fc pro 3 just stopped recognizing quartz in graphics card
Hi All,
have a hackintosh, fc studio 3 on it was working fine until just recently. Have ati radeon 4850 graphics card.. premier cs5 working fine, fc pro saying that it needs quartz extreme compatible video card. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling, gives me same error message when tryng to install. Strange, no?
Please respond soon, at residency program with 45 people who need to be able to use final cut. Any advice welcome, didn’t build this machine and builder is out of comm range, but can get any specs that y’all need.
Thanks!!

Well, let me give you the highly sanitized and extremely compressed version of how Bob might respond.
Get a Mac.

have a mac, have dozens of macs, it’s our startup nonprofit that can’t afford a mac pro tower, thus the hackintosh, thus the plea for real help, thus the attitude at snark. Please someone help, just trying to help other people edit art videos here.

I guess what you don’t understand is that I *AM* trying to helping you. The answer to your problem is: Get a Mac. I’m not trying to be snarky.
And if you’re trying to teach people how to be productive on Final Cut Pro, then they’re learning a valuable lesson: don’t try running it on non-supported hardware. And another valuable lesson: if you DO choose to run it on non-supported hardware, don’t go begging for support on a forum filled with professionals, because we’re just going to tell you that you should do it right and not screw around with cheap, non-supported hardware.
Honestly, for the amount of money (and time) you probably have invested in building (and now troubleshooting) your hackintosh, you could have easily found a good, used PowerMac G5 (~$500 last time I looked), totally capable of running Final Cut Pro and completely supported.
