Running FCP 4.5 on Mac Book Pro?

I have FCP 4.5 (Studio-Academic) running on a PBG4. I just bought a Mac Book Pro and want to install FCP. Will it run? Or can I get an upgrade to FCP 6? I need to be able to ingest from a Sony SxS Card into FCP. Thanks.

Gotta upgrade for two reasons.
1) FCP 4.5 was designed for PowerPC Macs...it won't run on the Intel computers. The first version that did was FCP 5.1
2) Footage shot with a Sony EX1 on SxS cards requires FCP 6. That camera and codec came out many years after FCP 4.5 was released. FCP will not work with that format.

  • Will boot camp run windows XP on a Mac book pro retina

    Will boot camp run windows XP on a Mac book pro retina

    No. The newest Mac OS X version capable of setting up Windows XP or Vista in Boot Camp is 10.6.8, which is too old for that Mac model.
    You may be able to use it inside a product such as VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, or VMware Fusion.

  • General Error Issue: FCP 7 on my Mac Book Pro 10.6.8 2.53 GHZ 4GB

    I'm working on a lengthy project, multiple timelines. Out of nowhere I started getting a "General Error" message on playback in a specific area of the timeline. I trash preferences, trash render preferences (making the timeline now red), and now the "General Error" pops up everywhere on the timeline on playback and render.
    After trying everything I could think of:
    1. resetting scratch disks
    2. trashing preferences
    3. trashing render preferences
    4. repairing hard drives
    5. Converting to earlier saved versions of the project.
    6. Re installing FCP
    7. Finally, I tried creating a new project and dropping the original media in and recutting (matching timecode) and even this popped up the general error.
    I'm cutting converted RED one footage and 16mm footage converted to quicktime files. I am only using about 1/2 of the harddrive space on my comp, and the scratch disks are currently set to a 2TB external G Drive with 500GB left.
    This project has existed for over 9months that I've been tinkering with it and all of a sudden this issue appears. I find it strange.
    I wasn't super organized in setting up the project (my first large film and first film ever on fcp), and the scratch disks have moved around a lot, etc. But, I've never moved the original clips, and it doesn't seem to be an issue of relinking the clips either. They don't seem to be offline at all.
    The format of is super wide 2240 x 960 on the red footage and super square for the 16mm footage (I think 4x3)
    Let me know if you have ANY thoughts/ideas/help or if you need additional info.

  • Mac Book Pro running motion

    Anybody running motion on a new Mac Book Pro? How do you like it? Is it worth upgrading from my Imac?

    I love it and have no problems in using Motion on an MBP. You will need the Universal version of FCP Suite (with Motion) so be sure to budget for the upgrade or cross-grade.
    I put the MBP to the test last week and was impressed with the results. We had to render 40 individual 3D animation clips user Poser over a 1 week period. Some of these renders, then the export into QuickTime, took as long as 20 hours to complete. The MBP allocated 1 CPU to Poser for this task.
    At the same time, I was working in Motion, Final Cut Pro, and Cleaner, as well as having Safari and Mail open for about 16 hours of each day. I had to create numerous motion clips, bring them into FC, render clips in FC, then export as a movie...then have Cleaner create WindowsMedia and QuickTime clips for the web. Also used Mimic and GraphicConverter through each day.
    I did not have any problems during the week. The MBP was on virtually 24/7 of the week processing clips. I was very pleased with the results. Most importantly, I was very pleased with the MBP's performance.

  • Will i be able to run windows 7 on mac book pro 15inch with retina display?

    In addition to installing Windows in Boot Camp so that it will run instead of Mac OS X, you can also install Windows as a Virtual Machine so that Windows and the Mac OS can run at the same time. To use a Virtual Machine, you'd need software such as VMware Fusion, Parallels, or Virtual Box.
    Note, however, that you may have some difficulty finding Windows 7 for sale. You may be stuck with Windows 8.1.

  • Will Windows XP OEM edition install on Mac Book Pro?

    I have done a forum search, but the answer is not clear to me. Seems to be conflicting info in other threads.
    I need to run Windows on a new Mac Book Pro. My account rep at CDW said it was OK to sell me the OEM edition of Windows XP Home Edition w/SP2 as long as I was buying some other non-Microsoft hardware (which I was). So I did.
    Now the package has arrived and I read the Microsoft label/license, I'm afraid to break the seal and open it in case it won't install properly.
    Can anyone confirm the OEM edition will install properly, just like the retail? Price is not the issue. Should I return it and buy the full retail version?

    Hi Craig!
    Simply put, OEM is just a form of a license but you should pay attention to what that license means.
    Anything that is OEM is licensed to be used only with the "hardware" you purchased. That's why your CDW rep sold you something else. It may have been a token piece of hardware such as an Ethernet cable or electrical cord. IMHO, what he did was unethical but it's not illegal because they are technically following the rules of their reseller license. Many resellers do this with their customers unfortunately.
    When you buy a new computer with Windows then that Windows license is OEM. That means its legal only for that computer. You are not allowed to transfer that copy of Windows to another computer or to a virtual machine. The hardware manufacturer (Dell, HP, etc.) is responsible for supporting you, not Microsoft. I would guess that technically CDW is now responsible for supporting your Windows installation. Do you think that will happen?
    This document about OEM from Microsoft's website is fairly simply to understand <http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/e/3/4e3eace0-4c6d-4123-9d0c-c80436181 742/OSLicQA.doc>.
    My advice is that you purchase a full shrink-wrapped Windows package and use that instead. You'll be paying more for it but you'll have the "legal" freedom to transfer it to any other machine once you're done using it on your current machine. I personally have no experience to tell you how OEM software will react if you try to move it to another system and activate it there.
    Hope this helps!

