Will FCP 5.1 work on 10.4.11?

Will FCP 5.1 work on 10.4.11?
or whats the max 10.4.x i can go to? currently on 10.4.4

I'm running FCP 5.1.4 on 10.4.11 and the finder doesn't appear to "see" the program. I can't hide it, and the screen saver kicks in while I am still working on a project. Annoying but I can deal with it.

If I upgrade to Mavericks will FCP 6 still work?

I have no intention of switching to FCP X but Snow Leopard is getting outdated for some applications. Will FCP 6 work if I upgrade to Mavericks?

I got an email today from a client who's buying a new macbook and wants to run fcp7 on it. Told him he might be better off buying an older machine.
Buying an older machine is an option, but quite honestly, if your client is doing his work for professional purposes (whether for himself or 3rd parties) I would suggest that he purchase TWO older Macs (preferably the same model).
Then he can set them both up and have a backup situation when the first one fails. In the case of using a new Mac, this is not as important, as one can always run out to the Mac store, come home with a new replacement and restore their backup/clone and be up and running with little loss of time. That scenario is not possible with a used Mac.
Hardware drivers can function in Parallels, through USB, but not firewire. What kind of hardware drivers are you talking about?
Lastly, I have finally found a local source who will "loan" me his copy of FCP 6 for educational/research purposes!

Will FCP Studio CrossGrade work on my non-Intel Macs?

Hello,
I am having to get the Final Cut Studio Universal Crossgrade for my new Mac Pro 2GHz Intel machine. Will the Crossgrade work on my other machines WITHOUT the new Intel chips (Power Mac G4 733MHz & G4 Powerbook 1.25 Ghz).
Thanks,
PM

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that the previous statements are only a half truth. I own a Mac Pro and a G-5. I upgraded to Universal on both of them and while the program works on both you can't take a saved file from the Mac Pro to the G-5. You get a "General Error" Message.
Anybody know any more information on this?

Will FCP Studio 3 work with Mountain Lion?

Will I beable to open my projects and work on them if I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

Yes, no and maybe...
By starting from your install DVD, you can copy the entire hard drive back from a TM backup. Takes ages though.
Retrieving documents is just a couple of clicks, as you probably know. Same goes for simple self contained apps.
FCS is a bit more complicated as it also puts lots of files into the Library and System folders -- some are even invisible. If you remove it or are starting with a brand new Mac, I doubt that you will get everything needed back by just clicking the half dozen icons in the Applications folder of a TM backup.
A cloned drive is a 1:1 copy. You can use the Restore function in Disk Utility. There are also apps such as SuperDuper or CarbonCopyCloner that can be used to make and retrieve your clone.

Will FCP 4.5 work with OS 10.4.11?

I'm currently working okay with 4.5 on OS 10.4.8, and am a little leery of changing my OS to 10.4.11, which I need for adding an M-audio midi box.
anybody ever use 4.5 with 10.4.11?
Thx much!!

Don't. You're in a bind. 10.4.11 and the version of QuickTime that goes with it does not support that version of FCP.

I have an old Power Mac 5.1 with an Inter Quad Core Xeon processor. (OS10.6.8) Will FCP 5.1 work with this computer?

I'm trying to recreate some edits with an old project file. The computer is older (this is all a friend's machine) and we're trying to transfer a project I've been working on to his machine. WIl it work?

I'm a bit confused, PowerMac 5.1 is the old G4 Cube, Quad Core Xeons would be a Mac Pro 1.1 to 6.1, but if you're asking about running it on the IntelMac in 10.6.8...
According to this... not very well...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
Final Cut Pro FCP 5.1.4 http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/finalcutpro/ occasionally freezes, occasionally crashes, sometimes require restart to run.
Last post here agrees...

FCP 7 not working with Mountain Lion!!

FCP 7 is not working!!
Once I install FCP in Mountain Lion (10.8) My FCP 7 won't let me open or create new projects shot with a Sony Z5 using Sony HVR-MRC1 to ingest media.
Prior to this I never had any problems with Snow Leopard.
When I try to ingest media FCP freezes and received the message that the application is not responding. For older works I am receiving this message:
Appreciate your help!!
Thanks,
Rolando

That error is well known and documented. Even if you are on The latest FCP 7.0.3 version, it can still appear.
Moving to FCP X won't help either. FCP 7 projects are not readable in X without third party conversion software.
FCP 7 should work fine in Mountain Lion (Mac OS X 10.8) I have it running in Mac OS X 10.10.2.
Use this free tool to trash FCP Preferences: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/ Doing so will return FCP to standard settings.
This tool is not free, but it has a trial period: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/promaintenance/ It includes the ability to repair corrupt project files.

