Which version of Final Cut Pro will work with Mac Book 10.75?

I can not put Final Cut Pro 9 on my Mac Book 10.75 (Lion).
Which version of Final Cut Pro will run on Mac Book 10.75 (Lion).
Thanks

Ok, first, your questions's answers:
FCS1 had a full version & an upgrade from any version of FCP. You only need the serial # handy when installing FCS upgrade.
Now FCS2 has TWO upgrade versions: one was for FCS1 ($499), the other was from any version of FCP ($699).
NOTE: Academic and Not-For-Resale (NFR) versions are not eligible for upgrade.

Here's something else to consider: with the march away from the PPC as a whole & your upgrade cost to FCS3 is $299, I would be very careful how much you spend for the older copies.
If FCS1 or 2 is too hard to come by or cost what it did originally (or more), you may want to consider picking up a (used or new) Intel Mac with ATI or Nvidia graphics. even the newest mini might surpise you & get you by until you can afford something else.
Good luck!

  • Will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

    will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

    Thanks Tom.
    So I will need  upgrade to FCP 7 first, then convert to an XML file in 6.0.6, then convert to another file that FCP X can read? I have a lot of half done projects that need finishing. Is this process very complex and time consuming?
    Maybe I should be approaching this from a different angle. The reason I am asking is that I now need to upgrade to a new Mac book pro and have been told that I cant run final cut pro 6.0.6 on the new models using maverick. Is this true?

  • Will Final Cut Pro X work with Yosemite

    Will Final Cut Pro X work with Yosemite?

    me too version 10.8. It would have been nice to know yosemite was going to crap out my primary video editing software! I use this for my video editing for my business video production and it would have been nice to know ahead of time or here's a crazy idea how about the software developers who are making millions off final cut pro sales release a fix BEFORE apple roles out yosemite for free. I don't have time to chase down every blog in the world to see issues etc. The reason I bought a mac is I just need it to work so I can work on my business.

  • Which versions of Final Cut Pro support HD video?

    Which versions of Final Cut Pro support HD video? (Other than 6)

    Uncompressed HD...that can be done with FCP 4.5 or higher. But as said, you need a capture card, no matter what version you use.
    DVCPRO HD support started in FCP 4.5. P2 DVCPRO HD support started with 5.0.4. HDV support started with FCP 5.0, and is much better in FCP 5.1. XDCAM started in FCP 5.0, better in 5.1. AVCHD requires 5.1, and AVCIntra requires FCP 6.

  • Hi friends! which version of Final Cut Pro/Studio i can install for Mac OS X 10.4.11?

    Hi friends! which version of Final Cut Pro/Studio i can install for Mac OS X 10.4.11?

    FCP 5.1, which is part of the first Final Cut Studio package and FCP 6 (part of FCS 2) are both compatible with that OS (IIRC).

  • Is Final Cut Pro 3 compatible with MAC OS 10.4?

    Is Final Cut Pro 3 compatible with MAC OS 10.4?
    867x2 Mirror Door G4   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    re:FCP3
    Some people purchase FCP3 and then the upgrade to FCP5. It is less expensive than purchasing FCP5 as a new install. You may be able to find a copy of FCP4.5HD out there as well for a low price.
    That being said, while some use FCP3 (or FCP4.5) with 10.4, 10.4.x and QT7.x. will be happiest with FCP5.
    re: burning.
    Once the file is exported as a quicktime DV file, iMovie does not care about the origin. It should work just fine. DVDSP gives you much more control and greater flexability in setting up menus, looks, operation etc, but is not required.
    Good luck.

  • Final cut pro not working with Yosemite

    I yesterday installed Yosemite and the previous version of Final Cut Pro does not work with it.  When I try to install the latest version of Final Cut Pro from the purchased tab in the app store, I get the message:  "Final Cut can't be installed on this computer because it requires at least 4 GB of memory".  When I go to the storage tab in "About This Mac", it shows that I have 154.49 GB free of 319.21 GB.  Can someone help?  Many thanks. 

    It's a 2007 iMac with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.  I had been using Final Cut Pro without any problems right until I upgraded to Yosemite.  I'm hoping that upgrading to Yosemite doesn't mean I can't continue using Final Cut Pro - that would be extremely frustrating. 

