  Final Cut Studio on a 733MHz G4?

  Posted by Lanzi on August 7, 2006 at 7:03 pm

  I have a G4, 733 MHz PowerPC 640 MB SDRAM.

  I need to buy the latest Final Cut Studio package immediately because I can get it for $500 which is more than a bargain…

  BUT system requirements are as such (I won’t be editing any HD footage for a while so no
  problem there):

  867MHz or faster PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5, or Intel Core Duo processor
  HD features require 1GHz or faster single or dual processors (authoring HD DVDs requires a PowerPC G5 or Intel Core Duo processor)
  512MB of RAM; HD features require 1GB of RAM or more (2GB recommended)

  Do you folks think I can run FCP on my 733MHZ Mac and safely edit without any system problems??

  Not sure if the installer will even allow it. That being said, I was able to install it on a G4 PowerBook at only 800 mHz. Anyone running studio on less than that?

  Can anybody give us more feedback regarding this issue.

  It’s really important since I can get FC Studio for a very good price.

  Thank you.

  I’ve been using FCS installed in a G4 733Mhz with 1 Gb Ram and it runs. Don’t ask it a high performance but just for DV editing I think it’s ok.

  I’ve opened a huge movie project on it to take a look and it opened right and the system goes…

  Just few tests but good tests at the moment.
