Will final cut 7 work on a 13" mbp 2.5GHz dual-core i5

Does anyone use Final Cut 7 on a late 2012 mbp 13" 2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5? I know it might run slow, but does it work with HD video?

That would be no problem as you would simply refrain from updating and your current FCP X would continue to work perfectly.
Keith: My early 2008 24" iMac with 4GB RAM handles FCP X perfectly. Anyway, try it for yourself at no cost with the 30 day trial

Sorry! Just noticed Russ and Luis have also mentioned this.

  • Will final cut express work with os maverick

    I am running mountain lion and FCE. will final cut express work with mavericks.?

    A follow-up to my previous post.  FCE 4.0.1 is working fine with Mavericks on the computer at my church (we use it to video-tape sermons and masses for YouTube). 
    A few weeks ago, I purchased a copy of FCE 4.0 from Amazon (one of only two left).  It would NOT work with Mavericks, and there was no upgrade available on the App Store (the only source of software upgrades with Mavericks).  So, I installed FCE on another iMac running Lion.  It installed just fine, and when I went to "Check for New Software" in "the apple", it found the upgrade to 4.0.1, installed it, I copied it to a blank DVD, and installed that on my iMac running Mavericks.  It is working fine.  (HINT TO APPLE: Can we please go back to the simple "Check for Software Updates" instead of the App Store?  Ever since Steve Jobs died everything Apple has become more complicated, not intuitively simple as he made it.)

  • Will Final Cut Express work on a Macbook Core Duo

    I have a 2006 Macbook 2ghz Core Duo with 2gig of Ram. Will Final Cut Express work on this? Will the integrated graphics card affect performance?

    hey there 12frets,
    FCE should run w/out major probs. you should even be able to run a 2nd display up to 23", which would be very handy as the Canvass(playback) window will be rather small on a 13" display.
    FCE System Requirements
    A Mac computer with a 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5, Intel Core Duo, Intel Core 2 Duo, or Intel Xeon processor
    For AVCHD: A Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of RAM or more
    An AGP or PCI Express graphics card compatible with Quartz Extreme; or an Intel GMA integrated graphics processor in a MacBook or Mac mini computer
    Some FxPlug filters are not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors.
    A display with 1024-by-768 resolution or higher
    A DVD drive for installation
    Mac OS X v10.4.10 or later
    QuickTime 7.2 or later
    500MB of disk space to install Final Cut Express and LiveType
    Additional 500MB to install LiveType content
    good luck.

  • Will final cut express work with a sony DCR-SR40

    I got a sony DCR-SR40 camcorder for christmas an imovie won't work with it - will final cut express do the job?

    First of all, welcome to the forum.
    That camcorder uses a USB interface, correct? FCP and
    iMovie can only import via FW. For hard drive
    camcorders, you must import the footage like you
    would files from an external HD. Then you can work
    with the files in FCP or iMovie.
    Good luck and happy New Year.
    This Camera supports Mpeg -2 files I have had no end of problems importing this into I movie. Bought the software recomended by Sony (Capty MPEG ..whatever) cost £65 and is rubbish, so bought the Quicktime MPEG 2 codec plugin for £15, got the picture not the sound. What plug in do I need for the Audio, or should I ditch the camera and go for a Firewire version.

  • Will Final Cut express work with MacBook Pro??

    I am new to Mac and got my first Mac, MacBook pro. 2.4GHZ - 2.o Gig Memory.
    Will this be enough or is there an hardware requirement that macbook pro does not come with?
    iMovie 08 does not have the effects I was using in the old PC. Slow motion, combining many audio tracks, cross fade etc.
    Thanks

    Final Cut Pro is the same program (to all intents and purposes) as Final Cut Express and requires the same power of computer - no more, no less.
    For most people, FCP will not do anything that FCE can't - apart from allowing you to use formats such as DVCPRO etc. that amateurs are unlikely to use. All the filters and transitions are exactly the same except for a couple of insignificant ones.
    The only reason for buying FCP is in order to get all the other programs that are bundled with it.
    Ian.

  • Will Final Cut Express Work with Internal iMAC speakers?