  • My Mac Book Pro using Mountain Lion goes to sleep unwontedly.

    I am running long calculations on my Mac Book Pro and it keeps going to sleep after a few minutes. I have reset the energy saver to never, but it didn't change anything. I have gone into the security panel and reset the time to 5 hours, but that doesn't work either, what do I do?

    Hi Illaass,
    I am using version 3. I have used the apple/settings on my mac. The headset is appearing there and it is selected there. In the Rosetta Stone select/find window nothing shows up. It is blank. But the volume bars react when I speak and sliding the fader has the expected effect of raising and lowering the input. There is just no device showing up as the selected input device in the Rosetta Stone software.
    I have done everything my Mac instructions say to uninstall and reinstall the Rosetta Stone software properly.
    I'm guessing the problem may be in the licensing. I installed it first on the old hard drive that crashed. Maybe that used the terms of the license and now installing it in the new hard drive violates the license somehow. So that's why it will not work properly. It allows me to open the lessons and asks me if I want to continue from where I left off. I click continue. Then it asks me if I want to register the software. I click the tab for already registered software and click continue. Then nothing happens. So again I click on the button that indicates I want to continue lessons from where I left off. The same process happens with it asking me if I want to register the software. And it will not proceed through a lesson.

  • How to configure mac book pro with Logic 9?

    I would like to run Logic 9 on a Mac Book Pro (13", 2.9 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 750 GB HD) as a secondary development platform  (for composing while away from my primary system), and do it on the cheap. So I would like to do this without having to buy an audio interface or sound card. I need to do only the following: 
    1. Direct Logic output (both software instrument tracks and audio tracks) to the audio-out jack (NOT built-in speakers), and
    2. Record with a USB (or firewire) microphone to an audio track on the same project which is playing software instruments and possibly other audio tracks thru the audio-out jack.
    Is it possible to configure mac/logic this way without an additional interface?
    Thanks.

    1) When you plug speakers into the audio out jack, all audio is automatically routed from the internal speakers to the Audio Out jack...
    2) Most USB mics are class compliant and so you just plug them in and they work in Logic without any config in Logic needed.
    So, to answer you question, for your needs, you don't need an audio interface.

  • BT Infinty, Xbox 360 and a Mac book pro! Slooooooo...

    Hi all,
    Iv just switched from talk-talk where I was receiving around 2 mbps. I was delighted when I ran the speedtest.net and saw 37mbps with BT infinity!!
    However! Everything seems so much slower with it, web pages take ages before even loading! Im running Firefox on a 2011 Mac book pro.
    And to make things worse, im now experiencing serious lag on COD on the Xbox as well as the whole thing just disconeccting(NAT setting show as open).
    Highly fustrating and it just dosent make sense! Could it be BTs router?? Im running everything wirelessly.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Sudadipps,
    I would try the Xbox on a wired connection and see if that makes a difference, also try and check your NAT settings on the xbox.  Best option for NAT is open, if its anything but that the its a router issue and some configurations need to be amended.
    Remember that using multiple wireless signals halves the data received via wifi.
    Example
    Wifi N signal can receive upto 300 mbps
    if you have say 5 devices using wifi to the router than you would do (300/5=60)
    Which means each device gets a max connection data rate to the router of 60 mbps.
    Also to factor in is Floors/Walls/Other wifi devices (E.g. DECT Phones) can also reduce that wifi data rate down futher

  • Increasingly FCP runs to 104 degrees C when operating. This can damage MAC BOOK PRO RETINA components, shortening their life-span.

    Increasingly FCP runs to 104 degrees C when operating. This can damage MAC BOOK PRO RETINA components, shortening their life-span.
    Can you suggest what I should do apart from shutting down word documents and other software, Parallels, Windows 7 when using FCP?
    I am gravely concerned with this high heat. I have to use a remote keyboard it is so hot, but gravely concerned with with the damage the heat is doing to to MAC BOOK PRO RETINA.
    ironic - given I switched to Mac from PC this year JUST for  FCP editing.
    BTW - I am a film lecturer advising thousands of K-12 teachers and a have a report to deliver to the Education Department shortly.
    Please advise. Many thanks. Schbang

    You didn't mention what sort of work you're doing - if you're just cutting video this shouldn't happen.
    My suggestion would be to optimize all of your media to ProRes .
    Even though PR is a much larger file it's much easier on the CPU. Playing back compressed media is like rendering all day.
    I routinely use an old 2007 MBP with a core 2 duo and FCP7. I can cut and color correct with no problem at all using ProRes LT files. The only time it gets hot is during long renders.
    I have the laptop elevated on a pedestal that allows air to pass underneath . During long renders I  point a small fan at it which often cools it enough to shut the internal fans down.
    All that said, I know the retina is a more compact design and components are much closer to each other.
    So, I'd be interested to hear from another retina owner.
    Good luck.

  • Is mac book pro good enough to run final cut and after effects?

    is mac book pro good enough to run final cut and after effects?

    Yes it is. I have two at my office working fine.
    Just note. FCP has already delivered the universal binary so you won;t have any trouble. For After Effects, Adobe has not released the binary yet so the worst that will happen is that you might have a little delay opening the application. We are a professional media organization and we can rely on our intel based macs. Don't worry.

  • Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all??  Looks like I can set it for one but not others.  All, one, or nothing

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.
