Will final cut studio run on the 1799$ macbook pro 15 i7?

ive been trying to install final cut studio 5, but it keeps saying my computer doesnt have the hardware required.... its the macbook pro 15 inch i7. heres a link to the exact one i bought. http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MacBook-MC721LL-15-4-Inch-Laptop/dp/tech-data/B000BN HM0C/ref=de_a_smtd

Hi
The price of the Macbook Pro has no bearing on what the machine can do.
The specs of that machine (model number MC721LL/A) is a 2011 Macbook Pro 15". Specs can be found here.
But, from what I can see - yes, it can run FCS 5. (Tech Specs can be found here)

  • Does Final Cut Studio run on a standard Macbook Pro

    Hi,
    I have seen Final Cut Studio 2 and it looks superb.
    Before I buy it, I want to make sure...does it run on a Macbook Pro with 2GB memory and an ATI X1600 PCIe graphics card? (Standard Macbook Pro 15" 2.33GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo)
    Do I need anything else? The Apple website is not fully clear about it (I think).
    Thanks for your reply.

    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Minimum Requirements to Install All Final Cut Studio Applications
    * A Macintosh computer with a 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5, Intel Core Duo, or Intel Xeon processor
    * 1GB of RAM
    * An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)
    * A display with 1024-by-768 resolution or higher
    * Mac OS X v10.4.9 or later
    * QuickTime 7.1.6 or later
    * A DVD drive for installation
    Is the ATI X1600 in my Macbook Pro a PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card?
    Thanks for your welcome...when I know it works and have installed it, I will be here more often I guess

  • Final Cut Studio 5 and the Original MacBook Pro compatable?

    Please help a frustrated old pro. I bought a MacBook Pro when they first came out, had it configured with a Quartz Extreme video card and upgraded Final Cut Production Suite to Final Cut Studio. I use Digital Juice products too. I just cannot get anything to work right - it shuts down, hangs up, is super super unbelieveably slow.....I took it in the local Apple store and they told me everything was fine but it can't be. This is my 3rd Mac - I've always loved them but this one doesn't work at all. My LaCie drives are so slow with it as well. What would you suggest I do? Thank you for your response!

    You Macbook Pro is Intel processor based. The first version of FCP 5, part of Final Cut Studio 1 was Power PC based up until version 5.1.1 when they went universal. If you're trying to install FCP5 version 5.0.4 or earlier it won't work at all on your Intel based Macbook Pro. You need to upgrade to FCP 5.1 or later, which means sending in your FCS discs to Apple and they'll send you back the universal versions which will work on both the Intel and Power PC based platforms. Hope this makes sense.
    If you're using FCP 5.1.1 or later on your Macbook Pro but it's not working right then you need to provide more info about your system: Anything that will help to diagnose your problem. All things being equal, your Macbook Pro should certainly be able to run FCP 5.1.1 or later.

  • Can I use Final Cut Studio 2 on the latest macbook pro retina display?

    I'm planning on buying the 15" macbook pro retina display and was given Final cut studio 2 from a friend as he woudn`t use it.
    is it possible to install this program on the computer at all and successfully use it or can i upgrade to the newest version?

    Studio 2? FCP 6? No. Sorry, won't even install. It's 8 year old software...and Apple no longer supports it. 
    The latest version, FCP-X...costs $299. There is no upgrade cost. But once you buy it, every single update after that is free...given the history of past updates.  Note...it's very different from FCP 6. Completely different app.

  • Final Cut Studio HD problem with new Macbook Pro

    I bought FCS HD and installed it onto my new Macbook Pro, but when I went to run Final Cut, it told me it was missing the graphics card. Now, the graphics card is different to my old laptop and G5, but surely the new macbook pro should be able to run my Final Cut Studio.
    I was planning to buy the upgrade, not a whole new programme - now I am worried I will need to buy both an upgrade and Final Cut Studio 2.

    This is a FCP HD, but no Final Cut Studio HD
    My guess is that you are trying to run FCP 4.5 HD on an Intel Mac.
    It isn't reliable even if you could install it.
    You need FCS2 -- at the upgrade price.

