    I also posted this on the Cinewave forum… I stilll love that card and it has made me a pile of money the last three months…. Should I upgrade to universal FCP or stay with FCP 4.5

    Hey Cinewavers, I am finally getting a break in edits and I am thinking about upgrading to the FCP Universal. But if I do, we all know you can’t get your original disk back. I have a dual gig G4 with a Terrabyte Medea running pretty smooth at the moment.

    For those Cinewave people who have upgraded to Universal what is your experience with it and Cinewave,,,, good, bad etc. And if it is good, what little tweaks did you do to get there.

    The FCP Universal upgrade is only good until Dec.20.. so I either jump or forever hold still….

    Do I jump into FCP5.1 Universal ????

    As you no doubt know, Cinewave is no longer being developed by Pinnacle. FCP5 (let alone 5.1) is not supported by the Cinewave hardware. Most users (including myself) have moved onto alternative capture cards such as Decklink or Kona.
