FCP 3 Works in Tiger!
I got Final Cut Pro 3 to work in Tiger! Well, so far, it’s running better than in Jaguar. Quicktime 7 files encoded well. I rendered a title and couldn’t tell if there was a slowdown. I’m not getting any dropped frames or firewire issues. We’ll see if it runs well tomorrow.
My system suddenly starting having kernel panics a week ago, so I sent in a request for a new system, but as that could take several weeks to be approved (let alone stocked and shipped) I had to finish off some projects. I had to choose between reinstalling Jaguar or go to Tiger, hoping that would go smooth.
I checked all my backups, made sure the firewire drives were disconnected, loaded Tiger, followed by OS 9.2.2 on a separate partition. This was then followed by reloading FCP 1, DVDSP 1 and Quicktime 6.0.3 on the system 9 drive. And finally, FCP 3 on Tiger.
I wouldn’t do this unless you are having problems, as the panther install last year caused FCP to crash and took several days to recover from. As it is I will need to reinstall all the other programs, but will only do it as needed.

The best part is that you will be able to upgrade from FCP 3 to 5 for the same price we have to pay for FCP 4 to 5 upgrades.

So far Final Cut Pro is still running great. I worked on an edit for three hours yesterday and four hours this morning and not a single hiccup.
I like skipping over upgrades. My company could afford it but why spend the money on a few new features when I get 97% of what I need in a slightly older version. Plus I felt a little burned by the incremental upgrade from DVD Studio Pro 1 to 1.5, only to have a completely rehauled version 2 popping up a few months later. But that’s a knock on Apple that I’ve gotten over, especially when they’ve brought out such incredible software, consistently.
Can’t wait to get my hands on FC Studio!
