FCP 7.0.3

[Devrim Akteke]

Hi,

What is this about can you give details?

[Dave Farrants]

As it says, I have FCP v7 running on an old MacPro 4.1, there was an update to 7.0.3 which is no longer available from Apple – I’m hoping someone has an archived copy they can send me.

[Devrim Akteke]

I have it installed on one of my old machines but I don’t have install files. I can copy it from the applications folder. I am not sure if that works .

[Dave Farrants]

Not sure that would work but thanks for the offer, I’ll hold out to see if anyone has the 7.0.3 installer. It’s not mission-critical and I can live without it, it’s an old 4.1 ElCapitan system I use for digitising archive DV/DVCAM tapes via a BM Intensity card.

Same here I will need to fire up an old cheese grater to see if it exist.
Crossing fingers.

Dave:

It’s unclear what you need. Do you already have FCP 7.0 installed and need PROAPPLICATIONSUPDATE2010-02 which updates it to FCP 7.0.3. I can send you that .dmg (324.8 MB).

Dennis, Yes, I have FCP7 installed and would like the 7.0.3 update.

I started with FCP 2.0.1 in 2000 (although I did have earlier beta versions while still using Media 100) and stayed with FCP until 2015 when I finally switched to FCPX for all my editing. In 2019 I switched to Resolve Studio.

Now retired, I only work pro-bono for Church, Charity, Voluntary organisations but I still get asked to transfer VHS, Mini DV and DVCAM tapes to either DVD or mp4. I found a BM Intensity card on eBay for £10 UKP , then a 4.1 MacPro, Dual 3.2 with El Capitan with 32Gb RAM locally for sale for £100 UKP, I fitted a couple of SSD’s and then found a genuine unopened (still film wrapped) commercial version of FCP7 on eBay for £30UKP and couldn’t resist buying it.

To have the 7.0.3 update would be great if you could send it (WeTransfer is OK up to 2GB)

As an aside, I have the important FCP v6 updates that I occasionally get asked for, after people find me from conversations on Creative Cow years ago, but I never kept the 7.0.3 update!

WeTransfer, or Grosfichiers (free to 10 GB). Send me your email address.

My email is obtainable by googling “optimal fluorescent colors”, going to the Wiley page, and clicking on the blue envelope icon at my name.

I still use FCP 7.0.3 almost exclusively. What can’t it do? Recently it disappointed by its inability to reognize that a .mov file was in BT.2020 color space.