  • How can I install Final Cut Studio 2 on my new MacBook Pro with Lion?

    I just purchased and received a new 15" MacBook Pro (non-retina) last week. I need to install Final Cut Studio 2 on this computer. I have researched this and found that I need to install Rosetta from the Snow Leopard DVD in order to do this. This is the first Mac I've bought ( although I've been working with them for years), so I don't have a Snow Leopard DVD. I am a high school teacher and we use FCS 2 for my classes so buying FCP X is not a viable option for me since I teach FCP 6. The iMacs we use in school run Leopard and were never upgraded to Snow Leopard (budget cuts and all), so I can't even borrow one from my district.
    Does anyone know how I can obtain Rosetta? Or another way to install this without it?
    Thank you ! :)

    There is no way to add Rosetta support because it is not supported by OS X Lion at system level. This has been documented before the release of OS X Lion by itself.
    If you really need Final Cut Studio 2, I would return your computer if possible, and purchase a Mac that is capable of running Snow Leopard (all 2010 models, early 2011 MBP and some other 2011 models)

  • Working with final cut x (10.0.9) on macbook pro want to add compressor cannot download 4- where can I download 3

    working with final cut x (10.0.9) on macbook pro want to add compressor cannot download 4… where can I download 3?

    It has been available at some online retailers (Amazon) and EBay – but only as part of the discontinued Final Cut Studio suite. It would be cost--prohibitive to buy and there are other more cost-effective solutions. Depending on what you need to do, MPEG Streamclip might be a (free) solution. There are others – Episode, for example, which is not cheap at $500– but less than haf the cost of buying an used copy of FCS.
    Another approach (and the one I would follow in your situation) would be to install Mavericks on an external, bootable drive. Run a copy of FCP 10.1 and Compressor 4.1 from that drive.
    Good luck.

  • Will Final Cut Studio 1 run on new silver imacs running leopard?

    looking for advice or answers to this dilemma of mine...
    i've got a client who needs to run final cut pro 5(client owns intel upgraded version) using basic cutting features almost as an off-line editor to send his edit files and media to me to on-line edit. have been looking at used imac and have found a g5 imac but it seems too expensive compared to the price of the new imacs.
    so my question.. is anyone out there running final cut studio 1 (FCP 5 et. al.) successfully on an intel machine using the leopard OS (ideally new gen. imac)? or should i bite the bullet and buy the used g5 imac at a ridiculously inflated price?
    thanks in advance,
    grant

    I have a Quad G5 and an 8core 3ghz, both running FSC2 side by side. G5 is a FCS upgrade to FCS2 with the 8 core a brand new FCS2. The G5 still rocks, I have set renders going of the same HD edit and the 8 core wins by a tiny margin. The G5 has no problems but the 8 core fell apart with the 2.01 update. Compressor problems!
    I thought about selling the G5 and buying another Intel but it hasn't let me down once in 18 months so I'm keeping it.

  • Will Final Cut Studio do the job?

    Hi
    I've been using imovie for small easy projects for a number of years now and its great. However recently I filmed a wedding for some friends and need a program with a little more punch to do a professional job.
    Firstly is Final Cut Studio accessible for a novice like me?
    There are a few things I need to fix in post production that imovie just can't do. For example there are certain points where I need to eradicate bad camera shake. The other main problem is the sound. I recorded the sound separately on an audio device but for whatever reason the wav file is extremely quiet when played back. Therefore I need something to boost the sound. Is there anything in Final Cut Studio that will do this? These are the two big problems, there are other things like blond hair glair but I can sort that out later! Is Final Cut Studio right for me and do I have to be a computer genius in order to use it?
    can anyone suggest any good books to purchase to help use the program.
    Thanks
    Kev

