    Hello All,
    I am currently using 4.5 on my Powerbook. I have client who needs to borrow it and install FCP 5 on it. Should I delete 4.5 app? What else should I do before he installs FCP5?

    Thanks Chris

    THEIR copy of FCP 5…on your machine? When they are done with it you will have to remove it and reinstall FCP 4.5.

    You can install FCP 5 on top of 4.5…it will just change the version. Then, when you are done with FCP 5, remove it and reinstall FCP 4.5:

    How to uninstall FCP 5

    Here’s the way to do it:

    1) Close FCP
    2) Go to: /users/username/library/preferences/
    a. Delete the com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
