FCP + Protools on same mac?
Anyone aware of any conflicts/issues with having FCS2 and Pro Tools 7.4 le installed on the same mac?
I used to have them on separate macs, mainly because Digidesign was so slow at updating for the latest OS versions…..
anyway – I’m running 10.4.11 and both FCP and Pro Tools seem happy with that OS. I know 10.4 won’t be upgraded anymore, so that is no longer an issue. I just need to feel confident the two will get along together on the same hard drive!

We have two machines here with 7.4 HD3 + FCP 6.0.2. No problems. The only thing that we do change so that FCP will start up is trash the AU versions of the waves plugs. Otherwise it takes an eternity start up and we don’t use them in fcp.
One very cool thing that happens is that you can play back your dvcprohd or prores clips from the protools timeline. hook up another lcd and drag that qt window over to the second monitor. Nice!

Thanks Keith – do you mean you trash the file called “WaveShell-AU_5.0.component” ?
I see what you mean about FCP taking an aeon to load!

I’m at nab now, so I’m not in front of the computer, but that is probably it. Put it in the trash or move it to another directory temporarily to test. If you just move it to another directory, you can move it back if you ever happen to need it in soundtrack, fcp, logic etc.
