    Anyone out there install the Universal version of FCP on their Macbook Pro? If so, how is it? I am running the regular version with results not too different from my DP 2gig G5

    You are running FCP 5.0.4? on the Macbook Pro? I was unaware you could run it at all on an intel mac… so it must work through Rosetta? In any event the Universal version should be a lot faster…. there are reports of it being faster on G5’s than 5.0.4 is in fact.

    Yes its running.. better than nothing, but renders of heavy fx are reeely slow. Soundtrack pro is ok so. Motion doesn’t run at all – bags out on the boot up. I am off to NAB this weekend and I am hoping to score the update there so I don’t have to send my discs anywhere.. just hand them off. We’ll see!

    Just check Peter Wiggins results from a couple of week ago. The Universal version seems to be very fast on the MacBook Pro. Peter even talks about it in the podcast #29 of CreativeCow.
