FCP 4.5 and Tiger ?

[Jerry Hofmann]

I’m not sure that TIger is ready for prime time. If you have the choice to stay in Panther, you’re safer… I sure love it’s promise though, and FCP 5 will likely run better in it… but 4.5 isn’t qualified to run in Tiger yet by Apple… so…

I have Tiger running on my secondary machine, FCP seems okay with it, just some quirks with h264 is all so far.

We tried Tiger and the round trip from FCP Motion and back doesn’t keep the effects applied in Motion. Motion crashed more and FCP crashed more and this was a clean install with just FCP HD and Motion installed. So were back on 10.3.8.

I’ve installed Tiger and have been editing 1-2 projects a day, exports, made dvds, never crashed…So I stick to Tiger…

I’ll definitely second that. Too many quirks for Tiger to come close to my FCP machines right now. Bottom line, if FCP 4.5 and OS 10.3.8 are working fine for you, don’t update yet.

I’m going to wait for FCP 5 to be released before I move Tiger to my machines and hopefully we’ll have a 10.4.1 update at that time. It runs ok on my laptop, but Safari, Mail and iPhoto still don’t work right and those are Apple apps.

My simple-dimple system did fine with FCP 4.5 and Tiger. I’ve just installed OS 10.4.1. Still seems fine!