    My friend has a new boxed Final Cut Express 4 (he hasn't even opened it!) he will sell to me dirt cheap so would the quality be better for importing on that?
    Go for it! Although I said earlier to stay with iMovie, given you are using DV tape you are no doubt better off with FCE due to the quality difference when using DV (when compared to iMovie '09). As I mentioned, I'm happy with iMovie '09 as I'm using AVCHD and get great results. I continue to use iMovie HD 6 for DV, although just for some early projects that need to be edited or completed.
    Otherwise how do I go about getting iMovie HD 6?
    Users in the iMovie forums recommend eBay, as it is no longer available from Apple. However, as it is now a product not supported by Apple, you will be better off using Final Cut Express 4 - particularly as you can get it from your friend at a great price! Follow Ian's advice and work through the Izzy Video free tutorials - it appears to be an excellent resource.

  • Installing and Using Logic Studio and Final Cut Studio 2 On the Same iMac

    In March of this year, I switched from being a long-time user of PC's to a 24 in. 2.4 GHZ iMac. In late May I purchased Final Cut Studio 2 and Aperture and have greatly enjoyed using both of these applications on my iMac. Both run with no problems under Leopard which I installed shortly after it came out. I am now considering the purchase of Logic Studio since I have enjoyed midi sequencing and audio editing for years on my PC's but wish now to do this on my iMac.
    I note that two of the applications included in Logic Studio (Soundtrack Pro 2 and Compressor 3) are a part of the Final Cut Studio 2 suite of programs that I already have installed on my iMac. How will Logic Studio handle this issue when I run the install of that software, i.e. will it be aware that I already have Soundtrack Pro 2 and Compressor 3 and just have those install options grayed out or will it overwrite my FCS2 installation of those two applications? Are there other issues or conflicts between Aperture or Final Cut Studio 2 applications and Logic Studio that I should know before installing Logic Studio?
    Thank you very much in advance for responding, and I look forward to reading this forum from this point onward.
    Tom

    Thanks again for your prompt responses, blayzay. I look forward to getting and installing Logic Studio. If anyone has any precautions on using it with FCS2 or with Leopard, please add a comment to this thread.

  • How well does Final Cut Studio run with 3gb of ram? Macbook Pro 2.33mhz

    I have a 2.33mhz (Model a1211) Macbook Pro. I've maxed out the ram to 4gb but because of the motherboard restrictions (that I still don't quite understand) it can only use 3GB.
    I've read on the FCS specs that the minimum is requirement is 1GB but Apple recommends 4GB.
    I cut mainly short 3 to 5 minute pieces with AVCHD video decoded with up to 60-90 minutes of footage.
    Will I have any serious issues with any of the Final Cut Studio Programs that I should be aware of?
    I'm obviously not expecting Mac Pro results but If it doesn't run very well with 3GB, I might have to rethink my purchase. If it is just a "hiccup" now and then with waiting for video to start or such, I will deal.
    Thanks

    Motion is gfx intensive. Meaning that the lower the gfx card, the lower the performance. You should expect little-to-no realtime performance from Motion on the system mentioned with even basic-to-remotely-intermediate animations. CPU RAM will make a difference in the amount of total frames that you can render in a RAM preview, but it will not affect realtime performance. With your proposed system: add a particle, a lower third text, a replicator with 5,000 points, a light with some shadows, and a reflection (and this is one of each mind you, not multiple instances) and expect around a * less than * 1-3 fps playback in draft quality with %50-%25 playback resolution. Then expect to wait up to a minute or more with the beachball of death for each parameter change. No joke either. Good luck fine-tuning your moderate-to-even-remotely-complex animation with your desired system.
    If working in Motion is your desire, then focus on the graphics card. Unfortunately you can not upgrade your gfx card on the MBP, so you should consider selling your MBP and investing in a Mac Pro. You can upgrade the gfx card in the Mac Pro and obtain optimal performance from Motion. Otherwise you'll literally be stuck in the mud with your animations.

  • Will Final Cut Studio 2 HD and FCP 7 Upgrade load on newest OS?

    Forgot to mention, although it will install it isn't officially supported by Apple anymore. Just in case someone jumps in to point it out.
