  Do I need to upgrade ver 5.0.4?

  Posted by Donato M. rondinelli on July 16, 2009 at 4:45 pm

  Hi there,

  Were looking into getting a few Sony Ex3’s and I’m trying to figure out how much it would cost on the post side. It would be nice to upgrade all 3 seats, but we would prefer to put that off to a later date.

  1)Will I need to upgrade FCP to use this camera or will it work on ver 5?

  2) If we upgrade to FCP 2, will I have to upgrade all my plugins or will they work as is.

  The main purpose of these cameras are for the in-house team using their Premiere system. Our group will use them maybe 10% of the time. All that to say, what’s the bare minimum that I’ll need to do?

  We’ve got
  FCP 5.0.4, Kona LHe
  Two dual 2.7s G5s 4GB Ram
  One quad 2.5 G5 4Gb Ram

  Boris Graffiti v4
  Boris BCC v3
  Sapphire v1
  DFT 55mm v5
  Ultimatte v1

  Software upgrades are possible, hardware upgrades are unlikely till the next fiscal (next June).

  Thanks!

  You need to upgrade.

  I’m afraid most of the plugins won’t work with FC6.

  Um, when I did the upgrade to FCP6 last year, the vast majority of my plug-ins worked just fine. Did I just get lucky?