Will FCP7 Studio Pro work on a new iMac Core i7 with OS 10.8.4?

We are still on FCP6. We never upgraded to 7, and we have just upgraded our iMacs.
FCP6 does not work with the new iMac and we would like to continue using the older version of of FCP.
Will FCP7 Studio Pro work on a new iMac Core i7 with OS 10.8.4?

You should refrain from repeating this suggestion about Rosetta (especially since you have no direct experience with it). Much has changed since the time of its discussion back in the introduction of Lion days.
The fact of the matter is that Rosetta has no valid function installed into Lion or Mt. Lion and users have reported serious system problems and crashes after further subsequent modifications and System updates.
There are two safe methods to install FCP6 (FCS2) into Lion or Mt. Lion:
Use Pacifist:

Use Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method:

Will FCP X Run Smoothly On This iMac?

I am thinking of purchasing the 27" 3.1 GHz iMac with 12GB RAM (default 2x2 with an additional 2x4). Will FCP X and Motion 5 run smoothly on this or would I need to upgrade to 16GB RAM, 3.4 GHz, and the AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB?

This is my pet checklist for questions regarding FCP X performance. It should help you set things up correctly if you decide to go for FCP X - a truly amazing application.
Make sure you're using the latest version - FCP X 10.0.3 runs very well on my 2009 MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB. I run it with Lion 10.7.3.
First, check that you have at least 20% free space on the Hard Drive that your System and your Media, Projects and Events are on.
Check the spec of your Mac against the system requirements:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
Check the spec of your graphics card. If it's listed here, it's not suitable:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system and use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install would be recommended.
Keep projects to 20 mins or less. If you have a long project, work on 20 min sections then paste these into a final project for export.
Create Optimised media - most camera native files are highly compressed and need a great deal of processor power to play back - particularly if you add titles, filters or effects. ProRes 422 takes up much more hard drive space but is very lightly compressed. It edits and plays back superbly.
If you are short of drive space, use ProRes 422 Proxy (FCP X Preferences > Playback) - but remember to select High Quality when you export your movie.
Hide Audio Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power. (Use the switch icon at the bottom-right of your timeline to select a format without waveforms if you don't need them at the moment, then switch back when you do).
Create folders in the Project and Events libraries and put any projects you are not working on currently, in those folders. This will help a lot.
Move your Projects and Events to an external HD (make sure it's formatted OS Extended - with journaled on or off) and run from there.
Unless you cannot edit and playback without it, turn off Background Rendering in Preferences - this will help general performance and you can always render when you need to by selecting the clip (or clips) and pressing Ctrl+R.
The biggest single improvement I saw in performance was when I upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 16.

Will adobe after affects work with final cut pro x

Will adobe after affects work with final cut pro x?

You can't work with the files natively, if that's what you mean - you can't drop a .aep file into FCP X, or vice-versa. You can do this to some extent using Premiere Pro and After Effects, but only if you get them together in the Production Premium collection.
Like Tom said, though, you can prep stuff in either direction and work with both applications without a problem.

I had a 640GB HDD in my Early 2008 Macbook and it was just too much it would always freeze up the computer a bit for only a few seconds but ya. Then I realized that it was the size of the HDD that was causing it since the Early 2008 Macbook models can only handle a MAX od 500GB while the Early 2008 Macbook Pros could have a MAX of 640GB (Lucked out there!) lol But ya the Early 2008 Mocbooks can only handle a MAX HDD size of 500GB and that's it!! lol

Providing you have a free HDMI port on the TV and the location you would put the Apple TV will allow it to connect to your network, you should be good to go.

Will Report Builder 2012 Work with SQL Server 2008???

Simple question really
Will Report Builder 2012 work in conjunction with SQL Server 2008???
Is it worth while upgrading?
The main reason i ask is the ability to export in an xlsx format
Thanks

Hi Gmach,
The version of Report Builder on SQL Server Reporting Service (SSRS) 2012 is Report Builder 3.0. The Report Builder 3.0 manufactures 2010 RDL reports, so it only works with the version of SQL Server 2008 R2 or later. So in your scenario, we can no connect
to SQL Server 2008 Server using Report Builder that on SSRS 2012.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