    Am new to Final Cut Express, having worked in iMovie for years
    I am trying to import iMovie8 content into FCX. Import went fine, however when playing back clips in view or canvas I hear no audio. Audio tracks show waveforms. When I scrub play line over tracks, I see reaction in audio meters, however when just simple play-no action. Have seen notes to set View/Video Out/Canvas Playback-have done so but no change in audio status.
    Does FCX require external speakers (which I don't have now), or is there a way to get it to play through internal speakers.
    Thanks for any help

    Peter-thanks for the reply
    I did validate that FCE uses the internal speakers when I directly imported some video clips from my camera-so I seem to be past that problem.
    I also found the iMovie import reference "does not import sound effects, audio levels or transitions". Since I didn't have any of these, I'm not sure this applied. However, since my base question (use of internal speakers) was definitely answered, I'll mark this answered and start another stream.
    Again-Thanks

  • Will Final Cut Pro work on the 2014 macbook air?

    I recently purchased an early-2014 13-inch 128 GB Macbook Air. I have done my research about video-editing software and would like to use Final Cut Pro. Would my air be able to handle it or is my only option using iMovie?

    WWhat graphics processor? How much RAM?

  • Will Final Cut Studio Work with Lion?

    I am considering upgrading my OS to Lion will I be able to use FCP Studio ?  

    FCS 3 works.
    FCS 2 will work if you install Rosetta from a mac OS X 10.6 disc first - the Installers are Power PC based.
    FCS 1.5 (with FCP5.1) Maybe. It will also need Rosetta.
    Anything earlier will not work.

  • If I update to Snow Leopard, will final cut pro still work?

    If I update to Snow Leopard, will final cut pro still work? My current version of Final Cut Pro is 6.0.6. Thanks.

    Apple is not telling you the Complete story about Lion.
    The installer for FCP 6 is Power PC code/ IBM CPU code, which Lion does not support.
    FCP 6 is NOT Power PC code, it will run on Lion and Mountain Lion, as I have read on many posts.
    The solution??
    Solution condition where FCP 6 installed and upgrading OS to Lion
    Do nothing, its already running OK
    Solution condition where FCP 6 not installed and OS Lion installed.
    Connect a firewire drive to your MAC and install the old OS on it (eg snow leopard) ,
    Reboot to that OS
    Install FCP 6
    Reboot to your new OS   (EG Lion)
    Run FCP 6

  • Will Final Cut Pro 4.5 still work if I upgrade to Mac OS X v10.5.4?

    Will Final Cut Pro 4.5 still work if I upgrade to Mac OS X v10.5.4?

    I'm with Jon on this one. I know someone who uses FCP 5.0 on a MacBook Pro, he has all sorts of wierd issues including:
    Projects he has created throwing up an error message "Unreadable on this machine" when re-opened.
    Projects losing and refusing to connect to render files.
    Dissolves simply not working -this is not to do with lack of handles, it just happens.
    LiveType and FCP's own title generator files not automatically compositing.
    Lots of kernel panics and unexpected quits.
    These might not happen all the time, but always crop up at the worst possible moment.
    I can move his project files and media to my setup and everything works.

  • Will Final Cut Express 2.0.3 work with Tiger 10.4.4

    Will Final Cut Express 2.0.3 work with Tiger 10.4.4

    We have it running on our iMac G5s. Although it runs reasonably well, there are some teething problems with it. One of them is we cannot capture from a camcorder using timecodes because it just crashes when we try and do that, so we can only capture using the "DV Convertor" mode. Not unreasonable, but slightly annoying.
    We also have the problem that, when we brought some new iMac G5s recently with the iSight built in, it wouldn't work at all because it didn't seem to realise that a PCI-Express graphics card was actually a graphics card at all, and it kept demanding we install an AGP one, which was a bit stupid.
    Apart from that, it's definitely useable. No crashes or anything like that. And we use it daily.

  • 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.

  • Will Final Cut work with 13 1TB drives daisy chained togerher

    Will Final Cut work with 13 (1TB) Firewire 800 drives daisy chained (78 feet) together? Has any one done this? If so were there any problems?

    Thanks for your advice guys.
    I did run into problems, had to start computer with only my pre-existing SATA and FireWire 800 drives (connected to the back of my Mac), then I made sure the 14 FireWire 800 drives were turned off, attached the FireWire 800 cable to the front of my Mac, turned on the drives from closest to furthest in the drive chain (6'cables between each drive) and all of the drives came up on the desktop.
    When I opened the FCP project that had media associated with the 14 drives I got the spinning wheel of death. After rebooting and restarting the gang of 14 I thought I would try to open one of the drives on the desktop, again the spinning wheel of death. Will move to plan B - 9" cables, plan C is installing the drives into two drive towers.