  • Will Final Cut Pro X work with mavericks

    Was thinking about upgrading to Mavericks on my Mac Book Pro Retina but wanted to know, 1) will it use a lot more storage and 2) will it work with Final Cut Pro X?

    When I was running the supposed GM of Mavericks just before it was released, FCPX wouldn't let me import ANYthing into it. When the import window would open it wouldn't let me choose anything. FCPX became useless and I would have to force quit it. So, I'm a little hesitant to upgrade to it today.

  • Does final cut pro x work on mac mini i5 2.3GHz

    Hey everyone I'm a Mac newbie and i just bought this mac mini of course the cheapest one and now im wondering if i would be able to run final cut pro x on it        if i install 16gb of ram someone please help me out if not i may just return it thanks in advance

    short answer: it will
    long answer; FCPX does perform well (for my needs), on my less-powerful MacMini C2D/2.26 with 8GB. so, the i5 plus its newer graphic card plus your 16GBs will 'fly'. you can improve performance even more with additional, external harddrives, to keep projects, events and system/app on physical diff. drives.
    It's a kind of 'religious war' here on this board btw, the real professionals ("…only and just only  fw800 RAIDS work!"), and hobbyists like Ian and me ("my ol' usb drives support 6-angle-multicam too!") what kind of drives you should use ... finally, size-of-wallet decides

  • Can I have two versions of Final Cut Pro installed on my Mac

    It is posible to have Final Cut Pro 7 & FCP X installed on my Mac Pro.. currently I'm using FCP 7,

    Yes.
    Final Cut Pro 7 and the other FCS apps will be moved to a subfolder in your Applications directory.

  • Does Final Cut Pro 7 work with Mavericks?

    The title says it all, I'm afraid to upgrade to Mavericks and have my FCP 7 stop working....

    Software / hardware harmony is a tricky business. It really boils down to two strategies.
    The first is what I call the lockdown model - which is what you've largely done and is often the model followed by people who MUST have a reliable system to do their work. This involves freezing the system at a known state where the hardware, OS and relevant software all work reliably and you can accomplish your tasks with a minimum of hassle. The upside is you come in, do your job, go home and don't have to think too much about the tool(s). The downside is if something breaks (usually hardware) or you need to change to a new software and it has been a long time (in computer terms) since there was any change, you often need to upgrade/update a LOT of stuff all at once - which is expensive, painful and highly disruptive.
    The other model is the "merry go round" model. This is where you are on a gradual upgrade/update path. You wait a few months after new versions of your software come out which gives the early adopters time to identify and sort the issues. At that point you can often update/upgrade with a level of certainty the system will work. The upside of this path is you stay reasonably current with hardware, OS and software and, since you've done this gradually but continuously, the costs are spread out over a longer period of time. The downside is there will be hiccups and the system will need more troubleshootiing if something unforseen in the necessary installation goes bad.
    In either path, it is imperative to keep a good working clone of a "known to be good" version of the system (OS & software).
    Ian points out a good strategy to start the migration to a new OS. A partition with the new system/software to test that can be booted from your existing system is a time honored protocol.
    One thing is certain, the great river of technology is not slowing down and if you make your living swimming in it, you must pay attention to where it's heading. This means trying to stay aware of the trends and thiinking over the horizon about how all that is going to affect your work.
    Good luck,

  • Do you know of a version of Final Cut that will run on Mac OSX 10.6.8?

    And where can I download it please?

    The older version is in demand, so you will have to shop around. A current search on eBay for a factory sealed Final Cut Studio 3 software packages shows prices from $400 to $1100.
    If you don't already own a copy of Final Cut Studio, make sure you are buying a full version, not an upgrade version

  • Final Cut Pro not working with Snow Leopard.

    Hello, folks, happy holidays and new year to you all.
    I have just recently found out the FCP 5 (fully updated, but I don't know what the exact version is) is not opening. It bounces in the dock, and that's it. However, the other apps are all working fine, Motion, DVD Pro, and Live Type. Soundtrack Pro is working as well, but I also own that with Logic, so I don't know which version it is.
    I'm on Snow Leopard 10.6.2, this is on my desktop. I have repaired permissions.
    What I haven't done, is to see if it boots from my backup 10.5.8 drive, as well as see if it is working on my laptop. The reason I'm posting is to see if there is a known problem and easy solution. Thanks all!
