  • Final cut pro requires you to have a quartz extreme graphics card

    When I open Final Cut Pro, it says final cut pro requires you to have a quartz extreme graphics card. However, I have used the same thing for over a year already without any problems! Please help!
    It's an iMac 27inch quad core late 2009

    I bet you used Software update to download a few items recently (including a recent system update), and have not yet restarted your Mac. To confirm this, launch software update, and follow the instructions. Once you restart and the install completes, relaunch FCP, and you'll probably be good.
    (I just did that to myself the other day).
    Hope it helps!

  • Quartz Extreme Graphics Card Support FCE 3.5

    Newbie so bear with me...
    I have a Dual 1 GHz PowerPC G4 so I went with FCE 3.5 thinking I had all the minimum requirements as advertised. When I went to install it did not highlight for install. I checked the more detailed requirements in the package and the only thing I'm lacking was the "AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card". In the System Profiler under graphics/displays I have:
    ATY,RADEON:
    Chipset Model: ATY,RADEON
    Type: Display
    Bus: PCI
    Slot: SLOT-2

    Quartz Extreme: Not Supported
    As you can see it says Quartz Extreme not supported for the Viewsonic 19" monitor that I currently have. Wondering if there is a way around this. Just bought new HD camera setup/new os/fce so I would like to not spend more money on a new monitor. Let me know, thanks in advance!

    Hi Tom,
    There is no actual error message displayed - the Final Cut Express HD is not highlighted under Custom Install as shown in the screencapture below:
    http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/nstatom/fcpinstall.jpg
    The manual claims that if something is not highlighted it does not meet the minimum requirements and the only thing I do not meet is the video card. Any ideas? Thanks again in advance.

  • Quartz extreme video card message

    have final cut installed on my new macbook pro. It worked fine till I installed the new snow leopard. Now when I try to open final cut I get the message I need to install a quartz extreme video card. HELP

    What version of FCE is this? Try the escape key.

  • Final Cut won't start sometimes, says I need a quartz extreme video card

    Even though I have a quartz extreme capable video card and use Final Cut studio all the time, sometimes an error message will pop up and won't let me load any final cut application. The message is "Final cut pro recommends that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card."
    I've tried deleting the preferences, and then running applejack. Sometimes it works, but right now I can't get it to load. I'm not even sure where to start troubleshooting this. Any advice would be much appreciated.
    My software is all up to date.

    No, I have FCE 4 - should have said that - and it worked on my older Intel based MacBook Pro.
    As it turns out, though, I think I've solved the problem, adapting a solution to a related problem I found on MacRumors.com. Don't know why this is necessary, but here's the solution I tried:
    1. right click on the FCE application icon and select "Show Package Contents"
    2. open the "Contents" folder and then open the "info.plist" folder in Text Edit
    3. find the line that says: "<key>AELMinimumQuartzExtremeCapable</key>," and replace it with "<key>AELMinimumGeForceCapable</key>", and then make sure that the next line says "<string></string>" without any number specified. Or, if you have some other kind of graphics card that you know is compatible, you could say what that is instead of GeForce. I found it doesn't work just to delete this line completely.
    Again, I don't know why Apple didn't build in this flexibility when they updated their standard Graphics cards, but in any case this solution seems to work.

  • L9 & new MP Quad Install Issues: Quartz Extreme capable card?

    Hello - so I went for it and got a new Mac Pro and the L9 upgrade and the installer won't let me install it - it tells me that Logic Studio requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card. Anyone have any insight on how to fix this? Thanks!

    What? A quad Nehalem has insufficient video capabilities??? That is beyond ridiculous.

  • Need Quartz Extreme video card

    I'm planning to resurrect my of MDD for my son but the video card need charging to improve the GUI lag.
    At the moment I have an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro in my dual 867Mhz MDD but the GUI is sluggish and the video card doesn't support hardware accelerated Quartz Extreme, everything is handled by the CPUs.
    I am looking too replace the video card for something that will speed up the OS X GUI;
    Core Image: Hardware Accelerated
    Does the ATI 9600 Pro support this?
    Also what other video card options do I have? I've seen references to the Radeon X800 and GeForce 7800 GS but I'm just not sure.

