TS2521 Is FCP 7 compatible with 10.8 OS?

What kind of trouble has anyone encounter with FCP 7 after update to Mt. Lion? Are there any Apple patches? (have found none)

Apple stopped developing fcp7 a few years ago, well before Mt Lion was released so don't expect any updates from Apple.  As far as problems go, I've had it installed for about a month without any issues.  Do some searching here for other peoples experiences.  FCP is an extremely complex program so problems that people have may or may not have anything to do with Mountain Lion. 
To avoid any potential problems, it's always a good idea to follow accepted best practices
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2861
And it's always a good idea to have a clone of your startup drive before any major upgrades so you can return your system to it's working state.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2494
If you've got a macpro tower, you can have multiple drives installed internally so having multiple OS startup options can be a good idea.  If you're working with a mac that doesn't allow multiple internal drives, you can always partition your internal drive and have mutliple startup options.

  • FCP compatible with FC Express???

    I edited a video I need to transfer to a friends Mac and he only has FCE. IS there any way for me to save my FCP file to work on Express?
    Thanks,
    cja

    There are several versions of XML export from FCP. Why don't you find out which (if any) version FCE imports?
    Once you know which version: Menu bar>File>Export>XML>select the version.

  • Is the latest version of FCP studio compatible with Radeon X1600 graphics..

    I read under the requirements that the latest version of FCP studio is not compatible with "integrated graphics cards"... what does that mean to me with an iMac that has a Radeon X1600 with 128MB and a bus type PCIe? Will it work?
    Thanks!

    Final Cut Studio 2 (with FCP 6) runs just fine on my 2.0 GHz 20" iMac CD, which has a 128 MB ATI Radeon X1600 with an external display (1280x1024) connected via DVI.

    Where can I find a list of Camcorders compatible with FCP X?

    I'll modify that first word!

    However, be aware that Apple has neither the time nor the incentive to test every camera on the market, so there will be many more models, old and new, that will work perfectly even though they are not on the database.

  • What is the earliest version of FCPS that will be compatible with the i-3 processor

    What is the earliest version of FCPS that will be compatible with the i-3 processor? I am looking for a used version and doesn't matter which one.

    FCP 5.1 was the first version compatible with Intel processor Macs.  After that came version 6 and the current version is 7.

  • Are the fcp lpugins compatible with fce?

    I am running the original FCE 1.0 Can't exactly afford to keep upgrading. (didn't use it when I got my new computer, now I am starting to)
    if i download these free filters and transitions, are they compatible with both FCP and FCE and what versions.
    I don't see anything on the sites saying anything about compatability.
    Thanks alot,
    Jason

    Normally FCE and FCP transitions and filters are interchangeable as the two programs are virtually identical.
    If you click on the hotlink below you will get access to over a hundred FREE Filters etc. :-

  • Is Mt. Lion (10.8) OS compatible with FCP 7 and other FCP Studio 3 apps?

    I am currently running Lion (10.7.5) on a 27" iMac 3.4 Ghz.
    Is Mt. Lion compatible with Final Cut Pro 7 and FCS 3 studio apps like Compressor 3.5, Color and DVDSP4? Will these programs still run or will they be not supported by the new OS as has been the case with past apps when a new OS is introduced?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    Greetings Phil;
    Glad to hear that the transition has gone well and that you're enjoying the new OS features!  I have FCP X on all of the machines in my edit bay, but at this point I work exclusively with Final Cut Studio. 
    When FCP X was launched, in it's initial form it simple didn't work with the my workflow and the amount of work that I have to deal with on a daily basis.  Also there was(for me a least) a BIG learning curve in order to make the transitiion.  It was time that I didn't have...and still don't!  Also I'm sort of an "old dog" in this game and learning the new system hasn't been a priority for me. 
    I would encourage you to move forward with it.  I know that Apple has made huge improvements in the software since it's initial release. 
    I wish you the best in you work...

  • Is nVidia GeForce4 compatible with FCP 5?

    Hi, I have a Quicksilver G4 (dual 1 Ghz) with a 64 Mb nVidia GeForce4. That's all the "About this Mac" tells me for the AGP slot. I'm not sure if it's a MX, and if so, whether it's the 420, 440, or 460.
    I am wondering whether it is compatible with either FCP 5, or FC Express. I'll be editing standard-definition video only. The Apple site only says that it must be compatible with "Quartz Extreme."
    If it is compatible, are there FCP processes which would benefit from upgrading it to an nVidia 6600 or 7800, or ATI Radeon 9800? I won't be doing any 3D gaming, only video-editing to the 23" LCD.
    Thanks for your kind advice!

    " FCP offloads out work for the graphics card to do (eg rendering etc)"
    This is completely incorrect
    FCP does not use GPU (graphics processor) acceleration, it uses CPU processing only
    Motion in comparison does use GPU acceleration:
    http://www.apple.com/uk/finalcutstudio/motion/
    The only way to get better performance from FCP is to use a better processor than the one you are using.
    I replaced the elementary OEM graphics card supplied with the G5 with an Nvidia 6800 card. There is no difference in any respect when using final cut pro between the two cards.
    It works great with motion however.

