MC5.5 and FCP7 on same Machine?
Posted by Devin Crane on July 5, 2011 at 9:27 pmWas wonder if MC 5.5 and FCP7 bode well on the same machine?
Thanks for the input.

After playing with MC for a while I think a tutorial is in my future. -

July 9, 2011 at 11:00 amThey will work ok together. However, their respective system requirements re: QT & version of the OS will change at different rates over time as new version/software updates are released. I would recommend adding a second internal hard drive and dual booting for the appropriate NLE.

July 13, 2011 at 2:51 amThat’s good advice. Is AVID still touchy about system updates? Back in my AVID days I recall having system updates render AVID and ProTools useless on more than one occasion.

July 14, 2011 at 7:00 pmAny additional hardware needed? I’ve got an AJA Kona LHi. From what I’ve read, that’s not going to work for Avid. Correct?
