FCP HD and Mac Pro
Hi,
Anyone out there running FCP HD on a Mac Pro ?
I tried that and when I launch FCP HD, it reported that the software requires certain hardware – G4/350Mhz or faster and AGP graphics card

are you certain that the version you have is the Universal Binary? if not it won’t run because FCP doesn’t support Rosetta emulation.

Oh, come on, folks….
Read the forum carefully. You have to have FCP 5.1 to run on the Mac Pro. All other versions WILL NOT run. FCP 5.1 is the Universal Binary version made for the Mac Pro systems.

Yes, you’re right and I’m sorry if I came off as snippy… BUT this question is asked all of the time and with the recent adddition of the Mac Pro line of computers, people had to have known that these are totally different from the G5 line of Macs. Would you seriously think that old software could run on a new computer using a different platform for processing? These are questions that you should ask Apple when purchasing a new system.

I agree with you on this point that people should understand the differences. I think allot of people buy this system and software as an after thought. “Oh look I now have an edit system.” I don’t know anyone that set out to have ann edit system that didn’t do the research prior to purchasing. This edit software is not a toy, its a highly used broadcast tool.
Thanks, my rant is over. I’l go back to the cave. lol
Is that the color red you want to use?
