However, beyond this, I don't see any real, substantial or dramatic gains in editing performance at all as a boot drive. I'd save your money on get more RAM, and best CPU and GPU you can afford.

  • MacBook Pro and FCP 4.0

    I got new MacBook Pro few days ago. I asked technician about possible working for FCP with Macbook. He said yes. I installed FCP 4.0 to MacBook pro and it does not work. Configuration error: missing AGP graphics card. What do I need? New FCP verison or what?

    There's a hack for the AGP card problem, but the real issue is trying to run FCP 4 under Rosetta on an Intel chipped Mac - its sloooooow. You're best bet would be to take advantage of Apple's $199.00 upgrade/crossgrade offer and get the complete Final Cut Studio package.

  • Macbook pro and FCP compatibility

    Hey all,
    Through work, I have just purchased a Macbook Pro for an FCP project. I started part of this project on a mac pro with final cut pro 4.5/HD. I want to continue this project on the new macbook pro, so i guess my questions are:
    - Can i install FCP 4.5 on the macbook pro/ is it compatible?
    - I was also thinking about getting FCP 5. Is FCP 5 compatible for the macbook pro and where can i purchase it? I tried the online mac store but couldn't find it?
    Thank you in advance!

    This is the FCP forum area. A good place to ask all your questions:

    and to purchase:

  • My new 13 inch Macbook Pro and FCP and FCS 2

    Until today I thought I could not run FCP and FCS 2 Full Suite because of my graphics card in my base, stock, 13" Macbook Pro. -- I'm being told that my 9400M with 256 shared memory will run these applications. That's good news to me if it's true. What are some of your views from the Pro camp please. I can bring up the memory and hard drive. I just shoot and edit in Standard Definition with my Canon Optura 50 MINI DV Tapes and my Canon HV20 with the same.
    I realize I am on the low end but will it work?

    Some of it will, although you might not be happy with the performance of Motion and Color will probably not install at all.

  • Firestore Importing Problems with MacBook Pro and FCP

    Hello,
    I've encountered a problem trying to import my P2 files from my brand new Firestore and for some reason my trusty MacBook Pro doesn't acknowledge their existence. Here's my process so far:
    1.) I captured the footage in P2 mode at 720/24P
    2.) I initially just tried to plug the Firestore into the computer.
    3.) Then I saw that I had to set it up into DD Drive mode. I did this before running the "Organize P2" utility.
    4.) When I opened the Firestore's icon on the desktop I saw only the ten reel folders (numbered 0-9) and the log folder. None of these folders had any clips inside them.
    5.) After checking the manual again I hit the "organize P2" utility. This did not make any files show up.
    6.) I tried "Import Panasonic P2" inside of FCP, but it doesn't see the files either.
    7.) The only encouraging factor is that I CAN playback the files on my HVX200 from the device.
    BUT HOW CAN I GET THEM INTO FINAL CUT PRO!?!?!?!?!
    Thank you so much,
    Stef

  • MacBook Pro and FCP X?

    I have a MacBook Pro, 13 inch, Early 2011(2.3 GHz Intel Core i5) with 4GB memory, Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB graphics card.  I am running OS 10.9.4 on it.  What do I need to upgrade on the MacBook Pro to get it to work efficiently with FCP X?  Most of my work with FCP X is done on an older MacPro tower which uses Lion with FCP X 10.0.9.  How do I get this older version of FCP X from the App store so that I can do work on both machines?

    Just as you would copy any other file.
    Plug in a hard drive or thumbdrive and drag the FCP X icon from the Applications folder onto it.
    Wait until it is copied onto the hard drive etc., disconnect the hard drive and reconnect it to your MBP, and copy FCP X onto your MBP desktop.
    You can then put it into your Applications folder.
    It's also a good idea to keep a backup copy as you can never be sure whether you will be able to download it from the App Store  .  .  .  only the latest version is normally available.
    Your backup copy could be on a hard drive, memory stick, SD card or burned to a DVD.

  • New 13" MacBook Pro and FCP Express?

    Is the new 13" MBP OK for light video editing with iMovie or FCP Express and little photo editing with Photoshop Elements?
    For video I use Panasonic AG-HMC40 AVCCAM HD.
    Thanks!

    Graphics.
    However, as I keep telling everyone, I have an almost prehistoric 2004 G4 eMac (1.25GHz 768MB RAM and 32MB VRAM) which ran and still does run, FCE 4 and FCP 6 perfectly well.
    The only minor problem was that the new FxPlug effects did not work, but with 200 other effects there was still plenty to keep anyone happy.
    Your setup will not have that problem and even though it isn't the latest iteration it should still be excellent for the job.

  • Just bought new MacBook Pro and can't get FCP Studio to load on it. Any Help!

