What earliest version of FCP will handle XDCAM EX?

A client is wanting to work with footage I've just shot ... the footage is XDCAM EX ... the client has FCP 6.06. I have whatever the latest FCP is so I don't know if ver. 6.06 will handle the XDCAM-EX. If it does I can just send him the .mov files burned to DVD and he's on his way.
If the ver. 6.06 doesn't handle the XDCAM-EX I'm wondering what might be the best codec to convert everything to before sending it? What codec his 6.06 could cut comfortably (as close to XDCAM as possible)?
All ears,
Ben

Just FYI:
Support for XDCAM EX CBR codecs was inherent in FCP since version 5 and augmented in releases 5.1.2 and 5.1.4 (basically we're talking about the Apple HDV codec bundle here).
Support for XDCAM EX VBR codecs was introduced in FCP 6.0.2
Regarding import methods, you can use the free Sony XDCAM EX Log and Transfer plugin for FCP to allow you to use FCP's built in tapeless media ingest system ... but that is (apparently) flawed as it doesn't allow you to really do anything with FCP whilst it is doing its thing, you have to mark up your clips in L&T, set them to import, and then walk away till its done ... to my mind, that blows much of the advantage of a tapeless workflow out the water. Instead you can use the free Sony XDCAM Transfer application. This allows you to log and transfer your clips to FCP in it's standalone interface ... you can mark up a clip or clips, press import, and those clips are then imported in the background whilst you continue to work in XDCAM Transfer and/or edit in FCP without issue. Or there is a newer tool from Sony called XDCAM Browser (aka XDB) - this is not Sony's EX Clip Browser app, thats a different app meant for managing you original EX footage (good for making verified copies of your camera originals) but its not for making QT files. XDB is Sony's new unified app approach, combining the functions of Clip Browser and XDCAM Transfer in a single app, but presently does not allow for background importing whilst continuing to work in the app itself (ie its modal, but you can still work in FCP tho as thats a separate app). I'd personally tend to continue to recommend using XDCAM Transfer 2.12 for best functionality at this time, or the Log and Transfer plugin if you don't mind the current limitations inherent in FCP's Log and Transfer interface
Hope it helps

What earlier version of FCP will work with the intel-3processor?

what earlier version of FCP will work with the intel-3 processor?

The version of the CR designer that the reports were created in is really not that important. Though more on that below. What you need is Crystal Reports XI R2A (11.5.x). That is the last version of CR to ship the Report Designer Component (RDC) that you are presumably using at this time. Note that this version is out of support thus no fixes, no phone support, though we welcome your queries on these forums. To obtain CR XI R2A you will have to contact sales; 866-681-3435. Do not get CR 2008 (12.x) as this version does not ship the RDC and only has the SDK for .NET and Java.
Re. version of the reports. While the version of the designer the reports were created in should not be that important, the older the designer, the more potential problems you may run into. Updating the reports to CR XI R2A is highly advised. You can do this manually by simply opening the reports in the designer and saving them - making sure they still run once that is done. Alternatively, you can do this in code by simply using the .SaveAs method, or exporting to rpt file format. This may not however update the database connectivity correctly (the database engine was completely rewritten in CR 9) and testing will be needed to make sure these reports still work. This is particularly true of your version 8 reports. Version 9 reports and later should be OK.

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.

Going to Tiger what version of FCP will work best?

I am thinking of finally doing the transision - I have FCP 4.5 HD (and all associated stuff LiveType etc) and DVD SP 2...will these work fine - do I need to upgrade any thing?
Thanks

I may be going WAAAY out on a limb here, but I've seen on this board a lot of issues with 4.5 and tiger-- it's not so much Tiger as QT7 that seems to be a problem with 4.5. i'd do a search. Don't forget that tiger and fcp5 and PROBABLY QT7 are optimized for 64 bit processing and 4.5 is NOT.

What's the earliest version of iTunes to include the playnext and add to play next feature when right clicking a song?

What's the earliest version of iTunes to include the play next and add to play next feature when right clicking a song?

I started out with version 11 and loved it right up to the latest update.
I'm beyond my partying days so DJ has nothing for me but I realy loved the drop down with "what's next", the "play next" and the "add to play next" feature and best of all "SHOW DUPLICATES".
I have an eclectic taste in music and a very extensive music collection to go with it. The "show duplicates" feature allowed me to shrink my library by well ove 1,000 songs and eliminated hearing the same song several times when playing randomly. ie, I have the complete Rolling Stones collection and was able to get rid of no fewer than 7 coppies of "Satisfaction".
With all the duplicates lined up you can sample each one and avoid deleting different versions also.
I'm eagerly waitng for the next update to see if my problems with 11 will be fixed. The current update drops out sections of songs (Whipping Post by the Alman Bros. was over in 3 minutes) and I tried repairing and a complete uninstall, reinstall to no avail.

What iPhoto version is compatible with Lion OSX 10.7.5 and will it let me make photo calendars?

What iPhoto version is compatible with Lion OSX 10.7.5 and will it let me make photo calendars?
I have just upgraded from Leopard to Lion (via Snow Leopard) because I could no longer order photo calendars with iphoto 7.1.5. However, I still have iphoto 7.1.5 and need to upgrade this. From the App store it looks as though I cannot get iphoto 9.5.1 due to the incompatibility with Lion. I was recemmended not to upgrade beyond Lion due to the age of my iMac computer (2008 version) by Stormfront staff.
What is the best iphoto to upgrade to and how do I do this e.g. iLife '09 or '11, or are there any other 'stand-alone' versions of iphoto that would be compatible? How do I know whether my computer is capable of upgrading to Mountain Lion? I definitely want to be able to make photo calendars, books and cards.
Thanks

iPhoto '09 or '11 - purchase an iLife '09 or '11 DVD (amazon or eBay are potential sources) and install iPhoto and update to the latest version for your OS

Adobe currently supports Acrobat X and Acrobat XI for Mac and Windows platforms. More details about base system requirements can be found here: Tech specs | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and the changes to these requirements with the product updates can be found here : Overview — Acrobat and Adobe Reader Release Notes. So the earliest version would be Acrobat X and the Latest would be Acrobat XI.
Please let us know if that answers your query.

What is the earliest version of Acrobat that supports navigation buttons?
I can set the export of InDesign to match this version?
For example, if I am on InDesign CS5 or 6, what export do your recommend.

Ask in the Acro/ ID forums. Navigation requires PDF level 1.6 or 1.7, if I'm not mistaken, but beyond that I have no idea.

What's the best way to handle new versions of software?

So we have an Application setup for Adobe Reader (just using Reader as a general example) which is part of our Task Sequence. When Adobe releases a new version of Reader, what's the best way to handle getting the new version into our SCCM setup.
I know I can create a new application and do it all over and select the new file, but can I simply replace the files that the application is pointing to and then somehow tell it to update the DPs with the new files? I'd rather not have to create new
applications every time if I don't have to.
Thanks.

I think continue the way you are doing right now by creating a new application each time there is a version change. Its a clean way to do and this helps with Application life cycle mgmt aswell where you keep track of versions across the environments and
eventually retire an application. Specially where no changes are made without a change control. This is completely process specific and may not be applicable.
i do agree with above posted comments about using supercedence option.
However most of the apps comes with upgrade capabilities from previous versions. So you can upgrade existing version with new one if you do not wish to use supercedence.
Thanks
