  Installing final cut 6 and 7 same machine?

  Posted by Steve Cohen on December 12, 2011 at 8:09 pm

  I believe I’ve read this before, but I can’t find it now.

  Is it possible to install final cut 6 and 7 same machine?
  Is it as simple as creating a different folder for FCP7 during the install process?

  Thanks.

  I wouldn’t. Different partitions/OS drives. That’s what I do.

  I wholeheartedly agree with Shane.

  You might want to look at my Cow tutorial about setting up partitions for X and Lion. It will apply to FCP 6 and 7 as well.

  I agree with the others. I can tell you, any other way will open a door to the land of mass & confusion.
  Don’t go there!
  Different partitions is the way to go.

  Thanks guys.

  David I know how to set up partitions and do separate installs, but I though it was in another post by you that I read you could have both on the same partition.

  Maybe I’m confusing it with the partitioning for FCP 7 and X article that you wrote. I’ve got a major head cold today and the brain is a little foggy.

  Thanks again everyone.