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro and I tried to load FCP Studio on it and it says it does not support it. I use FCP Studio 2 and I need to use it as I don't know FCP X. Any suggestions. I currently have FCP Studio 2 on a 2008 Mac Pro with Maverick on it.
    Thanks, Gale

    Final Cut Studio 2? That's 8 years old...4 OS versions ago.  Mavericks doesn't take FCP 7 into account, much less FCP 6.  In fact, to even install FCP 6 onto the PREVIOUS OS, Mountain Lion, you had to hack the terminal, or install Pacifist and do some shenanigans to get it to recognize the installer. 
    In short, it's very difficult to get older, discontinued software to work on new computers with new OSs.  If you need to use FCP 6, then you need to stick to older computers and OS's that run it. 
    It is on your 2008 MBP because, no doubt, you upgraded the OS around the already installed apps.  I'm not sure how well it will work.

  • I've been reading the comments re FCPX on MacBook Pro and now I'm scared. I'm taking a class now and thinking about buying to do videos for nonprofits. Won't be fancy stuff, but now wonder if it's a good choice. Also, heard Apple will drop support. Help?

    I've been reading the comments re FCPX on MacBook Pro and now I'm scared. I'm taking a class in FCPX and thinking about buying to do videos for nonprofits. Won't be fancy stuff, but now wonder if it's a good choice. Also, a classmate who was in CA last weekend said he heard that Apple will drop support of FCPX. Any truth? Advice?. I'm on 10.7.4 with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz. Thanks.

    While it is against the TOU of these boards to speculate on future products/updates what Thomas said is right: FCPX is quite a new product and it doesn't make any sense to drop it now.
    The only thing that MIGHT get dropped at a certain point is support for older hardware/OS as FCP X progresses.

  • I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? Thanks

    I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
    Thanks so much!

    FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
    -Close FCP
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
    -Empty your trash
    Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
    Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.
    EDIT: Or use the really simple explaination that X posted as I was typing.

    Wonder if anyone can help? Have just bought a new Macbook pro and installed FCP7. I thought that I would get quicktime pro as standard but stuck with QTX. Downloaded QT7 but it won't let me install it. Says I can't do install as I already have QTX. Does FCP not come with QTpro or am I jsut being stupid. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.  B

    Are you running Lion or Snow Leopard? either way this may help by the looks of it.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 - Macbook Pro and Macbook Air will not print

    Products:
    HP Officejet Pro 8600
    Macbook Pro (Mac OS X, Version 10.7.5)
    Macbook Air (OS X, Version 10.8.2)
    Question:
    Why did my Macs initially print fine, but now will not print at all?
    Full Story:
    I have a wireless network at my house that consisted of a 30mb cable internet, Netgear 900n, HP Officejet Pro 8600, 2 Dell Laptops with Windows 7, a Lenovo Laptop with Windows 7, and Dell Tower with Windows 7 - All printed just fine.
    The HP Officejet 8600 was added to my network about 2 months ago.  
    I added a Macbook Pro and a Macbook Air about 3 weeks ago.  Both Macs printed just fine for about a week.  Then suddenly they stopped.  I spent about 2 hours on the phone with HP Service, and they finally said it must be my router.  So I called Netgear.  Netgear was useless!  They wanted me to agree to charges for services before they would even discuss the issue.  
    Due to information provided by HP's service support, and because Netgear will not support their product, I promptly purchased a new router - an Apple Airport Extreme.
    The Macs recognize the printer, will print if hardwired via a USB cable, but will not print wirelessly to the Officejet Pro 8600.  The PCs print fine.  
    The frustration that is being felt is compound by the fact that the Macs printed just fine with the Officejet Pro 8600 2 weeks ago, and now the printer just shows "idle"... even with a new router. (see image below)
    Please help, I appreciate any support.  
    As a side note, the HP Service rep was very friendly, and definitely tried to support the HP Product, which is much more than I can say about Netgear.
    Thank you,
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    More likely the issue related with Multicast, which Apple devices relies on to communicate with teh device through the network.
    First try unplugging the router for 30 seconds.
    Plug it back to the power and wait for 2-3 minutes.
    Turn the HP printer Off and back On, then check for any difference.
    If the same persists, try changing your router configuration as following
    Note: the settings below are not related with the HP product, I provide you the steps as a best effor and those are only based on my own knowledge. you may try modifying the router settings at your own risk:
    Open the router configuration page (can be found listed as the Default Gateway by clicking the Wireless icon on the printer, then print a network configuration report.
    Click the Advanced tab.
    Click the Setup option from the menu, then click on WAN Setup.
    Make sure to uncheck the box next to Disable IGMP Proxying and Apply the changes.
    Click the LAN Setup on the same Setup menu.
    Set the RIP Version as RIP-2 and Apply the changes.
    Reboot your router and then check for any change.
    I hope you may find that information useful, you may also use the user guide below for further information:
