Virus software compatibility with FCP

Are there any issues regarding running an anti virus software whilst running FCP, I have heard differing views, most subscribing that you end up with lots of problems. Currently I'm the only person using a Mac in an office environment where everyone is using a PC. IT won't allow me access to internet/email etc., unless an anti virus software is installed. Any answers ???
thx

You need to talk to your IT people explain how the Mac OS X software operates.
Where capturing and video editing is concerned, I always recommend to turn off and uninstall all background utilities whose purpose is to scan files.
That includes virus software
I'm more conservative on this than Michael, but the problem lies in IT people that lack information.
Ask them to get educated.

  • Anti-virus Software Interfering with LR3

    Just figured I'd post a note concerning at least one LR3 issue of mine being caused by seemingly harmless software running alongside.
    I had been having issues with LR3 when deleting photographs, issues that arose as early as LR3 beta 1.  Sometimes LR3 would randomly hang up, taking up to a minute to delete only 4 or 5 photographs.  Occassionally, it would freeze up and I'd be forced to go into the Task Manager, kill the lightroom.exe process, and restart the application.  My posts about this on the LR3 beta forums yielded no leads.
    Today I started having the problem again with LR3.  While waiting for it to finish deleting, I noticed that the system tray icon for Avast! Antivirus was spinning around (indicating it was 'working').  Out of curiosity I decided to disable Avast! and, all of the sudden, the problem was solved.  Now LR3 just deletes photographs instantly without a single hiccup.  Here I had thought LR3 had this very annoying bug, when it was an incidental lack of compatability with my anti-virus software all along.  Well, I suppose it can still be called a bug... but at least it is a bug that can be remedied without waiting for an LR3 update.
    I don't know if this can help others, but try to disable your anti-virus software in temporary tests to see if performance of LR3 improves.  Antivirus didn't affect LR3s overall performance in my case, but given my discovery it is reasonable to think that other anti-virus softwares could potentially be bogging down LR3 on others machines in different ways.

    I would accept that if not for the fact that lightroom 2 worked perfectly
    in the same setup and catalog.
    I'm going to try selectivly disabling the virus checker on some directories until i find the correct one.
    Best Wishes,

  • What is the Definative answer to JVC HDV 24p compatibility with FCP 5.1

    I spoke with JVC yesterday and they claim that the 24p HDV codec is now supported with FCP. I am shooting a PBS piece in two weeks and wonder if it is safe to shoot in 24p HDV with the JVC HD100u. Is there a current state of the craft answer?

  • JVC Everio GZ-MG630 60GB Camcorder Compatibility with FCP

    I was wanting to get a little cheap & compact camcorder for carrying around and do away with tapes at the same time. Has anyone had any luck with FCP & hard drive camcorders with no tapes specifically the JVC Everio’s?
    I have always been a miniDV user so this is all new…. however I was able to help a friend get his hard drive camcorder setup after having to get a converter online. I am just a little reluctant to invest in a camcorder when I don’t know if it will work or not.
    Thanks for your help all!

    Have you searched this forum for info on these (JVC Everio model) cameras yet? Interesting reading...with some relevent workflows.

    And you're right...it's best to know what you're in for, prior to purchasing.

  • Yosemite compatability with FCP 7

    Will Final Cut Pro 7 work with Yosemite? How about Premiere CS5.5? I have upgraded operating systems in the past and then lost the ability to use the software that I own... sometimes it is completely unsupported by the new operating system and I have lost project files...

    No he won't need to upgrade to FCX. 
    Although FCP 7 isn't FULLY compatible with Yosemite. It's the second OS to be released that's doesn't fully support FCP 7...meaning that it doesn't take it into consideration.  No testing was done, no consideration taken to make sure it works. FCP 7, to Apple, is dead.  Does it work? Yes...people have said it works. FULLY...does it do all it can do at full capacity? No. People have reported minor issues across the spectrum.  So I wouldn't plan on full compatibility.

  • Device software compatibility with server software

    We are currently in a beta mode syncing BlackBerry devices with an Exchange server using BlackBerry Manager 4.1.  One of our users wants to upgrage his device software from v4.3 to v4.5.  We are trying to determine if that will create any compatibility issues with the server software.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    hello,
    I don't think so, but should tjhat happen, you can downgrade back to 4.3.
    I think you will find more detailed answers if you post your question on the "Blackberry Enterprise Solution" board.

  • QuickTime compatibility with FCP 4.5

    Are there any other people out there using FCP 4.5 on OS 10.3.9 successfully with a version of QuickTime later than 6.5.2? I haven't dared upgrade QuickTime since all kinds of things went wrong and I hade to downgrade QuickTime at great trouble. But perhaps more recent versions have solved these problems. Anyone know?

    This is not true. You can run QT 7 with OSX 10.3.9 - HOWEVER - it really is a good idea to keep families of software together.
    This means osx 10.3.9/FCP 4.5/Qt 6.5.2
    or
    osx 10.4.9/FCP5.1.2/QT 7.x (whichever is current)
    good luck.

  • Avid Mbox Pro 3 Compatable with FCP?

    I am attemping to use my Mbox Pro 3 to do voice over in both Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro 3 but can not seem to get any audio into the application.
    I have the core driver software and the MBox Driver installed on My MacPro  and the Mbox Pro is selected under system Preferences as the input device.  It shows that I am getting a sound level coming from my Mbox Pro into the computer as I can see the input level register in the sound preferences input window when I speak into my mic.  For output, I currently have Headphones selected but I tried everthing at one time to see if I could get signal into FCP or STP.
    When in FCP and with the voice over box open, it shows Mbox Pro as the source and input, yet I can get no signal level on the input level.
    When in STP under preferences recording- input- I have the Mbox Pro selected.
    I have track number 1 armed and ready to record and on the track- Mbox pro is selected.
    Under the recording pane for track 1, the mbox pro is selected as the input device.
    Everthing looks like it should work yet no audio signal on either level indicator in FCP 7 or STP 3.
    Am I simply missing some key step or is the Mbox 3 Pro not compatible with FCS
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions or info.

    Thanks for the suggestions Cristina.  I finally got it to work and I'm not sure what the issue was.  I was running a Rode NT2-A through a UA Solo 6-10 pre amp and then into Line input channel 3 of the Mbox Pro 3.  For some reason, I could not get FCP or STP to see the signal coming out of the mbox into my Mac Pro.  Out of desperation, I bypassed my UA preamp and ran my Rode directly into Mic channel 1 on the Mbox Pro and now the signal is comming into STP and FCP
    Just to be sure, I switched it back and ran my mic into the UA pre amp first and then into input 3 of the Mbox PRo and again no signal registered in FCP or STP.
    No clue why it won't see the signal if I'm running my mic through an external preamp first but at least I know I can get it to work with the Mbox 3's preamps although they are not as good as the UA.

  • Adobe software - compatibility with intel Macs

    I've just bought a new iMac and hoped to be able to run my elderly Adobe software (InDesign 2 & Photoshop 7). I have enabled Rosetta but when trying to install both programs (from the original discs) it made reference to Classic (which I thought was only used to run programs that were native to OS 9). Needless to say, Photoshop did install but crashes every time I launch while InDesign fails to install at all. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any way around it? Or do I have to buy new Adobe software. PS: I have successfully installed and are using, Microsoft Office from 2003.

    I am coming from the PC land, I puchased a IMAC QUAD 7 with lots 8 gigs of memory. I tried to install photoshop essentials I think 6 for the Mac it came with a new touchpad. It would not work it crashed immediatly. I installed Photoshop c4 extended, trial version for the Mac it works just fine its problem unlike extended for PC is not 64 bit It only sees 4 of the 8 gigs of memory. It works justfine. It can not open as many pictures at same time but I can only work n one at a time. I am also running Windows 7 64 bit with fusin ware 3. Windows works quiet well. You may be able to run your older photoshop( I believe they came with both Windows and Apple versions) Inside of your apple, fusion and say windows xp are less than photoshop. Just a thought.

  • Software compatibility with VISTA

    I have tried following the directions online by installing the 4.2.1 desktop software. After I connect, I am still receiving an error box that is titled Intellisync and it says Internal Error. I have tried to uninstall and install multiple versions of the software and I can't get it to work. Is anyone else having this problem.

    Unfortunately, the Touchpad doesn't even appear in the device manager. It's just not recognised at all. There's not even an unknown device in there or any devices with errors.
    I've tried going to the Toshiba European driver page and have downloaded and installed both drivers. Still no joy. It remains persistantly invisible in the device manager. The Synaptics driver even says during install that it cannot work if the touchpad itself isn't recognised by the OS.
    The laptop has been re-booted and the BIOS re-checked for the touchpad being enabled so much it must be getting a persecution complex :-P

    You are worrying about this way too much, simply connect the iMac using the supplied USB cable that comes with the UPS. Then check the Energy Saver settings in System Preferences and you will see the UPS and be able to control it.

  • Softwares compatibility with Mac 0S

    I have .lwp and .123 files from an old IBM Thinkpad and now i am on Mac OS X, so i can not read them.
    Do you have a solution ?
    Thank you

    .123 is probably from Lotus 123.    If you can get a copy of Maclinkplus (no longer made), it may convert those to Excel or iWork's Sheets.    You'll probably need also to install it on Lion, if your MacBook Pro is older than October 24, 2013, or Snow Leopard Server using this tip:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6841
    Seeing as http://www.roaringapps.com/ says that Maclinkplus 16 is incompatible with Mountain Lion and up.