  • Are these cameras compatible with FCP?

    Does anyone out there know if any of these cameras is compatible with Final Cut Pro 5/6? It's not listed on the compatibility list, but I have a hard time believing Sony or Panasonic would make any camcorders that are not compatible with FCP these days. I just want to make sure however, before I buy.

    The qualifying devices list is not a good standard to judge by. There are many "devices" that work fine and aren't listed, and conversely, devices that are listed but may not function if the user is also using a certain third-party device; for example, certain listed Canons may indeed work well with FCS2, but attach an external drive to the same FireWire bus and it all goes fubar.

  • Video recorded in QT Pro-compatible with FCP?

    Is a video recorded in QT Pro compatible with FCP?
    I was getting errors earlier today importing QT video clips recorded in QT Pro.
    FCP said "unknown file type" and wouldn't import it.
    I tried different decks, different footage, all to no avail.
    Drag and drop, file>Import, neither worked.
    I never tried this before and was surprised.
    It's not that it needed rendering, it just wouldn't import.
    QT was set to use the native format of the recording device.
    FCP was set to DV NTSC easy set up.
    OS 10.4.7, QT 7.1.2, FCP 5.0.4.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Now this is strange.
    I just downloaded Live Capture Plus to try it out.
    It captures the same tape from the same deck with the same settings as I tried in QT.
    Imports perfectly into FCP 5.1.1 No problems whatsoever.
    Both clips have identical settings in the info pane of QT Pro:
    DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
    16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
    29.97
    640 x 480 pixels
    Yet the QT clip will not import into FCP with an "unknown file" error.
    Why?
    Thanks

    G5 dual 2 gig   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  
    G5 dual 2 gig   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    The files open fine in QT player.
    640 X 480 was the QT captured frame size, 29.97 fps, and it was captured as "device native" in QT preferences. The source tapes where mini DV/NTSC so its frame size should be 720 X 480.
    If this frame size is the problem, why is QT pro recording a 640 X 480 image when the original is 720 X 480? Also, can't FCP handle a 640 X 480 QT video size anyway?
    I tried different tapes with different decks and kept coming up with the "file not recognized" error when trying to import into FCP.
    Thanks for your help,

  • Cameras compatible with FCP

    Hello everyone. I'm curious to find out if there is a list that apple or FCP puts out that has all the cameras that are compatible with FCP and if it stays current. About a month ago I was at the beach and my home video camera was left unattended, and was drowned by a huge wave. Luckily I didn't take my Sony FX1. (Which is what I originally was going to do) Anyhow, I'm going to go and buy my wife another camera in the $700.00 to $1,000 dollar range and I want to make sure that whatever camera I purchase I can download the footage in FCP 6. Thanks
    Erv

    Indeed.
    As a filthy Englishman, I do not celebrate this holiday.
    But all the best to you and yours anyway.

  • FCP X Compatible With FC Server?

    I understand FC Server is being discontinued, as some of the functionality is now handled in FCP X. That said, will documents created in FCP X be compatible with FC Server (meaning my company's recent investment in Server isn't out the window once we upgrade to X)?

  • Video screen Capturing compatible with FCP!!!

    Hello,
    I recently captured a lot of footage using Snapz Pro X to create a tutorial for a website. After importing it into FCP, it wants to render everything, all the time, for every small change. These render take hours and hours for the smallest change. What should I do? The Snapz Pro X quicktime files are not FCP compatible. Is there a new program to get high quality video screen captures or a way to convert the files I have now? Any help would be extremely great.
    Thanks
    Erik

    In iShowU I am recording at 1440x1080 30p, and capture area is same as video. Then I am importing the quicktime files into FCP. The sequence settings are Apple ProRes 422 1440x1080 60i. Capture Preset is HDV -Apple ProRes 422. The sequence settings are Frame Size 1440x1080 as well as aspect ratio. Something somewhere is off and its driving me mad. haha
    Thanks

  • Video cameras compatibles with iMovie6 or FCP 5 ???

    Please: which is the link which gives the list of the video cameras
    compatible with iMovie6 and CPF 5 ???
    thank you for the answer.

    Apple's original compatible camcorders page was never kept properly up-to-date, as Apple just couldn't test every single camcorder which was produced.
    So now Apple just refers people to the camcorder makers' own pages ..in that link (above) posted by Kirk.

  • FC Studio 2 compatible with Snow Leopard?

    H there,
    I am in the process of buying a new computer, upgrading from a G4. I use Final Cot Studio 2 (with FCP6) and wonder, if this is compatible with snow leopard. I tired to find an answer on this, but a lot of people seemed to have problems when they install snow leopard. In my case, it would be installing Final Cut from the CD's and them upgrading to the latest version. Ideally, I would like to wait and not buy FCP7 yet. Can anyone advice me on the compatibility?
    Many thanks,
    Anita

    From what I've read, it is important to install FCP 6 and all updates from the original install discs over a clean install of SL.
    Problems seem to arise with upgrade installs.
    Hope this helps.
