  • Cannot open Final Cut pro on computer

    When I try to open Final Cut Pro on my laptop it gives me a message that says “• The installed graphics card does not support the OpenGL features recommended by Final Cut Pro.
    • Final Cut Pro recommends that your system have a CPU speed of 1.25 GHz; this system has a CPU speed of only 1000.00 MHz.”. It also says that if I continue it may not work optimally. I press continue and the program just closes. Is my laptop too old to support this program?

    Here are the specs of this laptop:Hardware Overview:

    Model Name: PowerBook G4 15″
    Model Identifier: PowerBook3,5
    Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
    Processor Speed: 1 GHz
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
    L3 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
    Memory: 1 GB
    Bus Speed: 133 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 4.5.3f2
    Serial Number (system):
    Hardware UUID: 00000000-0000-1000-8000-000A9588561E

    Thank you!

    “Final Cut Pro recommends that your system have a CPU speed of 1.25 GHz”

    “Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
    Processor Speed: 1 GHz”

    There’s your problem right there.
