    I dunno if this topic has already been covered but… can you run AE 7 on a MacBook Pro ? I installed it with no problem, but when I launch it nothing happens 🙁

    You can run AE 7 on a MacBook Pro, but it’ll run a lot slower than if you were using it on a PowerPC Mac. Non-universal applications have to run through Rosetta, the PowerPC emulation layer of OS X, and that tends to be quite slow when compared to Intel native/Universal applications.

    Try reinstalling AE 7. Sometimes it takes a long time for AE to boot up when running in Rosetta, especially for the first time.
