Anyone running FCP 7 and Premiere Pro at same time on same Mac? Any problems?
I want to have both FCP 7 and Premiere Pro open and running at the same time on my MacBook Pro. (I can download and use any version of Premiere Pro.) Premiere Pro will be using almost no processing power, I’m just using it as a tool to layout clip image frame grabs(.PNGs) as way to visualize the edit I’m doing in FCP 7. I’ll toggle between them as I work. (I’m on a MacBook Pro Mid-2015 running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6)
I’m curious to hear if anyone has experience running these 2 applications at the same time and if it’s stable or if there are any problems?
Thanks,
Matt -

So far so good with FCP 7 on El Capitan. 2 hours of ProRes footage on timeline. Full renders at reasonable times. Editing smooth. Small problem with a plug-in, but managed to workaround that. Yeah, I’ve heard a few OS’s back is better for El Capitan, but quite a few people report doing okay with it, and it’s working nicely for me.
I already have Creative Cloud, but if I didn’t I would definitely not shell the money just for a storyboard option. I was thinking the same as you in terms of just opening up a new sequence to be used for the storyboard .png’s. Project file size is 91 MB and I was hoping to keep it under 100 MB as I hear FCP 7 can be error-prone at 100MB +, but I think I’ll probably try it out and see how much it adds to filesize.

Thanks for advice Dave. Lol re beta-testing.