    Hi,
    Well the ATI 9800 Pro video card arrived yesterday morning and was easy to install. I instantly could see the GUI was smoother (but no where near my MacPro ATI Radeon HD 3870) but still choppy. And yes, the profiler said QE was supported with Core Image hardware acceleration, which is what I was looking for; less demand on the CPUs for rendering the GUI.
    No drivers required, just slot the card in and away it goes. There was some ATI utilities to install but these were not required to make it work, I think.
    RAM
    I have 1.5gb RAM in the MDD, the memory is quite old now. Maybe its worth replacing it with some PC2700 spec RAM of today. I can't remember if the RAM is properly matched, so I'll look into that. RAM is cheap these days and four 512mb, crucial lists at $17.99 each.
    Boot Hard Disk
    After replacing the RAM, maybe look at replacing the boot HD, its still running on the original drive from the factory. Maybe a SATA PCI card and have two RAID 0 (striped) boot drives, something like a FirmTek SeriTek/1S2 and a couple of 10,000rpm drives.
    Question: Can I boot my PowerMac from a couple of striped drives using Apples software RAID? or will this be a backward step, maybe a cheap PCI Raid card would be a better option.
    Question: Can you get a PCI SATA card that supports hardware RAID 0?
    Comment
    Its kinda find doing all this with my old PowerMac, first time ever its received any kind of attention like this, well maybe just the Verax fans when I first I got this PowerMac in Sept 2002!

  • Told 0 vram and need quartz graphic card

    Final cut studio 2 loaded just fine 10 days ago.Now it quits unexpectantly and when I open in safe mode I'm told that I have zero vram and I need a quartz extreme graphic card.I have 256 vram and a Nvidia 8600m GT.Nothing new added.Only automatic updates.

    What computer are you running? If a MacPro, shut it down, unplug the power, take off the side and blow out the dust.
    Then, make sure the video card is fully seated.
    Button everything back up and try starting again.

  • Installed graphics card does not support the opengl features recommended

    I've installed FCP6 on my PowerMac (PPC G4 DP 1.25GHz), and when I run it, I get a warning ("...installed graphics card does not support the opengl features recommended...") and the program ends. The graphics card is the ATI Radeon 9000 Pro (64MB)
    I'm looking for a definitive answer regarding my hardware compatibility with FCS2 (specifically, FCP6). I'm NOT looking for an answer along the lines of: your system is too old to run this.
    I've checked the minimum system requirements from the apple website (http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/specs/
    and http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/download/):
    * A Macintosh computer with a 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5, Intel Core Duo, or Intel Xeon processor
    * 1GB of RAM
    * An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)
    * A display with 1024-by-768 resolution or higher
    * Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later
    * QuickTime 7.3 or later
    * DVD drive for installation
    I have all that stuff. What I'd like is to know which component of my system is FCP6 complaining about (vis-a-vis the error message above), alternatively, if someone has had success with a similar configuration, I'd like to know anything they think might help.
    Thanks in advance for any helpful advice you may have.

    The minimum would probably be an nVidia Fx5200 or an ATI 9600...

    Do I need a different graphics card to run final cut?

    No need to worry. You'll be fine with the GPU in your iMac. I've been using a G5 iMac (w/ a second display) since August 2005, and I've had no problems.

  • Compatibility FINAL CUT SUTDIO 2 with my graphic cards ?

    Hi… from France…
    Can Final Cut Studio 2 correctly run with my cards:
    *ATI RADEON 9200* and *ATI RADEON 9600 XT*
    Thank you

    http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/finalcutpro/specs.html
    An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card.
    (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors).
    For your cards:
    http://ati.amd.com/products/mac.html
    The 9200 doesn't appear to be an AGP card, but the 9600 does.
    Confirm it yourself with these links.
    BTW, all I did was google your question.

  • Do I meet Final Cut Express Graphic Card Reqts?

    According to Apple, one needs an AGP or PCI Express Quarts Extreme graphics card for Final Cut Express HD. Does that mean my NVIDIA GeForce 6600 on the G5 and NVIDIA GeForce4 MX on the G4 don't cut it? Am I wasting my money buying Final Cut Express HD?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    I own a G5 with a GeForce nvidia 6600 256 meg VRAM, and FCE hd works very well. I dont know the GeForce 4 MX on your G4, but quartz Extreme run on GeForce2 MX with a minium of 16 meg VRAM:

  • How to run FCP on an iBook without Quartz Extreme?

    Hi, I would like to be able to run FCP 5 on my existing iBook G4 (1.2GHz with 512MB RAM). Soundtrack Pro and DVD Studio should run fine but I believe FCP will not launch without a Quartz Extreme graphics adapter (and I don't have the cash to upgrade to a MacBook Pro!) I have heard there is a hack available to allow FCP 5 to run on lower-spec graphics chips... anyone know where I could find this hack? Are there any associated issues?
    Cheers,
    Tom

    Of the two, target mode would be far more efficient (and less risky -- in terms of software data corruption). I have in the past installed OS X on a machine with a poor DVD drive, so iLife should be no problem.

    That's not the version number. The name of the application is Final Cut Express HD. It's been that since 3. There's 3.0.1 and 3.5. Which of these three versions is it? It should say in the documentation that came with the application. If you have an installation issue you should contact Apple. They give tech support for installation.

    If it was previously working then try a smc and pram reset.
    If that doesn't fix it then see if vlc can handle the video.
